There's a promise coming down your dusty road.

This powerful song was sang everynight on our midwest banquet tour. It gives me goose-bumps when I hear it sung. Megan decided that these dear Nabraskins could turely relate to Jesus coming down their "dusty road". :) So as I was walking these dusty roads I found a rusty old truck. After a long walk and getting ready for the service I got my camera and asked Megan to be my photo object along with the truck...That day Megan found Wal Mart glasses...dear me...only She. :) I do believe she pulls them off better then most! ;) When I looked through my view finder to take this picture I BURST OUT LAughing! :)God invented Sepia before the editing programs, the sun does it perfectly...

Enbracing a new season...

This is looking back at my summer.It was a good summer...but I almost always go into my summer with lots of ambition and excitment, and I come out so fast!! It took me awhile to be ready for fall..I felt like it all happened so fast. Time does go fast. I just pray the Lord will teach me to use it wisely.

(Wall house with the Barkmans. We had a 100 question interview for our brothers to answer. Learned some captial things about guys and what we can to to make their life just that much better.)

(she makes me smile)(Coffee and tourist shopping with Katelyn. So good to be with her again.We used to be friends and travel together when we were little. And we didn't always get along. BUt after some maturity has taken place...sweet friendship.)I was at this alter a time or two...(Right before we left we ate at Nepps one more time.)I had a about half a day by myself at a bed and breakfast next door. Lovely. I call this my "waiting picture." When turely being saved...then truely the one to whome I am engaged with come back for me. Why would HE? Of couse Jesus is coming back. But why? Has He fallen in love with a fair maiden...? Why else would He come back but for His bride? So He doesn't "have to just " except me into His kingdom"....He has fallen in love with someone....and wants to be with them very badly. Sometimes I am scared to "watch and wait" it seems sometimes to large and powerful to me. But to think He is coming...for me. (The church) Amazing He is.I have asked the Lord for a "word", a "word" to bring my heart to rest about how my summer was....and inbrace fall with joy and brown knee socks.Not that my summer was bad, just making sure it's was GREAT to Him! :) Sometimes the lies that it wasn't "good enough" enters into the whole thing. But I lay it to rest in Him.Ah...summer was lovely. The more I think about it the sweeter it seems. It's amazing, as I write, the Lord brings closure. Thank you Lord for the summer of 2010.I am so ready for my favorite season...fall...sweetness...yes..

To be a dermatologist..

I greet thee on this Sunday afternoon with a natural face and body cream recipes. This past year at the A.T.I conference in my last year of Commit we had electives. This was one of them. Learning to naturally take care of your skin. I learned how to make a face scrub, and a toner. And after waiting to find all the supplies, I'm finally making the face cream. You need: Coconut Oil (the most expensive item in this mix. Find at any health food store.)

Stearic Acid(This is what took us so long to find. But we finally found a very inexpensive site. SoapGoods.com)

Baking SodaAnd distilled water. Very simple.I just used old lotion containers and a few iGo bottles from Wall-Mart, to put the lotion in. It's a small batch, so I didn't need near all of them.
Here's how you do it. Melt 1/4 cup coconut oil and 2 T. Stearic acid on the stove top.

Then either in the microwave or stove top mix half a cup of distilled water and 1/2 a tsp. baking soda and bring to boil. Then pour the two together...this is this is the fun part, they foam up and make a soft white sensation. Let cool completely, then put in containers. There you have it...beautiful soft skin. I messed around with it a bit...tried to get it right, but I think I just messed it up more..;) we shall see what happens next time. Lovely afternoon to you all...
