Worthy of Your Time

I am not back to blogging, I am still letting the Lord lead but I thought I would pop in and send you some links I view worthy to read.

Legalists keep lists in their pockets, while Christians keep nails.

This is a long post so grab a cup of something, but it will be worth your time! Going Public…Finding Eden (you may need a facebook account to view this)–hopefully this link will work.

Believing the 2-Star Reviews too often

Ok this is to make you laugh, my oldest son has a friend who cracks me up. I video taped him this weekend. It will make you smile at the least. (oh and the boy hitting the ball is my middle son. =)

Looking Back

This week was up and down and up, but God is faithful.  There were struggles where I wondered where God was, then there was rejoicing in seeing spiritual growth.

Oh and the time where I tried to erase this whole blog (not really but I messed it up good), went to bed sad thinking “well I guess Lord you are trying to tell me something because everything just went wrong today.”  I did shoot an email off to WebExMedia hoping they could perform some sort of miracle as I slept (or at least laid in bed staring at the ceiling).

Woke up the next morning to an email saying it was all fixed.  I told my husband, “Honey whatever I pay for webhosting it is not enough they work miracles.”  He smiled and said, “Well if you wouldn’t mess with things then they would not HAVE to work miracles.”  (heheh, yep I am dangerous sometimes)

Ever have a week where if you have an area where satan can attack you, he did.  Seriously in almost every area close to me there was something.  Some times you feel like throwing you hands up in frustration.  But as I said even in the midst of some hard times this week, God is faithful.

Even when you want to scream why, God is faithful.

Even when God feels distant, he is still faithful.

I have to admit I spent the first half of this week asking God where he was, but by Friday I had the biggest simile on my face knowing he is working even when we don’t see it.  GOD IS FAITHFUL.

I do hope you had a better week than I did, but if not rejoice in the Lord.  Why?

Psm 68:19 Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.

Do Long Blog Posts Scare Away Readers?

I have often been asked if I will be reviewing The Shack, my answer is no.  But if I ever did I would say “yeah, what he said.“  Plus he says it better than I ever could.

Have a great long weekend.

Looking Back

Thank you for your kind comments concerning my first video blog. And if you missed me making fun of myself, see here.

Taking a vacation the week before school begins, has me all discombobulated. I was forced to face the fact that all my children are out of elementary school now. With two in middle school and one in high school, testosterone HAS been running rapid around here.   S  I  G  H I sure miss the baby baby stage……except for the up all night, oh and the poopy diapers, and the loud crying for no reason-no matter what you do.  Besides that, I miss the baby baby stage.  I miss the smell after bath time, or a huge belly laugh, or cooing and smiling.  Think manly man will let me start over again?  Yeah me neither, I think he is looking to forward to retirement. Oh wait what was I talking about, sorry began day dreaming there… oh yeah teenagers.

Don’t get me wrong I am enjoying each stage of all my boys life (well maybe I am anxiously waiting for maturity to hit my 8th grader a bit, but that is to be expected).  Anyways along with the joys are also challenges.   Trying to keep them fed is a challenge but compound that with a son who is participating in cross country and runs a minimum of 2 to 7 miles after school, my food bill is soaring to new heights. Oldest son even had the gull to come home and tell me that his running coach said I was not feeding him enough.

I said, really??? Did the coach see you devour 7 slices of pizza the other night, or 3 pieces of chicken the night before, not to mention the bag of cookies that only lasted 2 days?? YiYiYiYi  Anyways, change of subject.

I had a wonderful evening Wed night teaching Kathy Howard’s bible study “Before His Throne.” There were some technical difficulties on my part, oh and the fact that I showed up to my own bible study with no…BIBLE, but besides these snags we have a wonderful group. I am so excited to see how God will move in these next nine weeks.

Have a wonderful weekend and I would love to read how your week went.  Did “back to school” go smoothly for you?  Also I have a question about video blogging on my community page that I would love your thoughts on.

Here are some great reads for this weekend:

I loved reading this post about contentment.

I have to say I am tossing around an idea of re-thinking how I do Facebook.

This looks yummy, linking so I can come back and make these.

Off to meet a new blogger friend in real life. I am excited, but nervous.
