My internet has been down since Tuesday.  Back on line today. Didn't have the boys today because they went to see their dad.  Hope they had a good visit.  I will get them tomorrow.
Been extremely lazy today.  Last week was really a trying week.  Pray next week is calmer.
God bless you all.  Going back to bed in a little while.

Beautiful!

Got home from work last night and found a brand new painted kitchen.  Thanks to Norma, Wesley, Rachel and James.  They came over and painted my kitchen while I was at work yesterday.  Is that a good deed or what.  I love it.  I pray God bless them back abundantly.

I thank you all for praying for me.  I fee a lot better but still pretty washed out.  Talking a little better.  My chest is still bothering me somewhat but prayerfully that will go away soon.

My unspoken request turned out okay. Praise God.

I pray everyone is well.

Need Prayer

I need prayer.  I am sick.  I have been sick all week.  I can hardly talk and my chest is stuffy and have sinus pressure.  I have also had a terrible time with my knee.  I used my cane most of the day yesterday. 
I made my work week.  Praise the Lord but I will have the boys all day tomorrow.  I love my little boys but I barely made the two hours Thursday so I will definitely need prayer for a full day.  My patience is not as good when I am sick.

Glenda,  I am praying for Perry.  I have been reading Posts and comments I just have not signed in to comment myself.  I have spent most of the time when not at work in bed.  I pray they find nothing amiss and he gets a good report.

Need to go to the store and get the kids some milk for tomorrow but I think I'll go to bed and get it in the morning before they come.

I pray all have a good night.  I love you.
God is good.

God Made Me

My Value comes in God's affirmation of me.
  So if people reject me, I still have worth.
So if my mate rejects me, I still have worth.
  So if my child rejects me, I still have worth.
So if me employer rejects me, I still have worth.
  My worth is not in what I do or say,
     in what I acquire or own,
     in what I invent or create.
It's in me ---a unique person, created by God.

by Harold Ivan Smith

Amen.

An Alexander Day

Today I will quote Alexander.  "Today was a terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day!!"
It was wild and woolly at work.  The only calm all day was nap and due to party time that was shorter than usual.  I think I'll move to Australia!!! LOL!   No just on my way to bed.  No more movement tonight!  No more noise, fussing, fighting, screaming or running.!! Quiet~!

Happy Valentine's Day to all!  Hope Alexander's day was far from you!
Love and prayers.

I Made It

Training class done!  It was good but way too long. It was about Conscience Discipline.  It really was good.  I wish I had had the education when Bethany was little.  It would have been so much better for her and probably better for me.  The first step is in changing yourself and how you react.  I really wish I could work into it or at least some of it.  I think maybe some of it is a little overboard but a really good theory.

We were in the same room all day except for lunch so it was too much sitting on my old bones and I ended up with a sinus headache.  I came home, ate supper and went to bed.  I woke up about 8.  Think I am gonna go lay back down though still don't feel too great.  I will have the boys tomorrow.

Pray everyone had a good day.  I pray for a good night and a blessed day tomorrow.
Love you all!

Just Sittin' Here

I was laying down watching MacGyver and when it went off I came up here to check the temp.  I have to turn on the electric heater in the back bathroom if it gets below freezing.  Set down at the computer as I passed by.  Was gonna finish my Doublecross game I had left started.  Wasn't too interested in it ao I picked up one of my gleanings notebooks I have sitting here by the desk.  Flipping through several things caught my attention.  God is so good.  Wanted to share a few.

God's promises are not conditioned upon our adequacy but upon His unfailing faithfulness!  God is good!

...God is the strength of my heart and my portion....It is good for me to draw near to God.... Ps. 73:26b, 28a

Ps. 73:23-26, 28 (NLT)
23) Yet I still belong to You; You hold my right hand.
24) You guide me with Your council, leading me to a glorious destiny.
25) Who have I in heaven but You?  I desire You more than anything on earth.
26) My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; He is mine forever.
28) But as for me, how good is it to be near God!  I have made the Sovereign Lord my shelter, and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things You do.

Amen God is good.

Pray for Bethany.  She called a little while ago and needs prayer.  Thanks.

I pray tomorrow is a good day for us all.  I have a training class 9 to 5.

Waiting For Jaxon

I am just sitting here waiting for Jaxon to come.  Things have been so crazy lately.  The weather has everything mixed up but finally yesterday was back to work all mixed with school closings and delays but today should be business as usual.  Thank the Lord.  It is good to be back to work and hopefully the bad weather is OVER. 
Hope everyone has a happy, good and blessed day!!

Slow Day

This has been a very slow day.  I hate to admit it but I have spent the majority of the day sitting in front of the TV.  I did get my dishes done and cleaned out a ton of papers.  I ran to Big Lots to pick up some batteries and then back to the TV.  Couch potato slow today.  I pray It is off to work tomorrow.  Two reasons.  One I hope to shake the lazies a little and two I NEED THE MONEY.  I have already missed three days and 1 hour on my next pay period so I hope I will work all next week. 
I really need prayer.  I have the Ho Hums.  Still trouble with my chest.
Hope everyone had a good time with their Super Bowl plans.
God is good and I pray all is well.
Love and prayers.

See What I Found

Look at her go. 

We had a lot of fun on this sister weekend!!

I love you, Sisters!!!!!

This week has been rather solitaire around here.  Sister company would have been nice.  We could have made a snowman?

Hi Ho Hi Ho Back to work I go.

Today was back to work.  Praise God.  I enjoyed my days off but I REALLY need to work.  2 missed days wouldn't be so bad except I don't think I have had a full 80 hour check since October or definitely mid November.  Things were  kinda crazy today since PISD was closed.  I had a mix of my class and grade school all morning and then I napped a mix of my class and the Honeybees for nap.  Then after nap it was back to my class and grade school then early off at 4.
I went and picked up the boys from Blossoms and we had a good visit.  It was hard getting them in and out of the car with all the surrounding ice.  It is really slick around the car and between car and porch.  Jaxon loves to slide.  Jordan doesn't like it too much.  Holding on to hands of sliding kids with my old knees was quite a trick but praise God we made it with no wounds.  Jordan actually made it to the ground once but with me holding his hand the impact was slight.  God is Good.
I put salt around for traction when I unloaded my groceries.
Well I guess all is well here and I pray everyone out there is well, too.
God bless.

'Tis So Sweet

'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His word,
Just to rest upon His promise.
Just to know, 'Thus saith the Lord.'
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I've proved Him o'er and o'er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust Him more!

By Louisa M.R. Stead

This was in my morning devotional.  Just wanted to share it with you.  I know you have all heard it but it is so true.
