Judgemental undermindment.

 Recently, while visiting with a friend, I noticed something. Let's call her 'May'. 'April' asked me a question. I answered April. May turned around and said 'No, don't go to them, go to my friend so-and-so.' I replied 'It's 75% cheaper to go to my place.' She then said 'Well, it's not worth it. Go to So-and-So April."
   Undermindment. Hello, you totally underminded me. How do you think I felt? I get so tired of this. WHY MUST YOU BE SO UNDERMINDING?!!?!!!!!?!?!?!?
 I am a person, and you cannot treat me this way, don't you see? May, you so get on my nerves. Someone askes me a question. I answer. You tell the person to disregard my answer and only listen to you.
              GOD HELP YOU. YOU NEED HIM SEVERELY.

Sorry times a million.

 I am deathly sorry! I just had my 5th ear surgery and my life has been hectic.
 Well, it's also been nice. Preparing for my 8th year of school, my 3rd year homeschooling. Ridin' four wheelers (okay ATV if you want to call it that). Hanging with my best friends, a youth trip to BRANSON, MISSOURI, and so much more.
 I am in pain so pray for me.

Ramesly Lane (Pentecostal Clothing Line)

 This past week, I've gotten the idea of a modest and cheap clothing line. The name could be Ramesly Lane. I get these ideas all of the time, but I never go forward with them. Something tells me that Ramesly Lane could take off easily.
The whole message of RL is custom, just like RL. We'll carry sizes Newborn--7X, shoes: newborn--12, men, women, children, any material, any color, any size.
I need some ideas, tips, and potential customers.

Honduras Missionary

I was searching for a site, and I found this:
 A mission trip to Honduras. I want to go, but it's $1,000 and in only a month. If you have any ideas, lemme know :D

"No Expensive Clothing"? Silent befor the storm...

 Last night, in my preacher's sermon, he spoke about Salvation. He read a little on text that Saved people are not supposed to wear clothing that's costly. Is that in a spirtiual form? Maybe it means clothing willing to cost us our Holy Ghost?
 Last night I dremt of:
 "When you aren't living for God, everything is calm and silent. But as soon as you give your life to God, all that can happen, happens. All that can go wrong, goes. It's like 'quiet' and then someone just bangs on the drums with a tabarine!"
 Good point ....Right?

I'm FINALLY back

Hi, everyone, I'm finally back. I've been sick, busy, and actually, been going through some hard times.
 My friend has been dissed the same way I was, but she wouldn't take my heed befor. Her barely ex-hus-BAD (not legally divorced yet) is posting pics of him and another girl, and life's been hectic for me lately.
 I've been fighting with a rooster, fixing 4wheelers/ATVs, shopping for my mom a car, going back and forth for my dad's appointments 2 hours away and I feel guilty for not posting sooner.
 Please forgive me. I promise I'll start posting again.
 LOVES.

Dear God.

Dear God,
 thank you for another year, month, week, day, hour, minute, second, breath. You blessed me with my thirteenth year, living for you. Had it not been for You, I wouldn't be here. Thank you for being there for me. I love You big as the sky and more.
 Your Child,
 Alyssa :)

Whew!

 So things are finally in order (Thank goodness!) and yet still overwhelming. Sunday is Mothers day and my birthday (big 1-3) and my Dad and uncle finished building my loft bed.
 I'm still croup-y but my weekend's filled with birthday parties for the cousins and "neices"....whew.
Tonight my mom, my bro, me and my Granny shopped but I was thinking of history.
 I am searching my family history (Dunnam, Chandler, Setliff) and on my Mom's dad's side (Dunnam) I found out so much! We came from England/London, traveled to Carolinas and were some of the first settlers! And, there is a Dunnam bible college in Florida; we have 3 famous family members!
I need to go,
LM

I'm back!!!

So, everyone, I am o very sorry that I have been off....I've been in the hospital with extreme asthma attack and a touc of Pneumonia...
 Early morning (THREE AM!!) of Wensday, I almost died. Had it not been for prayer, I would be gone.
So I'm getting back on my feet so I'll be pretty slow gettin back to writing.
 LOVE YOU ALL!!!!

SEARS!!

Today's Question and Answer

Question:  Hi, LaMod. A friend I are trying to witness to a guy "Jake" in my class, but he is makin me uncomfortable! He keeps gettin the wrong idea. How can  I put him down nicely and still witness?
                                                                                                                  --Kelsie in Salem, Mass.
Answer:  Kelsie, the one thing I could tell you would be... next time he does something, simply step back.  Smile a tight smile. "Jake, you're making me uncomfortable. Please don't do that again. You have been making me uncomfortable. You're getting my kindness confused. Please don't. Thanks." Don't say it rude. Just say it, and mean it kindly.

I will always Love You! {To my "Big Sister"}

 When my "Sis" and her husband split, She was worried I would be mad at her. Well, here's a message to you, JR!
 ...:...I love you for you, J.R. I never loved you for RB. I never was your friend because of him! I loved and AM for friend because I love you. You're my sister. You're my best friend. You are the one I shared the deepest secrets with. You're the one I have prayed for what seemed like ever. You're the one who has been there for me. We've laughed together, sang together and even cried together. J.R.,

I prayed and I was answered.

 So, Caitlyn and I met when I was in first grade. In 4th, my teacher Ms. Newcon, asked me to be Kaitlyn's tutor. She as failing in everything. (If F MINUS counts as failing!). So, I started to help her.
 "Okay, Kaitlyn, now, pay attetion to me. 56 times 92 equals 2345. Is this true or false?" She'd think. "Oh easy! 5+6+9+2= 22. 2+2=4 and 22+4+5+3=34 times 34 equals 1146. That's half of 2345! It's true!!!" I would look at her dumbfounded. "No, Kaitlyn. Who taught you math?!"
 I tried with her for a whole year until I got her on the A HONOR ROLL. I really worked. So over the summer, we became best friends. And from 4th until 7th, we were best friends.
 As time went on, we started to break away from each other. I was loyal etc but she wasn't. She stopped returning my calls, letters, emails, messages, etc.
 So, the other night I prayed "Lord, I'm about to call. If she doesn't answer, I know it's in your will to be left alone." Well, had it not been for Sarina, her sister, answering the phone, that call would have never been accepted.
 We chatted, Sarina and I, and soon Kaitlyn answered. We chatted. She seemed unresponsive and just plain bored with me. She said they'd eat dinner and she'd call me back. SHE MUST BE A SLOW EATER CUZ SHE AIN'T CALLED BACK IN ALMOST 2 DAYS!
 I just don't get it! Gosh, this has been going on almost 2 years! What did Ido to her???? Why can't she be my friend after ALL I've done for her!?!
 But, I prayed, she hasn't called back. It's a sign. It wasn't mean to be, and time will tell if I'll have a friend again.
_____ <3 _______

Some times, we don't run into trouble...trouble finds us!

 From the little things, like a filling (dental) breaking or a missed call from a hateful-not-so-friend, to the big things; such as you puppy going missing, your horse having to be put down, car breaking down, etc etc etc etc! It goes on and on, infinaty and way beyond.
 You know, we do as we should but trouble comes a knocking. And, as it is said, we are supposed to REJOICE when trouble comes knocking because we're doing something right? Can I get a "Amen" or a "Mmmhmm...." or just a nod? Prolly so!
 So, needless to say, I need not complain and need SO to be glad because Satan trying to get at me! A I was taught growing up, Satan has to go to God, ask him if he can bother me, get permission and then come at me! When Satan knocks me down, I come bac up fighting, I am a kickin and a punchin old Lucifer showing him NEVA to touch GOD'S CHILD!
 So yes I die daily and suffer daily, nightly, yearly etc but as in the bible it says, for what ever we go through on earth we WILL conquer and one day, we WILL be walking streets of GOLD with JESUS CHRIST, we will be paid back for it all, AMEN! THERE WILL BE A PAY DAY AT THE END OF THE ROAD!!!!!!
  Amen, thank you for letting me deliver this sermonette. :-D

Little Q n A for today.

 Sorry ya'll. I haven't been posting lately. I got alot on mind. Who don't? But I have beentyig tfind Top-Hat/Top Knotch chikens, and etc, I'm busy with everyday stuff... So here's some Q N A:

Question: I met a girl at school, and she wants to be my friend. She's a really worldly girl and she'd be a good prson to witness to. Except, my parents always taught me that God doesn't want for you to be their friend. That God wants us to stay away from people like them and stay with our kind. She's really nice..what do I do?
                                                                                     Asked By, Melanie in Seattle, Washington
Answer: Okay, Melanie, this is a tough one. Now, I think your parents are in the wrong. They are supposed to teach that we should love people from all walks of life, not just saved. I would talk with your parents and be like "Mom, Dad, I want to be Her friend so I can witness to her." explain why you want to.

Let em dig their own grave...

 Growing up, I've heard the sayin "Lettem dig dar own grave" but not until this past month did it finally give itself meaning.
  Karrie decided to start coming to our church. Karrie was uptight, she was a...bull dozer, it was her way or the highway etc. Worst of all, she was talking about God saving her, but she really didn't accept the Pentecostal ways.
 In our Easter program, she had her hair cut to her shoulders, lots of makeup, painted nails and pants. She was IN our Easter program as the blind woman...
 I also heard "You Gotta Meet Him in the Middle" my favorite phrase from Red Fern Grows.
 I know, I was raised Pentecost and I am not perfect but she came in OVER our Ladies of the church and told us what to do. She even corrected my preacher on the bible and she was raised baptist.
  She probably doesn't understand it, (she's 28) but, I always thought you had to meet God in the middle?! Well, time went on and she told my early-fifties-but-don't-look-it pastor he was sexy.
 A) If you're a woman of God, you wouldn't say nor think it. B) YOU DON'T SAY THAT TO A PERSON OF GOD! C) Lettem dig their own grave.
 Well, soon, everyone stopped letting her boss them and they drifted away.
Moral of the story: When someone does you wrong, don't worry. Let them dig their own grave, because what goes around comes around and if you do someone wrong, punishment will come.
 LET EM GO, AND LETTEM DIG DAR OWN GRAVE ME CHER!

Some super funny random jokes

A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to 'honor' thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, 'Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?' Without missing a beat one little boy, the oldest of a family, answered, 'Thou shall not kill.'
                                  ***
 little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal, its throat was very small.
The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.
The little girl said, 'When I get to heaven, I will ask Jonah.'
The teacher asked, 'What if Jonah went to hell?'The little girl replied, 'Then you ask him!'
                                ***

The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray:

'Take only ONE. God is watching.'

Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. A child had written a note, 'Take all you want. God is watching the apples.'

One dark night outside of Westlake, a small town in Louisiana, a fire started inside the local chemical plant and in a blink of an eye it exploded into massive flames.
The alarm went out to all the fire departments for miles around. When the volunteer fire fighters appeared on the scene, the chemical company president rushed to the fire chief and said,
"All our secret formulas are in the vault in the center of the plant.
They must be saved. I will give $50,000 to the fire department that brings them out intact."
But the roaring flames held the firefighters off. Soon more fire departments had to be called in as the situation became desperate. As the Firemen arrived, the president shouted out that the offer was now
$100,000 to the fire department who could bring out the company's secret files.
From a distance, a lone siren was heard as another fire truck came into sight. It was the nearby Cajun Hackberry Rural Township Volunteer Fire Company, composed mainly of Cajuns over the age of 65.
To everyone's amazement, that little run- down fire engine roared right past all the newer sleek engines that were parked outside the plant. Without even slowing down, it drove straight into the middle of the inferno.
Outside, the other firemen watched as the Hackberry old timers jumped off right in the middle of the fire and fought it back on all sides..
It was a performance and effort never seen before.
Within a short time, the Cajun old timers had extinguished the fire and had saved the secret formulas. The grateful chemical company president announced that for such a superhuman feat he was upping
the reward to $200,000, and walked over to personally thank each of the brave fire fighters.
The local KPLC TV news reporter rushed in to capture the event on film, asking the chief, "What are you going to do with all that money?"
"Whall," said Boudreaux, the 70-year-old fire chief, "Da first ting we gonna do is fix dem brakes on dat crazy truck!"

A blonde decides to try horseback riding, even though she has had no lessons or prior experience. She mounts the horse, named Blackie, unassisted, and the horse immediately springs into motion. It gallops along at a steady and rhythmic pace, but the blonde begins to slip from the saddle. In terror, she grabs for Blackie's mane, but cannot seem to get a firm grip. She tries to throw her arms around Blackie's neck, but she slides down the side of the horse anyway. Blackie gallops along, seemingly impervious to his slipping rider. Finally, giving up her frail grip, the blonde attempts to leap away from Blackie and throws herself to safety. Unfortunately, her foot has becomes entangled in the stirrup, she is now at the mercy of Blackie's pounding hooves as her head is struck against the ground over and over. As her head is battered against the ground, she is mere moments away from unconsciousness when to her great fortune...... Frank, the Wal-mart greeter, sees her dilemma and unplugs Blackie.

   A new pastor was visiting the homes of his parishioners.

At one house it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door. Therefore, he took out a card and wrote "Revelation 3:20" on the back of it and stuck it in the door.

When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that his card had been returned. Added to it was this cryptic message, Genesis 3:10."

Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of laughter.

Revelation 3:20 begins "Behold, I stand at the door and knock." Genesis 3:10 reads, "I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid, for I was naked."

The mexican man pleads with them, "No, noooo Senior, I must stay in de USA! Pleeeze!"

The Border Patrol Agent thinks to himself, I'm going to make it hard for him and says "Ok, I'll let you stay if you can use 3 english words in a sentence".

The Mexican man of course agrees.

The Border Patrol Agent tells him, "The 3 words are: Green, Pink and Yellow. Now use them in 1 sentence."

The Mexican man thinks really hard for about 2 minutes, then says, "Hmmm, Ok. The phone, it went Green, Green, Green, I Pink it up and sez Yellow?

A couple from Minneapolis decided to go to Florida for a long weekend to thaw out during one particularly icy winter. Because both had jobs, they had difficulty coordinating their travel schedules. It was decided that the husband would fly to Florida on a Thursday, and his wife would follow him the next day. Upon arriving as planned, the husband checked into the hotel. There he decided to open his laptop and send his wife an e-mail back in Minneapolis. However, he accidentally left off one letter in her address, and sent the e-mail without realizing his error.

In Houston, a widow had just returned from her husband's funeral. He was a minister of many years who had been 'called home to glory' following a heart attack. The widow checked her e-mail, expecting messages from relatives and friends. Upon reading the first message, she fainted and fell to the floor. The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:

To: My Loving Wife
From: Your Departed Husband
Subject: I've Arrived!
I've just arrived and have checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then! Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.

One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex was staring up at the large plaque that hung in the foyer of the church. The plaque was covered with names, and small American flags were mounted on either side of it. The seven-year-old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up, stood beside him and said quietly, "Good morning, Alex."

"Good morning, Pastor," replied the young man, still focused on the plaque. "Pastor McGhee, what is this?" Alex asked.

"Well, son, it's a memorial to all the men and women who have died in the service."

Soberly, they stood together, staring at the large plaque. Little Alex's voice was barely audible when he finally managed to ask, "Which one, the 9:00 or 10:30 service?

Writer's Block :(

 As long as I can remember, I've loved music. I've sang (in private) since I was five or six. Just about 3 years ago I began to sing in Church. I have recently (about two years ago) began to be a Every-Service-Singer at church.
 When I was about eight I began to wirte songs. They weren't that good but I made progress and a few years later, I sing, I songwrite. My problem is, I have Writers Block. I can't breakthrough my shell into the Supernatural to get intouch with the real me to write a song. I have a book of over 20 I have wrote, but I want to write more.
 I've tried listening to music, keeping it quite, etc but no hope!
 I have written 2 songs this week, though. I took Taylor Swift's "Tear Drops on My Guitar" and "Love Story" and made them Pentecostal versions!!!! Like here's one:
 "Holy Ghost Fallin On My Soul"'s chorus:
  Jesus is the reason for the Holy Ghost fallin on my soul, the only one who loves me more than I could ever know, he's the one I keep praisin, I know why I do....he's the reason for the holy ghost fallin on my soul, the only who could ever save this world. He's the Savior, He's the king, he loves me more than I'll ever know, sent his son to die for me..He gamme the Holy Ghost
  And "Testimoney"

And I say...

  Jesus please save me I don't need him nonono, I only need YOUR grace! Lord please save me, put in me ya secret place, when it's my time, take me to that Heavenly place oh, Wash me in your blood, Lord please keep me, help me not to stray. I'll keep praisin I'll keep a followin, cuz Jesus saved me, it's a testimoney I gotta tell oh, yes!

   Hope ya'll liked them! :)

Sad 100th anniversary of the Titanic's crash.

Today (in America, for me is April 14th.) is the day that 100 years ago, people set ut on the Titanic's maiden trip...and most never came back. Of the 1,500 people aboard, only six were saved to tell the story.
 My favorite movie is the Titanic, but it's so sad. Think of babies, children and the 3rd class that the heartless officer men locked away in the water...it's so sad.
 So even though it was 100 years ago, we should pray for their families.

"Save Some For The Imagination" but Should we be Imagining?

Question: People say to Leave things to the imagination but isn't the imagining part the sin??
                                                                      Asked by Hannah in Seattle, Washington
  ANSWER: You're right, in my book, it is. This concept floats in my head nonstop. The elderly and alot of times Modest youngins/middle-age-ins say it. "Leave some to the imagination" But hello, we should NOT be imagining such, me cher! Now, think it out. We leave things to the imagination. But it's a sin to imagine such!
 Why do we say it, why do we believe it?! Yes, COVER UP but do not go off imagining somebody if they were immodestly dressed!
 You hear stories about "Typical Teenage Guys" and all about how they are unloyal and blah blah blah and how they aren't in it for the long haul just a fling etc! But you know, maybe each guy is actually different. Okay example:
  Take 2 guys, a Very Worldly guy & a Born again Apostolic guy are there going to be opposites are or are they going to be the same? Take 2 girls, are they going to be different?
  Now, this is not only a Guy's subgect. The UPC/UPCI religion makes it a standard for a true Pentecostal boy/guy/man to wear a shirt with sleeves and to atleast wear a shirt at all. Isn't that "leaving things to the imagination"? Yes, it'd be classified as so.
 Should we gals and guys be sitting around imagining what is to be left alone? Why no, last time I thought it over it wasn't!
 We should be praying agaisnt these things Satan's throwing at us! No, I'm not perfect but tell me you are??
 Okay we may devote our lives not to seeing anything but go to Wal-Mart and walk around for a hour. You're garunteed to see atleast three shirts having so low that it's barely a thread and shorts that are half a thread. You'll see baggy pants flashing underwear.
  So contemplate on this!
 Yes, leave things to the imagintation.... but  don't  imagine!!

Anyone ever started this kind of business?

 I love to do hair accesorries with flowers and feathers and recently my mom figured out how to do the cloth twirl flowers. As I told my Mama, we could make a small extra  income!
 With mama's twirl flowers and a plain ole dress. Sew them flowers onto the dress and sell, and we could make a good profit...right? And I could sell the hair accessories I make, we could sell as a set, or separate.
 Have you or someone you know did this?
Comment!!! ;)

Could I be a Pentecostal Rap artist?

 Okies, I don't really listen to rap music alot, but, I am very good with lyrics. So, I came up with a few. After listenin to a song, I came up with a rap to go with it. I was trying to come up with a Drama Skit to go wih it, and this is what I decided to end it with! But, I have no start to it, if I just wanted to rap it alone. That way COE (my youth group) could reach more kids.

I am holy, I am holy. Yes. From this old Cato's skirt to my Goodwill shirt, I am holy. From "I'm A Pentecostal" my favorite song to sing, to this prayer that asks God to be with me! That's this way I was born and I was raised, with my parents giding me each step of the way. I am holy. I'm not afraid, not ashamed, to say I'm Holy. He died for me so I'll live for HIM. He died but nows he has risen again. From the news I'll spread far and wide to the Gal standin by myside. I'm A Holy Ghost filled Pentecostal saint, if you are, or even if you aint, praise HIM, He's our master, He is our King. Now I'm gonna let these gals sang! ....
from the front pew, she'll pray em through
run the aisles, in her Modest styles. She'll shout her hair pins down and even her box from Quaker's Oatmeal! He's holy, ya holy, I'm holy, she holy!
Them on the front pews, we needa pray em through! Them in the middle, them in back, don't think now, but you ain't gettin no slack. Don't leave here til you prayed through and tell old Satan how ya through. Don't move a foot, just pray where ya stand, take a second to thank THE MAN who gave it all to you, and I can promise you He will bring you through. So, come to the altar, come with me, I'll pray with you and so will they. C'mon up for just one drop of HIS blood, even if you're cleansed enough. He will love, He'll never give up.
So c'mon up and get a Soul Station free fill up!
        Well, is it good? I am a Southern Gospel girl and I usally don't rap but this kinda came to me.  I mean, is it any good at all? I need a start to it, so suggestions?
 Thanks,

Dainty Jewells Overview

I love Dainty Jewels (daintyjewells.com). I love love love, but it's pricier than I like. I'm a cheap skate and I am not willing to pay $40 for a whole outfit. The most I've spent on clothes this year has been....$10 for a few plaid shirts (my weakness!) and a blue-jean skirt from Goodwill. The most last year was my $20 red heels (Also from Goodwill, but they were brand-spankin new! :)
 But if your budget is big or allowing you a splurge..well honey head to Dainty Jewells.
 I did find a vintage lacy shirt for $15, but, sadly, it was a medium and I'm a XL.
 On another hand, here's my *AWESOME-ITY FINDS* a new section of AOAB.
*AWESOME-ITY FINDS*: Betseyville. Simply search it on Dainty Jewells. I like the ruffles, which minimize our tummies. We big gals need fashion we can hide with in and still be beautiful, Me Cher! I alos LOVE LOVE LOVE the Britt. It is a skirt with a BIG [detacheable] bow in the leg. Ader-ble! I am also in Love with "Late Morning" it is simple yet so elegant! I wouldn't mind wearing this to camp meeting, being that I go to a small country church. Okay, now for our menly men; you can search JAS TIES which is the...er...brother site!
 *AT A GLANCE* Very sweet beautful clothing for any gal, Pentecostal or not who wants to be a Modestia (say it with me, mod-ee-stah ;)  I love their shoes. But, I can not decide for you so take a look, Honey Dew.
 This is only a view of my opinion, as you may think something TOTALLY different. And if so, just comment and tell me your views.
   Til we meet again,
 ~~Louisiana Modestia~~
P.S. I will soon have a email up that will come straight to me (Louisiana Modestia) if you want tme to feature your styles or do an interview. That'll be up soon! :)

What about the Pentecostal Men Clothing?

  Som as we search for our Apostolic clothing, we hardly see manly clothing! Well, I know a few places you can find them! Apostolic Clothing  is one of my favorites because you can find man and woman, boy and girl clothing there.
 If you have a brother, a father, a boyfriend, a BGF (bust guy friend) or a husband, a son, etc, you probably want to buy them something cheap and sylish not to mention SHGPA [Siantified-Holy-Ghost-Pastor-Approved]. So here are a few items from all around the world you might like!
 Truro this jacket is a white, clean, fresh (to say if I was going Hip Hop on you!). The colors come in Black, brown, coal and white. It has a vertical collar in the front, with a turtle neck design and runched sleeves with four buttons in the front also. Very handsome persay, but it's $48.95. It's worth the price, being good quality.
 Long sleve polo with Plaid Contrast It's cute in every way. For starters, it's got 3/4 runched sleeved. It's nice and the colors are red and white. I like the Country fit, so to call it, and a stand up collar. It's hard to explain so check it out, ma cher*. It's $38.95 plus shipping.
                                                                          ~~For the Children!~~
Okay, wether it's guy or gal your looking for, it's sweeter than pie! I love La-Vonnee cause it's stylish an I wish I could wear this stuff.
 The Boy clothing comes from 3m to 4t.
Retro Suit it's a size 4t, and it's $29. It's plaid, bubbles, and all kids of sweet stuff.
Sailor Away it's asize 6-12m Sailor suit. C'mon, Cher, every one needs a sailor suit! It's $26.
Green Pinstripe This is a Sunday-Go-to-Meeting suit, and it is adorable. It's light/minty green. It has your old fashioned knickers and Poppy-hat. It's Size 3t and $33.
                                                                    ~~~OVER ALL~~~
 So,  just conduct a search for Apostolic LADY clothing and it will most likely have a man/boy section. I would try Walmart or a local goodwill. I find most of our stuff at garage sales and thrift stores. Also, I would try some of the links on the past pages.  Apostolic Pride has adorable clothing with "I'm a Long Haired Skirt Girl" and "Old-School Church Boy" tees.
 So, if your wonderin' what Ma Cher* meant, it means this: "My Dear" in Louisiana Cajun French. When your a born and raised Louisiana Steel Magnolia or even just a Louisiana Aluminum Camilla, you catch on to your roots and say it like you live it, with grace and power.
 After all, everybody loves a Cajun Gal! ;)

Pentecostal Apperal!

  Ok, so last week, I was looking to find something I wanted for my birthday...I simply searched "Apostolic Clothing" on Bing.com {my favorite search engine. I won't use anything else!}. Well, I came across www.PentecostalApperal.com. Well, I got to looking on it, and aaaaaaaaaaw I seen the "At a Glance" and "Kiss Me Goodbye" skirts. I knew I had fallen in love.
  So, I totally forgot where to get the skirts and ended up conducting a 2-3 day search for the skirts. Yes, I had to. Doesn't seem right, me forgoting soemthing THAT important. If you could see me, I am laughing my hair down, and that is very hard to do.
  Here is an overveiw of WWW.PENTECOSTALAPPERAL.COM:
 At a Glance: So, they have their very own newsletter called "The Empress" I haven't signed up yet so I don't know if it's helpful or not. I do love the opening letter on Home page. They have pictures of real people in the clothing so you know what would be cute and they have an assortment of clothing colors. SHIRTS: They come in FOUR COLORS with four different flower colors. SKIRT: They come in four colors (Polka, black, blue, red) and the flowers come in THREE arrangements and FIVE colors (red, black, white, purple, blue).
 Rating: I give them !!!FIVE STARS!!! They are all around beautiful and I think they deserve some praise! I don't see anything wrong with the site or clothing.
  So check them out. I like them and You will to, my friend! Just take a look. You will fall in love!

 Loves, Ma Cher :D

Custom-Hair-Accessories!

 I love to make hair accesorries. They are not that high-class but they make me happy.
 My dad and I have chickens, and I love our Silver-Laced-Wondotte feathers. They are speckled and they look great {in my opinion}.
 They way I make them are really simple.
YOU'LL NEED:
Feathers!
Cloth flowers (the kind from a dollarstore [the kind that goes on a grave!] or walmart)
Clue, super or Elmers is good.
Ribbon, optional.
A head band,
a clip of some sort
or safety pin.
Small sheet of felt (like from a craft aisle.)
 First, I gather my feathers (or buy them from Hobby Lobby or somewhere like that). I sanitize the gathered feathers by boiling them in VERY hot water.  Next, I dry them off.
 I cut a very small square from my page of felt. The size should be about 1 inch by 1 inch.
Put a layer of glue on the TOP of the felt square. Arrange your feathers. Now, add glue onto your flower you're going to use [put glue on BACK SIDE if flower].  Put flower on your featers. When it's dried, put it either on a pin, ribbon or head band. Let dry and you can wear it with pride!
