Tuesday....



Today was awesome, I am so enjoying this 70 degree weather.

I also went to bible study again today and it was SO GOOD! Beth Moore just really knows how to speak to you. She really gets down to the nitty gritty and tells it like it is.

One thing that she talked about today that really struck me was that you cannot divorce your history from your future. As you move forward in Christ you must always be mindful of where you have been. One way she described it is that your future and your history both have the same root.. the SAME root. To think that pit of sin leads to my future, my redemption, my savior! Doesn't that just blow your mind?

I told you it was gonna be good!

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to PROSPER you, and not to harm you, plans to give you HOPE and a FUTURE.
Jeremiah 29:11

Let's just say that we made it thru the day...


Well, we made it thru the day. That's all I have really to say. I guess one of the blessings of dyslexia is that most kids seem to be a couple years behind socially/emotionally. DD really took things in stride.

Praying for His blessing, His wisdom and mercy.


My soul finds rest in God alone: My salvation comes from Him. - Psalms 62:1

Sickees and 1628...



We are sickees today. I am so bummed that we missed both swim practice and reading class. There was nothing to help it though.

The highlight today was that we began watching Colonial House from PBS. It is a 2003 reality series where they take families and singles to an authentic colonial village and they must live there for 4 months. We watched the first disk and plan to send off for the next one from netflix (Netflix is awesome for homeschooling mommies!). I searched out this program because we are studying colonial times, but Millie just doesn't seem to absorb it very well. We have been to the American Village in Montevallo so she gets the whole pilgrim - Mayflower topic, but never really clued in to what happens after Jamestown. So maybe this will help her assimilate. Fingers crossed.

The picture above is from the American Village program on the first Thanksgiving.

I did start Bible study on Tuesday, it was so great to be back with the Ladies! Our little group has grown so much. I was happy to see each one, but most of all happy to see Beth Moore on the t.v. OH Beth, how I have missed you. I need your words and encouragement. We are doing Beth's new study on Esther: Its tough being a woman. It is gonna be good.

Here's praying that we are well tomorrow as we have a funeral that I must attend. I need to be there to offer my condolences...

Right Now...




Right now:

I am really in a foul mood.
I should really be asleep.

I am wishing that we could make it to Church tomorrow, but I have a nasty illness goin' on.

I am thinking about blogging on my incredible deals from the after christmas sale at Academy Sports.

I am looking forward to Tuesday Morning Bible Study. I have missed the Ladies the last few months.

I am thankful for so many things.

I have about 45 things on my to do list and no time to do 'em.

I have 212 snapfish credits and around 600 pictures to print.

I am exactly 5 years behind in my Christmas Scrapbook. Only 1 year in DDs.



I am done whinning.
