Sharing our journey.....

My best friend sent this YouTube video via email yesterday and what a neat video! I just had to share with my blog readers! Psalm 148 - 1: Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord from the Heavens, praise Him in the heights above. 2: Praise Him all His angels, praise Him, all His heavenly hosts. 3: Praise Him, sun and moon, praise Him, all you shining stars. 4: Praise Him, you highest heavens and you waters above the skies. 5: Let them praise the name of the Lord, for He commanded and they were created. 6: He set them in place for ever and ever; He gave a decree that will never pass away. 7: Praise the Lord from the earth, you great sea creatures and all ocean depths, 8: lighting and hail, snow and clouds, stormy winds that do His bidding, 9: you mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars, 10: wild animals and all cattle, small creatures and flying birds, 11: kings of the earth and all nations, you princes and all rulers on earth, 12: young men and maidens, old men and children. ...

I'm a huge fan of doing things for a cheaper cost, since we are a family of six on one income. I have yet to try these recipes but I'm looking forward to trying it very soon! It's a little extra work but well worth it I'm sure! I have two really good blogs that I check on almost daily, The Duggar blog and the New Old School blog! Love these blogs and many more! Here are the recipes to make your own laundry soap;  http://duggarsblog.blogspot.com/2011/03/duggar-recipe-liquid-laundry-soap.html and your own dryer sheets; http://www.mynewoldschool.com/2010/07/01/make-your-own-dryer-sheets/ When I make my own, I will make sure to take pictures, and post my thoughts. Can't wait! Blessings and Love, Hollie

As listed below on my Prayer Warriors post about a friend named Vicki who has terminal cancer and only giving a month or so. She is not doing well at all and not sure how much more time she has. Hospice has been helping to keep her comfortable and her family has been doing such an amazing job taking great care of her. Just continue to lift Vicki, her children, grandchildren, family, friends, and the nurses with Hospice. Vicki is a fighter for sure! She loves life, her family, her friends and her work so much. Her body is tired. May our Heavenly Father continue to give her peace, comfort and complete healing. May we understand God's great will for this and thank Him for restoration that has taken place within the last 6 months for this family. Lord, continue to wrap Your loving arms around this family. They are so very dear to our family! Amen Blessings and Love, Hollie

Update on my mother. Her visit with the Specialist yesterday went very well. There was no need for surgery (praise God) and was able to set the bones in place and cast it. There was allot of bruising and soreness, as to be expected. Praising God for His continued protection, peace and healing on behalf of His daughter/my mother! She's doing well and expecting a full recovery in about 6 weeks. Thank you all for your daily prayers, they were felt! Blessings and Love, Hollie

I visited one of my favorite blogs yesterday and they posted their names and what they meant. I thought it was a neat idea, never really looked up the meaning of each of us before. Just went with our favorite name at the time. Robert : Bright Fame Origin : English Hollie : Bush with Red Berries Origin : English Our 1st : Ones Fate Origin : French Our 2nd : Who Is Like God Origin : American Our 3rd : Daughter of the Ruler Origin : Irish Our 4th : God Judges Origin : Hebrew Blackwell : English: habitational name from any of various places, for example in Cumbria, Derbyshire, County Durham, Warwickshire, and Worcestershire, named Blackwell, from Old English blæc ‘black’, ‘dark’ + wæll(a) , well(a) ‘spring’, ‘stream’.

Please continue to pray for my mother. Early last week (Tuesday) she broke her ankle. She has an appointment with the Specialist tomorrow at 12:30ish. Praying it's not going to be anything major! Lord, thank You for caring for her and giving her good doctors. You are always looking out for our best and we couldn't be more blessed! Blessings and Love, Hollie

Please pray for my mother, today and the days to come. She broke her ankle on Tuesday morning and is awaiting a phone call from the Specialist. She's in allot of pain and hardly has anyone to help her at home. I leave 45 minutes to an hour away and so it's hard for me to be there to help. Times like these I wished my extended family lived closer so I could help in any way! I will do my best to keep you updated. Thanks again for praying for her! God bless! Blessings and Love, Hollie
