After yesterday's house full of children I am pretty wiped out.  We dragged out of bed this morning and kind of schlepped through the morning.  With payday being a few days away I am handwashing dishes until I can buy more dishwasher soap.  I am not complaining by any stretch of the imagination.  I remember four years ago when we moved into this house and did not have a dishwasher for quite some time.  I am grateful for the servant I call the dishwasher. 

I got some more bread done today for a customer.  I really am enjoying selling the bread to others.  This is just the first step to a dream I have had for a long time.  That will be another blog post, though...

As we were packing to head over to my quilting friend's home she called in the same predicament we are in and asked if she could borrow some dishwasher soap and so I told her we were out until payday - she was too.  We had a great laugh over that.  She is a friend that I am not sure is saved.  We have this friendship where we get our four children together to play and just sit and enjoy each other for a few hours each week.  It had now turned into a quilting day and the conversation takes us to spiritual things every now and then.  I know she grew up going to church but her husband is not one to really want to set foot into a church.  There has been a lot of scarring over the years and they are quite leary of churches and the dynamic they have found in many of the churches they have seen through the years.  I keep praying for God to open doors for us to witness to them and for the Holy Spirit to tug at her heart through our conversations.  I love her and want her to be with me in eternity so that is breaking my heart that I think she might move and not be saved when she goes.  They are a military family getting ready to retire soon.  I only have for a short time.  Please pray with me for her and her family...

Also, pray with me for Carrie today at Mommy Brain.  You can check out her site for more information but she needs our prayers right now in a big way.  Thanks!!!

Everyone will be back from baseball practice really soon so I need to get some more dishes washed.  I will see you all tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by...
