Christmas

I can finally say,  I am finally done with Christmas shopping.  I even bought a few extra gifts.  Got them all wrapped and under the tree.  Even got my gift for the White Elephant party at church!  Yay for me!   So now I can go shopping with my sister this weekend and not need to get anything, but probably will get some more stuff...lol!  Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

As Christmas is approaching fast, I have been very busy at work!  First of all had to get the tree and decorations up so I could get in the Christmas spirt!

Now the Christmas season has officially begun for me.  Lots of shopping , partys and my favorite the music!    I really enjoyed going to "Deck The Walls at our church and have included a few of my favorite photos.

This is Sister Tonya, she's fallen and can't get up or maybe doesn't want to get up?  The next photo is of my pastor and I just don't know what it is with the floor and the Pankeys but, they seem to enjoy it!

All in all it was a fun night and really enjoyed spending time with all the nice people and helping out with decorationg! Christmas would not be Christmas without baby Jesus!

It has been a busy, busy season, but I really love it!  The last picture i'm including is and updated one of my tree.  Hope all is well and everyone has a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

And not one of those presents are mine, but Jerry and kids are gone shopping for me now.  Thats why I had some free time to update my blog.

God is sooo good to me.  I had a big surprise in September.  At first I was very upset and didn't see how I could get through it.  Here is almost four months later and after much prayer and prayer and support from the few friends that knew I look at the situation in a different manner.  The big surprise is Brittany is going to have a baby in June.  I didn't really want to tell a whole lot of people until she was further alone and not at such a high risk for miscarriage.   So I am including the first picture of my first grandchild, yes I'm going to be a Grandma!

Brittany and baby are fine.  She goes back to doctor on December 21st.  We may find out if she is having a boy or girl.  We are all wanting a girl.  She has picked out names if a girl , Ariana Marie and if a boy, Christian Lane.  The Marie after me and the Lane after her brother and papaw(my dad)! 

God is still God!  If you are on the mountain or down in the valley....God is still God!  It's has been rough the last two months, but me making it through says...."I'm not giving up"! 

I am really looking forward to the fall fest this Saturday!  Always alot of fun and I really enjoy the food...lol!

I will try to update more than I have been.

I have really been in the valley lately, but God is helping me through it.   I don't know why certain things happen , but God does and I know he has a plan for me and for my family.  God is great and I can't give up on him just because bad things happens or maybe not even bad things just misstakes!  I have come to understand that everyone makes misstakes ...I believe it is how we fix it or react to it will determine the outcome.  God is a forgiving God! 

Prayer is needed in my home!

Sorry haven't updated in awhile.   Revival was awesome!  I think it was rather remarkable how Phil was suppose to be doing the revival and we ended up getting a guest speaker two nights (or should I say a fedex man delivering a package).  God just really open up our eyes in Marion to let us now our explosion is here!   God is great and greatly to be praise!   God has already open doors in my life.  Now my prayer is to open up the eyes of my heart and let me do what God has for me and might I say I know it's something good!  Has to be coming from Him!  Be back soon with some more great news!

God is great!  Had a wonderful time at church this morning and also tonight!  Bro Phil really hit the nail on the head tonight for me.  I have been praying for alot of things in my personal walk, for familly and for my home.  God reveal to me tonight thru Phil that I am about to get my reward.   I am going to see things that I have prayed for to come true.  I am going to see my home come together and serve God and that it is going to be in a way that I never have seen before.  I feel renewed and refreshed.  God has something great for me, just will have to wait and see what it is!  I love the Lord and never wanna give up!

Love,

~Karen~

This is my cousin Phil (praying for the food).  He starts revival tomorrow September 20th at the Marion Church of God! 

I have really been looking forward to this revival.  Praying for God to show up and show out!  Now I am sick again, so I guess I'm going to have to fight for my blessing, because I need this revival!  I see God doing some wonderful things for us at the Marion Church of God.  I am going to have to speak to the not yet til the not yet becomes the "NOW"!  I look forward to posting some good things about the revival .

Family Reunion

We recently went to The Taylor Family Reunion (Which is Jerry's Moms Family)

This is Jerry's Cousin Louise and

Aunt Virgina.

Lets Just say I didn't realize that he had sooo much talent in his family!

This little boy here is blind and can sing and play

the keyboard!

Brittany kept herself busy with the horses and Llama!

Bradley didn't really want to go,but enjoyed  time with his dad, cousins and all the great food!

We all ended up enjoying spending time with family!

All in all it was a great get away day!  I enjoyed getting to meet all the christians in Jerry's family that I haven't got a chance to meet and socialize with before!  Lets see there is a preacher , christian artist, singers, keyboard player and several people who can play the guitar.  To tell you the truth he has alot of talent in his family.  I just wished they lived closer to us and we could get together more.
