It's Friday...

and the week has just blown by. It's amazing how the days tend to flow together. I remember when I was younger that the days seemed to be disconnected, now they seem to flow together.

Bart & I just wrapped an interview with Ronald McDonald and it sure was great to talk with the world's most famous clown! He really is down to earth and so much fun to talk with. He's going to be throwing the opening day first pitch for our farm league tomorrow so that is real exciting. I am so glad that we were able to work with McDonalds and make that happen! I have to admit, I'm not looking forward to being out at the ballfield at 0730, but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.

The kids went back to school on Wednesday & Logan Michael has come home with "red light letters" the past two days. That is very frustrating & I really am not sure how to respond to his behavior issue. I'm trying not to focus on the fact that he is not listening in school, but rather asking why...to this I have no answer. I just hope that we are able to keep a positive outlook on the situation.

OK...so I have to share some amazing events that have happened in the past week. First of all we havee been praying that we would find carpet in our price range for the kids rooms & we have. Both rooms w/ instilation and all for under $700! I'm so excited!!!! The carpet is getting put in on Monday, the 19th. Second thing we needed was to find 2 twin size beds, matress & box springs, for a reasonable price. God is so good, we now have 2 twin size beds that were given to us & they are in great condition! What an awesome blessing. Third thing that has been great, Mike is working as a project manager on a job and that is allowing him to give work to people, like my Dad, who is currently unemplyed. So that is great!

It's really neat to see God in my life. I am very thankful for all of the provisions in my life. Hope that you have a great weekend & enjoy your life & your family.

~Peace & Blessings~

When you ask...

Jesus to use you, be ready! I knew when I completely surrendered my life to Christ that it would be a challenge and not easy. (Romans 7:25) Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature[a] a slave to the law of sin. I honestly thought that I had no comfort zone, but it seems that every time I get "comfortable", God changes the direction in which I am going or He intercedes personally by allowing me to encounter a life that is going through a struggle, and it "interferes" with "my life". So I have come to the understanding I will never be comfortable, and I am becoming OK with that. I have also come to realize that if I am in a state of being comfortable, then I am not growing spiritually. (Psalm 119:2) Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart Last night during Bible study as we were going over the passage in Ephesians 4,...

Discipline In Discipleship

Accepting Jesus Christ as Savior is easy. We learn at a young age that Jesus is knocking at our hearts and is asking to enter in. We sing songs of God's love. We so very quickly accept God's forgiveness when we sin. We can justify our actions through Jesus loving us as we are. Following Jesus as Master and Teacher is hard. Again, we learn at a young age that the world is a cold, cruel place. We view hatred on TV and social media. To forgive when we have been wronged is almost impossible. To put another person's needs before ours is practically unheard of. To understand someone else's actions takes too much effort. Jesus never said being a follower would be easy. As a matter of fact, he said that it would be a narrow road that few would be able to travel. "S o in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you,   for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.  “Enter through the narrow gate.  For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to...

Inside Outside

Why do we view sins as not so bad, bad, and really bad? I have been thinking a lot about this over the past week. Isn't sin, sin? Are we to judge as God judges? God's word says; "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." -Romans 3:23 My sins, and they are many, are not better or worse than yours or your neighbors - or anyone else's for that matter. So who are we to pass judgement on another? Why spew contentment and hate when we know what another person's sin is? Isn't God's forgiveness and love for them just as much as it is for us? There is no "them" and "us" in the eyes of God so we need to stop dividing people up into these two categories. " Dear friends, let us love one another,  for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God  and knows God.   Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.   This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son  into the wor...
