Life in a Nutshell

Jul. 3, 2006

How time flies....

It can't believe I haven't written anything for so long.  I was doing good there for awhile and then....  There has been a lot of things going on in my life as of recently.  My husband has made a couple "major" decisions these last few weeks and it's taken alot of brain power to process them.  Whenever I would sit at the computer and try to write, I just didn't have the "brain" energy to say anything.

 

My friend Shannon, the one who asked me to teach her the Bible, got a little offended with me last week.  It had nothing to do with the Bible either.  She lives a different life than I and that's okay but some of the things she does makes me very uncomfortable.  I've asked the Lord to give me wisdom with her and I was straight up with her and told her exactly what I thought of something she was doing and I think she realized then that we are just too different.  I did talk to her on Saturday but I could tell she was distant.  I asked if I had offended her and she said no but???  God knows best and I trust that He will work everything out according to His perfect will.

 

My father in law showed up on Friday, with NO notice, ugh!!  It was really nice to see him.  We don't get to see him very often so I quickly got over the shock of having had no notice.  We went to a big BBQ on Friday night, there were fireworks and everything.  We had a really great time.  I was able to get reacquainted with some people and I was able to meet some new folks.  On Saturday, Canada Day, we went to Shediac and spent the afternoon on the Point De Chein warf.  It was a beautiful day.  That evening we had a BBQ at our house with a couple friends.

 

The kids seem to be having a good summer so far.  Brendan complains about being bored at times, especially when his friends are not home, but when I offer to give him some housework to keep him from being bored he quickly changes his tune.  

 

We started attending a different church last Sunday and what a blessing it has been to see people you grew up with but have not seen for years.  The decision to change churches was a big one but when you know it's time to move on God makes the way clear.  Brendan was actually disappointed last night that we were NOT going to church, I haven't seen that for a long time.  I pray that won't wear off !!  Holly acts like she owns the place, like she's been there all her life. 

 

I was reintroduced this past weekend to homeschooling via satalite.  What are some of your opinions on that?  I'm not sure at this point what I think???  I'm more unsure of it than I am sure of it.  I don't know very much about it at all.

Hey Lou...

I'm really happy that you are seeing blessings in your life! It's always like a breath of fresh air when you see God's hand working. That being said, I missed you Sunday. Actually, your family was missed by many. Kinda like getting an arm or leg go missing suddenly.

Take care and I'll call you soon.

Hey Lou, just read your blog, and all I can say is Boy, was I surprised!!!!!! You didn't mention any of this in NB????? If you and Peter feel that this is the direction the Lord wants you to go, then He will bless you in whatever you do! All that matters is that you follow the Lord's leading. There will be those who will not understand, and try to convince you otherwise, but as long as you follow the Lord, it doesn't really matter what others may think! Give me a call sometime when you get a chance!!!!

Kim

Luv ya, Girl!!!!

Hi,
up in the middle of the night again, checking your blog. I always learn so much reading this, even though we talk often. Speaking of...I missed you the past few days. Even though I needed the break/company/support, I miss the schedule we have day to day. Without realizing it we had settled into a routine. You know how children love routine! Victoria loved having Daddy around, and is such a good girl these days. And ANGELina really is an angel. She is such a good little girl. And so cute. We love our girls so much. Sounds like you have lots to process these days. Don't rush it. Let God show you all He wants you to learn. "We'll understand it, all by and by..."
Love you,
Cindy
