Friday 13th

Okay so this day started off as normal... and still is. God is in control on the the 12th, 13th , etc...

I am so thankful I believe in Jesus! I give Him today and every day! One of my favorite stories about today is...

It was my Grandfathers lucky day. He always won something, found something he thought he lost or something cool like that. So when this day comes around I always think of my Bapapa. Thank you for all the good memories.

So there is no reason to fear the 13th, if you know who hung the stars :)

Home school 2012

So we started back this week and boy is it hard. My kids just do not want to get into the swing. So we have started some new things :) Tornado is having trouble with his letters. So we are trying some writing in the rice. He was so excited and had some really break troughs. Plan on blogging about my experiences. Hopefully this will help me in the ups and downs.

And as you can see Pippy enjoyed it too!!

Going to do the 100 days of kindness, join me!

Starts the 16th and ends on Valentines day!

Me...

Okay so today is just Weds. Hump day, middle whatever you want to call it. It is just Wednesday. I am blessed, but... Yes there is that ugly word. Why can I not just be blessed? Why must I add BUT? I want to get to the place where I can rest in my Lord. Know He has seen today, tomorrow and tomorrow ... I am just not "feeling" blessed. I know that is such a women thing, but it is true. Once again I am waring in my mind, praying for the mind of Christ to take hold in my human mind.

I am FREE

"When I am free from ambition, I am free to serve with a joyful heart.

When I am free from selfishness, I am free from irritation.

When I am free from jealousy, I am free to rejoice in the good of another.

When I am free from judgment, I am free to pray from a pure heart.

When I am free from expectation, I am free to enjoy whatever comes.

When I am freed from controlling others, I am free to see the miraculous.

When I am truly free, I will see the Kingdom of God in my life.

That is what I want to see –the Kingdom of God come in my life. What is that going to take? It's going to take tearing free from my own selfish thoughts and feelings. It's going to take looking at things from God's perspective. It's going to take God's help. In order to be free, I have to be free of me.

Thanks! Lynn Cowell

Father, when I don't get my "to do" list done, I am irritated and frustrated. When I am tired and one more person needs me, I feel angry and annoyed. Only You can free me of me, Jesus. I give You permission to do it! In Your powerful Name, Amen."

Trust

Malachi 3:10 (NIV)
10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.
