Courageous: The Movie





Just went and saw this movie on Monday evening. I put this picture here to remind us all this is a race we are in....a race to raise our children, our families in the Lord. It takes a lot of work and dedication and the willingness to say "I WILL". Hope everyone goes to see this movie and remind Hollywood that we do want quality movies out there like this one....blessings, deb

Shop Opened and Going Well!!!

As you walk through the door that I share with Kristi that has the beauty shop, this is what you see. My latest large project completed the night before my opening and actually finished it the next day before 11am....thought it turned out kinda cool!!!




The wood under the paint is a birdseye maple....someday, I may work on getting the rest of the paint off. This once held a mirror, but now, a glorious variety of men's ties!




Crazy beautiful, I would say!!! This reminds me of life at times, going in all sorts of directions, weaving in and out of all the craziness and yet, everything has a purpose and I hold on to that. Here, it ends up holding wonderful things and shows off the life and history behind the ties....many of these belonging to a dear man in our church. Richard and Ida shared 60 years of marriage together and I tribute this piece to him and I just don't know if anyone is required to wear ties in heaven! I do hope there is no pantyhose wearing in heaven..... :) deb

Opening up my shop on October 10th!!! Deb's A to E!!!



It is all about venturing out onto the water, knowing you can walk on it with the Lord's help....yes, fulfilling a dream is exciting and scary at the same time. As Peter walked on the water, I can't imagine him not be exciting with the first step, but also scared to death. Remember, he was doing fine while he kept his eyes on Jesus but once he took them off and looked at everything else going on around him and the human thinking of "this is really impossible", he started sinking. I am so excited and scared at the same time with this new business adventure and am in prayer all the time to just keep my eyes on Jesus and so appreciate the love and encouragement of friends and family.....

thank you,

debbie :)

Busy getting my shop ready!!!



It is all about deciding whether I am going to turn the "knob" and go through the door and start this

new adventure.....



......or just stand there and admire the door and do nothing. It is scary! Well, I have turned the knob, walked through the door and am plunging into this new adventure of being a business owner. I wish this was the door to my new shop but it isn't. It is one of the many fabulous doors of one of my bosses....I have several very part-time jobs! Excited, scared and asking for prayers!!!


Thanks,

deb

What did you do for Labor Day?

This is Petunia who lives in a town called Burbank, BUT, it is in South Dakota! Never knew of this town until my son Josh moved down to Vermillion, South Dakota! Took a quick trip to meet his girlfriend Amy and see where he lives and the places he works. At this little farm where he helps out, one of the animals is this pot belly pig. We got acquainted rather easily, I'd say!!!












It was a beautiful day!!!


Blessings,
