Inside out Ladies/Lakeside Church of God

Last night we all got together to help decorate the church for Christmas. There are still a few things to do but the church is looking beautiful already. As usual, we had a wonderful time together in fellowship with each other and with the Lord. Our God is so awesome and these ladies I am so lucky to be associated with are proof of his goodness. I look forward to spending more time with each and every on of you. I love you all.

Earn CTMH Hostess Rewards Easily

Close To My Heart EZ Invite system has changed to make it possible for you to earn Hostess Rewards WITHOUT hosting an actual home gathering. Well, effective immediately, the system is up and running and there is no time like the present to give you all the details.

As I mentioned, with the CTMH EZ Invite system, you no longer need to host a face-to-face home gathering to earn Hostess Rewards and with collected orders of just $175 you start qualifying. Getting the online gathering process started is easy. Just contact me and you'll be on your way to earning rewards in no time.

So How Does and EZ Invite Online Gathering Work?

Once I have started the process on my end, you'll receive an email with a link to access your CTMH EZ Invite Manager. From here, you simply add the names and email addresses of the people you'd like to invite to shop and you're all set. All orders placed through the EZ Invite system before the closing date the we've decided on will count towards your Hostess Rewards total. Your virtual guests will have until 11:59pm on the closing date to participate. Once the closing date has passed, I will contact you and let you know how much free product you've earned through Hostess Rewards. You select your product and we're finished! It's that easy.

The EZ Invite Manager will make it easy for you to send personalized, professional looking invitations, reminder messages and thank-you notes to your virtual guests. You can also track the total of orders placed, and add/remove guests from the system at any time. As a consultant, I cannot access your EZ Invite Manager, so you can rest assured that your guest's contact information as entered to this system is not shared with me. Only when an order is placed is the information transferred to my database.

Orders placed via the Online Gathering system are processed and shipped as they are received. This means that your guests do not have to wait until sometime after the closing date to receive their product. This is good news for them! This is good news for you too - because regardless of when the order is placed, it will still count towards your qualifying totals for Hostess Rewards!

So what do you think? Are you interested in hosting an Online Gathering and earning Hostess Rewards? Email me at vjr1022@yahoo.com or call me at 704-489-8062 to contact me and we'll get things started right away!

Getting Ready for Christmas

We have started our decorating and the tree is up. The kids are very excited now that the tree is up and cannot wait for Santa to show up.

Thanksgiving Day

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends. We enjoyed the day at home with the kids and went out for dinner. I am truly thankful for the many blessings that God his given to me but most of all I am thankful that he is my Lord and Savior and I will praise him in all things and at all times.

I hope everyone has a wonderful, blessed Thanksgiving. I have so many things to be thankful for this year and always. I thank God for being my Lord and Savior and all the blessings he has given to me. I thank all of my family and friends for being a part of my life and always being there for me. I love you all!

Feeling Very Blessed Today

Prayer changes things...situations, attitudes, people, relationships, & the list goes on. God is so AWESOME!!!

Happy Birthday Kyle!

Happy Birthday to my grandson, Kyle. Today, he is turning 10 years old. He is absolutely one of the sweetest little boys you will ever meet. I love you "Mister"

Some Progress, Finally!

Good morning everyone. I made a good start yesterday on getting my craft area set up in the garage. After church today, I hope to get some more done. Will post some pictures of the progress I am making. Hope everyone has a great day in the Lord and a wonderful week to follow!

Good Morning Everyone!

Hope all of you have a great weekend! I am going to be working on getting my craft area set up in the garage. Since we have moved to North Carolina, I have not been able to do much crafty work. I miss doing that. The weather this morning is cool but supposed to warm up to 70 degrees later today.

Happy Veterans Day

Remember

by Brittany Vigoreaux



American soldiers sacrifice so much,

All for the freedom of our country.

Leaving their families and heading off to war,

Not knowing what the future holds.



Working day and night

Determined to stay strong.

Watching friends be killed every day

Letters from home inspiring them to keep fighting



So little is given to them

Although there is little to do,

For those who have died in war

We can still remember



Remember all the men who have died.

Remember all the battles fought

Remember all the tears families cried

Remember it was freedom the soldiers brought



To this very day soldiers are under-appreciated

Veterans Day is the day

For the dead, living, and fighting soldiers

To be remembered

Motivation Needed

I am just asking the Lord for motivation today to get my scrap supplies opened and put away. I am tired of unpacking boxes and I want it to be finished and everything put in its proper place and I do not have the motivation needed to complete it. Prayers needed for energy and the willpower to get it done.

Little Lady Lexie

My daughter and son-in-law surprised me with this precious little puppy when I got home from church today. Isn't she just the cutest?!

Home from Ladies Retreat

Had an amazing time in a cabin in the Smoky Mountains. Got to know the ladies a little more and what an amazing group of women they are. We had so much fun. Went to two services and heard two powerful messages by Amanda Crabb and Judi Jacobs.

Retreat this weekend!

I am leaving Wednesday night to go on a women's retreat with the ladies from my church.I have only started going to the church here in Denver, NC about a month or so ago and the ladies of my church are an amazing group of women and I look forward to getting to know each of them better. We will be staying in a cabin in Gatlinburg, TN. It will be a great time of fellowship, worship and sharing God's word. I can hardly wait.
