I'm so glad I did the challenge. I recommend doing it if you haven't already. It's so much fun to mix and match outfits and do different hairstyles for each day. :)

Saturday/FF Challenge Day 5
Saturday started out bright and early for my family. We had to leave the house at 7:45 so we could be at Andrew's soccer game at 8:00. It was his last soccer game. His team played really well this season, but they didn't win the game on Saturday. I think part of the reason was because it was so cold out there. lol It was in the low 30's! We were bundled up in lots of layers and we brought some warm blankets with us to the field. :)
After the soccer game we came home, got some lunch, did a few little things around the house, and then we headed at the door again for a fall party at 2:00.
Here are a few pictures from our day...

Questions and Answers?
I have been very inspired by several blogger friends who have written similar posts on this subject. With that I have decided to hold a random question and answer post of my own. In the comment section of this post, please feel free to ask any questions you may have about me, my likes or dislikes, my family, our beliefs, or any other random questions that you want to ask me. I'll try to answer the questions as time permits in an upcoming post. Also, if I do not receive any questions on this post then I will have reason to believe that I am very dull. :)
God Bless,

Halloween
Halloween is just a normal day for my family because we don't celebrate it. While many families are going to trick-or-treat tomorrow night, we will be staying home. (Last year we enjoyed watching all of the people trick-or-treating in our neighborhood, with the lights turned off of course. We even saw a hamburger and some french fries walk down the street. Hehe!) Anyway, we don't dress up, trick-or-treat, or carve a jack-o-lantern. We don't believe in things like ghosts, demons, and other "scary" things either. Some people think it's just harmless fun to celebrate Halloween, but actually Satan is working in their lives to spread his lies through this well loved holiday. People are getting "sucked" into the darker side of the world and they don't realize it. Halloween is really just a holiday for Satan.
Evil is evil...even when it's just pretend. Satan loves what we think is good innocent fun is actually promotion of him and his. Movies, TV, books and Halloween. He uses things like these for his glory.
Here are some verses for you to ponder on...
"The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons."-I Timothy 4:1
"The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God."-Galatians 5:19-21
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." -Philippians 4:8

True Peace
Peace does not mean that everything around you is calm and tranquil; true peace means that you are able to remain peaceful during the storms of life.
But this peace, which the Bible promises is available to believers, can only come from God. Jesus said, "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace" (John 16:33). In other words, Jesus came so that you could have peace.
Paul tells us, in Philippians 4:6-7, that we can have peace if we don't become anxious about life but instead give our worries to God: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Hand over all of your problems to the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, and He will give you a peace that passes understanding -- a peace that is beyond comprehension.
Much Love,

Don't Run Away from Your Trials
Don't run from your trials.
Everyone faces many trials; however, these trials are not in vain. God uses them to do a work in us, developing us into mature Christians.
In James 1:2-4, we are told, Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. In other words, God uses the tough times in life to sharpen us, making us mature and complete Christians.
Furthermore, God will not permit you to remain in the same trials all of your life; in His proper timing He will deliver you. Psalm 34:17 says, The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.
So don't run from your trials, because the testing of your faith develops you into a mature and complete Christian.
Much Love,

Snow in October? What?
This is one of my favorite crops to see growing in the fall. Right now, there is a lot of it growing in fields around my town. It's so pretty! I have wanted to get a picture of it for awhile and last Saturday I got to take a few shots. The whole family and I were on the way home from Andrew's soccer game and my wonderful Daddy pulled off the road for me. *grin* It really does looks like snow. I better get off this computer and help finish some laundry before it's time to get supper ready.
In Christ,
