OUR WORDS AND THEIR POWER

I am nothing But in Christ I am righteous...Father I thank you for the throne of Grace. Thank you, you are my healer and deliverer. Nothing is greater than your Word Father... If I abide in Him, his words abide in me. We can't act like hypocrites--put on a show at church and be one way, be around friends act another way and then in our homes be another way.. God can't answer my prayer when my Words counter dict what I say I believe, but then live and say different the rest of the week. If I had a talking bird in my house and you took it out after a year, what would the words be that comes out of the parrots mouth....hmmm

God must honor words, He can't honor words that go against his word. If I want answered prayer I need to align up with what Gods word says. I need to get the word in my life. Death and Life are in the power of the tongue. The word says I have the mind of Christ.

Words create atmosphere-- Some time there is tension when words are being spoken.

When In prayer we can't pray for say our spouse then behind their back say something else that is ugly. How can that prayer get answered.

We need to speak the word -- speak Faith--Call those things that be not, as though they were Romans 4:17

Word of Faith-- the Power of confessing -- what soever ye desire, when ye pray believe ye receive them and ye shall have them. That takes faith to believe I received it when I asked. That means I don't need to keep going to the Father over and over for the same thing..Ask - Believe I received- and then Thank my Lord for it believing I will have it ...--

Mark 11:22-24 Jesus answering said unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall SAY unto this mountain, Be thou removed, an be cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he saith shall come to pass he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, what things soever ye desire when you pray BELIEVE that ye received them and ye shall have them.

Our words can be a great gift to others if we would only take the time to share. How have words impact you in your life.

There is power in the name of Jesus..

There is Healing in the name of Jesus..

Whenever we say his name things begin to change

This past couple weeks the Lord has been talking to us as a family about our words, how they effect others, how to pray using the word. How my words can be life or death. We had a situation we needed to use some tough love on in our home...My Lord helped me to handle the situation and also to help the one that needed the tough love...As they were in youth group they were talking on OUR WORDS and how they affect others....So when they got home and we talked about the class from that night it was like ....You are never going to beleive what we talked about....I said hmm being nice to others.....NO we talked about OUR WORDS and how they can hurt...WOW how God works....

I hope someone gets something out of this, I know we sure have and I needed to post this for us, for me to keep in rememberance and to look back on and see how our Lord works in our life in many different ways...

LOVE TO YOU,

Jolyn

DWTS...VERY DISAPOINTED

I just need to vent for a minute or two, I have been watching off and on DWTS this year and I'm very disappointed in one of their contestants....and in the show, also in the comments being said with one of the contestants and the sleazy actions of HER....It is bad when my teenagers say something about how she dresses and or slimly dresses and the seductive actions and ways about her...Is this dancing or sleazy low class ways of getting viewers...I'm sorry I am sure I will have a lot disagree with me but come on....this is a disgrace....I will no longer be putting this on my tv and we will know longer be watching this as a family in our home...
I am not judging her as a person, I guess the show for allowing this and for going in this direction. This is not MTV...
OK I feel better...not about the show, better that I vented..lol
LOVE TO YOU,
Jolyn

MY WEEKEND RECAP

What a wonderful weekend we had. Saturday we did a lot of celebrating, with family and friends at my cousins wedding.
Sunday was another nice day, after church I was outside looking at all the new growth and blooms. This is our Pear tree in bloom.

Mike and Michael worked the rest of the day on the fence. They took down the back and had to dig out some of the old posts and replace them. I kept saying be careful watch out for my Lilac tree.. Oh how I love Lilacs...

Michael was such a big help..You can see Mike behind the lilac bush... Good bonding time for the two of them.

On another note I started walking with my cousin. I am just taking things little by little. I need the walking and some food changes, I eat mostly carbs and need to cut them way back. So that is some changes I am making in my life right now.

Blessings an Hugs,

Jolyn

NICE AND SIMPLE

Hello, hope all is going great, Now that Easter is over I needed to change my frame. By the way look on the top of the curio.....Yes that is my Christmas cactus in bloom....crazy it blooms for Thanksgiving and again through the summer and here it is for Easter...My Violets also are in bloom...Just thought I'd mention it..
This month my frame is simple and clean. I just cut card stock to size the white wash piece then added a piece of the white with silver gray swirls.

I also added new this month on the bottom left corner est. 1984.

I was so excited when I got up today to look outside and see my yellow tulips are out, they weren't at 10:00 pm last night....everything is opening up by the minute....I love it, I get so excited...

You have a wonderful day and I will post more later on today.

SPRING BREAK IN REVIEW

Hello, it has been awhile I know. I was spending spring break with my youngest and getting ready for Easter. Today everyone is back on schedule and it fills so good. I am usually not the one to say that but this time I was ready to get some peace and quiet... As I am sitting at my desk looking outside it is a beautiful day, sunny warm around 79 degrees out, with some wind. The blossoms and perennials are coming up and out...It feels lovely with everything coming alive again.


Have you seen this movie? It's worth seeing we really did enjoy it. I don't want to say to much about it and give some of the scene away.

I took my niece and Mom along with Autumn and I. At the end my Autumn said do you know what the moral of the story was? I laughed to myself because I usually say that had a good moral to it or what was the moral....I won't tell you what she said but at 14 1/2 she hit it right on.

The next morning the girls were being silly and came downstairs brushing their teeth...Sydney had spent the night after we went to the movies...I said you girls are so good your brushing your teeth and they laughed and laughed only to show me....

They were brushing each others teeth...At least they both have braces and know how its done..Girls can be so silly.

On another evening Autumn had a good friend over night and I walked upstairs to go to bed only to find the upstairs full of nail polish and nail polish remover fumes...and this picture of them not minding a bit of it. Oh my girls lets get this window open...

I took my Autumn to get her hair trimmed and highlighted..This is after the Highlights.

This is during..she wanted for along time to go darker with her hair, but after us waiting and closer to summer she wanted more golden through her hair. Autumns hair needed to be brightened up it is like a brownish blond and needed some life to it...
So this was part of our week along with SHOPPING of course a couple of days of that. We went to Columbus to shop one day its a couple hours from us and we had a great time. She spend a lot of time at forever xx1....

Have a wonderful week and I hope you are having great spring weather like we are right now.

BLESSINGS & HUGS,

Jolyn

BEFORE AND AFTER DINING ROOM

Welcome, I can say that I am now 95% done with dining room...I really really love this room now. Let me show you some finishing touches we did..
This is a picture of my material I found at wal mart for 5.88 a yard....LOVE IT

Here it is on my chair. My chairs went from green to this wonderful fresh look.

This was my 17 year old chandelier all in brass and glass...It had to go, the brass part..

We took it down and it got a coat of black satin spray paint...Woo Hooo...What a difference all for 2.99.

This is dining room before chair rail and light painted, along with old chair material. The walls are painted gentle rain by behr.

Nothing done here, just taking down Christmas stuff. You can still see oak base boards and wallpaper along with green chair seats.

My table with some odd and end white and black dishes, I was seeing how it would look. I need to get new dishes.....look out tj max, marshals, home goods and where ever else I can find great price on black and white....

So here I show you my almost totally finished dining room...I want to get a picture for the wall on the left and you can't see in this picture but in another post I have a small curio that is next to get painted and the glass and oak lighted stand you see here on the left I would love to paint the oak on this also...We have some touch ups on the chair rail yet and we are done....I would love to hear and comments and suggestions that you may have.

I pray all is good with you and your family. Enjoy your week and all the newness of spring all around you.

BLESSINGS AND HUGS,

Jolyn
