| argh sorry it's been so long....lack of internet and a complicated couple of months....plus a lack of knowing what to say.....hope ya have all been well | | |
| Hey ya'll...I guess since it's been about six weeks since
I last updated that it's time to say something. Trouble is
that I really don't have a whole lot to say. We're doing good..
staying busy with dishes, diapers, laundry, work, playgrounds,
and stuff like that. Little ones have a way of just taking it out
of you. They're a real joy too. We spent the day at a cool zoo
that had all the cool animals. (No pandas though) Anyway...the
weather was perfect...the boys had a good time...(mom and dad
too). It was nice to get out of the house and away from my daily
routine. Today I'm very grateful that the Lord does not give you
more than we can handle....although at the time it seems that
you're gonna fall flat on your face...somehow after awhile you
find yourself on the other side of the storm. That's the part I
like...also being armed with the lesson you just learned...you
know (at least I hope so) that you probably wont be going
through that particular struggle again. Ok there are a few things
that I just don't seem to get no matter how often times I'm
challenged with it. I haven't quite figured out why yet. Anyway...
I hope ya'll are having a great day and that Jesus has been on
your mind and in your heart. Thanks for your posts....it's nice
to stay in touch.
P.S. I know it's a little early for Christmas music...but I love
this album and listened to it the entire year I was all alone
up in Pa. Track 5 is especially dear to me...'sleep in heavenly
peace' some nights I just can't sleep and listening to this
track just takes me to a place that Jesus is and I can almost
feel His arms around me.

| I wish I could say that I didn't...but for those of you who have known me since way back when you know that mondays are not my days. No matter what it is that takes of my time on this particular day of the week I always seem to struggle with the blues, blahs, whatever you want to call it. Maybe it's the sleeping in over the weekends that get me I don't know. Anyway...I had a positve moment yesterday when I was able to remain seated the entire way through ladies sunday school. (The first time in about a year and a half) It was challenging - with my 18 month old threatening to load his britches and my 3 year spilling his entire bowel of cereal all over the floor (bowel included)- and then threatened to have a melt down cause his 'snack was all dirty'. I kept looking heavenward in my mind and asking God to please get my back. And I'm glad to say that He was faithful. To all of you out there fighting the good fight God's blessings to ya and may you have a unblue day.

| For the next twelve hours I will be exposed to
the day's demands. It is now that I must
make a choice. Because of Calvary, I'm free
to choose. And so I choose.
I will refuse to see any problem as
anything less than an opportunity to see God.
I will be overlooked before I will boast.
I refuse to let what will rot, rule the eternal.
I will be taught by only Jesus Christ.
Love, joy peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, and self control.
To these I commit my day.
If I succeed, I will give thanks.
If I fail, I will seek His grace.
And then, when this day is done,
I will place my head on my pillow
and rest. | | |
| Ok-here goes you guys...this is my first post ever....I can't promise anything. I'll be lucky if you're reading anything at all.
Had a great weekend hanging out with friends that I've know my whole life. That to me is 5 star pleasure you guys. Life takes you so many places but there is something so special about hanging out with the people that helped make life bearable back in the day. In some ways I was a little nervous about it all. I feel like I've changed so much from who I was back then. But I found that they have changed too...but only in the things that really matter. They're improving their lives....their relationships with Christ, etc. I would've gladly spent a few more days there hanging out and catching up.
Home is good though. Although I can't say today has went all that smoothly. I'll leave out the details but lets just say I quite aggressively questioned my reasons for being here (on earth) as well as my sanity. I felt like I was looking up from a bottomless pit through the only opening there was and all I could see was more garbage being dumped my way. I called a friend who has quite often lended me a listening ear and sound christian advise. Thank you girl -I greatly appreciate you.
So today...with all that I have to be thankful for- I am most thankful for the friends that God has given and that through them I have been able to learn so much. And with that comes the hope of learning more.
