The Privilege of Worship

Lots going on today but Cornbread wanted a little rock-rock time so I thought I would pop on here for a quick post. Another late night but it was worth it. The GuitarMan is in the Male Chorale at his college and they had a concert last night. What a privilege to attend! We took the girls and my mom was sweet enough to keep the little guy. There's no way he could have gone to something like this. So without her help there would have been no way for us to attend.

Wow, they did a beautiful job of leading worship in song. We were able to tape some of it but loading videos on Blogger crashes my computer so I can't share. :( It hit me again that The GuitarMan was the same age as LadyBug the first time we took him to see the chorale. Now here he is singing in it. Pretty cool to see it come full circle. What you expose your children to matters!

It makes me sad to think how many people take those opportunities for worship for granted and miss out. They don't look at it as a privilege. Some people come to church only if they are in the mood, if they feel like it, aren't too tired, if their friends are going to be there, etc. What would happen if they approached their job the same way? So if this is you, what is happening to your spiritual life? Oh, I realize that church attendance doesn't equal salvation. But shouldn't salvation equal a desire to worship with other believers? To lead others to Christ? To be discipled and grow in knowledge and faith?

Just my ponderings.

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,

Need Prayers

Yesterday I went to my regular doctor's appt. They could not find the baby's heartbeat. Ultrasound showed that for reasons that are simply unknown right now, the baby has died. If I do not deliver on my own by Monday, then I will be induced. We know that God has a purpose in every life, no matter how short. Right now, there are a jumble of feelings. I'm sure the coming days will be no different. We went to my son and told him in person. He came on home as he wants to be here for all of us, particularly FlowerChild, as she leans on him so much. We haven't told the girls yet as we just aren't sure how to handle that at this point. Today in the South the snow is falling and they feel like it is Christmas. I would rather let them have that and watch their delight as they play. It's not important when they find out so much as it is that I find the right way to tell them. I will probably come at it from the direction of a premature birth or that the baby is sick. Th

Latest on GuitarMan

I haven't made a practice of sharing photos with a full facial view on here. However the GuitarMan isn't too worried about that LOL! With many of you praying for him I thought you might like to have an idea of who he is. He is still in a lot of pain. His fingers are all black and blue and his entire hand is swollen. His hand is cut straight across his fingers and across the bottom of his hand. Once again, very obvious what could have happened. He's blown away by everyone caring and checking in him and the prayers on his behalf. He says to thank you all!
