February's verse on 365 Project

This verse has been near to me in recent months so I figured it was time to really engrave it into my heart.

his word her heart

And congratulations to Beth who will be receiving a snazzy memory verse pouch. I’ll let you know when I get some posted in the shop.

What’s your verse for February?

Seven in Shades of Red

by gidget on January 28, 2010

in fun

I was tagged by my friend Linda for this fun post. The instructions were to showcase 7 photos showing red around the home. {Side note: you can be pray for Linda’s family, too, as they wait to adopt as well!}
These photos can be enlarged by clicking.

1. our Netflix “streaming disc” that lets us watch instant movies/t.v. shows through our PS3. We love this (when our crappy internet allows it to work).
2. these are actually salt ‘n’ pepper shakers that were our wedding cake toppers!
3. my apron.
4. our spacey, dorm-like microwave that our landlords let us use. It’s very small and not very powerful, but cool and red. Oh, and my favorite tea right now, TJ’s “Ruby Red Chai.”
5. just a glimpse of our bobble-head collection (most of the collection is more the color of Dodger Blue)- guess we should take them out of the box- and David’s international Mt. Dew collection.
6. a kitty that my grandma made (she sits on my headboard, that my grandpa made).
7. my collection/stash of reddish fabrics.

My turn to tag 7- but if anyone else would like to play, please come back and leave a comment with your link to your red showcase!
How about mom, bro/sis, sis, erika, emma, beth/david and rena?
Any takers?

p.s. speaking of red, my mom and I are taking part in this project for the Orphan Foundation… it’s not too late to join in!

All I Want For My Birthday is Our Baby

by gidget adoption

I’ve been updating and adding to my wish list lately. Because soon, I’ll be 29 (A couple of months ago, I honestly had to stop and think whether I was turning 30 this year or not. It took a minute to remember I wasn’t. One more year in my 20s!).
I think having a winter birthday [...]

His Word in My Heart: January 2010

by gidget faith

I like to start the year with something that sort of lays a foundation. Last year I picked Joshua 1:8.
I was thinking about faith, as our pastor spoke about it last week, and I was taken back to something God did through a few moms.  They followed His lead and started Project 320, something that [...]

by gidget go green!

I’m always looking for ways to incorporate Eastern & Western medicine into my family’s health practices (that’s why I love my naturopathic doctor I’ll be seeing now as my primary doc). Since my family opted against any kind of flu shot this year, we were especially interested in what kind of herbal/natural remedies we could [...]
