I am such a boardgame geek

So I know I have neglected you blogger but it not my fault. You see it was summer va-ca and there was so much fun stuff to do and sitting alone with you for a half hour late at night just didn't seem right. I am truly sorry for being away. That being said, I am turning a new leaf and ready to be more disciplined to spend time with you.

What has this week been all about, well in short it has been all about cleaning the house and getting ready for school ... YIPPEE!!! All three mini-mes head back tomorrow and I will be doing the same in the next couple of weeks. So with Marie sick and sleeping, The kids and I decided to let off some final summer freedom steam and blow the day on playing board games. Not just one or two but 4 games. It was a blast and we had so much fun. The tunes were rocking from the stereo and we just lost all track of time as an afternoon turned into 6 hours of games.

I can't help but think that sometimes the best memories are not from expensive vacations or fabulous gifts but from simply having fun together with no expectations. Today will be one of the days I cherish.

something of worth

WAY TO GO BUDDY!!!!

Ministry for JESUS

Hmmmm.....interesting sign, this has started to mean alot to me in the past little while.

BEYOND THE WALLS

although a historical concept (as far as outreach ministry), I have always thought that my ministry needs to be "inside the walls"...Lately I have been wonder if this HUGH sign is trying to tell me something.......

Hmmmmmm.............................................................

If it is outside of the walls he wants me to go then well.........according to my own advice about doors here I go walkin through again, it hasn't failed me yet!

This is my Mother, it's Mothers' Day and I would like to honour her today! Although it has taken awhile, I am now getting to the age where I can see what looked to me as weird decisions, were decesions she (my mom) were making for her daughters to better our lives.She sacrificed tons in her role as a mom of young girls and still will to this day at a drop of a hat. Today I look back and say THANK YOU to her for the things she chose to do to better her daughters. Thank you mom as well for your commitment to having us girls find a relationship with God!

This is my daughter and I, and I know already that she, when my age or hopefully younger will think that I, myself will have made wierd decisions but as I have been able to, my hope is that she will see the reason or at least understand those decisions were made for a larger picture outlook. Also, and this is the BIGGY I pray daily that her relationship with God is closer and stronger , for her that is my prayer! So, I guess this mothers day is an interesting one, with me understanding lots and praying even more for her path to be long and clear.

God Blesss all Mothers' around the world!

This is my husband, you may not be able to read his hat but it says "DAD'S DANCE 2010" what is this you might ask...? In my opinion and well this is my/our blog so here it goes...is the MOST FAB-U-LOUS thing (well one of..) he will ever do. This is a performance in my daughter's dance recital that he and about 11 other Dad's are doing this weekend, and although hilerious it is SO touching that that many Dads would participate in something so WACKY as far as I am concerned for there daughters! AMEN! more Dad's like that and this world would be on a different path. I would just like to take this time and say a BIG THANK YOU to him the guy in red MY HUSBAND!!!! Love you and don't stop being YOU, just the way GOD made you. XOXO

Continuing on the path

As in my last post I have been trying to be obedient, it's hard....I realize that if I am driving in a situation it get bumpy, emotional, chaotic, stressful you get the idea, BUT (that's a BIG but) if I let God drive in the same situation it becomes PEACEFUL, CALM, MANAGEABLE so why you ask would you ever take the wheel away from him....? Simple.... I'm human and am not perfect I want to control the situation, I do hope that in the future I can realize ( a lot quicker than now) his driving is so superior to mine in ways beyond my imagination and to be a passenger is where I need to be. So for right now this minute I am going to "STOP DRIVING" :0) Thank you Lord for continuing to drive, and surrounding me with people that guide me as well, and for the surprising doors that continue to open up for me. AMEN

Answering....

As I sit here thinking of all the pleas I have sent to God,

what path do I go?

are you sure you can handle it?

please tell me the plan...

I need to know now.....

will it happen soon....

like november...December..no no the first of the new year....right.....

Funny thing is when the answer arrives...the doors start to open... the FEAR is so large it is hard to accept it........so, I sit here thinking God only through you will I be able to overcome this FEAR and start stepping through those doors that are so wildly opened just for me!

Watch out God here I come!

p.s Prayer welcomed, as sometimes things are easily said but not easily done......
