Double D Ranch

So, I stole a few pictures of my moms little cottage on their ranch. It is a one room cottage. VERY CUTE! My mom is the queen of decorating in my family. She is very talented and she is the one that taught me the lil I know.

This a a cute picture frame my mom has up on the window seal above the sink. And with a old family photo of us. :)

The DD ranch brand shower curtain.

Her fabulous pillows on her bed. Cowgirls and Lace style. My FAVORITE!

Their awesome cedar bed. Isn't it goregous! :)

Since the house is small and is a one room, there are no closets. Mom and dad bought this as a closet. She found greenary around the ranch and used it as decor.

This is one of my favorite pieces of furniture my mom has....


The little sitting living area. My mom and dad went and drove around the ranch and looked for a cute little cedar tree to use as a christmas tree. Sorry its kinda dark, it was really bright out.

I love those Christmas trees. She found them at Hobby Lobby.

I love these deer. They are old but definately goodies! :)

My mom had this china cabinet custom bult. I LOVE IT!

Okay, this is cool. Those trays are some my mom has collected over the years.

A cute little bird plug in.

Bird house right outside the window.

I hope you guys enjoyed!

I just wanted to share alittle scripture with you guys. This is what the Lord shared with me today.

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31

Holidays 2009

WOW! What a month December was! Things have been so crazy around my house. Sam and I are finally back to our normal routine. The Lord really had to slap me in the face and show me his ways these last couple of months. OH What a mighty God we serve. His plans for us are greater than we know. The Lord showed me this verse during the Christmas season. I am holding on to it tight!

John 16:33 "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." - What a reason to celebrate the Lords Birthday for coming and giving Peace on Earth!

These pictures below are all kinda mixed up but I wanted to share them with you guys. Sorry they are so mixed up. Some of these are from Thanksgiving and Christmas. I hope you enjoy!

Happy New Year! 2010! Its a NEW start! Out with the old in with the NEW! The Lord is gonna do great things this year!

Give Thanks

This year I have decided to take Thanksgiving a little more serious and really reflect on BEING THANKFUL. Have you ever just sat down and thought about all we have here in America. Girls we live a DIVA life! Those of us who have a home, a nice warm bed with nice sheets, and food on the table , and a car we can just jump in and go where ever we need to go, a job , and the list goes on and on! What a MIGHTY God we serve! A God who loves us and provides for us and blesses us when we don't deserve it at all! The salvation in his name! These are just some things that the Holy Spirit spoke to me in these last few days.

He Loves us Oh, How he loves us so.....

So here are things I am THANKFUL for-

My Salvation in the Lord. Thankful he died on that cross for all of us!
My sweet Husband

My family - esp.. having wonderful parents

My church and their liberty in the Lord

My home and everything in it

My car

My little Texas coast town

My cool in laws

My job- I get to help people decorate their homes

My health

But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:57

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

So this weekend we are headed to my parents house then off to the ranch! I am really excited we haven't been able to head up to the ranch in a while. I just love family time at the ranch. Everyone is going to be there too!

Things I love about the ranch:

• The rolling hills
• The Animals/ The Wildlife
• The little cottage house
• The campfires
• Cooking outside
• Watching the deer come up to the feeders from the house
• The rocky roads
• Sitting on the porch at night talking with family
• Watch the night skies and stars
• Going for a road up to the top of the hills
• The changing trees this time of year
• Everyone having to stay in close quarters
• Admiring Gods creation
• Its really chilli this time of year too ( I am from South Texas, I love the cold!)
• Bird Watching

Give Thanks to the Lord!

Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name. 1 Chronicles 29:13

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. Psalm100:4

God's Word Comes Alive

I want to see Beth Moore live!!!! I love her studies, she really helps bring Gods word alive!

One thing she said on this little video was this-

"We've got to change our hearts to change the way we feel, because we can NOT indifferently do the right thing. We have to come to the right place were we feel the RIGHt thing. "

"Nothing compares to God NOTHING! We were created for this adventure!"

AMEN!!

Has anyone seen her? Tell me what your thoughts!

Happy Friday!
