From Gods Word Friday #13(4/30/10)

13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy

Wordless Wednesday #10(Spring Break 2010 post #2)

Walking Gatlinburg TN on our 1st evening of Spring Break 2010
My babies.. Princess is now 14, Mr Man 10, Sweet Pea 8 and Little Man 4(well he will be 5 here shortly) Not going to say anymore about this so I can sort of keep it as my Wordless Wednesday Post. :-)

Spring Break 2010 post #1

I know I'm way behind, what's new right?? Anyways here is the 1st post of our Spring Break 2010 We went to Piegon Forge and Gatlinburg TN over Easter..We spent about 5 hours of the 1st day at the pool while DH slept.. He couldn't fall asleep Thursday evening so when we left at 3AM on Friday morning he only had about 1 1/2 hours of sleep.. So the kids and I left him in the room sleeping after driving 8 hours and we went to hang out at the pools.

From Gods Word Friday #12(4/23/10)

Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not

out of all the wonderful verses I have read this week in my Bible study this was not one of them. LOL.. this morning I was in the bathroom just brushing my teeth.. and out of nowhere this verse was running though my head..

Thank you Lord Jesus for your wonderful promise you given to us in this verse.

One day it might happen.

Really it might happen.. One day I might just get back into the swing of thing and start blogging like I use to. In the mean time I'll give ya all a quick update
Over Easter we went on Vacation to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg and Princess got picked up by a team out of Knoxville who was looking for a pitcher to play in a fastpitch tournament the Saturday of Easter. She pitched 4 full games that weekend and 2 of those games she pitched No Hitters.... WOW she was on a roll... I do plan to share a ton of pictures from that trip with you over the next few days.
The weekend after Easter Princess played in another one of her J.O. Volleyball tournament.. Did I mention she made a national/American team this year so the play is alot harder and stronger then we saw last year.. She has one more tournament and then the regional tournament left for J.O. and then it will be over right in time for the travel softball to start there busy season.
This past weekend the boys spent the night with my parents and the girls, DH and I packed up the van headed 3 1/2 hours south and both girls played in there 1st of the season fastpitch tournament with there travel teams. Princess is now playing on a 14U team and Sweet Pea is now 8 years old playing on a 10U team. I'll be blogging more about this weekend with pictures later also..
Besides sports.. the kids are also busy with state testing at school this week.. learning the last of there Awana's verses Sunday is there last Awana's class for the year.. and working on there Awana's derby cars the derby is on May 2nd..

In other news I'm not sure if I have mentioned it here or not but ever since Sweet Pea had mono last year it seems that clothing hurts her.. she says things that are way to big and hanging on her are too tight and everything just bugs her, hurt her and makes her cry when she has to wear them.. After a year of crying everyday about this we are now working with a doctor to try to figure it out.. They did a ton of blood work and found that her Epstein-Barr numbers are till really high.. not high enough to call mono but still really high.. Not sure if this is what the trouble is or not I tend to think it goes hand and hand but her doctor doesn't agree with me. He thinks it is just a coincidences that this started happening at the same time as the Mono.. we are at a waiting point with this as her doctor is trying to help us find another doctor who might be able to help us with this... In any case Please keep Sweet Pea in your prayers.. the poor thing is in pain from her cloths.. and it breaks my heart because there is nothing I can do to help her.

Little Man will be turning 5 years old here in a month or so.. WOW 5 years old.. We got him all signed up for Pre-K for the upcoming fall.. He will be going 4 days a week.. that is going to seem weird seeing how his 4 year old preschool was only a 2 day program.. My baby is growing up..

This is where I'll end for the updates tonight because I'm subbing at one of the elementary schools tomorrow and I'm not in the swing of things getting all 4 kids off to school and myself dressed to work.. So I need to wake up a bit earlier.. Night all.

6 years ago today

6 years ago today I had to say goodbye to the sweet little girl that grew inside of me for 13 week..

funny how time going on but the love I feel for her is still as strong as ever..

Good by little friend.

We will miss you Doogie..
It's a sad day for my sister and family as there dog Doogie fell victim to the coyotes in the woods surrounding there home .. This is not just hard on my sister and there husband who has had Doogie for the last 11 years but also for my two little nieces who are 8 and 3.. Please keep them all in your prayers..

Then Sings My Soul Sunday #6

Like a River Glorious
Frances R. Havergal, 1876

Like a river glorious is God’s perfect peace,
Over all victorious, in its bright increase;
Perfect, yet it floweth fuller every day,
Perfect, yet it groweth deeper all the way.

Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest
Finding, as He promised, perfect peace and rest

Hidden in the hollow of His blessed hand,
Never foe can follow, never traitor stand;
Not a surge of worry, not a shade of care,
Not a blast of hurry touch the spirit there.

Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest
Finding, as He promised, perfect peace and rest

Every joy or trial falleth from above,
Traced upon our dial by the Sun of Love;
We may trust Him fully all for us to do;
They who trust Him wholly find Him wholly true.

Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest
Finding, as He promised, perfect peace and rest
