Just Sittin' Here

I have spent the day between loads of laundry just sitting here watching Star Trek and writing, writing and more writing on the minimum standards.  There is tons of writing involved.

I pray everyone is having a blessed and peaceful holiday.  It will be back to business for me tomorrow.

God is good.

I Made It

Another work week complete. Praise God.  Came straight home, ate supper and went to bed!!!  I was ready for some rest.  I would say quiet but alas I turned on the TV.  Believe me it was not as noisy as my 18  kids this afternoon.

I will be glad when the blogs are working correctly!  Mine seems to be doing fine tonight although I have not made any comments but it is responding better with no clicking.  I really enjoy reading everything written on the blogs I follow.

It is great!  A three day weekend.  The boys will be here tomorrow.  I will be glad to see the little fellows.

I don't really know what the reunion plans are this year but I did not even think about it and told Sharon I would keep the boys so I probably will not try to do the reunion this year.  If any of our folks come to town I hope I see them?  I hope everyone else has a wonderful time.

Don't really have anything to say.  I just woke up about 10:30pm so I decided to sit at the computer a little while.  I cleared out my email and just wanted to remind everyone that God Is Good!!   Love you all.  Good night.  Have a peaceful night with plenty of rest!

Morning All

Good morning.  I pray your day be blessed. 

Just wanted to let you know that I have my certificate for my online class and I went through my First Aid and CPR class without a hitch.  Now if I will just kick myself into gear and work on the minimum standards maybe I would complete that as well.

I'm waiting for Jaxon to get here so I don't have much time just wanted to check in and thank everyone for praying for me.

For our present troubles are quite small and won't last very long.  Yet they produce for us an immeasurably great glory that will last forever!   2 Corinthians 4:17 NLT

God is good.

One Down, One To Go

Praise God!  I have just completed the online course.  Said I would get certificate via email soon.  They were incorrect about the time though.  I started a little after 8 and finished after 11.  Not 2 hours.  I pray my certificate come through with out a hitch.

Now CPR and First Aid tomorrow!   I still have not finished the minimum standards self -help study.  It is horrendously long and I am not working on it very much.  I pray I get down to business with that so I can be done there as well.

Gotta hit the bed 5:30 am comes quick.

God bless you all!!

Classes, Classes, O MY!

Well, I found out today that I have to do CPR and first aid class tomorrow.  I will not be able to go to prayer meeting and I will be at Lollypop until probably 9 o'clock.  Oh my.  I am wiped out by the normal 5:30.

I also have to do the Personal Management Class on line.  I did find out that it is 2 hours instead of 4 and that it can be done in quarters instead of all at once if need be.  I have already messed up once trying to register so pray that I can get registered and get that over with soon.

I did so enjoy reading the new posts made today.  I know I don't post as much as I should but sometimes I have trouble with my legs at the computer.

My CPR class is really gonna mess up my TV schedule (OH MY) should it matter?  I do not have DVR.  I was already trying to figure how to watch Dancing With The Stars results and American Idol at the same time and I watch chopped at 9 as well.  Do I need a life, or what!  

God bless you all!  God is GOOD!!  He has blessed me abundantly this week!  Thank you, Heavenly Father!

Sisters and Games

I had a marvelous long weekend.  My sister Glenda came for a visit.  We had tons of sister fun.  Norma and Jennifer visited with us through the day and after everyone went home Glenda and I played games on the computer.  Lots of scattergories and word yacht.  I really had a lot of fun.  I hardly ever have anyone to play games with.  Thanks Glenda I really enjoyed your visit. 

Just want to share this quote from my calendar;   "The suggestions for surviving storms and maintaining hope is found in Psalm 77:11.  Quite simply, it is to remember all the times God has come through for us.  When we think back on God's faithfulness, then we can rest in hope."  by Marilyn Meberg

God is faithful!!!  God is good! 

I love you all and pray God's abundant blessing on each one who reads this!  Peace!

...Lo I am with you always...

Taken from "Boo Hiss" by Rene Gutteridge

When Noah came off the boat, hadn't his entire life changed?  Everything he knew to be true about his life was now gone, and he was literally starting over, an entire new earth at his disposal.  Yet God said to him, "As long as earth endures, seed time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease."  It can seem in life that nothing is sacred.  Friendships come and go.  People die, people are born.  There is health and then there is sickness.  Life is prosperous one minute, destitute the next.  You are favored and then you are scorned.  But one thing never changes, and that is God.  And His promises stand true.  As long as earth is spinning around , the seasons will come, reminding us that life changes.  Just as it is true in seasons, change has its purpose.  We may not understand it now, but if we stand with the One who does not change, we will make it through any season in our life.  And that is a promise as sure as the rainbow in the sky.   (end)

... Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.  Matthew 28:30

Pray! Pray! Pray!  And you'll get through it!

He's There

When I'm on the run, under the gun, out on a limb I call out to Him, He's there.
When I stumble and Fall, no faith at all
Down on my knees crying please, Lord, please
He's there.
When I look up, He's already looking down
When everyday life is an everyday burden to bear
He's there.
When times are tough and I've had enough
I say "its over.  I'm through.  I don't know what to do."
He's there.
I'm never alone.  I'm in the safety zone.  He's there.
Praise be to Jesus He's there.
(These are some lyrics pulled from a Woody Wright Song)

These words are backed up by Scripture...
Hebrews 13:5 (Amplified)
5).....He (God) Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor leave you without support [I Will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave  you helpless, nor forsake nor let you down [relax My hold on you] --- Assuredly not.
6) So take comfort and are encouraged and confidently and boldly say, The Lord is my Helper, I will not be seized with alarm --- I will not fear or dread or be terrified ...
Joshua 1:5
....I will be with you.  I will not leave you nor forsake you.

He's there!!! Praise be to Jesus.  He's there.

Looking Forward

I know it is crazy to look forward to a trip to the lawyer but I am.  Well, I am looking forward to the trip.  Being off for the day.  Getting away from the house.  Just doing something different for a change.

Everyone has been so good to me lately.  I pray God bless everyone back abundantly.  I love my toaster oven Glenda gave me.  I appreciate Perry taking the time and the money to get the light cover so my car can be inspected.  Norma and Wesley have been so good to do the leg work with my car in the shop.  They have took me to and from work and even made a quick trip to Dallas to pick up the light cover.  God is good and my family are kind and loving.  Thank you so much.  I love you all.

I love that picture of Nick on Glenda's blog.  It is so hard to believe he is 21 and that is a really good shot of Glenda.

Gonna say goodnight.  I am going to look quickly for dinosaur activities for preschool.  Going to talk about dinos next week.

God bless all with peace for the night and health for the day!!

Cameras Are Up And Running

They got the cameras put in today and you can see all our classrooms on the monitor in the office.
I still don't like the idea but I feel like that I have accepted it and God will help me cope with being WATCHED! Oh My!

Don't really have anything to say just want to check in with a hello to all and I pray everyone has a good night and the best of days tomorrow.

Norma, I don't know how to change the font size on the footer prayer but it is now a different color an I think easier to read.

Love to you all.

Sunday

God is good.

The Bible says that the people could tell that Moses had been with God.  They could tell by his countenance.  We need to show forth the love of God not the drudgery of everyday living.

God, please help us to change our attitude towards the the task of daily living in this world of sin and strife.  Help us to put things into perspective.  Help us to do things unto You.  Help us to recognize that everything we do can have good meaning.  Help us to be helpful, serene and at peace.  Help us to draw attention to the difference it makes in our life to know You as Savior and Friend.  In Jesus Name I Pray!  Amen.

Do we choose to believe He is in control, and rest in that thought? Choose yes and rest in it.  This will bring peace.  God has ordained peace.  He said "Look for it"  Train your mind to think on good things and His blessings.  Train yourself to turn worries and doubts into prayers, releasing your fears to God.  End with praise and thanksgiving.  Make a joyful noise unto the Lord for He IS WORTHY of our praise.

Help me!!!
