A Great Day!

I hope you all had a great weekend and are gearing up for the BIG weekend! We had such a great day at church on Sunday. It was homecoming and the first time for us eating in the new building. I wouldn't know exactly how the eating went because one of my children woke up throwing up on Sunday morning. I did the music and fixed us a plate and ate at home with them. There were over 100 people and everyone really enjoyed themselves. Check out this video we showed. Jamie beat me to the punch so it is on his blog. It is a little long, but well worth your time. Have a great rest of your day!

A Thanksgiving Classic

We have been playing Christmas music in our house and it is about to drive my husband CRAZY!!! He refuses to listen to it before Thanksgiving. This post is just show that I do love all things Thanksgiving. Wanted to post Adam Sandler's Thanksgiving song, but too many bad words. Cliff and Theo will just have to do! BTW, I do just like Christmas more!

Just Checking In

I know all 2 of my faithful blog readers have been wondering where I have been. Well, just busy I guess. I am ready for the short week next week and of course all the shopping!!! Over the weekend I did get a bladder infection Yeah!!! For any of you who have had one, you know the agony and needless to say, I did not feel much like doing anything, but I persevered and ended up at the "Doc in the Box" after church on Sun. Thank the Lord I am on the way to recovery. Just a side note, if you have a Publix in your area, the offer FREE generic prescriptions on certain antibiotics. MY doctor graciously prescribed me one of them!!!

Anyway, Friday Jamie and I were supposed to go to the high school playoff game, but it got rained out so we went on a semi-date night. I say semi because we went computer shopping for Jamie a new laptop. I would post a great pic of the new equipment, but our camera died. The battery compartment cover crumbled. It is 5 years old and we cannot complain, but I do not know what I am going to do without a camera! You can click here to see Jamie's post on it.

Just to close, I am participating in the Siesta Ornament exchange(if you want to know what that is click the banner on the sidebar.) I have been hooked up with a great gal from California. She is a great gal, and I have enjoyed getting to know her via email and blog. She sent me an e-card today that had the verse "Be still and know that I am God." That hit me like a ton of bricks. Especially when you wake up to discover red crayon all over the clothes in the dryer, a few days ago your camera breaks and oh yeah, Christmas is coming and how are we going to get gifts? I could go on and on, but God spoke in His still small voice to me saying, it's okay, I will take care of it!! I am so glad that God gives us those little reminders that He is God and as I heard on the radio the other day, that, "God has the ultimate bailout package. All the resources are His." Thanks for checking in, I will try to do better updating this week! Have a great day!

It's Better to Give...

I am so proud of my kids. Monday when I came home from taking HB to dance, Kaylee was outside in the dark with the rake. Before you call DSS, Jamie was out in the new building where this week they are putting in the electrical work. She proceeded to tell me that she and her brother were raking up the church yard. I told her, "You know you aren't going to get anything for doing that right?" To that she replied,"I know." (Keep in mind that most of the time this is the child who is always looking out for herself first.) She then said, "Big people do things for the church why can't us kids." To that I replied, "Well carry on then." They finished gathering all the leaves on Tuesday so I had to snap some photos.
We have so much to learn from our children. How many times have I only done something because of what it was going to get me in return. We have been trying so hard to work on the selfish attitude with Kaylee, and maybe just maybe we have had a turning point. Will she always do it, no, but it is a gigantic step in the right direction. We could all learn a lesson from the leaves this fall. Do you know someone who needs their yard raked? Why not as a family get out there and rake their yard. What an example of serving others. I promise it will speak volumes!!!!

Lessons Learned

God showed me something profound in my quiet time this morning. I try to read a Proverb a day and I felt like I should read something else as well and God led me to the book of Philemon. God showed me a little truth in verses 4 and 5.
Listen to this, "I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers, because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints."

That phrase,"I hear about your faith" struck me this morning. Can others say that about me, that they hear about my faith? As I have now launched into Facebook and am making contact with people from high school and college can they say that they have heard about my faith. Am I making every effort to use my blog and Facebook to encourage and share my faith with those who choose to read it?

We as Christians are called to bring Jesus wherever we go even onto our blogs, Facebook, My Space, Youtube or wherever we go in cyberspace and the real world. Can you honestly say today that people hear about your faith? For me it is sometimes but I want my answer to be honestly be yes!! Will you take Him WHEREVER you go? Let's hold each other accountable.

This is my prayer today. "I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ. Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brothers(and sisters), have refreshed the heart of THIS SAINT." (Philemon 6-7 emphasis mine)

Frustrated with Facebook

Friday night while Jamie was at the Williston-Elko game, I decided that I wanted to try Facebook that everyone is raving about. Well, I am not all that thrilled. Yes it is a neat way to catch up with everyone. One of my college roommates said she has been looking for me on there and was glad that I finally got on there. Anyway, I was trying to make a photo album of the kids and every time I try to add photos to the album, it closes the entire browser. I have doe this several times and it is just so frustrating. I want to be able to have photos up there, but if it keeps this up, I will have to give up on Facebook. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know! I hope you all had a great day!
Until then, I will remain frustrated with Facebook.
