Finally... some pictures from Tammy's wedding this summer

Here are some pictures from Tammy & Keith's Wedding this Summer. It was one of the most beautiful and fun weddings I have ever been in and been to.

My wedding gift to them was to make the bouquets. It was so much fun to pick the flowers and design the bouquets, especially with the help of some of my best friends! The Lord really blessed: the flowers for Tammy's bouquet were exactly what I was expecting but our "mini" calla's were about 3 times bigger than I was expecting. We tried for a whole day to figure out what was to arrange the flowers and all that came out was a bouquet that looked like a "lolly-pop." We decided to go to bed for the night and just pray about what to do. The next morning Chantee and I started arranging them according to what we were impressed would look good, and can you believe it, we did the same exact arrangement!! We were so excited and they turned out so well.

It was my 4th wedding to do the bouquets and it gets more fun each and every time. So... here are a few of the pictures.

Tammy's Bouquet... I was so happy with how it turned out!

It's been awhile!!

Things are soo busy!!! I only have a min but here's a short update on what's been going on...

GYC went just amazingly, the Lord really blessed in tremendous ways. We had about 3,600 people during the week and 5,400 on Sabbath!!

Now we're getting ready for Christian Berdahl to come up as well as continuing our "Lunch & Learn" Seminars that we have every other week.

We also finished my dad's study and did some remodeling in the furnace room. That was so much fun and I learned a lot!!

Not many pictures lately... esp since my camera is broken but here's a couple...

This is a picture of the booth that we had at GYC.
It was a bit hard to work for GYC and have a booth but the Lord really blessed.

GOD IS SOO AMAZING!!!!

PRAISE THE LORD!!! A Family we've been studying and laboring with quite a bit just made a HUGE decision to follow the Lord in a specific way!!!

This is such an incredible blessing!!!!

Happy Sabbath ~

Just wanted to wish everyone a very blessed and Happy Sabbath!! :)

"Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it." Exodus 20:8-11

"If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it." Isaiah 58:13, 14

The Lord is oh so very good!!!

Isn't He amazing?? :)

Today, other than being quite sick and in bed almost the whole time since yesterday, the Lord showed us His love in a special way. We all know that the Lord watches over us and provides for us, yet sometimes He allows certain things to happen to impress that in a very real and tangible way.

Today we got an envelope in the mail. It was addressed to Mr & Mrs. Tim and Pam McKinley, in what looked like childrens hand-writting. There was no return address and where it was sent from could not be made out.

My dad opened the envelope like he would any other envelope, little did he know that such a simple package could contain something quite valuable.

As he opened the cute little card his eyes got huge. Noticing his expression I walked over as he fingered through the money that was in the card. It was simply signed: "I love you, Jesus"

What a surprise it was!! My mom was so surprised that she didn't believe us at first. Oh, how grateful we are to whomever it was and to the Lord for the gift that we received.

May we all be used to be a continual blessing to others as we are continually blessed by our ever loving heavenly Father.

I can't believe it!!!

I'M SICK!!!!! And I can't think of a worse time either. With 25 people coming over for Thanksgiving and a ton of cooking to do!!! Anyways, the Lord knows... at least I'm getting lots of rest time.
