Another One Down!

Noah lost his first front tooth last night. Of course the battery in the camera is dead so I had to take the picture with my phone. The quality is not great but you can get the idea. Loosing a tooth is always so exciting! Have a great day!

A New Day!

Today is a new day! Aren't we glad that God allows us to start fresh everyday. What a mess I would be in if I couldn't! This week starts a busy time in our life. We start Co-Ed softball tomorrow night and Jamie and I are both playing, we have meetings just about every night, not to mention that dreaded thing called school.
I know that school should not be a dread, but that is what it is to me right now. Please pray that God will reveal what we are supposed to do. I really struggle with this on a daily basis. Also, finances this month are tight for the last week and a half. With the extra trips and paying taxes(as a pastor Jamie is considered self-employed and we have to pay quarterly.) God has never let us down before but it is always a hard week and a half.
As I read in my Believing God study this morning that I will bless the Lord no matter what. His praise will CONTINUALLY be on my lips.
With all that said, I pray that your Monday goes well. "I will Bless the Lord at ALL times."
Love you!

Our Pitiful Bulldogs :(

This is how Saturdays should be spent! Today we just hung out around the house, done a little work and laundry and spent the rest of the day watching football.
Yes, I am a gal who LOVES football. We spent the first part of our football day watching the PITIFUL Mississippi State Bulldogs get pummeled by the Georgia Tech Yellow jackets. Jamie and I have come to the conclusion that our team is sorry. It got to the point today that I would just laugh when we messed up to keep from crying! We may not win another game this year. Next week we play LSU, then Vandy, then TN and the list goes on and on. We have come to expect this as State fans, but always hope it never comes. Oh well another day in the life of a Mississippi State fan!
I hope you all had a great day and have a great day in the house of the Lord tomorrow. Love you!

God Stop Friday

I know, I know, I know, it has been a while. If you could have only walked with me this week, you would understand.

Thanks to Patty for hosting God Stop Friday!

This week has been a roller coaster ride. Monday we were doing great until I got in the car to take Hannah Beth to ballet(this is her first year and LOVES it), and the air did not work at all. We rode to a neighboring town about 20 minutes away in 95degree heat with no air. It was miserable! Jamie took it in the shop the next day and we had to replace the air compressor. Nothing like having to put your new to you car in the shop after having it for only 2 months! God provided us not having to pay the entire amount, but the amount we did have to pay, we had to put on the CC that we are trying to pay off! There have been a lot of other financial strains this month already on top of the car.

Then on Thursday Jarrett fell and we had to take him to get 3 stitches in his head(see previous post). In the midst of all this we are still schooling which is a totally another post.

Right now I think that God is showing me that I must totally trust Him. If I don't my life will crumble. I have had a peace throughout this week that He is going to pay for everything, but it still weighs on you.

Thank you God that You are sufficient to take care of everything in my life as long as I rely on You. Please help me to continue to give all to You!

Gashes and Stitches

Well yesterday was an adventure to say the least. The kids and I were in the kitchen doing schoolwork when I heard Jarrett crying, I mean screaming in the back. I ran back there and scooped him up only to find blood coming down the side of his face. I took him in the bathroom and saw a pretty big gash. I called Jamie and the his pediatrician. They told me to bring him right in.

Have you ever been in a hurry with an emergency like that and go out of the door not caring what you look like? That was me. (when I got to the doc office and went to the restroom, I looked in the mirror and saw someone with ratty clothes and no makeup. At least I had brushed my teeth.(it was about 11:00)) Back to the story, I jumped in the car and headed t the docs which is about 20 minutes away. I got behind every slow person. I went the back way so that I could drive a little faster, because I had heard somewhere that is you don't get gashes stitched up within a certain amount of time, they couldn't stitch them up. I was going to pass this UPS truck and it went in the middle of the road so I couldn't pass. How rude I thought, so I turned on my flashers. Jamie told me later that night that it wasn't that much of an emergency, but you know us Mom's!

The doc examined him and said that he would need 2 stitches. He ended up using the big stitches and it took 3. Y'all he had gashed it open to the skull! Sorry for those of you who have weak stomachs. He is fine and doing better, but last night I wasn't too sure. He was very dazed and tired. God protected him, because he could have easily cracked his skull. This is my little man's injury.

The doc told me to keep neosporen and a band aid on it, but of course we had no little ones and this is the best I could do.

Stay tuned to the next exciting adventure in"A Day in the Life......

(this is Jarrett making his silly eyes!)

Back to the Grind

Mondays are always hard aren't they! They are especially hard if you have had some time away from your daily routine. I tell you I was not ready to come home at all!!! The time always goes by too fast. My man and I had a good time away and had some great discussions. We got to preview the new movie Fireproof that is coming out Sept.26. All I have to say is that if you are married or thinking of getting married, it is a MUST!!! The movie is done by the makers of Facing the Giants. Unlike FTG, Fireproof is dealing with adult marriage issues that would not be great for little ones. Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that Kirk Cameron from Growing Pains is in the movie too! Please, please, please support this movie! Even if you NEVER go to the movies (like us) make it a point to go on opening weekend and see this movie. Take your lost friends with you as it clearly gives the gospel message. If I haven't peaked your interest enough, watch this! They told us at the preview that Kirk Cameron was not paid for doing this movie and at the end, there is a kissing scene where they flew his wife in so that he would not kiss anyone but his own wife. This movie was done with great integrity and as I said before it is a MUST. I hope you have a great day! Love you all!

Greetings All

We made it home from our trip. I will post more about it later. Check yesterday's post from my man. This is awesome. More times than not, things don't just happen, they happen over time. I will give more background on it later. I hope you have a great rest of your Lord's day! Talk to you later!
