I have a few minute window while the kids are finishing their breakfast before our lessons begin that I thought I would try to squeeze out a quick entry.
First, thank you all for your encouragement on my last post. I have since made it private, because truly it was a sad and depressing post, but something I needed to get out at the time. If you read it, thanks for your encouragement, if you didn't, don't worry about it, you didn't miss anything.
I am doing much better. I had been dealing with some other spiritual issues and beliefs and last night it all came to a head. Paul and I sat up and talked and prayed until 1:00am, and I feel like a break through happened. I won't say everything is great now, but I do feel like I got some things talked out and worked through. Now I am tired, but the Lord is my strength and He will carry me through. As we were falling asleep last night, well early this morning, I said to Paul, "I wish I could wake up tomorrow and all my issues would be gone." He said, "Yea, I would like to wake up in heaven too."
Through all of this, I have been quite excited about a couple of things, first, I have stepped up with a few different ministries, and so far all of it has involved the computer. I am just such a computer geek, and I love to work on the computer, hence the reason it's so hard to be without my laptop. I'm going to be taking pictures during the whole week of VBS at our church and making a slide show from them. Plus I am working on some other computer related things too with VBS. And, this is still in the beginning praying, lets see what happens stage, but I might be working on my first web site. Yep, helping to build a website for our homeschool group. Well, the site is being built by someone right now, very simple. Then I will probably take it over and add and continue to build on to it. I am so very excited and nervous about it. But it's something I've always wanted to try, and I'm excited I might get my chance. I so wish I could put the link out on my blog so you can all see it, but our town is small, well Idaho is small. And I think it would be to much personal info out there. It's not like I can say I live in Chicago, which is so big no one could find me anyway. So unfortunately you won't be able to see my work, good or bad, but I will tell you all about it, if it happens.
And finally, as I can hear the kids finishing cleaning up the kitchen after breakfast and I have to get moving, laptop update. They have fixed it and mailed it out yesterday and we should get it around the 21st. Yes, I feel all of those emotions. And I still won't be excited and say, "Yes, it's fixed and I have my laptop", until it's in this house and I'm using it. Mainly because I had to mess with the plug for so long that I wonder if I messed up the plug itself. And that even though the power box on the laptop works, the plug itself might not. And if we have to get another plug it's around $100. Yes, I know, expensive, but I have to make sure we have the right voltage plug so it doesn't ruin the laptop. And if the plug is messed up, I don't know where we would get the $100. So, all that to say, I am curbing my enthusiasm until it's here, I have tested the plug, and know it all works.
OK, well, I went a few minutes over and it's lesson time, so I need to get going. We have a very busy day planned today, so I don't know when I'll be back on. But I'll try to catch up on blogs sometime today. Thanks again for you encouragement and love.
Wow! That was a really fast repair. I'm excited for you. I just know it's all going to work fine.
Those projects sound very fun, although building a web site would intimidate me. I have enough trouble with my template for my blog :D
Thanks for the compliment on my wreath. I'm probably a little too critical and keep looking at it wondering if I like it or not.
I think it would be fun to make one for you if you really want one! Do you?
I'm glad you were able to talk & pray through some of your issues. I love Paul's answer on waking up in heaven. Quit witted, isn't he? That's good. I'm doing VBS again this year too. Ours is sometime next month, and as fast as the days are flying by, it will be here before I know it. Hope your laptop works! Enjoy your new websit building endeavors. Have a wonderful weekend. We're finally planting the garden today.
I am glad that you and your hubby went to the Lord. the Lord WILL bless you for that and will continue to heal you as time goes by. Keep your eyes on the Lord and He WILL see you through. I am glad that your are getting involved in areas that are for sure your giftings are. I am sure they will be blessed by it all.
Hey girl, been busy with myself too this past week, I realized it had been a few days since I stopped by to say HI and leave a comment. Hope your weekend is fairing much better now. Take care and will catch ya later
I think that would be great for you to do the website. I always feel good when I stretch myself doing something I enjoy, and it sounds like that is what you would be doing.
This blog is so I can share my journey with the Lord, my journey as a wife and mother, and my journey as a homeschool mom. I pray that you will see the Lord in my life through happy and sad times, and that this blog glorifies the Lord.
This is an award and tag free zone, thank you.
