A 16th Birthday Ball for a Princess......

It was a beautiful night, twinkling lights, pretty girls were all dressed up dancing, dancing, dancing.....It was Libby's birthday wish...a ball in our backyard....They braved the cold, one and all, family and friends and came ready for a night of food, dancing, fun and a country ball!
Kricket and Lara came and played live music...it was beautiful...oh if everyone could have heard....and Lisa came to call the dances to make our girl's night so special...which it did...Thank-you ladies!.....Their servant hearts touched ours as we now relive the night through our pictures and memory....as Mrs. Bennet says "God has been very good indeed....

We started off the night with food and some dancing...then let the musicians and caller get a break away form the cold and their numb fingers and faces..... we played a pride and prejudice "do you know that line game"...and "how well do you know Libby" game...We had a ton of laughs and I could scarcely take it all in....It was so beautiful...exactly what we would want for our beautiful girl turning 16......a step back in time for a simplistic way of life...even if for just one night, we stepped back in time...it was well worth all the effort, all the nights stringing lights, all the days making food, all the trips ot the store to buy another thing forgotten. The thought of the 16th birthday gift...Grandma's wedding ring restored, an heirloom....the prayers made for that night and every day of her life...the tears of grateful parents, the well wishes of family and friends, the joy of the Lord evident in every day we have her....yes, God has been very good to us.....indeed.....~smile~


The festivities are over and the next year is coming, but we have the memory of time well spent...you only turn 16 once and thoughts filled our minds......Are we preparing her for life away from home...have we prayed enough? taught enough? cared enough? loved enough? said it enough? will she leave with what she needs to brave this world?....well..that we don't know..but we do know that God is faithful to finish what he starts and Libby, God isn't finished with you yet and I for one love the process! Your daddy and I have enjoyed every minute of your growth...Thank-you God for the tremendous blessing of allowing us to raise Elizabeth Faith Neu..Thank-you for allowing her to be a young woman that follows after you...We are the ones that got the best gift that night...you!!...Happy Birthday Libby...we love you!!!

stepping out of my box into a frame?

I had some creative juices flowing and I saw this picture in Pottery Barn that I had cut out years ago....I thought...hey, I can do that, so several trips to the thrift store and Lowes for molding and spray paint..I saw my wall come to life.... and I felt a little framey....and well...it was fun and it's different... and I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried something new for the new year...

School is back in swing, resolutions are being made and broke and made again...and it is wonderful that our comfort comes from knowing that God is for us and when are in our weakest state, He is strong..... What comfort to know that I can put my hope and trust in CHRIST ALONE!!

I am looking forward to a year of falling in love with my savior! Happiest of years to you dear friends and may God meet us at every turn and keep our hearts and minds focused on Him....

Have a wonderful week :)
