Dead Cars!

Well I took my car back into the shop today. Pastor Trudy was headed to Miami so I asked her to follow me (my dad forgot he was supposed to.) So I headed on my way, made it to the stop sign where you turn right to go into Miami, and my car died, it would not start again so I called ahead to the mechanic and had them come and tow it the rest of the way. When Michael called I told him what happened and he was not very happy that I had it towed I responded to him "what did you want me to do? Push it!" if it were up to me I would have left it in the middle of the road until the tow truck got there, but there was a nice older man that pushed it out of the way for me. I was already irritated because I broke 2 nails while on my little endeavor. Maybe tomorrow will be better

Kids I love em!

Today I was sitting at my computer in the church and I could hear my daughter, Anna, playing in the daycare. All of a sudden I hear her yell "I love you Boyfriend," and then I hear the other little boy yell back "I love you!," so I stuck my head out the door just to make for sure that it was my daughter and sure enough it was. She was so embarrassed she kept saying "No mom, you didn't hear me," kids are so funny. The little boy she was talking to has been at the daycare since she was 8 months old and they are both 3 now. We have periodically caught them causing mischief together in the daycare. Next year they will start school together. His mother and I have decided to keep our cell phones off during the day to avoid the phone calls from the principle. My daughter acts just like me. Boy am I in for it!

Direction

Well I love it when God gives me direction. I get so excited because it usually means growth. Even when its dealing with me. Can I just tell you a little of what I've been seeing and hearing. God doesn't like it when we criticize others. As a matter of fact let me tell you what he says about criticizing in James 4:11. It says "Don't speak evil against each other, my dear brothers and sisters.[fn3] If you criticize each other and condemn each other, then you are criticizing and condemning God's law. But you are not a judge who can decide whether the law is right or wrong. Your job is to obey it. " Sometimes when we start to focus in on trying to witness to other people we tend to talk about their issues. So when we think about being negative and talking about other peoples problems in, what we think is an innocent way we nees to look and see what our motives really are. So when you find yourself in this type of situation let us reflect on what it says in James. Have a very Blessed Day!

Stressful

I really hate fundraisers! They require so much work! Why can't we just be lazy? Well I guess we could but we would never have any money to do anything. So have I mentioned that I hate fundraisers hehe! Well I guess God requires us to do our part to. Sometimes that stinks! Well got to get back to work on this wonderful fundraiser. C-ya!

God is Good!

OK! Yesterday God gave me a back bone. I was able to stand strong in a situation where normally I wud cave and enable people but God gave me words to speak that were non offensive an He kept the door open for me to still be able to minister to these people. Then later on in the day I faced another situation where someone needed some truth brought to the forefront and once again God gave me the boldness to speak his truth to this person and once again it was non offensive. Its amazing how things work when you rely totally on Gods Spirit to direct you in every situation in your life even the small ones. Challenge for today, keep your ears tuned in to that still small voice directing every little decision you make.

What to talk abou?

Really i don't have much to say today! Oh yeah today wuz Macy's first day to sit in an excersaucer she liked it a lot, she laughed and wore herself out real quick. Here's something else, have I said here lately how much I like our youth group? They are all sooooo cool and so much fun to be around. I try real hard to hold a serious conversation with them but then they do something totally off the wall and we are off on a long rabbit trail and I am usually right along with them and then I catch myself and we bring it back to the main topic and then, OOOPS, here we go again. It really is quite funny! Anyway they are all maturing so much in their walk with God and to be honest they still have their times but are probably the most respectful youth you could find and did I mention they have such wonderful servant hearts. I am so blessed to have such neat people in my life!
