TITUS 2 BLOG PARTY

Glad you have stopped by.
Hello and welcome to my Blog. I'm coming to you from the Kansas Flinthills.
This is "My Introduction to the Titus 2 Blog Party."
New to Blogworld, but really enjoying it.

Hopefully by tonite, my sweet husband will have walked me through and I will have an official Titus 2 Blog Party Button displayed on this space.
Think I qualify as one of the OLDER WOMAN desiring to be helpful...
I'm a real woman!!!!! Does that count? I need God's help every day.

I am a Child of God.  Born again, Spirit filled, Bible Believing Christian.
Still finding out that life is full of challenges and surprises!
Presently learning how to juggle being a stay-at-home wife, homemaker and Grandma with some health issues that babysits full time an overly active toddler in a 123 year old 2 story native limestone house in serious need of tender loving care and remodeling.
Consider myself BLESSED and continually learning new things about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness while living in a very small town nestled in the beautiful Flinthills.

Due to my husband's career, we've moved and relocated 17 times up and down the Mid-west.
Have been a community member in medium, small and large towns as well as cities, suburbs and country living.

Have been up and down and all around the financial economic ladder, battled health issues, walked through relational struggles and spiritual situations that cause one to pray.
Each place has had different challenges and rewards as I have desired a closer walk with God.

My name's Deanna.
53.
Married 34 and a half years to the same man.
Mother to 3.
Mom-in-Law to 2 young ladies.
Grandma to 3 grandchildren.

Welcome to my Blog and hopefully you'll come to visit more often.
May your home be a haven that you use your God given talents in to shower others with God's love and comfort those that are on your watch.

God richly Bless you,
Deanna from the Kansas Flinthills.

Deanna,

I loved what you said about the end about your home being a haven. That's exactly what we want our home to be, too! I'd love any tips and help from someone who's been on that path a little longer than we have. God has blessed us with a larger apartment where we are now, and we're able to have an easier time in hospitality--it was REALLY cramped before.
Anyway, I look forward to reading more of your writing!
By grace,
CristyLynn

Glad you are in on the blog party, Deanna. Oh, I answered your question over on my site about the music. Overall, I think contemp music is ok as long as it is not the head-banging stuff, but my husband and I enjoy hymns again right now. This blog stuff is fun, isn't it?

Joy @ SAH Missionary said...

Oh I am so glad to meet you. You sound like so much fun. I love spunky women, and you sound like one for sure!
I can't wait to come back again and again!
I'm going to become a "follower" of your blog so I don't miss anything!!
Blessings,
Joy

I love it--an "older woman" blogging about the home. Makes me so happy to see someone who's farther down the road than I am sharing her heart. Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Deanna,

It is so great to "meet" you. I love reading from the "older" women. You open my eyes to things I do not see with my own. Thank you.

Deanna, from the Flinthills of Kansas, I am Linda from Derby, Kansas.
I Enjoyed your post and the pictures. Cute house at the top of your page. Cozy. I too think of my home as my haven. A haven of rest!

You're going to love this blogging stuff! It just gets better and better!! :-)


Happy Titus 2 week!

Jules said...

Hi Deanna,

I too am a grandmother (a young grandmother!) and live in a house that is badly in need of tender loving care (one day we'll get there but there are more important things at the moment that take our time and money - such as three sons still at home). Welcome to the blog party.

Blessings, Jules

Deanna said...

Dear Ones,

The new environment of Blogworld that I have come to enjoy is a fun adventure and Blessing to me where I am in life right now.

Lord knows all that's going on in "my world" and has allowed this arena to be there for me and many others that are encouraged and blessed by blogging.

From the light hearted stories to the more in depth thoughts; from the nutritional food recipes to frugal decorating ideas and organizational ideas; from Family activities to Godly Devotions; from encouraging words to new found blogger friends; from clothing designs to SPIRITUAL MAKE OVERS...THIS HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL BLESSING TO ME.

THANK YOU FOR VISITING MY BLOG DURING TITUS 2 BLOG PARTY WEEK.
I HOPE YOU'LL RETURN AND FIND SOMETHING HERE THAT REFRESHES YOUR SOUL.

It is a pleasure to have met you and I will enjoy getting better aquainted with you thru your blog.

GOD BLESS YOU AS ONLY HE CAN.
Deanna From the Kansas Flinthills

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

PROVERBS 24:3-4

its rooms are filled with rare

As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
