A Time For Every Season....

Too cute not to post! Here are just a few cute moments I was blessed to be a part of this week! Tuesday - Drew and I went to use a free coupon for a haircut. Drew is use to the cute little children's salon that has TV, airplane chairs, cars, and a Thomas Train to play with, so taking him to a normal salon was making me a little nervous. So on the drive, I explained to Drew that we were going to get his hair cut and he was expected to sit still and be a good boy. He wasn't to fuss or whine, he responded with an "ok mommy." Drew proceeded to get his hair cut, he sat so still I thought he was asleep! When he was all done, I said "Drew, you were so good! I am very proud of you." to which Drew responded "Obey mommy.... I obey" The barber then turned and looked at me like I was from Mars! Thursday - Drew and I were playing in the yard and we heard a police car and some fire trucks off in the distance. Drew said "U..oh mommy, U..oh," then I look...

What a week we have had....our car story just keeps getting more and more complicated! Would you believe we still don't have our car back and we are in another rental car? Let me begin with last Saturday, we picked up our car and noticed that the seat spring was still sitting in the car, implying that the repair place had not fixed the seat which was damaged in the accident. So, we took the car back on Monday, when the repair man was working, he said it would take 20 minutes to put back in and then we could be on our way. "Wonderful" we thought! After 40 minutes of waiting our service rep came into the waiting area to inform us that the seat was more complex than they anticipated, they would need to send the car to the Volkswagen dealer to have a new seat installed. We were told the car would be ready to be picked up Wednesday night. Then, Wednesday afternoon John received the most unbelievable call, evidently when the technician was driving our car back from the dealer,...

A Recent Note to my Mentee's, enjoy learning from my lessons, please don't repeat them! So sorry it was been a few weeks since I have checked up on you. I pray you are all doing well and enjoying this wonderful Spring weather!. Have you been enjoying the sermon series on Finances? I would like to encourage you all this week to make sure your trust lies solely in the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, not in bank accounts, insurance, or possessions. Please e-mail or call me with your prayer requests; I feel it a privilege to pray for you. The Lord has been teaching me yet another lesson in faith. I had hoped that with all the lessons thus far I would have handled my latest challenge with a bit more grace. May I encourage you to analyze where your hope and assurance resides so you don't have to make the same mistake as me? At the beginning of the Crown Financial bible study I read about a man who had just bought a new car and within days was in an accident, his response: "...

March 10, 2007 Where has the time gone? It is Spring so soon! My bulbs are rising above the cold soil and the Jasmine is in full bloom. John has been busy working on my flower beds in the back yard in anticipation of more planting space. Our rental car/suv has come in so handy, hauling dirt and timbers from the store to our back yard. Today, I planted tomatoes, zinnias, carrots, and green beans. I also planted another dwarf holly bush in the side yard. Home Depot had Magnolia trees on sale so we will have one planted in the backyard soon. Drew has been sick most of the week; it finally peaked on Thursday when the fever jumped up to 103 degrees. Last night (Friday) was quite fun, Drew was up until 12:00 am , then up again at 4:00 am , and 7:30 am . All three times the Motrin had worn off and his fever and chills had come back in full force. Poor little guy! Drew was so excited to be able to sleep in mommy and daddy's bed; he cuddled with John and the two of them slept until 11:30 a...

I earnestly pray that our family will understand the incredible greatness of Your power for us who believe in You.O, hear the cry of this mother's heart, and, by Your infinite grace, answer her prayer. In the precious name of Jesus, Amen.
