• Sep. 7, 2007 - it's been a while....
Since i've blogged, with school starting and just the busyness of being a wife and mom I have not been here lately. We started our school day this Tuesday, We haven't been able to purchase our curriculum yet as we are waiting for a check to arrive, hopefully next week. I have printed some worksheets for my girls and they have some pages left to do in their workbooks.
I really have been struggling with getting up at 6am, there's no way I was going to get up on time when I have been getting up 4 times a night running to the potty! But by the grace of God, next week I can get started at 6am. But other than that, I have been trying to keep our day a bit on track with our daily chores, playtime, lunch etc. So that I'm thankful for.
Tonight our Marriage HomeGroup will be starting up again, we are so excited! We have some new assistants who will be helping us with lessons, planning and eventually have their own group. This group will be pretty much all new couples so it will be exciting to see the Lord move and transform their Marriages.
Before I forget....I have a praise report! my cousin, Jennifer, Had called me last week... really down as she is suffering from torn ligaments in her shoulder area. She was involved in a car accident in March and the pain is getting worse and the dr. has her on strong Medications that really make her drowsy and basically all she wants to do is sleep but anyway, she felt she couldn't take it anymore and needed to come to church (I've been encouraging her to come for years!)
She actually made it to last Sunday's service! the sermon was excellent! just encouraging us as believers to make a difference in our neighborhoods and reach out to our neighbors and be that light, instead of moving out because of gang activity, or drugs in the area that we need to get more involved and start praying. It was awesome! She really liked it, she comes from a Catholic background so she really like the topic as it hit home and was easy to listen to.
It was communion Sunday, I asked her if she'd like me to pray for anything, at first she had said no but then about 2 seconds later tears were flowing down her face and she said "Please can we go pray?" so we went to the front of the church and I prayed for her (she had given her life to Christ about 14 yrs ago).
It was exciting for me as I have been praying for her, for about 14 years and to have my prayer answered was a nice feeling. I know the road for her will take time but I plan to guide her and be there for her. |

It's good to see a post from you!
Just curious as to why you have to start at 6am? To keep with DH's schedule? I'm about ready to start doing school when it starts to get dark so my children can enjoy the day if the sun is out. This has been a horrible summer, weather-wise (honestly it feels like we completely skipped summer!), and it's already beginning to feel like fall. :(
Your marriage class sounds exciting!
That's neat that your cousin has started going to church with you. I'll be praying for her- sounds awful to be in that much pain and drowsy from the meds all the time.
Love, Alyssa
