Not as addicting as I thought...

I really thought that I would be on here typing something new daily, but I've been busy and haven't had much to say. Later in the day of my last post, I was sick with a GI bug and spent the next 24 hours in bed. I had asked the Lord to let me stay home and He answered my prayers, just not in the way I had wanted! It took me almost a week to recover, I felt like I had undergone another C/Section as my stomach was so sore, but I'm back in the groove again and trying to enjoy the here and now, not what might happen in the future.

I have really been blessed by The Lord's Table study at www.settingcaptivesfree.com The Lord is growing me and showing me that food gets in the way of my fellowship with Him. It is my goal to put Him first and food last...to feast off of Him and His Word daily.

I have also been blessed by keeping up with Nate, Tricia and baby Gwyneth. God is so good and is working miracles in this family's lives. I've listed Nate's blog here on my page. My friend Wendy, whose blog is also listed here, is such an encouragement to me. She continues to rely on the Lord to get her through each day in the absence of her dear husband who went home to be with the Lord almost three years ago. Both Nate and Wendy are honest with what they are feeling and where the Lord is leading them. Their lives are open books for the world to see and a testimony to our awesome, loving God.

I am going to post some pictures of my children and of Sarah...tonight, Lord willing. Don't know when I'll be back again, but as the Lord allows I'll keep on blogging along!

Crazy Week!!!!

Sarah turned two back on Tuesday, February 5th. We have been so busy that we did not have a true Birthday party for her, yet! She has gotten several "boo-boos" since she turned two! Tuesday night, near the end of Stephen's basketball game, she fell off of the bottom bleacher and sustained two little cuts on her head, one above her right ear, which began to swell and required ice, the other a couple inches away from that one on the back of her head. She is such a little trooper! Friday morning she saw the doctor for her two year check-up, she weighs a whopping 20 pounds 4 ounces...we were sure she would weigh in at around or over 21 pounds. On the way out to our homeschool co-op yesterday morning, she tripped and fell on the sidewalk. She went all the way down and scraped her little face on the cement! Her poor head! She now has scrapes on her forehead, nose, upper lip and knuckles on her right hand. Then this morning, she has already fallen a couple of times, but with no lasting injuries! My poor baby girl! I will post a few pictures, when I find my camera!

What a hectic week! I have been either on the phone, the computer, or running around all week! We had a teacher's luncheon at WCCS on Thursday, which I was responsible for planning, and the LIGHT co-op started on Friday afternoon, which I head up. In addition, I worked 3p-7p on Thurs. evening and 7p-11p last night, I came down with a cold...fever, headache, sinus discomfort! But God is good and has kept me going. I was really blessed this morning when I did my Lord's Table Bible study. I thought I was a day behind as I did not get to complete it last night...I started working on it around midnight, and my dh encouraged me to go to bed, so I did. Well, the Lord wanted me to do it today so that He could humble me and speak to me when I was much more receptive to Him. Ouch! I sure do need to rest in and on Him rather than myself. I can do nothing on my own, although I sure do try! I cannot even cause my own heart to keep on beating, why do I think that I can control everything else??

I am looking forward to a more relaxing weekend to get caught up on things that have been neglected here at home...bills, housework, loving my family, to name a few! Thank You, Lord for bringing us safely through another week and giving Sarah another year of health and growth.
