Friends

Friends came over today and I loved being with them. 3 generations during this visit and it was sweet! OM goodness I actually forgot to take pictures!!! :-( They made me realize how grateful I am to many of you for your presence in my Life). You are NO MISTAKE! Your a masterpiece created by the CREATOR who blessed me with YOU!

Anyway I am so glad that my visit with my friends today was not like the friends I have been reading for my daily reading lately. Jobs' friends . . . wow were they harsh. I am reading in the New Living Translation and I am amazed at . . . well their forthright attitudes. It almost breaks my heart. Sure there are qualities they bring up about the Lord however, they also just show their human error.

I enjoy my friends. We laugh together, share one another's joys as well as burdens, some have been around to see my children born and others to be there when one went to be with the Lord, some shared practical jokes, as well as my shared prayers, and some have come to know the Lord Jesus Christ through our lives with one another. There are those whom I've known for many years and others whom have just entered my life and they all are important. Some know me quite well (YIKES ;-} ) and others whom are just getting to know me. Some have known me most of my life and see where I've come from ;-( before I knew Jesus and others who've known me after Jesus. Some have the joy of sharing in our yet new beginning again with "HaSa" through all these steps of my life I am grateful for my friends. I even married my dearest friend :-) (Love You B!) Friends - are family and Family are friends - They/YOU are a part of who I am - so Thank You~!

All tuckered Out

Today was a full and HOT one! Literally it was so very Hot outside! The SJSD buildings all had to have had little ones and others sweating like crazy! ;-0

My student is a charmer and I love what I do. Other little ones are just now figuring out that we are with child :-)! That is a fun one! HaSa is starting to move like never before. Maybe my temp was a bit too warm - who knows! ;-p

The "babies" love that we are in the same building because they get a few little "perks" getting to come in the building with me and being "helpers". They will probably really enjoy it later when it gets below zero or close to the freezing temperatures - UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now (literally) a storm is brewing in. Well . . . tonight is a family night and well . . . we are going to have a good time. Even though a bit tuckered out from a full week and heat.

Joy of "HaSa" and Girls

Well . . . here it is!

"As a mother comforts her CHILD, so will I comfort you;" Isaiah 66:13.

We are with one normal size child, all organs are healthy and we are excited! So You it is one precious gift and not two (although it would have been easier for a playmate :-) ).

Okay the last three mornings have been a huge BLESSING. We have a worship time and Devotional time before we all leave our separate ways. The wonderful thing about it is that the little girl whom I have been watching for the last 3 years went home and told her mom (whom we have been witnessing to) "We Sing and hear about Jesus Mommy!!!" and her mom told me about it when she dropped her off very early in the morning! :-) God is Good ALL THE TIME!!!

Well . . . My student is going to be work but I am looking forward to the year. I enjoy the teacher I work with (and greatly miss Adriana - my teacher last school term)! Both are great ladies to co work with!

"Love so Amazing, Love so Amazing . . . ." Jesus Messiah by Chris Tomlin ~ we sang that this morning and to hear the girls sing in harmony while Kent played the guitar was AMAZING and AWESOME!!! (I can hardly wait for HEAVEN!!!) Well have a Great morning!

Love is Amazing and can be used anywhere you go or do. You want to be LOVED don't you? So go ahead and share it and tell me what it did for you today. :-)

Okay . . . Twins or No Twins?!!!

Well, our sonogram revealed that we are going to KEEP the same Due Date: January 3, 2009. Also very Healthy in all the major organs - YES!!! About whether or not we are with TWINs or NO TWINs you will have the opportunity to discover our news through scripture. Here it is . . . Isaiah 66:13 (Kent's idea-we used NIV translation) :-) and No gender either. Although it was VERY TEMPTING . . . I closed my eyes and said "NO - I don't want to know" so we'll all have to wait until January 3 or around then. :-)

Blessings to you all!

Tell me what you discovered about our NEWS! :-)

Reflections

Good Morning!
What a Wonderful weekend. Excitement is real. I had some appointments with My Family this weekend and it was very well worth every minute. As Mya, Tia, Faith and Emily grow up I realize that I have been BLESSED! Ministry with Kent for the soon 21 years of Marriage :-) has been a ride never to be forgotten through every experience! Our family is growing all around us; immediate & spiritually. When we left our homes and become ONE we answered the call to ministry knowing it would be a LIFETIME experience of being "grafted in" with those we ministered with and to in every circumstance which is something I will continually reflect (over the years) and PRAISE the mighty King of Kings - knowing that life is precious! Our ministries have brought many growth spurts and many aches - all for the BEST of the Kingdom.

Everyone has a purpose for being a part of our lives and there are those yet to come still. Those from our past and present have made our soil of life rich through every circumstance weaved in our life's tapestry. Those yet to come we thank the Lord for their touch and thread in our lives because it will help complete our lives.

God is Good ALL the time and for that I sing Praise because in Jesus there is HOPE no matter the world's influence because He is TRUE to the end of this life I live. Thank you Jesus Christ for the sacrifice you have given so that I may live and share. I only pray that this year is a Harvest that is a huge bumper crop.

Live a Life for Him and there is true HOPE in every circumstance through JOY!
