Greetings Friends!

Hello! I hope this finds every one doing well--it has been a very long time since I last wrote! I hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving day. My family and I were really blessed to be with each other and also to have Grandpa and Grandma come down for a visit! It was wonderful to visit and share around the table.

I was very blessed, challenged, and encouraged by the Bible school I recently attended; thank you all for your prayers and kind wishes. I learned so much and hope to eventually share with you! Until then, I found a very, very neat quote that I think you all will enjoy very much. I found it in a precious little book titled, “The King’s Daughter,” by J.E. White. 

“Little self-denials, little honesties, little passing words of sympathy, little nameless acts of kindness, little silent victories over favorite temptations—these are the silent threads of gold which, when woven together, gleam out so brightly in the pattern of life that God approves.” -Dean Farrar

Isn’t that true friends? This is the life I so desire to have. . .may we all strive to crucify our flesh so we may become bright and holy lights for Christ!!

May Jesus bless you!

A Wonderful Talent of a Dear Friend. . .

Greetings friends! (Yes, I should be packing, and cleaning, and well. . .)  :)  But alas, I want to do one more thing before beginning my tango with the mop.

I really felt the Lord impressing it on my heart to introduce my dear friend Kristin--a wonderful photographer. God has blessed her with the lovely ability to capture His beauty. I just wanted to let you all know about her site: http://spiritandlifephotography.com . Beyond having great talent, Kristin is a sweet friend who is currently serving (and learning) at a missions school in Ghana, Africa. Please, as you peruse her work, keep a prayer in mind for her safety and also that she may soak up all God has to teach her! He has a grand purpose!  

With much love (Yes, I guess I need to get to work. . .),

Au revoir!

Dear friends! Greetings! I hope you all are well both physically and spiritually. Perhaps you are enjoying sunny fall weather? :) I am well (actually, I’m excited!). As my titled suggests, I am leaving the blogging world for a little bit of time. I will soon be leaving for Pennsylvania for a week-long youth Bible School. While this is not an official school, I can guarantee that I will be tried, tested, and challenged in my walk with Jesus.  I have been blessed to attend this biblically sound and encouraging school before, and I know God has big things in store. Hopefully, I will be able to share how it went when I return! Until then, I would like to share a few *ahem, several* photos with you.

“But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

"And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” Psalms 1:2,3

 

Some dew drops on a chilly morning.

“For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.” Romans 1:20

“This is what God the LORD says--he who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it, who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it:” Isaiah 42:5

Dear Kimo, our lovable dog.

Momma and I love to find things with ladies covering their heads. Momma found this dear coffee mug for me! (And I love it!)  :)

A Hint of Winter

The first actual frost I’ve seen this year. I had to scrap my window shield with a Barnes and Noble card! :)

A rose sprinkled with frost.

“I’m dreaming of a white Christmas. Just like the ones I used to know. . .”

Bundling up! :)

May you have a blessed week, my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ! If you are able, keep me in your prayers that I may have a hearing and obedient heart to all the Lord teaches me this coming week! Also, for traveling mercies!

With much love,

Frannie
