Number 9


Biblical Meaning: Nine: Fruit of the Spirit; gifts of the Spirit; finality; harvest; fullness of development. (Matt. 27: 45; Judges 4: 1-3; Gal. 5: 22-23; 1 Cor. 12: 4-11)



Meaning for me: But the fruit of the Spirit is... Love,Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness,Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self Control... Against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23
(I need a little more help on most of these)

I did this for Fun!




Your Expression Number is 9



An idealist and humanitarian, you strive to make the world a better place.

You do your best when you follow your feelings and sense of compassion.

Deep down, you dream of being loved by many.



You are capable of much human understanding and have a lot to give to others.

While you are very ambitious, you never lose site of perspective.

You have an abundance of creative talents... you just need to tap into them.



Although you are a giving person, you can become selfish if you are ignored.

If you are not able to help people, you tend to shelf your talents.

Without others, you become aloof and start to lack sensitivity.

Blog Things!

After visiting Small Reflections and ChrisB's I thought I would try this..... (Yep, that's just about me, except I don't drink tea. Well, maybe unsweet when we go out to eat or Spice tea in the winter.)




You Are Black Tea



You have a bold personality. You're not afraid of simply being yourself.

You have the courage to speak the truth. You are fearless in your actions.



You come off as a bit intimidating and unapproachable. Only confident people are attracted to you.

You don't try to scare off anyone. You're just an intense person!

Biblical meaning: Seven: Completion; finished work; perfection; rest; perfection in the Spirit. (Gen. 2: 1-3; Lev. 14: 7; 16: 14, 19; Matt. 18: 21-22; Jude 14; Rev. 2: 1; 8: 2; 12: 3)
Meaning to me: My little Red (middle child) went back to public school this year and he is in the 7th grade. He also will be playing 7th grade football, which he made the 1st string as an outside line-backer. He is doing very well except for Science, but I feel once he catches on to how that teacher does it, he will do well. He is very excited about going back to school, so this makes me happy. I'm so well pleased that he has his interest back in learning. (He and I was doing nothing but clashing last year)
Also, I want to leave you with this little note.... (You may have to click on image to make it bigger.)

Word of warning!

With me doing my number meme and using the Biblical meaning of numbers I hope I do not offend any body. I do know I have friends that have all different kinds of beliefs. I'm not telling you this is the WAY, just sharing some that I have learnt.
Hope you have a happy!

Back to my Number meme!


Biblical meaning: Six: Man; beast; Satan; flesh; carnal; toil and strain of the flesh or natural realm; work; sorrow; secular completeness. (Rev. 13: 18; 1 Sam. 17: 4-7; Gen. 1: 26-31; 4: 17-18; 2 Peter 3: 8; 2 Sam. 21: 20; Num. 35: 15)
Meaning to me: I could not think of anything that pertained to me with the number six. Except maybe a 6 pack of diet dew, but because I don't like drinking out of a can, I'm not going to use that. Instead I thought I would share share a little about the Hebrew alphabet. The sixth letter of the Hebrew alphabet is called "Vav"
Here is a link to better explain...

KB's sleep over!

I sorta lied about not staying up all night with the girls, but in a way I didn't. We were having so much fun that I stayed up with the girls till 2:30 AM. They had a beauty contest and guess who won over all? Yep! KB! One of her friends fell asleep early, so there were only 2 in it. One of the other girls wanted to be a judge with my niece that helped me do the make overs. I didn't get of my nieces that I wanted to come over, but that is another rant, I mean post for another day. LOL!
Here are a few pics of our night and there is a few videos below this post.

Here are the 2 contestants.

Here is one of the judges.

Here is sleeping beauty.

Here is KB with her winning pic and T in 2nd place.

My great nephew had to get in the action.

Here they are getting jiggy with it!

Here the kids are playing a game.

My little princess and her beauty!

Here is my little princess showing off.

Jesus take the wheel

Here is KB singing during the talent part of her contest.
If I say so my self, she has a beautiful voice and breath to sing, but just needs to sing from down deep to make her voice louder. Do I see a singer in the future? I think I do!

(Now, next year we are either going to rent to pool in the next county or get a big water slide and have water balloons here for Aron's Big Blow Out (Sweet 16) party. Tonight KB is having a sleep over. They are going do make overs, have a dance contest, beauty contest, play games and whatever else they can think of. I will post those pics later. (If they don't forget to take any) I'm sure not staying up all night! LOL! I was smart; I got my 19 year old niece to come and stay up with them.
Here are a few pics of our day.......





Aron helped me do his guitar cake and KB helped with her castle cake. I think we did a great job!

Momma~

A little heads up about......

Biblical numbers. (Some numbers have more than one meaning. It's just depends on how it is used. What applies to one may not apply to another.) Like with words. Let me give you an example. The word love can be used in so many ways. Did you know that the word love is not used in Hebrew. They have a lot of other words that mean love from the English language.
There is also more in depth studies like Biblical Mathematics and Numerology.
I just thought this would be neat to share.
Hope you enjoy my little meme!
(I'm going to try and keep this little reminder up top as a reminder while I do my meme. So, All other post will be below this.)

Number 5

Biblical meaning: Five: Grace; atonement; fivefold ministry; service (five fingers on the hand); bondage; complete wellness. (Is. 1: 12-14; Matt. 25: 2; Eph. 4: 11; Mark 6: 38-40; Luke 9: 13-16; Gen. 1: 20-23)
Meaning for me: I have been fortunate enough to have 2 families of 5 in my life time. 1st is my mom, 3 brothers and myself. My mom did a wonderful job being a nurse and raised 4 kids all by herself. 2nd is my family I have now; Dan, our kids and myself.


(Both of these pics are several years old. The last one is when Dan and I renewed our vows 3 years ago. Plus, this is an aweful picture of me! It also shows really how much my kids have grown in 3 years, mostly Aron)

My number 4: My 4 nieces! The one sitting in the grey is the oldest and in her 2nd year of RN school. The one standing behind her in the white is next to the oldest. She hasn't quite figured what she wants to do in life as far as a career. The other one setting is the 3rd one and she is in her 1st year of RN school. (She is the the one that is the most like me). The other one standing in the black and grey is my youngest niece. She is still trying to figure out her way. And of course I had to put my little Princess in there. LOL!
I Love all these girls with every inch of my heart! Even though we have had our ups, downs, ins & outs, We still are very close and I'm proud of everyone of them!

1, 2, 3 Meme


At the beginning of our school last year I did an ABC meme that I had found off of someone's Blog. Since I Love numbers and finding their Biblical meaning, I thought I would do a number’s meme. I’m not really sure exactly how this is going to work out, but I had thought of listing the biblical meaning & a picture and a description.
Example: Give meaning, then maybe a picture of my oldest son since he is my 1st born and tell you why he is number one to me.
I guess we will just have to wait and see how it turns out. I hope it is as fun as it 1st seemed when I came up with the idea and it’s not too hard. I will start my new adventure either later tonight or early morning. I just hope it is as fun as the ABC meme.
Until next time….. Hope you have a HAPPY!

Light informal conversation for social occasions; A report (often malicious) about the behavior of other people; A person given to divulging personal information about others.


Compare backbiting.


************************************************************

This is one word that gets on my ever loving nerves!
If anyone that reads my Blog is a gossip, I hope not to offend. This is my on personal opinion and rant. If someone is happy and can live with being a gossip, I have no problem. My problem is to a small group of “home” ladies. My problem is that “I” don’t fit in because I don’t gossip! (This is the 1st part of rant) I feel just because I’m not one to give you the latest scoop and dirt on someone that you don’t have anything to say to me. I feel that if I accept you for you then you should accept me for me. People should be able to have small talk with out having to have the latest news, someone’s faults or whatever! Plus, this same group of ladies asks if they could come visit my mom, I thought it would be a great idea since she doesn’t get out unless we go to the Dr and the only company is her kids and grand- kids. All these ladies did the whole time they were there was gossip among their selves and not once ask if my mom needed anything, talk with her or anything else. All their visit did was make momma nervous because she couldn’t hear half what was said and they were so loud. You don’t go to a sick person’s house and act like that in my opinion! You don’t have to act like they are dieing, you can help them laugh, but leaving them out and doing nothing but gossiping about others is no way to act!
(My 2nd part of rant) Is that a lot of gossip has been going around my family and it is causing a wedge between us. To me this is what gossip does. (Our family has always been so close knit.) If you have a problem with someone then go to that person don’t go around talking about them behind their back.
On my side of the family I have 4 nieces and I have always been very close to each one, especially one in particular. She and I have never fussed; I can’t say that with the others. I try not to be one that has favorites but SD and I have always had a special bond. Well, the other day SD and I got into a big argument, I mean major! She kept twisting my words and some had to do with somebody going around spreading gossip that wasn’t even ½ way true, all this did was had fuel to her fire, matter fact, it started the fire. (Which I didn’t know about most till 3-4 days after the big blow up) Plus, to my surprise she is going around still twisting my words and making what was small very huge.
Heck! Life is hard enough without all the extra drama and IMO; everybody has more than enough in their own world without sticking their nose in someone else’s. I know I do.
Well, I guess I’m over my rant! I just hope I didn’t offend anybody. Know I just need to figure out what I need to do with this group of ladies and my family.
Hope you have a happy!

cucumbers and more cucumbers!




This year we have been so very blessed with plenty of cucumbers! Which is a very good thing! Last year we planted about the same as this year, but only had enough mainly for canning pickles. I don't really care for pickles, Dan does. Dan don't really care for cucumbers, but I do.
The other day I had 2 of my great nephews here and they kept going to the garden getting cucumbers. I'm talking about 10! Which we enjoyed very much with the home made ranch dressing I made. (hehehehe!) But I did get worried about Dan not having enough for his pickles he was getting ready to make. Well, 2 days later Dan went to check the cucumbers and I was shocked to find the above. He picked over 20 lbs of cucumbers! 2 of them weighed 1lb 11 oz. So, that tells me he will have one more good picking for pickles (this was his 3rd or 4th batch) and the kids and I still have plenty for enjoying! YUM!!!!
