February 22 and counting

I can not believe that we are heading into our LAST week in the month of "love". How quickly it went by- in a blink of an eye.

This week, we started a new school schedule. I spent WAY too much time being behind and was so sick of having to push the children in what needed to be done each minute and second, so the schedule is up and so was the list of all the consequences if the list was not honored. It has worked out beautiful. Yes I need a schedule if I do not have one, then NOTHING gets done. Why? Because I am lazy.(haha- not really just have to much to do)

I am so glad it is Friday though- the end of the week, no schedule tomorrow. Though we do have soccer! Joseph is in a tournament- so I will be fun to be outside all day. Watching Joey do his stuff. Paul and Sam will be working-refereeing, close by though. I love being outside, sitting in my chair with my camera in hand taking pictures of the action.

You know I wanted to share what I witnessed today. The immorality and lack of conscious. We stopped on the way home from grocery shopping at the Library. My children love the library, they love to read, and tend to need to go more then once a week. Anyway- we stopped and baby had fallen asleep so I decided to sit in the van because I was talking on the phone. While sitting there directly in front of me sat these two teenagers, a boy and girl, on this park bench. These two spent the WHOLE time kissing. If you call that kissing, it was so much more than just kissing. They truly looked like they needed to be in a private place. They knew I was there, because both of them would glance over occasionally. The young man decided to stand up in front of this girl who then preceded to try to remove his belt to expose this young man. Praise the Lord the young man to seem to have some decency. It just was a reminder for me of what my children could be doing.

Well I pray all is well in your household... We love you and may our Lord Jesus continue to show His mercy upon you.

BFS #124 - The Easy Button

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Goodbye Facebook...Hello thoughts...

Well I did... I took the plunge and deactivated my facebook. It is amazing how much of a time consumer it is. It eats time like you would not believe. I am hoping, praying with this new found time, and lack of distraction that it will give me motivation to blog more. As my young men get older, move closer and closer in considering that step towards becoming one with someone.. I have come to realize there are so many resources out there pointed at men and what they need to do, or what they need to be as men to get married. The sad thing is there is hardly anything for young women. Today I challenge Paul to look at a questionaire done by Stacey and James McDonald( you can find it on Staceys  blog thesacredcalling.com)  that they put together for young suitors for their daughters. After reading it he came down so heavy hearted. Guess the realization of the spiritual, emotional and physical responsibilities of it all became very burdensome. Of course I shared how we could do noth...

Saying "I love you"...

Thinking about these words. These words that are to express our deepest emotions. These words that are to leave us vunerable and open, just do not seem to have the impact they use to. Many people use these words so fleeting. They use them as if to say "thank you", or "I thought about you today". For me "I love you" is not an easy thing to say. If I say I love you- I mean it from way down deep in my heart. They are not just words to be said but also words, that are to be put into action. Have you ever thought about that? When someone says "I love you", do they show through their actions that they love you?  or do they leave you going Huh, really? I have had those thoughts, wondering if the person who has declared their love really does love me because actions speak louder than words to me. I hear their words but then on the other hand see their actions and  they do not act like a person who even cares about my well being. Jesus never states in the...
