one more praise.

The young man from the hammock accident talked yesterday for the first time and could move his shoulders. :) SO, YEAH GOD ! As the swelling diminishes may he regain full use. :)
Connie said that they weren't boyfriend and girlfriend.. (just assumed) just friends.

Thursday.

Today is Thursday and it is slow again. I hate slow. It makes the day take forever. :)
There are always the books that need to be ordered and the ones that come in that need to be put into the program and stamped and stickered and then always some books needing to be put away. These are the only things I have going right now, besides transfering everything from one calendar to another new one.
Dad is on a new and different roof today. One that needs to be done ASAP and so the weather needs to cooperate.
Pray that I will have a restful weekend.. that Dad will be able to accomplish his task.
PRAISE that someone gifted Jason and Crystal with 5K for a vehicle. :)
Pray for Matt and Charrie as someone tried to break into their house in the wee hours of the morning last friday, scaring them both... and since, she is having some fear related issues. :(
.......God place a hedge around Matt and Charrie's house and don't allow the evil one to keep her afraid. Give her a spirit of peace and the ability to be home alone with out any fear....
Praise....Emma is growing good and looking sweet. Pray for rest for Tyler and Connie and that Emma would be a calm, sweet little girl with a heart for Jesus.
I love my children. Wish we were closer. miss our SUNDAY meals together. hUGS and kisses to all.

Frustration.

This week has been somewhat hard. Because I am the only one here to answer phones. so far. and I haven't felt really great. Fighting a cold. but no one to take my place so I couldn't stay home. :) Oh well... such is life sometimes and I will try not to be a perpetual complainer.
This week was another week of sadness for our community.

A couple from Grace went out for a late night walk( she a freshman volleyball player from a town close by and he a senior from Iowa and they ended up sitting on a hammock down by the park. This was probably a hammock that just belongs to one of the homes down there, because I don't think that the park has any hammocks in it.. but peoples yards run way down by the lake where people can still walk.
Well, one side of the hammock was tied to a 6 ft. dead tree. and when they both sat down it broke off at the bottom and came flying at them, killing the girl instantly and trapping the guy under her with the tree on top. He had neck injuries and couldn't talk or yell. So, while they are lying there someone else... by Gods rich grace came along for a midnight walk and heard some moaning. Went over and then called 911. This young man has been through 2-5 hour surgeries and has an extremely badly damaged spine. The Dr. said that he hasn't seen any spinal injury this bad and it looks as though he will be a quadropalegic ( can't spell) but who knows what God has in mind as the huge horrible swelling around his spine goes down. It was not broken.. but moved way out of place and so GOD can do a miracle for this young man.. That is what we are praying for. Please pray with us.

Today at work

Here I am at work and it is 12:30. I should be done with tons of things and I am not.. wonder why? :) I am here that is why. I am fighting sickness and stayed home all day yesterday. It was painful to my back to be down most of the day.. and then I sneezed this morning and threw something out. Good grief. ) I'm Old.
It was fun to go in this weekend and see pictures of our newest addition to the Boyd bunch... Matt and Charrie's dear little one. and then to go on this morning and see darling pictures of our Emma.
She even has a cute little dimple. ;) SO happy to see her getting dedicated to the Lord. :) Glad to see my kids walking in the truth. I pray every day for the little lives entrusted to my children. They are all very precious to Him and to me. :)
I have a busy day ahead.. and meeting tonight... and also must get ready for Cubbies on Wednesday night. :) I am happy to be able to help teach little ones about Jesus. I thought I was getting to old for some of this.. but no, it is a marvelous outlet for me. For art and other reasons.

September 2010

So here it is September already. My kids are wonderful about putting pictures up and doing the daily/weekly blog thing and I can't seem to get here but once a year. :)
Now that I am here to inspect my one daughter/Sons blog and see the new little baby growing.. and my other daughter/son's blog and see my new granddaughter growing through pictures, maybe I will remember to come here more.
It has been a really really hard year, so far, with dear friends dying and sadness. But also, it has been exciting to watch God work in the lives of his people.
I think that God is getting ready to do something really really big on this old planet and surprise us all. I am ready for it. ... or maybe not. :) I would like to think that I am ready. But what have I done for God. .... would he find me faithful? I need to get prepared LIKE the bridesmaids.. and have my lamp burning brightly. GOD, it is my prayer that I could be a light for you in my world.

Off that theme.....
It is 5 and time to go.. and tonight is NO WAY JOSEA's taco tuesday. :) Den is helping Jim and Tammie to remodel a rental. God is good and gives us good friends to be a blessing to. He made the moon reflect the SUN. :)LOVE HIM!!
