Hello, ya'll!

Yes, so it's been a while and most of you think I've joined FaceBook (but I haven't! Huzzah for me!). Life's been busy (when is it NOT?) and PLLM is on a roll and this week is our first PLLDiscipleship Group! I'm a little nervous, but I think it'll go smoothly...if you ever try contacting me on HSB, it may be faster to just drop me a comment on PLLM's site instead as I check that one more often than this one....

...and what was so important to even bring me here to post in the first place? Zoe's tag.=P Yeah, you didn't think I would just come and post for any reason, right? lol Enjoy...grab the tag if you'd like.

2. When you can't go to sleep, what do you do? Uh, lay awake? What else CAN you do when you aren't asleep in bed?

18. Is your room clean at the moment? Ha! Nooo...we have every single room upstairs filled because we have company over, so everything that WOULD be in my new sewing room is now in my small bedroom along with the new fishtank I need to put in, and the bag of rocks my niece keeps finding, and at least 4 sewing projects in there with an unfinished bed and art supplies waiting to be used tomorrow....

Memories...painful but nevertheless beautiful

I am so sorry for ignoring this blog...dear Jocelyn reminded me that even though I'm busy I should still find some time to update ya'll!! ^_^

So....last post was about dear baby Jonathan's death. The W kids are doing good but the parents are still struggling with "why would a loving God let this happen" type of thing. Which is totally understandable since I thought the same thing for MONTHS after Isaiah Daniel died.

Speaking of babies and Isaiah, July 9th marked one full year since the day we found out mom was pregnant. It's been one l-o-n-g, tough, emotional year full of struggling. Dad was out of work for 6 months, mom had a whole bunch of health problems while we were all struggling with Isaiah's death. One year of painful but never the less beautiful memories that I'll never forget.

Continue to keep my family in your prayers. My dad's book and our ministries (ConsiderHisWays and Pure Little Ladies Ministry) aren't coming along as fast as we'd like, but its all in God's timing. I'd really love to get a laptop to help out with all the computer things that we need to do instead of our failing desktop, but again, that's also in God's timing.

We were sooo blessed to travel to Indiana to meet the Dixons (along with meeting the Lirettes and Seven Sisters), their family was such a blessing and came at such a perfect time in our lives to encourage us. Most of the people that come to CHW were told to come by the Dixons. -_^ Thank you, thank you, thank you!! You are such a blessing to us and we hope to be able to get together again soon...it was such a wonderful time of fellowship and restful "Shabbating" as my dad would call it. =P lol

My sister and my two nieces are here for about two weeks...so we're busybusybusy!! It's been fun though.

Please pray for me....I've been having some health problems and so far none of the bloodwork is showing anything (which could be a good thing I suppose). I'm also getting all 4 of my wisdom teeth taken out on July 15 early in the morning....I've never had surgery or been "put out" before and I'm nervous, prayers would be appreciated!!

Shabbat Shalom,

Miss Toria
