Kat said...: Christy Rose,

Thanks for stopping by to visit me at Arts Chili Pepper. I am glad you will be stopping in to visit me regularly. If you don't mind I would like to hang around here, too.

Yes, Hope is a dear. Not only one of the sweetest people I've met in blog world, but one of the sweetest I've ever met.

This sounds like a very special time with the ladies in your life. We used to go to tea, just the girls, about once a month...but it has been too long. Thanks for bringing it back to my memory. We will definitely have to get back into that habit!

Happy Thursday!

What fun! We just found that we had a tea house just in another town about 15 minutes from us and will be heading there before the summer is over.

How wonderful that you all enjoyed just being together!

RCUBEs said...: Beautiful family, lots of girls! Growing up with 5 brothers and my mom's side having 2 brothers and my dad had 6 other brothers, you can imagine that I never even played with dolls! So, your post blessed me because I had a little taste of how it was like to have "sisters" and lots of girls from different generations full of love. God bless sister Christy. Love you in Christ.; July 9, 2009 at 3:07 PM

Welcome

just some insights into my thoughts and feelings about my life and what God is revealing to me and how i am experiencing His grace and mercy in so many ways. please feel free to comment and share your heart here too. i'd love to hear from you. you never know whose life you just might touch with your insights as well.

My First Blog Entry
March 27, 2009

laying my heart at the feet of Jesus
well, here goes. not really sure how this is going to go but i do believe it is in my heart to begin to share some of the things that God is doing in my life and secrets that live in my heart. i've really been inspired by a blog that i have just begun to read by a young, sweet mommy (what she calls herself). happening upon her blog was not an accident but, i believe, a direction from the Lord. as i have read much of what she has written from her heart, i've been moved to tears and smiled a lot, enjoying partaking of what she has shared. wondering if anything that i have to share might move anyone as her writings have moved me, i thought that i just might let some of my heart be opened to those interested in hearing the secrets in the heart of a wife and mom who sometimes feels as if she might drown in the difficulties of raising five children if it weren't for my God who is ever so merciful and His Grace who is ever so powerful. as i write this, tears stream down my own face, thinking of some of the situations that i am laying at the feet of Jesus at this very moment in my life. this seems to make it plain to me that going forward with this new adventure of blogging may just be a way for God to continue to remind me of His love and His goodness toward me. open heart surgery, with God's love as the knife, that's kind of what it feels like. cutting away the dead, useless pieces and repairing it with His intense, unconditional love. i hope that a few people are touched and moved to sharing their lives as well by reading some of what i may reveal of myself as i continue to lay my heart at his feet and trust Him to keep it and make it whole.
