Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Ps. 119:11

It has been my goal to start memorizing verses. I found this great information about the Bible Bee and am excited to begin. I think that this is really great to get kids excited about.

Here are some great study tools for yourself and the family...

God... Why!

Ahh...

I think God has a funny bone and a continues to smile at his children. Even when I think he is not as funny and he might think he is... does that make sense?

I got a few for him...

Why do I pray, sow, and fast for my family and we are still not close??? -no offensive to anyone*

Why does the second Leah and I get one thing taken care of, then something else pops up?

Why is GR winters so long and suckie??

Why does good things happen and then the things that we have had chances to change in the past, rear their ugly heads and almost cause the good to be undone?

Why do I question the goodness of the father, or test him all the time?

Why is Charlotte so cute, lol???

How come we can finish the work that has nothing to do with the kingdom in days and forget about the kingdom work and just can't quite finish what God has place in front of us?


I has so much weighing on my heart... it will be funny to see how we fare at this next test.

hmm,

My husband

1. Provision
How does he provide for me and Charlotte? I think it goes far beyond a paycheck. He gives his family spiritual guidance by exemplifying cadence though sowing, meditation, regular fasting, and joyful noise.
He also provides around the 'home'. He cooks, cleans, launders clothes, fixes the cars, keeps gas in the cars, just to name a few...

2. Love
Early on in our relationship, we learned our love languages as individuals so that we can grow together as a couple. We are still learning (like every healthy relationship) how to best love each other through life's exciting and challenging times. He has worked harder at loving me in ways that may not always be easy for any man to give and give willingly.
3. Partner mentality
My husband is mindful of communicating plans for our family, money management,

Songs can speak words...

This is such a great song for the world dealing with Haiti and other problem. A call to action. Special prayer for all those victims of that tragic earthquake 1/11/2010.

Rest in peace Teddy.

Wake up everybody no more sleepin in bed
No more backward thinkin time for thinkin ahead
The world has changed so very much
From what it used to be so
there is so much hatred war an' poverty
Wake up all the teachers time to teach a new way
Maybe then they'll listen to whatcha have to say
Cause they're the ones who's coming up and the world is in their hands
when you teach the children teach em the very best you can.

Wake up all the doctors make the ol' people well
They're the ones who suffer an' who catch all the hell
But they don't have so very long before the Judgement Day
So won'tcha make them happy before they pass away.
Wake up all the builders time to build a new land
I know we can do it if we all lend a hand
The only thing we have to do is put it in our mind
Surely things will work out they do it every time.

The world won't get no better if we just let it be
The world won't get no better we gotta change it yeah, just you and me

Smiling into 2010

I challenge you to smile at yourself in the mirror and make faces. It always works for me. We are to blessed to frown, unless your face is stuck like that and you can't help it.

Smile big and brighten up someone else's day... it catchy!
