I have been drafted.

I opened my mouth today. We went to lunch with some fellow members of our church today, and we were discussing the plans to turn the "barn" into the new sanctuary. We are running out of room in our current building, and this body is less than a year old. Glory to God. So, I ask a couple of questions, made a couple of suggestions and the next thing I know I am on the Building Maintenance and Construction Committee. So I show up for the meeting, and I am the only FEMALE among men that ranch and construct. I don't know a crowbar from a pipe wrench, but hey I do know about Faux Finishes and that was good enough for the pastor. Evidently I did ask some good questions and make some good suggestions, because no one escorted me from the meeting, and there was no hair on the floor when it was over.

One of the men did ask about maintaining the grounds around the building. Lord please don't make me mow. And another stated that was taken care of. Thank you Jesus.

So, if you ever join us for services and something isn't quite square, please just ignore it, more than likely it was just me trying to construct. Do you think I'll get a hard hat?

How does this apply to me?

I found this quote on Facebook and I love it. I am wondering now what this quote looks like in a woman of God's life.

What kind of woman of God is one that the enemy is afraid of every morning when she wakes up? And yes the enemy can and should be afraid of us. If he's not, well then, I had better be on my face before God wonder what is wrong with me, that the enemy is not before God trying to get permission to attack me.

I am in the process of doing Beth Moore's study Stepping Up. And through this study and Battlefield of the mind I am hoping and praying that this quote will become a reality in my life.

The Great Hunter

I could not resist. This is my middle child and his first elk hunt. Look at the smile on his face!!! The freezer will be full for awhile. Elk burgers anyone?



This is one of two Elk cows that he shot over the week of hunting in CO.

Brag time

OK, I have to brag on my man. He is so teaching me what it means to take the high road. As many of you may know, he has been playing in our church praise band. He is a drummer by trade, but at this church has had a chance to play bass, which he does by ear.

The band practiced this past Thursday, and the J, who normally plays the drums was unable to attend practice, so Rusty played some. Everyone was awed by his ability to play the drums, (he's only been doing this for about 35 years). Several of the band members wanted Rusty to either take over the job of playing drums, or tell the drummer how to play. Rusty said no to both. He said and I quote " This is not my position, this is J's position, and to tell him how to do this will just upset him, and make him feel unwanted and unworthy and I am not going to be part of that. I am here to play bass, and if and when God chooses then I will play the drums, until then leave it alone."

I am so proud of and humbled by my man. He took the high road!!!

Quick prayer request please

Quick prayer request.

Oldest daughter is having surgery in the morning. They are going to remove a polyp from her cervix, and burn the lining out of her uterus. She is all of 28, but has a very high risk of cancer, from both her bio father and myself, especially breast cancer. The Dr is wanting her off of birth control and with the problems she is having with her periods, this is the first step toward a hysterectomy. This surgery works in about 50% of the time.

Middle son is leaving at 4am to drive 13 hours to Colorado for a hunting trip. They will be there Saturday to Monday driving home 13 hours after camping and hunting.

Thank you so much for your prayers. They are the cushion we walk on through the problem.

In Him,
Sallye

I am over the Moon!!!!

I am over the moon. My youngest child is going to make us grandparents again!!!!

This will be their 3rd blessing. Gbaby T told me it was a girl baby when I ask her what it's name is. I am pushing for Elizabeth Lane...we can call her EL

Please join me in praying for my baby girl and this new blessing. Baby girl is RH negative, and she miscarried between baby one and three. Also she got pregnant while she was on the high powered antibiotics from the Staph infection. God is so good and He gives you just what you need when you need it.
