SPRING is coming... where are the flowers?!

Life has been getting along....still no rain but in God's time. This week was very enriching for me. We had the privilege of having David Burk come to our church and do our spring revival. He really put my focus back in place and helped me find my groove in life. IT IS ALL ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS ON THIS EARTH.....GOD DOES NOT NEED ME TO DO HIS WORK (HE CAN DO IT WITH OR WITH ME) BUT HE DESIRES FOR ME TO HAVE A INTAMITE RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM SO THAT HE CAN WORK THROUGH ME TO BRING HIM GLORY....David will be going to Afghan country in a few weeks then on to Kenya to help finish a church so please be in pray for him and his family.

Please pray for Wes James who was suppose to come bring the music for our revival. He fell out of a tree the day before he was to come and got injuried badly. Apparently they have found out that he has cracked every vertabrate in his back and as well as broken every rib. He is in extensive back pain. It is truly a miracle that he is alive. He literally died for about 2 minutes before his son brought him back. Lord willing we will get an updated on his condition soon.

As for as our family, life is getting on.... It is hard to believe that the school year is coming to a close very soon and that we still have not had any measurable rain here. Still as dry and getting hot as it usually does in our neck of the woods.
My eldest is shooting up like bambo and does not show any sign of leveling out. We keep busy between homework, church, and play. Did I mention that there is a birthday around the corner and someone's imagination is running wild as to who they want there and where it will be. Reading is one of their favorite things to do right now... WOW God is creating such an amazing individual.

My youngest is stretching out and trying our limits daily. Nothing like trying to teach a little one basic life lessons (discipline) while trying to teach them to write, recongize colors/shapes, and talk...hehehehehehehe! After two visit to the OFFICE and major discipline actionss, I know as a mom I need a massage and more chocolate than usual. Talk about stressing out over disappointments but we can't do everything for them, and they have to learn no matter how hard it hurts you and them...(Memories flow in about this time... and wow... was I really like that...yep)

My Hub is working like a mad man. With track season in full swing, school fitness program in season, and teaching, it is promising to be a very very busy spring for him and us. School is school and is what you make of it. He is learning first hand what it is like to teach and direct tweens into being responsible and sound minded adults. No thank you. He comes home so tired that it is crazy. I am still teach my 4 and 5 year old music and that is a really challenge keeping them focused. (I am sure you can imagine that my home is suffering... YIKES!!!!)

Work gets busy this time of year for me. Not only in work flow (jane of all trades), but as well as my volunteering means. I am apart of a non-profit that offers scholarships, community support, and support to our personnel in financial and life changing events. We have a huge event in May that has numerous sports tournaments throughout the day and dinner/dance to close it out. I am an officer and as an officer we also put together several other events through the year to raise the funds. It can be very very overwhelming and very frustrating at times, but it is all worth it to know that we have made a better place by giving our time and care towards others. Being able to be apart of this, the community relay for life, our church family, and my family's life is what this life is all about. I would have never imagined myself in this place and situation, but I would never take it back. You bet I would do it again and hopefully with a more servant heart.
God has blessed me with some amazing gifts such as my family and friends. It don't get much better.

As a mom I struggle to make sure that my babies get their devotional time from me, and discipline... it is not an easy life but I know that with the Lord's help I can do it....
As a wife, I am a slacker but thank goodness my hubby is understanding.... as a daughter and sister I try to keep in contact with my family and offer support...and as a employee I have got to learn to apply myself better. FOCUS ON ONE THING AT A TIME!!!!

YOU KNOW WHAT THOUGH:
I can't do anything of these things perfectly or even remotely close if it wasn't for the LORD. The LORD fills those holes and gives me love even when I feel un-loved.....

Thanks for your listening hearts and know that I treasure your kindness and support. I just get in those poor me moments and rub it all over and then realize that I can rise out of this.... HELLO... it is only muck that the LORD will remove if I would just be still and know.....


I hope that you have a fab day and week and know that the Lord loves you greatly and desires to know you more.... May you find the desire of the Lord in your hearts and long for the love too....





****DO YOU KNOW JESUS BECAUSE HE KNOWS YOU. God knows every hair on your head (Luke 12:6-8 NIV:Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies[a]? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows), and he gave his only son for you John 3:16 KJV-For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.)
