My God Avenges

I think it is sometimes easy for us to forget that vengeance and revenge is of the Lord. We should not seek it out. This past week I went to see one of my favorite musicals, Sweeney Todd. If you haven't seen or heard of it, it is about a man seeking revenge on the ones who destroyed his world. While he does get them back, the story also ends tragically for Mr. Sweeney Todd. It is a great reminder that revenge doesn't always work out in your favor and it's best left up to the Lord. Let's remember to let the Lord deal with our enemies. 

 Deuteronomy 32:25, 42
To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste. I will make mine arrows drunk with blood and my sword shall devour flesh, and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revengers upon the enemy.

 Proverbs 20:22
Say not thou, I will recompense evil but wait on the Lord and he shall save thee.

 Jeremiah 5:9
Shall I not visit for these things? Saith the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

 Romans 12:18 - 19
If it be possible as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves but rather give place unto wrath for it is written, vengeance is mine I will repay saith the Lord.

 2 Thessalonians 1:7 - 9
And to you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from Heaven with his mighty angels. In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power.

 Hebrews 10 : 30 - 31
For we know him that hath said vengeance belongeth unto me I will recompense saith the Lord. And again the Lord shall judge his people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

I wanted to get this out soon as possible as I know the Holidays are upon us and everyone is looking to save some money this time of year. This post is geared towards parents of multiples but if you have singletons please feel free to reach out to the companies below too for some free samples and offers, but please be aware some offers might not apply to you. If you’re like me then the minute your babies were born you were online looking at deals and ways to save money. I came across a lot of blog posts and articles stating if you contact this company then they will send you this product free. I thought how true is this? So I put them to the test. I took many lists from the internet and combined it into one giant list of baby product companies; I then emailed and mailed each company requesting free samples due to the birth of my twin girls. Below you will find the responses I received. Some companies were great, while others were….off putting. I included coupon codes I found o...

Centerpiece Craft - 4th of July

I've started preparing for my BBQ on July 4th and the first thing I knew I wanted to make was a centerpiece for the table where all the food is going to be laid out. Regardless of what's going on in Washington and who is President right now, I'm a diehard America fan. My father was in the Air Force, I grew up a Military Brat, tons of uncles and aunts and my grandparents have served... and my brother is currently serving the US Air Force so I'm a little obsessed with these patriotic holidays. I think I mentioned before that July 4th is becoming one of my favorites but anyway because of this I'm going all out for this BBQ so let's get into the craft. What You Will Need: A large clear jar or container Pinecones Red, White & Blue spray paint Fun, patriotic sprays 2 Cardboard boxes - to keep the mess to a minimum I found my pinecones about two years ago now from a floral shop on craigslist that was closing. They had thrown out everything and I was there...

Life Update - No April Fools

I sit here in a crowded room filled with papers, knick knacks, Christmas decorations, Wedding Planning materials and more sprawled out everywhere. I worked my last day at the corporate distribution center on Friday. Come Monday I'll be starting in a new-to-me building and it's bitter-sweet. I love the old DC, where there were only about 100 corporate employees there, everyone knew everybody personally and you could have personal items displayed on your desk without fear of something happening to them. With this move, I don't think I will be as lucky... Hence all the random items now laid out in my office.  I'm realizing I'm going to need to make a trip down to the storage unit to put away the boxes that came home from the office. But seeing all my packed up wedding items, I've also been thinking I really need to start promoting my wedding/event planning business. I finally received my event planning certificate in the mail on Thursday of this past week and it ...
