The Old Rock Church

Oh, how I love Texas- Oh, how I love TEXAS!!

Just wanted to shed some light on a must-see historical site in Cransfills Gap, Texas. The Old Rock Church, also known as, St. Olaf's Church, was erected back in 1886 and has been restored and preserved with all of its original craftsmanship on display. It is still used today for special services, such as Easter and Christmas Eve, as well as weddings.

We recently visited and truly enjoyed seeing this "blast from the past".

 

So, PLEASE, go check out the website at: http://rockchurch-gap.com/

After all, its a beautiful piece of history that is located in the middle of an amazing setting. Well worth the drive and you can easily check out some quaint and cute old Texas towns. (Shout out to my hometown, Hico, TX, which is close enough to the Old Rock Church that you can stop and eat pie at the Koffee Kup and get chocolates from Wiseman's House). 

Many Blessings!

In the Morning

Good Morning!! 

My mom shared with me this verse, "In the morning, oh Lord, You hear my voice; in the morning I lay my request before you and wait in expectation" Psalm 5:3, while we were on vacation. She had mentioned that she'd like to have a sign or a reminder of this verse to see every morning. Thus, I attempted to practice lettering (although I enjoy it, it is not my strong-suit). 

BUT- Oh, how I needed this reminder this morning, as I was seeking the Lord, I was reminded how God HEARS my voice, always, but specifically this morning. 

May you remember His promise to listen and your responsibility to wait in expectation of His response. 

Many Blessings!

Colorado Pictures to Recreate

We recently returned from a fun family vacation in Colorado! Although, I could go on and on about all the fun things we did (like, hunting, fishing, eating), but I won't. I'll just share these memorable pictures that YOU can recreate with your family regardless of where you go this summer.

1st- The Gross-Out Kiss
Self explanatory- the boys are not amused by our PDA. :)

2nd- All out, lay out

-Who doesn't like a good family selfie?

 

3rd- Kick me and RUN

Okay, maybe you shouldn't recreate this one BUT you could take a sweet picture of your child, go on a picnic and take a picture a of wild bear, and then have your brother put the to together in such a perfect way that your child's personality is displayed all throughout! 

Many Blessings! 

Tie-dye Blanket

What do you do with 15 tie dye t-shirts your husband used to have to wear to work?
-Don't worry, they were going for a themed thing at his Volkswagen dealership- not a hypodelic pizza place vibe.
Well, I couldn't just throw them all away, and I couldn't just give them all away. After all, everyone gave him a hard enough time about wearing them in public, I couldn't allow him to forget such fond memories.
So what did I do? Made a tie dye blanket! Better yet, I made it and gave it to him as part of his Father's Day gift (yes, he is a lucky man!). :)
All joking aside, I love the bright colors and the fact that we can use this for picnics and outings with the family. Plus, its a memory that our family will share, the fact that dad had to wear pink tie dye to make an honest living.
Blessings!

Fancy Coffee- Global Peace Factory

This is not a paid endorsement.... although if they paid me with coffee I'd talk all day! :)

Just wanted to share my new favorite coffee joint! Global Peace Factory sure makes some good coffee and a portion of their proceeds goes towards good things in the community (like local charity).
If you are ever in the area of Frisco, kinda between IKEA and on the way to Nebraska Furniture Mart, turn down Legacy and come visit this place.
I walked in clueless as to what I should expect and then the friendly barista was able to point me to some of their more famous coffee items, such as the amazing BROWN SUGAR LATTE. Yes, it is a big deal, this latte tastes great and is refreshingly something different than the routine at Starbucks (no offense to the green lady, she has energized me countless times). But boy, oh boy, the Brown Sugar Latte is amazing, as is their other drinks.
Hope this inspires you to try something new if you live in the DFW area, and if not, hopefully you are encouraged the eat local!

Blessings!
