a long time away...


I have been away for a long while. So much has been happening! It hasn't been bad things or circumstances, but a time of tremendous growth and stretching.

My husband and I are entering our last 10 weeks of ministry school! We have been ministering a lot and enjoying all that the Lord has been teaching us in this season! We are so blessed to have the mentors and teachers in our lives.

We have been on break for 2 weeks, and I have been diligently cleaning and organizing our home. Some things have had to be put aside as we have pursued the call that God has for the two of us.

I brought out my plastic bin of Autumn decor and started in last weekend. Just adding and deleting things from the tablescapes bring such a freshness to our home. Made a trip to the Dollar store for a few things and came home with such a creative spurt that I felt I needed to act upon it while I had the energy and also the time! The homestead looks lovely and quite cozy...reading for the cool evenings that are soon to come.

I am also thrilled to let you know that Our daughter Amie was married and Our on Ryan and our dear daughter in law are expecting their 2nd child!! What a blessing!!! God is so faithful and He continues to show Himself strong not only to us but our children as well!

What are you doing to fluff your nest for the Autumn season? Please share if you'd like!! I love sharing ideas with others and capturing ideas as well to use in my home.

I hope to share so pictures of my home welcoming the Autumn season. Till I see you again...blessings to you and yours always....

Oh, there you are! I've missed you and your cheery words. :) Happy for your joys, and hope you'll not be such a stranger.

Love to you!

Hi Mindy! Glad to see you back. I haven't decorated for fall at all. I've been busy trying to baby my orchid collection, which some have mealy bugs. Ugh!
