Future plans 2018-2019


From birth to now, I have never really found that place that I belong aside from living in Hendersonville. As I stated in a previous post, our hearts have longed for Hendersonville since we left. We knew that we weren't finished. Coming back to Florida was just a means to an end for us. Yes, we were judged for it. Yes it has caused separation from my family, but not without purpose.

"but Jesus told him, 'Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God.'"Luke 9:62


When we returned to Florida, it felt like we were looking back. We weren't doing whatever it takes to be successful where we were called. We felt like Jonah when he wasn't listening to the Lord and was swallowed up by the fish. Florida is our fish. We know this isn't where we belong.

Over the last 2 years, we have wrestled with where to go. We know that Ocala isn't where we are called. We have contemplated with everything you can imagine, from New York to Miami. We even thought about going out west and starting over. Every time we think about anything, we always come back to the Hendersonville/Asheville area. It is the only place that we have ever really longed to be. The only place we have felt accepted. Asheville will always hold a dear place in our hearts.

It is with much joy that I reveal our next steps. As the rest of this year closes out, we will be making our preparations for a spring move to the Asheville area. We have realized just how much we need to be there. Additionally, we realize exactly how much we WANT to be there. The Lord is doing great things in us and we are ready to do what he says. He's telling us that we should be going to where when we get off of the interstate for a visit our kids say "Welcome home peeps", yes, that totally happened for spring break 2017.

We know that this will come as a shock to many, but we aren't doing this because it is what others want for us. We are living the life that the Lord leads us to live. We are making this move because we feel it is the right move for our family. If there are some out there who do not agree with what we are doing with out family, that's on them.

Remember, The Lord commands us:

Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged. And why worry about a speck in your friend's eye when you have a log in your own? How can you think of saying to your friend 'Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,' when you can't see past the log in your own eye? Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend's eye. Don't waste what is holy on people who are unholy. Don't throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you. Matthew 7: 1-6

MEMORY FULL....

So,after not falling asleep until well after 2am this morning, I got up at 8, and got the kids ready, packed the van and we were off to Mom's for Maddie's party.... So, I made sure I didn't forget my camera. That was a major thing... so, we get there and the castle jump was already there. The girls went and got in it right away, I started taking pics. After just 5 pictures, a screen says, Memory Full. I had forgotten my memory card. And since I had to go to walmart for mom anyway, I got a disposable camera to do the party with. So, no pics til I get them developed and then I have to scan them to the desktop so I can then download them here... Long process but you will like the pics (i think). Anyway, I am off. TTYL! Dawn

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
