So, my sister asked for a picture of the shoes. . . and I could not disappoint.

Rockin', huh? $12.99! I'm not sure when I'll be brave enough to wear them - outside of the Women of Excellence Conference in late February (with an animal print theme). The Crowder women are not known for drawing attention to ourselves, and those don't exactly blend in to a room.

In other news, we're watching Potty Time with Bear and the Big Blue House right now.  Maybe The Hubs will learn something - just kidding!  He's been trained for a while now.

I thought I would share the why's of what made me decide to start a blog.  I tend to internalize most things, holding in feelings and frustrations. I have no trouble expressing myself when I write though. I also enjoy reading other people's blogs and am surprised how often the Lord speaks to me through their posts.  One of my requests of the Lord for this year is to grow in my personal ministry.  I'm hoping that I will grow as I'm challenged to share the good and the bad - and that I will be able to encourage one of my sisters/friends as they read.  Or, it will be just plain fun to post pictures and try to make myself laugh every now and then.  So, you can read along or not  - and maybe we'll learn some things about ourselves on the way.

Closing out the year 2024

New Year's Eve. . . the end of a year that makes you reflect back on the last 365 days. Most of us are looking forward to the new year and some of us are looking back and wondering where it went! What happened to 2024?! What do we even have to show for it but some bumps and bruises? It's been a wild ride, ya'll!  But reflection is a good thing, right? Taking time to skim over the year and look for highlights and lowlights and facing the disappointments and celebrating the achievements - these are important things to do. So what were some of my wins and losses? What a great year! Celebrated 1 year of working for the church Traveled internationally with hubby several times Started year 2 of our ministry school Got a dog (a BIG dog) Graduated a kid from Bible School Started a kid at a private school (step of faith) What a tough year! Experienced a flood of sorts at the church (broken pipe) Got banned from entering a country Got a dog (a BIG dog) Moved adult kid back home (pare...

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. . .

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I wrote a blog. Posts were few and far between at best. I was working 40+ hours a week at a job. There were 3 children at home with various activities and none were driving so taxiing was my side hustle (unpaid, grueling hours). The Hubs was working 50-60 hours a week pioneering a church and starting a side business. So much has changed since the last post, that I contemplated scrapping it all and starting fresh.  Or should I?   Always a challenge to get all my words out, I hesitate to even write this one. But I will provide a catch-up for history's sake... Kid #1 is graduated and trying to be a grown-up on his own in a different city.  College courses, which are mostly online because of the big 'C', working almost full time and a girlfriend keep him pretty busy, but not too busy to call his mama every few days.  Especially when the bank account is low.  Kid #2 is finishing up his last year of high school and living hi...

Tea for two!

Once upon a time, two ladies prepared for tea.  The smallest of the two played the part of hostess and laid out her fine china. Many lovely delicacies were brought out with the tea. The two ladies were dressed in their finest jewels and had their hair adorned in the most becoming way. Their dainty pink purses hung across their dainty arms. They gathered young babies and fed them with great care.  The babes were cleaned, bathed and put to nap in the cozy beds nearby. The two ladies were having such a grand time that they decided to invite others to join them in their tea.   The gentlemen neighbors were promptly invited to tea, but alas, they had a prior engagement (helping small frogs jump across the road).  Upon returning to their tea, the ladies met an unfortunate circumstance! They were attacked by a flock of angry birds!  The prettiest little lady adamantly declared "there's no angry birds having tea!" When the two ladies were safely seated back at th...
