It has definitely been awhile

and really have nothing exciting to write, but I figured I would update somehow. Life here is good. I am trying really hard to pay attention to my actions and be more attentive to the rest of the family. It is mostly working. I still have those days, and they usually come about day 25 of the 28 day cycle. I am also determined to do more with the kids school work. I am trying to diet and work out. I have promised myself some new clothes, if I can lose some weight. Unfortunately, the time I will have the money, I will not have acheived my goal. So maybe just a couple of shirts. lol Anyway, that is the best I can do for now. I dont' this even gets read, but I am going to try to update a little more often!

Rain, one way or another!

Tues, our Governor held a prayer service on the state capital to pray for rain, because Ga is VERY dry. I have some friends in the ministry in Atlanta, and they said Perdue was being given a very hard time, which I have seen some of that on the news.

IT RAINED! From what I understand, there was no rain in the forecast, and we didn't get much yet, but God will not be mocked! He will show the people His power and His goodness! I love it!!!!!

Now, on a side note, I believe that until the people truly repent, and fall on their faces before our all Holy God, we will stay in this drought. We need the Spirit to rain down on us in a way that will far surpass the wetting of a physical rain.

2 Chronicles 7:14 (King James Version)
14If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

They are missing out?

We recently changed churches. We love our new church, but there is a larger youth group. I guess that is a good thing, but the kids are "pressuring" my kids to go to public school. They keep telling them everything they are missing out on. Aaron, 13, and Holly, almost 12, keep mentioning school, like maybe they are interested. Now, not trying to brag, but I have great kids. They have wonderful manners, they are courteous of others, and I feel they still have an innocence about them. So, what are they missing? They are missing drugs, they are missing pressure to wear inappropriate clothing, they are missing seeing class mates pregnant, they are missing fool language at the table, etc. What they are not missing is, their manners, their ability to relate to others, their compassion, their God in their everyday life, an education that is not interrupted by class mates (well, not usually, lol), time at home, time in the Word, peer pressure, and this list can go on. I know the kids are missing out on the "typical" childhood experiences, Praise The Lord! I am so thankful that I have the opportunity and the ability to be able to do this. We could be so much more financially stable if I was working, but I would rather be broke, pinch pennies, and force my kids to miss out!
