Another Video Project

Well Y'all, I guess I AM officially hooked on making videos.     What can I say?  Once I get passed hearing my own voice, the video is somewhat tolerable.     hahahahahaha.     Oh well, it's a good thing, or so "they" say.     I don't think the "they's" have ever seen mine yet.   hahaha

A funny little story for y'all.     Yesterday morning I was in the kitchen getting breakfast made before hubby got up.    I love for it to be fresh and hot for him just as soon as he's ready to eat.    Well.....I got the coffee going, had the sausages out of the freezer and ready to cook, and..............(said with head down looking a little sheepish)........yes, folks, I'm just gonna go ahead and say it!     For the shame of it all, "I USE CANNED BISCUITS", most of the time!     There, I said it, and boy do I feel so much better!!!!!!    hahahahahahahaha     Ok, where was I?      Oh yeah, I was getting my baking sheet ready for the biscuits.     They were not the "grands" kind, but they were the large biscuits like them.      I peeled the outer layer away and was getting ready to squeeze the tube to make it pop open and all of the sudden that thing exploded in my hand and made the awfullest loud bang you ever heard and I found myself ducking trying to dodge biscuit shrapnel!!     Mind you, I was the only person up, I started laughing and then all of the sudden, guess what I did!!!!    Go ahead, you will never guess.     Have you made your guess?      Well, I looked all around to see if anyone seen me duck when my biscuit can exploded.     I did!!!!!!    I looked around!!!!!!      Then I realized it was only God and me that seen it, and I feel pretty sure that not only was I laughing, but I really believe He got a kick out of it too!!!!!     I have laughed over that till my sides are sore.    No joke.     Oh well, at least I'm not telling you about having to pick biscuits out of my hair.     hahahahahaha

Ok, now for the video project.     Yes, I am getting hooked!     I enjoy it so much.     This is my second one now, so still be a lot forgiving when you watch it.     What I wanted to show you is how to use some of your scraps to make little gifts to stick in you purse or pocket on the way out and share with someone who checks you out, maybe who does your hair...........just someone that does something for you, you can let them know you appreciate them with a little gift.   I done the same thing last year and I posted pictures on my blog on Nov. 27th, 2013.      So, find that on the right hand side of my blog posts and see how those turned out then and then see how I modified it to be easier this year.     I hope you enjoy this video and would love for you to leave me a message on my blog or in Google+.    

I hope you enjoyed that video.     I hope to be able to bring more to you in the future.     I hope to learn more about videos and making them as time goes along.    I am so thankful for my husband.      He has been helping me to get set up a little better.   It's not anything you will notice from the videos, but it is what I notice and how I can see what I'm doing, and I can see what y'all are seeing as I do it and it helps me keep it in frame a bit better for y'all.     Anyway, we'll see what the future looks like for me and making videos.     I just hope y'all come along for the ride.

As I leave y'all this evening, I leave y'all with a challenge.     The challenge is to read Luke's account of the birth of Christ.    I will be sharing with y'all in a few days my take on what Luke has to say about it.    I wrote what I will be sharing a couple of years ago.    I've been doing a Bible study on the birth of Christ and reading a book I have called "What the Bible is All About", by Henrietta C. Mears and it is a great book with lots of info at your fingertips.    This book was first written in 1953.   The revised edition that I have is the 1983 edition.     Some stuff never goes out of style and that is the case with this book.    All the info is still applicable, simply because the Bible is still applicable to our lives.    Most of the books we read have no direct application to the way we live our lives.     The Bible is the one and only book that we will ever read that can so affect our lives that it can bring about total restoration if we let the radical Words impact us enough to radically change us.    Why do we need total restoration?     Because we are all totally sinners!      Christ is the radical change that we ALL need!      Christ is the radical change "for" ALL!     Not ALL will accept the radical change that Christ offers, although it has been and is freely offered to every human being; past, present and future.     So, I would love for y'all to read the first two chapters of Luke and then we will look at it closer and maybe we can see ourselves in Luke's account of the Birth of Jesus Christ. 

Ladybug, Sweetpea loves you and hopes you are keeping your toes warm!  

Till we meet right back here again in a few days, stay warm y'all!    Remember that God loves y'all and so do I!!!!   hugs, Patty

A Video on My Quilled Card

Good evening y'all!     I hope y'all are cozy, comfy and warm wherever you are.     The sun decides to shine here in my neck of the woods for about 15 minutes today.      It is now almost 5:00pm and it is almost dark outside, just because there was no sunshine.    I am ready for a little myself.    I just know that if I will be patient, it will.     So.....Lord help me to be patient and wait for the sunshine.     But while I wait, please let the "Son" shine in me!!!!!!!!!

The very first post I ever made to my blog back in August of 2013, I mentioned I would like to do videos one day.    I never actually thought I would, but I also thought, "who knows", I may actually do it some day.     Well, with a little encouragement from some friends, I have started trying to do new things.    I am slowly trying to climb out of the box that I have been in, and when I get tired of trying to climb out by myself, these friends will start pulling and pushing, trying to help me along.     (God bless our pushing and pulling friends!!!)     Sometimes we realize that it's ok to be a spectator, but other times we see we want to participate in the fun activities.     So, I have decided to try to participate!     

When you watch this video, please watch with NON-CRITICAL eyes.     This is the first time I have had an inkling to even want to do something like this, and as crude as it is, I am pretty happy with it, remembering it is my first video to post on my blog.      I do hope and pray that you will enjoy watching it.

                           

This was a fun endeavor for me and I hope you liked watching it.    All of the quilling tools and supplies I used can be purchased from Quilled Creations or Hobby Lobby, but I'm not sure about Joann's and Michaels.     Just Google Quilling supplies and you'll find a lot, I'm sure.     I really hope to be able to make more videos.    I hope to be able to make them more appealing as time goes on.    This is just for fun, and I can say I "almost" had fun.     The sixth recording was just about enough to burst my "fun" bubble y'all.    hahahaha

I am gonna let y'all off easy tonight.    I'm just gonna say that God loves y'all more than you could possibly ever know or realize.    Thank Him today for all He has done for you.     One of the women in Sunday School Class a few weeks back said she seen something one time that said something like this:  ""What if you woke up in the morning, only with the things and people in you lives that you thanked God for yesterday?""    Would your world be larger or smaller than it is right now?    Kinda makes you think, doesn't it.    Well, I am thankful to God for my Jesus, my husband and the job that he has, I'm thankful for the health that we have, my family and their jobs and health, my friends and their jobs and health, my church family their jobs and health, all the material blessings that God has bestowed upon my husband and me.    We have all that we need, everything we want, food, clothing, a house and a roof over our heads and the list goes on.   Make your list and thank God for all that's on it!

Ladybug, I hope you have stayed dry today.   Sweetpea loves you lots!

Goodnight Y'all!    God loves y'all and so do I.     hugs and blessings, Patty 

A little Something Special......

Good afternoon Y'all!    It sure is a rainy, stormy day here in my neck of the woods today.   It stormed most of the night.   And kept up all day, so far, and the weather is supposed to be even worse a little later on this evening.  And then we are in for more of the same tomorrow.   I pray for everyone to stay safe.   

I think I may have mentioned to y'all that my Mom got a Kindle here back.   She is really enjoying it.   When my husband and I went up to see her here back, right after she had gotten it, he was looking at it and trying to learn a little bit about it and when he learned something, he would show my Mom.   She's one smart cookie and a quick learner.   If she has an interest it, it doesn't make any difference what it is, she is determined to learn it.  She had taken some pictures with it and I asked her if she had made a video of anything yet.   She said she hadn't figured out how to make a video so my husband was looking at it and she was watching what he was doing.   He finally figured out how to make a video.   

The problem is, I wanted a copy of the video and didn't know how to get it from her Kindle to my lap top.   I had the proper hook up in my purse all along and just didn't realize it.   So, I didn't get the video that day.   We had been up to see her a time or two since then and would forget all about it.   After church yesterday, we ran up to see her for a bit and I got the video.   And with the cords that I have in my purse for my smart phone it worked.   The cord for my phone  fit her Kindle and then it had the basic usb on the other end, with a car adapter.  When hubby got it to my lap top, the whole video was up side down.   How fitting.   When you see it, you'll understand why I said that.  ggg   He worked with it this morning and got it fixed for me.   I hope I can get loaded.

It looks like it's gonna be grainy.   I hope it works.   You want to make sure you have your volume up where you can hear it.   It is hilarious!!!   I call it "The Initiation".   I guess you can call it my 3 seconds of fame.   Who knows what kind of movie future I have, but I really believe I have one!   hahahaha   What do you think?   I hope you enjoy it!   Hey, if you can't have fun, what's the use!   hahaha

As I leave you this evening I leave you with this Holy Scripture:

Psalms 18:2  The lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

I love the descriptive words that David uses to praise God, yet once again.   David spent a lifetime of praising God.  We must remember that David was far from perfect, but the scriptures say that, "David was a man after God's own heart".    David was a man who sinned greatly, but he also repented and asked God to forgive him of his sins and to restore him back into Gods favor. How much more could we possibly ever want or expect God to be in our lives.   David recognized easily, that God was his rock, fortress, deliverer, shield, horn of my salvation, and stronghold.   Who is God in your life?

I would love to challenge you, after you read this scripture, to do a little digging and find out a little more about each of the words describing who God is.   I may come back to this scripture in the future and share with you what I have learned about it, but until I do, I would love for you to search it out and then share it with the people in your life that needs to hear about God's great love for them.   If, perhaps someone is reading this, and they haven't known of God's love in their lives before now, I pray that you will accept all that God wants to do for you through the blood of Jesus Christ.

Until we meet again, right here, just know that God loves y'all, and so do I.   Much love and hugs, Patty
