Revival This Week

Revival went well tonight and we had a good turnout. The GuitarMan and his college roomate/best bud/bandmate led us in some awesome praise! They sang Blessed be the Name of the Lord (per Mama's request!), I Can Only Imagine, Lead Me to the Cross, and another song that they wrote JUST LAST NIGHT! They called me last night and wanted me to hear what they were working on. I always love to hear their music so they played it for me over the phone. I said, "You have to finish that and play it tomorrow!" So it was amazing. After church they played some more for a while and folks stuck around and listened. They have several upcoming opportunities to play at various churches and they have a big 3-day retreat in Panama City, Florida coming up, too. I am so proud of my boys and excited to see how God will use them!

Tomorrow night we have a guy coming from another town to sing. Bro. Mickey will continue his series. Tonight he spoke on teamwork and how we each have our place of service for God. If we are truly in love with Jesus then we will all want to serve Him. That will flow out into our churches and communities. Wow, if all Christians would grasp that and allow true revival to take place in their hearts just what could we accomplish for Christ?

    Angela,
    I hate that you aren't here! We were treated to a concert after the revival meeting tonight. It was a lot of fun. Tell The GuitarMan he owes you! :) Hope to see you soon!

The Season of Pregnancy (updated)

I know. I have been neglecting this blog. Horribly. That's not the only thing that has been thrown by the wayside lately! It is only for a season though. Pregnancy means you must be patient with yourself and accept that sometimes you must let things slide. That also means that you have to plan in order to conserve your energy. I know if I am going somewhere later today then I don't need to rush around and try to get a lot done in the morning. Priorities must be in order. Although the morning sickness is better it isn't totally gone at this point. Whoever named it that anyway? The main thing I have been dealing with is fatigue. My blog shows it. My laundry shows it. My house shows it. Ack, everywhere shows it! I simply do not have the energy to do the bending up and down required to truly clean up, do laundry, and the vacuuming/sweeping etc. It's quite depressing actually! So I do a little here, do a little there. I manage the necessities such as homeschooling, cooking, ...

Happenings Around Here

Well, another dog lost. :( This time it wasn't a car but something more sinister...a rattlesnake. She was bitten yesterday evening and lasted about 4 1/2 hours. Poor little Chi-Chi is only about 6 pounds or so and just couldn't take the venom. LadyBug seems to be taking it the hardest among the children. Our Bassett Hound, Daisy, and Chi-Chi are the best of friends and poor Daisy has spent the day looking for her. So sad. The GuitarMan has finished his semester and is home now. I introduced him to Pilates this morning. We worked out together. Ha ha, now if that wasn't a sight I just don't know what would be! He has a new found admiration for it now though. Afterwards I cut the FisherMan's hair outside under the plum tree while the children played in the pool. He asked if there was a way we could be any more redneck. I had plenty of ideas on that if he wanted but he didn't want to take part lol. Apparently it was a rhetorical question. This week was one of apprec...

Baby Steps

Hope you've had a good day today. We have been having some lovely autumn weather at our house! Yet I still have the urge to get the Christmas decorations out. Normally I am one of those people who likes to get Thanksgiving completed before moving on into the Christmas festivities. But there is just something about this year that has me ready to get all of the holidays going and squeeze out all the wonder. So my house now has icicle lights hung 3/4 of the way across the front. It's a small start but still an official start! I can't wait for the holiday cooking shows on Food network and the Christmas romantic comedy movies to begin. We also did a little rearranging today along with some cleaning out. I am going through the children's things and doing away with broken toys or the things that just don't interest them. I still have a ways to go until I can check "satisfied" or "completed" on my mental list. But still, like the Christmas lights, I can ...
