Jun. 19, 2008 - LOTS OF GOINGS ON!!!
It has been busy, busy, busy around here. My husband and I have started a homeschool group, and we are hosting a Cowboy Camp for homeschoolers at a local ranch. It has been awesome. I will post pictures and more information about what we've done at the Cowboy Camp soon.
We've had 2 birthdays in my house in 9 days. I now have a 1 year old and a 4 year s old---WOW!!! Where does the time go?
In Chicago there have been 3 or more shootings of young children in 5 days(all recently graduated from 8th grade). One of which was someone in our family. He was my husband's uncle's brother's grandson. Now that might seem down the family tree a little bit, but it really isn't. Jeremy went to church with my hubby's family and mine (even though we don't go there). He spends just about every holiday with us.
My father, who I never really saw growing up, is very ill and has recently been put in a nursing home for rehabilitation. I'm dealing with the reconciliation of feelings toward him, but my daughter says her greatest prayer for him is that he will accept Jesus as his Lord and Saviour. To that I say, AMEN!
My sister in law's mom is on a ventilator and she might be faced with making a difficult decision. Another one of my sister-in-law's sister's husband recently died. My mother went to the eye doctor recently for a routine exam and was given a severly, bad report about her eye condition, but God is still God.
Though there is death, sickness and many things that can bring fear into your life, I choose to meditate on this... Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dyeing around you, these evils will not touch you. Psalm 91:5-7
Yes, we are still going to the new church. I am nervous about saying that I enjoy it and that I think it is God, so instead I'll say this, "I will watch and pray and be still." In the midst of all of that, I'll enjoy the place that I'm at and see what God is doing.
Well, I'll post pictures really soon. I'd do them tonight, but I'm not good at all of that yet, so it takes me a long time to do that, and I'm very tired (birthday for the new 4 year old and Cowboy Camp in one day)!.
