Nets You Might Get Caught In

e

Proverbs 12:12 The wicked desireth the net of evil men:

Yesterday we talked about the nets....I know....I mean, what are nets.....they are to catch something right? And normally, whatever is caught won't be happy much longer. So what are some things we can get caught in?

1) Advertisements- The reason we see them everywhere is because they work! Just hearing the sound of the pop and hissing sound when opening a can....don't you suddenly feel like a nice cold coke?

2) Internet- Today it is way to easy to get caught in this world wide web....way to easy we can get a hold of wrong information and land on bad websites.

3) TV- or networks. The TV in itself is not bad.....but the more you sit in front of it you are letting yourself be programed....by who? What are you letting come into your home and heart?

4) Politics- I think us young ladies won't be caught up into this too quickly but there is so much exploiting and lying involved.

5) Conspiracy theories- Though I've never really gotten into them they are SUPER interesting. One thing is sure....the way they say things happened on TV are never 100% true. What REALLY happened with the Twin Towers....it probably was an inside job....but we will never really know and it will not change anything. 

7) Pyramid Schemes- Companies like Amway, Pampered Chef, Tupperware, Thirty-One, Herbal Life.....I am NOT against them. I have many lady friends involved in some of these....and would even do some of them....but they should be treated with caution. They ARE a lot of work and if you are not careful you'll be looking at people around you with $$ signs and be willing to speak to complete strangers about Tupperware....but not Jesus Christ. 

What did you learn about in church yesterday?

Make Your Own Owl Pillow

Today I want to show you how I made the cute owl pillows for the giveaway.

1. Plan & Design your pattern

2. Cut out the body- Pin to secure from moving the pattern

3. Carefully cut out the eye from the pattern & cut out material.

4. Do this with all parts: eye, belly & beak. Pin securely & sew on.

5. Sew on buttons as eyes. Various locations create various expressions. Play around! ☺

6. Pin right-side-in and sew one time around....except....

7. Leave a little hole on the bottom to stuff. When full, fold in seams & sew. Your done!

Please share this tutorial by pinning the first picture! Thank you! ☺

The Game of Life

Thursday...

...was a German holiday.  After I did some classes & had lunch we went on a long walk in nature. The weather was gorgeous and we had fun enjoying the beautiful scenery and taking some fun pictures....you'll see some more soon. ☺

Friday...

...Friends from church offered us their old garden furniture. We gladly took it and decided to sell our furniture because it needed work and we just never get around to it. 

It's a great story actually. I took some pics and put them on site much like Greg's list. I really wanted to sell the furniture quick so I prayed that the Lord would bless the ad. That very day we had 3 offers....the next day it was picked up....the day we go our new furniture.

I mean within a couple of minutes....the one couple picked up the furniture and after they drove away our friends drove into our parking lot to bring the new furniture. God is good!

Later that day we went over to our friends house and played some games....including the Game of Life. In the game one of our friends had SIX kids....and she landed on the field "Send your children to college. Pay $50,000 per child".

Sunday....

....Mother's day was a busy but nice Sunday. Lots of hugs, flowers & laughing.

What were you up to this Weekend?
