A Rainbow Encircled the Throne
I have anticipated this weekend for quite awhile. I knew the festivities of the wedding weekend would be so fun and also relaxing. Mac and I were staying with my parents in a house called Narnia in Seaside. The lady who owns the house told us before we went that we would hear from the Lord in this house, that we would have the best quiet time ever because God's presence is there. This house was absolute beautiful with 3 levels and a porch on each one. In the afternoons we would go the the top level and sit out on that porch and watch the sun begin to set over the ocean as we rested. At one point everyone fell asleep but I began to think as I look at this gorgeous view: "God you are in control of everything.... you are in control of that little bird right there, you are in control of each and every wave that hits the sand... and it is so beautiful." 1 Chronicles 29:11-12 came to mind:
"Everything in the heavens and on earth is yours, O LORD, and this is your kingdom. We adore you as the one who is over all things. Wealth and honor come from you alone, for you rule over everything. Power and might are in your hand, and at your discretion people are made great and given strength."
It is at His discretion- no one elses! I adore you for being in control of everything... isn't that relaxing.
So, I am sitting there, and began a listening prayer...just sitting there letting the Lord speak to me. As I feel the sun kiss my face in my mind I hear, " You're in the heat of the moment.........things are about to boil over." I heard it, and of course, we all question was that God? Was that me? And then I looked up at the sun. I saw shadow of a curve under the sun- it looked like the shape of an upside down rainbow. It really was glorious, unlike anything I had ever seen around the sun. And, of course, I had the thought, "Why aren't all rainbows upside down, because then it makes a smile...and the treasures would be in heaven instead of the earth..."
Regardless, I knew they Lord was revealing his promise to me, even though it was just the mere shape of a rainbow. He is in control of everything and he promises us that he will guide us through any storm. I took those thoughts and words for what they were worth- thinking that it had to do with Mac and I and our life situations. I then laid my head to rest for about 30-40 minutes or so. As I woke up, I looked up again to see if the rainbow looking shape was still there as it was so beautiful the way it framed the sun. And, the precious Lord was so kind to confirm that what I was thinking and hearing was Him. To the right of the sun, where the rainbow would have ended, there was a little peep through the clouds of a rainbow. And, on the other side, where the other end of the rainbow ended, was another little peep of a rainbow. It moved me so much that I took a picture of it with my phone...
It is kind of hard to see in my phone pic, but that was the rainbow on the right side.
I looked up rainbow to see if it had any other meaning, and in Revelations it says:
"A rainbow, resembling an emerald, encircled the throne."
That was His throne... the Lord received 2 precious treasures the next day. It was such a blessing to be in Narnia that weekend as my parents and their other best buds were able to be in the same house together as they mourned over the loss of their close friends. It was a difficult night that night. But, God was ready for them to come home and he had the throne ready- I can't even imagine how beautiful it was up there if it was that pretty enough for me to take a picture down here!!
Here are some pics and clips of this precious couple:

Dry Skin Protocol
If you are struggling with some dry skin, this stuff is amazing! It is one of my new favorites and it isn't too expensive compared to other products we sell here. It is the Avene Emollient Cream. It's very very moisturizing but not too heavy or sticky. I can actually wear it under my makeup. We sell it for $29.00, but it is worth every penny.
It is also great for sensitive skin and children too...
Another new found product that I love is Aqualant Moisture Sealant. You apply it when you get out of the shower, you want to stay a little damp, and it seals the water into your skin. It also is full of antioxidants and has a little retinol which will help exfoliate. We sell this for $36.00

Family Videos
I thought I would say goodbye to the holidays by posting an old family video of us on Christmas Eve doing out traditional skits, talents, singing, and more. This video brought back so many memories. One being that we wore these antlers and noses as we would go from door to door delivering gifts to friends, families, and neighbors. We would hop out of the car, run up to the door, ring the door bell and when they opened the door we would begin singing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas"
.....and we thought this was normal. Every family does this, right?
Well, speaking of videos. My sister sent off a hilarious video to AFV (America's Funniest Home Videos) and yesterday they called her! They wanted us to fill out the release forms so they could look into putting it on a future show! I mean, what if we win!? How funny would that be!?
Okay, so I have posted the video before but here it is again...
It is probably funnier for people who don't know us because they think Mac is the Dad. I am sure I will be posting more on this later, but for now, let's hope we make the cut!
