It’s here. The day has come.

The decisions.  Ideas.  Arranging.  Designing.  Rearranging.  Done. Done. and Done.

To say, I’m THRILLED! ELATED! DELIGHTED! TICKLED… would be an understatement because

THE WEBSITE IS DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m turning virtual cartwheels and biting my nails.  WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!

Here’s the deal:  Look over the new site.  Click on all the clickables.  Note the sidebar. The sliding header. Leave any suggestions or questions you have as well as issues should they occur.

Our hope is to have a user-friendly site that inspires!

What you will find here: REAL Life.  REAL Stories.  REAL Faith

WHAT’S NEW??

The #PrayBig SHOP! 

YES!!! YOU CAN SHOP #PrayBig ONLINE!!  (CLICK on the SHOP tab/link at the top of the of the page!)

All of the #PrayBig products are now a click away from being yours!  Because “When You PRAY BIG Things Happen” Right?  My hope and prayer are for God to use these tools to grow and strengthen His kingdom!  I hope as you purchase the #PrayBig tools that you will remember to #PrayBig and ask God to use you where YOU are with what you have to honor Him!

O-MY-GAWSH! I’m just so stinkin’ excited!!  Obviously, with this many feelings, I can’t think of words so I’m going to GIVEAWAY some STUFF to clear my head and by STUFF I mean a QUILT!!!!!

Yes, another quilt!  This time last year I gave away a quilt my precious mother had quilted.  It was beautiful and ended up in the perfect home.  A woman who had lost her home and all of her precious quilts in a house fire.

This year’s hand-stitched-made-with-love-quilt is from my aunt, Susan.  She is my mother’s sister and a gifted quilter as well!
