Hello all,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So sorry for the long blogging post delay. I am back home in NC at my sister's place. My family went home to NC for Christmas the Saturday before Christmas and we had plans for staying the whole week and leaving the next Sunday. Well other plans decided to happen. We did get to stay all week! Dad went home on Sunday to get back to work. Me though? Well out of all times early this past Saturday morning I got a really bad cough and it would not stop. I thought it was allergies and went to walmart and got some meds. Well as the day went on I kept getting worse and more sick. I decided their was no way I could make the long ride home to TN the next day. So me and Mom stayed here. I decided to go to the doctor on Sunday. My fever spiked as high as 103!! They did chest x-rays and a flu test and yeap I tested postive for the flu :( So I am being treated for the flu plus meds for pneumonia so if I did have that it would treat it. What a long weekend it has been. My mom now has a fever and feeling sick. Please be in prayer for us? Thank you so much!!</div>

Big story breaking tonight with Duck Dynasty. Just Google it and you will find out why. I have watched the show a couple times and had a few good laughs. What I admire most is the Christian beliefs they hold and ending each show with a prayer. So tonight they have took Phil off the show due to his beliefs he spoke in a magazine. One question I always have? Why is it that everybody else in the world can voice their opinions but when Christians voice theirs we all get bashed,name called,haters,bigots and other words thrown at us. Why can't we Christians never voice anything? Why can everybody else always voice and not get nothing said? I just don't understand it!! It upsets me so much. Just because I don't believe in Gay lifestyles that does not make me a bigot or I'm Judging others. I am simply stating what I believe to be God's words. If God wanted 2 of the same sex together he would have made it so they could come together as 1. No he made it to where only Man and Woman can come together. Only Man and Woman can produce children. Those things along should tell you that it is against nature and God for two of the same sex to be together. So I commend people like Phil who stand for their convictions!!</div>

I put a little Christmas background on the blog. I was feeling in the mood :) I have been blogging since 2007 and I use to really decorate it all up. I had music and everything. I enjoy blogging so much more then Facebook. A lot of bloggers have switched to just keeping up on facebook. I wish some would come back to blogging. I enjoyed so many blogs. Blogging you can find such interesting things and ideas. Facebook sometimes is just a brag book or drama book..lol :) By the way I also have it set up now on here to where I am replying to your comments under each comment you leave on here. I really enjoy hearing from you all. I promise I am going to start posting more. I hope everyone is having a blessed week!!</div>

Hello all,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So sorry for not waiting lately. I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!! Right before we were suppose to go home to NC,a winter storm was blowing through. It was also going to be right in the path of the road we took through the mountains to get home. So after watching all the weather we decided we didn't want to risk going down the mountains in snowy and icy weather. So we thought we were not going. The day we are suppose to leave though all the reports were saying the roads were pretty clear and it would be ok. So we took the chance and left Wednesday around lunch and we made it home for Thanksgiving!!! We ran into some snow and slick roads around the mountains in some parts. Other than that we made it just fine. We were able to spend Thanksgiving with my sister and meet up with a bunch of family at different times. My sister lives in the same complex and Grandpa and Uncle live in. So we were all in the same area..lol :) It was so good to see everybody and home!! We made it home last night after all day on the road. It took us longer than usual because of so much holiday traffic and traffic Jams due to road constructions. We were at the last exit before our exit on the hwy and we hit another Jam and were stuck for awhile. We were like 2 minutes away and were like we were almost there..lol..finally we hit out exit and I said Amen!!! I don't like traveling in a car so long.</div>

I recently got the chance to review this new book out "Country Faith". It was a nice simple little read. Filled with tons of popular country singers and I notice some gospel singers in there as well. Each page has a nice colorful picture of the person with the page going with it about their favorite bible verse. They explain why it is their favorite verse and the story behind it. If you are a country music fan or just want something simple to read than this is the book for you. It would also make a great gift for someone who loves country music. It was nice little read with tons of great bible verses from the music stars who favor them. Not a devotion book,it's just a simple reflections book that can be read in a day.</div>

So this past weekend I went and brought my Christmas tree out of storage. I have my own one I put in my room. What a time it has been this year. The lights were working and so on the tree they go. Some of them went out and I didn't like it. So down with the whole tree. So I check lights on another set. I put on some Christmas music and everything is beautiful. I am about to put up my last few ornaments and yep, "out they go". So yep down it all comes again. I was beginning to think,I am finish with it this year,lol,"forget it". So finally I just buy some brand new lights and lo and behold it stayed on so far everything is finished on the tree!!!! I know it's early but I love Christmas!!!!</div>

I am always fascinated by the Amish culture. A couple years ago I watched as the news of a school shooting in their Amish community rocked their quiet world. It wasn't just a random person on the street. It was a neighbor, a man,father and husband who did this horrible act. I got to recently read this book "One light still shines" by his wife. She was just as surprised as everyone else. A christian normal family. Marie the wife of the killer tells a story in her own words. It's not about every little detail of their lives and every little thing that happened. It's a story about her faith in God and how he brought her through this hard time in her life. It's about how Christ brought her through and even in the mist of pain and sorrow that one light does still shine and it is God! I was encouraged by the faith she had and courage to keep going after this. A great book for anyone to learn that God does still shine even in the darkest hour.</div>

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tTda5Sr7_Aw/Unf4MeysqzI/AAAAAAAADtM/FfkZ6tPo2-I/s1600/download.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tTda5Sr7_Aw/Unf4MeysqzI/AAAAAAAADtM/FfkZ6tPo2-I/s320/download.jpg" width="201" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><u>About the book: </u></b>Working hard to develop a new Amish community outside of Unity, Maine, Rhoda Byler is fully committed to rehabilitating an orchard with business partner Samuel King. But an impulsive decision has created an unexpected strain in her relationship with her beau, Samuel’s brother, Jacob, threatening plans for the orchard. Amidst mounting tension in matters of the heart and business, Rhoda finds that this fledging settlement feels like the home she has always longed for, and she begins to embrace the God-given, heightened intuition that has always felt like a burden to her. She longs for Jacob to fully be free of his past, so they can work towards the future together. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">But as Rhoda uses her gift to unpack an old secret with her Englisch neighbors, it is not her beau but an unlikely ally that cheers her on. With the orchard on shaky ground and Jacob’s plans in question, Rhoda is determined to see things through to harvest. But can she trust her insight to direct her path in matters of the heart?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My Thoughts: I was so excited to read book 3 in this series. I have really gotten into this series and can't wait to see what happens. It leaves me waiting to see what will happen. In this book we got everybody still at the farm working hard to try make the orchard a </span>success<span style="font-family: inherit;"> We learn more about Camilla and Bob. We learn more about what happen to Jacob with his troubles in the English world. We meet Iva who comes to work at the farm. We see a lot of stuff working up to everything in book 3. I love the characters and the storyline. It's full of twist and turns and surprises. Plus it does not end here I found out book 4 will soon come out. You can't read this as a stand alone book. You must read all of them to know where you are at. </span><br />

<b style="font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"><u>About the book:</u></b><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px; text-align: center;">In our instantly connected world, it’s surprisingly easy to lose our connection to God. This devotional taps Amish wisdom in order to help us draw closer to God and hear his voice. In The One Year® Book of Amish Peace, you’ll get a daily taste of Amish values and wisdom. Tricia Goyer shares her fascination with the Amish in a way that will inspire and encourage believers to carve out more time in each day to listen to God and experience his presence. This daily devotional contains interesting facts about the Amish, recipes, and information about the way the Amish handle money, rear their children, and center their lives on faith in God. You’ll be inspired to slow down and find ways to simplify so that you, too, can experience God in the ordinary.</span><br />
<br />
<b><u>My Thoughts:</u></b> If you know me,you know I love Amish fiction books. So I was super excited to get Tricia's devotion book "The one year book of Amish peace". It incorporated one of my favorite subjects to read into a day by day devotion. One each page is a story/devotion,bible verse,prayer to pray and neat facts or quotes on the side. I loved this book. Plus it included a few recipes which I loved as well. It is such a great and different devotion book. It makes me want to pick it up and read. It keeps me interested because it's based with Amish life and I love that. Full of 365 days of insight. If you love the Amish,this is the book for you!!<br />

<strong><u>About the book:</u></strong> Book one in the Plain City Peace series.<br />
It's 1971, and Betsie Troyer's peaceful and predictable life is about to become anything but. When their parents flee the Amish, nineteen-year-old Betsie and her seventeen-year-old sister Sadie are distraught. Under the dubious guidance of a doting aunt, the girls struggle to keep the secret, praying their parents will return before anyone learns the truth-a truth that may end all hopes of Betsie's marriage to Charley Yoder.</div>

<u><b>My Review: </b></u>I really enjoyed this book! It gradually brought me in and I ended up really into the characters and storylines. I like how it just didn't stay in the Amish world. It went into the English world in the middle of the Vietnam war. It touched on many different subjects from that time period such as,war,hippies,peace and depression that many faced coming back from war and fighting during peace rallies right here in our own country. I am really hoping that two of the main characters (don't want to ruin storyline) get together. They are made for each other. I think one may sense it. I loved the revival part. It was a well described part and made you feel you were right there under the tent. The book kept me reading til the end and waiting for book 2 too come out. I am really excited as to where the story goes and what happens.</div>

I just got to read and review "A home for my heart" by Anne Mateer. I love historical fiction the best. This story takes place in the 1910. Sadie is assistant to the head matron of the orphanage where she grew up. As the head matron leaves and marries. The job goes to Sadie who now is in charge of the home and must strive to keep it open and keep funds going for the expenses. Blaine is the man she dreamed of marrying,but at the same time she becomes matron,he has bought his own farm. Plus she can't be married being a matron. Full of wonderful characters in this story. Some things didn't go as I thought they were going. It all lead up to a wonderful lesson to learn though. Don't try to prove to somebody your worth or that you're someone you are not. The only person you should be concerned about is how God sees you. It also gave such a great example of all the children that are good kids that needs homes. It was a sweet and simple story and I enjoyed it.</div>

This past weekend in Nashville TN they had the TN History Festival. I had been when we first moved to the area. This was my second time and I really enjoyed it. Tons of different things set up. I love seeing history in action and looking at all the things they used back then and the way they dressed! I love the dresses the ladies wore. I just think the dresses are beautiful. The event was held at Bicentennial Mall State Park. It's a beautiful park that overlooks the state capital in downtown. I went picture happy as usual. So this post has a lot of pictures. I hope you don't mind!!</div>

All through it I kept thinking this seems so real. I thought they were doing a really good job at creating one.

They have many different flavors to choose from. Chicken Quesadillas or Enchiladas or Beef Burritos. Even the Fajitas mix in a bag. So I choose the Beef Enchiladas as my choice. </span></div>

Here they are right of the oven. It had 6 in the box. It could possibly made into a meal for 3 because the two I ate kinda came together like one big one and filled me up. I always worry that frozen meals are going to taste processed. This surprise me and didn't taste at all processed. It tasted like it had come from a mexican restaurant. We really enjoyed the taste of it. Though it was a little spicy for my taste. I thought it was very good. All in all I would try it again because it is tasty and such a easy and simple meal to just throw in the oven.</div>

Beverly Lewis has always been a favorite Amish author of mine. I just finished reading her latest book "The Secret Keeper". Jenny is from a nice English life but has always felt drawn to a plain lifestyle. She does not connect good with her family or modern stuff. She likes the old way. She has been friends and wrote letters to an Amish friend Marnie. After much thinking Jenny decides to make the change and go Amish. We are taken back to hickory hollow to Rebecca and Samuel Lapp house. You will know them from another series. We are introduced again to some of the characters out of other books. She goes about trying to form herself into the Amish world. A lot of the characters were seeking out things in their life. I loved this book. It was another great one from Beverly. A good read about trying to find peace within you and finding out where your true home is and where you truly belong in life. This book can be read separate from the series. I enjoyed it! </div>

I recently got to review this book "His Treasure" by Sheri Rose Shepherd. I fell in love with the cover. The cover along would make me want to buy it. This a wonderful little book for Women. It is letters of love from God. Including many ranges of topics from when your facing trials or needing comfort or encouragement. Each topic includes a letter from God. It has a treasure of truth quote and bible verse with each one! I really liked this little but big gem of a book. It's refreshing and encouraging to go to and read. Each letter writes to you as if God wrote to you. This would make a great book for any woman of any age to read and treasure!</div>

<strong>About the book:</strong> Rose turned her back on the man she loves after he assisted the Englisch during World War II---only to discover she's an Englischer herself. Born in the midst of the hardships of The Great Depression, Rose grew up in Berlin, Ohio, in the arms of a loving Amish family. But she is overwhelmed by self-doubt when she learns that she was born Englisch and abandoned when her family moved West in search of work. Was she meant to be Amish or would she have been better off growing up with her own <br />
kind---Englischers? When the man she loves leaves her behind, Rose is certain he left for good. Yet Rose discovers sometimes our greatest gifts are the ones we fear.<br />

<b><u>My Review: </u> </b>I just finished reading this book. It made me get in the mood for Christmas at the front of the book with all the cooking going on. I liked this book. It was just a short simple story and I love to read them too. It wasn't dragged out and was kept simple. You could read it in a day or two if wanted. It's also one of the first Amish books where I seen a Amish go to the war. It dealt with the depression era and war. The effects that this all had on families. It was sweet story of a parents love for their child where they gave her a better life. Plus the lesson that no matter if you're alone or with somebody you are always with God! I enjoyed this sweet book!!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I suffer from Ocd/Depression and Anxiety. I recently had the chance to review this book by Linda Solie. One of the things I did like about it is the Christian base of it. I love how God is brought into it and it's a Christian based book. It is filled with tons and tons of great information to help you take control of your thoughts,<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #212121;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">behaviors and feelings. It has things to write down to help you through your thoughts that are negative. She helps you to identify your thoughts and how to turn them into a positive one. I found the book a little confusing and could not understand some of it. It was a lot of information and I finally I just put it down. For some reason I just could not comprehend what was being said. While maybe not my kind of reading. It could very well be of help to someone else who can understand it better then me. Just be ready for lots of information and a clear thought process to understand it. I do applaud the writer for writing a book to help people with this terrible struggle.</span></span></span></span></div>
