Tour My Home - part 4 {Main bathroom}

Part 1 {The outside} 

Part 2 {Garage entryway}

Part 3 {Brianna and Micah's Room}

This little space functions as our children's bathroom since we also have a master bathroom just around the corner. 

I think that I failed to mention that when we decided to build, sweet hubby allowed me to choose our floor plan.  My only restriction was to keep it around 1,500 square feet.  You can see the floor plan I chose by clicking here.  (Be sure to scroll down a little to see the home layout.)  We just printed out those plans and took them to an architect here, who then re-designed the plan using the metric system.  We made a few changes (such as the utility room, which I will explain better later, and the kitchen layout).  We also cut out all of the fancy porches and closed-in garage in order to concentrate our money on the necessary parts.  But you can see the basic idea by looking at the original floor plan we followed.   

Now, on to the bathroom...  I chose a beige-colored tile so that it would be easier to change the decor as the children grow...

(Below) And, here are the smaller details of our current decor...

Other than a few minor repairs, this room is basically done.  (Ahhhh.... it felt so good to just type that!)

The next part of this tour will take us to the master bedroom.  Until next time, friends!

A Card Shower!

What if I had cancer?  What if I were young, joyfully serving the Lord on the mission field (for 11 years already!) with my husband and three boys,.... and found out I had cancer?  I mean, why couldn't it happen to me?

Ladies, my friend Sheila Campbell is going through such a battle today.  She was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lymphoma cancer, and had to come off of her beloved field of the Philippines to undergo treatments. 

Sheila has met with a bone marrow specialist at Johns Hopkins who has said her cancer is not responding to the previous treatments and he has laid out a new treatment in order for her to survive. She started those treatments today and will then undergo a bone marrow transplant. This process will extend over a 60 day period, which will include weekends and holidays. There are many expenses involved such as traveling back and forth from the hospital, food, room and board, and medical bills.

A card shower has been started for Sheila, and I would like to ask you to get involved.  Please send a word of encouragement to Sheila and her precious family at this address:
 
Sheila Campbell
204 King James Rd.
Upper Marlboro, MD 20774

If you can, tuck a little gift card, gas card, or check into your card to help this sweet family with their expenses.  And, send those sweet boys (Zachary, Timmy, and Wesley) some love too!

Sheila and her husband graduated from the same Bible college that hubby and I graduated from.  When I was in high school, she sweetly worked as a secretary for our school principal.

Hubby and I will be working with our kids to send our cards this week.  Won't you join us?

Pray, my friends!

Please, pretty please.... {with sugar on top}...

Would you pray for Elyona and Diana?  These are two teenage girls who have been coming to our church, off and on, for about 6 months now.

And they so desperately need our Saviour's love.

His salvation.

And I am so burdened for them.  Please pray.
