Memory Monday, Changing One Heart for Many and an Update

I have a small update on McShane here.


Well, I haven't done a great job keeping up Memory Monday, and I am still not doing exactly what thesimplewife had in mind, BUT I'm doing some scripture memory and letting it reside in my heart, even if I can't quote it word for word. I'm glad I'm still what I can! Here is my contribution to Memory Monday and Mama Beth Moore's Siesta Scripture:

So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded, YOU NEED TO PERSEVERE so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised. Hebrews 10:35-36 NIV



CHANGING ONE HEART FOR MANY: A commitment to pray for God to change the heart of President Obama on the subject of abortion.

Monday is our prayer day and this is the scripture focus for this week.

SCRIPTURE FOCUS

The king's heart is in
the hand of the Lord; He directs it like a watercourse He pleases.

Proverbs 21:1 NIV
Father God, we come in agreement today - many
believers, one voice - to stand for life. We praise You for how You are moving,
using our current circumstances to disturb us into action, and raising up more
and more volunteers in positions that serve to replace pain and devastation with
hope and healing. We ask You to open President Obama's ears to the increased volume of those speaking on behalf of the unborn and help him to see Your handiwork for what it is. We thank You that the events of today are not a surprise to You, and that while our leader's mind might be turned one way, it's in Your ultimate
control.Believing You will change one heart for many, we pray in the MIGHTY,
LIFE-GIVING NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. Amen

(For the record, I know it's Sunday and I'm posting Monday stuff. However, I figure I better post it while I have the time and such.)

“I assure you: If anyone says to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore, I tell you, all the things you pray and ask for—believe that you have received them, and you will have them." Mark 11:23-24 (HCSB)

Siesta ornament exchange

The Siesta Fiesta Ornament Exchange!

Us Siestas got together and did an ornament exchange. Unlike Secret Santa, we knew who drew our names. Lisa and I exchanged information and set about to send each other ornaments! Let me just tell you that Lisa is a very talented photographer! If you love pretty pictures, go look at her blog.

I had this great box waiting for me when I got home. I opened it up and found 2 Santas and a cute little name holder ornament. Not only did I get cute ornaments in a cute box, I got to see a picture of Lisa's brand new grand daughter! CONGRATS LISA and thank you!!

Wow...

I was just looking over my previous posts and except for the precious post about my new grandson (29 is really too young to be a grandmother - work with me here), I have only been a copy/paste blogger of late. Well, I did post the snazzy picture of my husband in his uniform all decked out.

I have so much going on, and yet not much going on. You know what I mean? (A lot of busyness...)

(I love the picture of Santa praying to baby Jesus. I have a beautiful figurine and ornament like this. I think I even have a bell!)

Let me just say that I have done not ONE BIT of Christmas shopping. Do you see that - NO CHRISTMAS shopping has been done at my house! You probably wonder why - well financial is one reason and my girls don't know what they want!!!!!! James said he doesn't want anything (that's what he always says) and I don't know what my mom wants. (We don't buy for extended family anymore. Both of my grandmothers are in their mid-80's and are constantly giving stuff away. Why do they want MORE stuff??) We buy for James' youngest son and his mom (the ex-wife, not James' mom - she died when he was 6). Actually we go to her house for Christmas Eve. She has a big shindig (I typed "sindig" at first - I hope that's not a sign of things to come lol.)

I didn't participate in BooMama's tour of homes because our tree isn't up! The girls were going to decorate it this year (after calling me Scrooge) and yet the half assembled tree has sat since Thanksgiving. Who are the lazy ones now??

I was so happy I got my Secret Santa and my Siesta Fiesta stuff out yesterday. I know I'm late, but I always am...Sorry ladies! Mary, I mailed you a book too! I opted not to send Christmas cards this year. If you're on my facebook friends' list, then I sent you some holiday flair!!

Well, I guess that's all I have for now. I hope all is well with you. Thank you for stopping by!

She needs a little help!

Please go look at Amy Beth's blog and help her out by downloading a toolbar. Deadline is tomorrow and I wanna help a fellow siesta out! (Plus, she might be able to help me with my hair...)
