Lots to do

I have so much to do yesterday I had zero energy I can't even explain how tired I was I felt I was dragging myself around all day. So I prayed much before bed last night and woke up feeling a bit better this morning and a bit earlier. Today I have to catch up for my lack of energy yesterday. I am going to post pics of our homemade fathers day cards soon as 4yr old finishes up:) We had fun making homemade cards for all the men in the family:) I didn't get pics of all of them before mailing them yesterday so they would make it in time but I can show pics of the ones we do for daddy:) Well I am off God Bless all of you and make it a great day!

Thought for the day- What small thing can we do today to share God's Love with others? Watch for the opportunities in your day with your kids and with neighbors you never know when the Lord is going to put something or someone right in front of you. Go with God! Till later

Things to think about

Oh the things we have to think about right now, I cant go into detail but would appreciate prayers for hearing God's will and which way to go...I will go into detail further later once the decision is over but for now God's will and direction prayers will be greatly appreciated.

I can tell you that I have been working to become less of a packrat lol....I am cleaning out closets and boxes and trying to detach myself from the "if I lost a bit of weight I could wear that" mentality and getting to the " I dont want to have so much stuff in my closets so cleaning is not so difficult" mentality....clearing the clutter!

Well I have much to do yet have to prep dinner, make a loaf of quickbread, make cookies if time and do some laundry folding. Take care all and God Bless...

God Spared Me.....

Hello all,
I was extremely humbled by our Lord this week. A lightning storm rolled through our small town which it struck a house, a 14 yr old boy and our trees/jeep. All are fine thanks to the protection of our wonderful Lord. The ladys house that was hit was extinguished quickly and will be repaired, the young man is alive and well going home soon and our Jeep was fried but no fire or anything and I was standing about 60 feet from where the lightning bolt struck...It was the scariest thing I have ever experienced in my life. I am posting pictures for you to see the one that shows a clearing and a water faucet is where I was standing the first set of tall trees in the back ground is where it struck. Thank you Jesus for allowing me to be here with my family and the reminder to take nothing for Granted. I have new resolve to be a better person and to share Jesus' love for us with everyone.

So much has happened

Well at last post I was working on getting off all the medications I am proud and blessed to say I am off all Prescription Medication! It took a long time and was a rough spot in life to say the least but now I am feeling better and working to get back to normal. I still have some pain but with the Lord and some tylenol it is manageable. I was re-baptized on February 15 2009. Why re-baptized....well a lot has happened in my life and my eyes were opened to the fact that my heart may not have been where it should have been when I was baptized in highschool when I was 15. I think my faith has grown so much and the Lord spoke to me when they were offering it spur of the moment 2 weeks ago at church. I am commited to setting a better example for my children and living a better life for the Lord and my family. I still have many struggles ahead however With God this will all work out.
We have all been sick this week even now I am struggling with a head cold an no energy but so much to do. We all but my son had the stomach flu this week. Hubby started Sunday, I started Tuesday and my daughter had it starting wednesday. Its been a rough few days but I think once we all feel better things will look up. My wonderful hubby helped me stay caught up around here the last few days as he never vomitted and I couldnt get off the couch and didnt know which end to point so to speak.... so I stayed down for 2 days which all moms know what that can do to a house if no one is taking care of it and the worst thing is to get feeling better only to be surrounded by your new project LOL...cleaning up the mess!
But thanks to his help I just have to clean up from yesterday and continue on with things. Well I better get ready for the day the little ones will be up soon and have to start the day. Take care all
