(sorry about the one eye Kim) ;0)

We went to see my mother's brother and sisters

&

several of my cousins

at the Bell Buckle Cafe. The food was very YuMmY!

Bell Buckle Cafe was also there that night at the food fair.

Was a busy day but enjoyed the activities!

The light was a little hard on the eyes so most of the pictures looked horrible of us.

Did get a few of Aaron.

My Friend, Regina and I attended the Food Fair. We enjoyed seeing all the different booths and learned of some restaurant and cafe's that are around in our area that we want to try. It was a fun night while our husbands stayed at my home and enjoyed a pizza and movie night.

My Loot I brought home.

I should've thought about taking a picture of the food I tried while I was there. Oh well...

This morning I'm sitting with my laptop and Thanking God for A-L-L my blessings!

This song So Much To Thank Him For is running threw my mind it says:

When I look around and see the good things He does fore me, I know I'm unworthy of them all, but His blessings He freely gives; I owe my life to Him, I've got so much to thank Him for.

And sometimes while on this way I kneel, I stop and say, Thank You for all you've done for me, And one day I'll reach heaven's shore; Oh, please just let me kneel once more, I've got so much to thank Him fore.

and then the chorus is ....

And I've got so much to thank Him for, so much to praise Him for, Well you see He's been so good to me; And when I think of what he's done and where He brought me from, I've got so much to thank Him for.



I feel I don't stop often enough from this busy LiFe I live to fully look at all that God has done for me. There has been time on the Mountain and then many times in the valley that seem like it would never end but He always stay right with us to get us up to the next mountain top.

Hebrews 12:1 & 2
WHEREFORE seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

FOLLOWING THE COURSE THAT IS SET BEFORE US

NOT A CALL OF REST BUT TO RUN

NOT A CALL OF IDOLNESS BUT A CALL TO ACTION

NOT A CALL TO COAST BUT A CALL TO CONTINUE

WE MUST CONTINUE THE COURSE TO MAKE IT TO THE ETERNAL CITY

1. TO BE DETERMINED

2. TO BE EARNEST- TO LIVE OUR LIFE FOR HIM NOT FOR OTHERS AROUND US

3. TO ENDURE- RUN THE RACE WITH PATIENCE

RUN WITH THE TORCH HELD HIGH AND STILL LITE.

I woke early this morning and listened to http://www.hobesoundbiblechurch.com/ 8.9.09 evening service and was encouraged with the songs and the message. I serve a God who will give us the strength and the doors to walk through that will lead us to our goal of seeing HIM!
