To any and all people who prayed last night~~the prayers came thru! Lewis rededicated his life to Christ last night.

He told me that he was saved when he was 10 or 11 (which he never told me), but has done a bunch of bad things since then.

Again to all my readers, THANK YOU. I was one proud wife last night.

Luv to all.

Write ya later

If you read this today....

Please pray tonight!! I need all the prayer surrounding Lewis. Please keep him on your heart tonight!!!

Thank you

What a week

It seemed to go by so slow.

I usually don't take Ross to school except for one day a week. Well~I took him everyday except today. It's a big change for him, so he was very irritable this week. Also, I took him to his psychiatrist on Mon. and she increased his new medicine. I was so sure we were done with his medicine changing, for a little bit at least. They took him off his other medicine because it wasn't working anymore and he was taking a BUNCH of it. Now we are having to play around with this new one. In the meantime, we are dealing with MAJOR mood swings again. Also they have him on another medicine to go to sleep. UGG.

Mark was doing sooooo great with being potty trained. I thought we were done with it. Well, for the last 3 days, he's been back to using his underwear instead of the potty. I don't know if he's not going to like change either (since it was a change to him to have to wake up so early to go with me to take Ross to school) or what is going on in his head. Drives me nutz!

I am performing at my old church Sun morning by myself. It's odd for me to do anything lately by myself, but I feel God telling me I need to do this. Please think of me this Sun morning.

****Please pray for my hubby this Sunday night. HARD. I'm taking him to see a production of Heaven's Gates, Hell's Flames. If you've never seen or heard of this, it's a heart jerker. It hits hard. I'm hoping this with hit hard with my hubby. He's not saved and I am praying this will call to him. PLEASE pray! I need all the prayer surrounding him this Sun night!!! In advance, I thank you.****

Write ya later.

I am not allowed in schools.

How did this get started?
-----------------
Let's see,I think it started when Madeline Murray O'Hare complained she didn't want any prayer in our schools.

And we said, OK..
------------------
Then,someone said you better not read the Bible in school,the Bible that says "thou shalt not kill,thou shalt not steal,and love your neighbors as yourself,"

And we said, OK...
-----------------
Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehaved because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem.

And we said,an expert should know what he's talking about so we won't spank them anymore..
------------------
Then someone said teachers and principals better not discipline our children when they misbehave and the school administrators said no faculty member in this school better touch a student when they misbehave because we don't want any bad publicity,and we surely don't want to be sued.

And we accepted their reasoning...
------------------
Then someone said,let's let our daughters have abortions if they want,and they won't even have to tell their parents.

And we said, that's a grand idea..
------------------
Then some wise school board member said,since boys will be boys and they're going to do it anyway,let's give our sons all the condoms they want,so they can have all the fun they desire,and we won't have to tell their parents they got them at school.

And we said, that's another great idea...
------------------
Then some of our top elected officials said it doesn't matter what we do in private as long as we do our jobs.

And we said,it doesn't matter what anybody,including the President,does in private as long as we have jobs and the economy is good...
------------------
And someone else took that appreciation a step further and published pictures of nude children and then stepped further still by making them available on the Internet.

And we said, everyone's entitled to free speech...
------------------
And the entertainment industry said,let's make TV shows and movies that promote profanity, violence and illicit sex..And let's record music that encourages rape, drugs, murder, suicide, and satanic themes...

And we said,it's just entertainment and it has no adverse effect and nobody takes it seriously anyway,so go right ahead.
------------------
Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong,and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, classmates or even themselves.------------------
Undoubtedly,if we thought about it long and hard enough,we could figure it out.I'm sure it has a great deal to do with...

"WE REAP WHAT WE SOW,"

The church we went to this weekend

You can click on these pictures to get a better view of what I'm showing you (highly recommended to see the detail)

The church was huge and so beautiful. This is in their vestibule. I love how the light comes from behind it. It is hand cut and has scenes from Creation to the Ascension (sp?) The guy said he had blisters the size of his head. He used an exacto knife and the material is like corrugated plastic.

This stained glass is also in the vestibule, but you're so busy looking at those scenes, that you almost miss this. It is very beautiful tho.



The group~had a wonderful weekend, but ready to go home.

Step out of your boat.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow!!

Let me tell you~~I'M FIRED UP FOR GOD!!!!

I went to a Creative Ministry Workshop this weekend. It's for NC and called Curtain Call. Let me tell you~ the Holy Spirit is working in this girl over here!!

If you've never heard of Jeff Smith before~~YOU NEED TO!!! I have performed some of his pieces, but to hear him speak is another experience all together.

One of his things is "Step out of that boat. If you don't, you'll never walk on water. Peter stepped out on faith. We all need to. If an idea comes to you, and it sounds 'out there', ridiculous, impossible, and down right crazy...guess what....that's GOD!! Have faith and get out of your boat and trust Him"

Creative Ministries are an awesome and wonderful way to share God's love. I'm so glad my church has one.

OOOOO. I forgot I haven't told ya the newest. I had the preacher from the new church I'm going to, come to my house Thurs.. I wanted to see if that church would be open to a Creative Ministry team and drama. He saw what we did and says he backs me 100% and will do anything to help me. So I might be doing one there. I feel God leading me to this church.

I'm so excited that this post is taking a bit of time to write cuz I keep getting ahead of myself and misspelling words hehe.

I will post some pictures later of our weekend. The church we went to was HUGE (it's at different cities every year). It was soooo pretty.

Hope everyone else had a great weekend.

Write ya later.

Yesterday

Here's what I came home to yesterday. Someone(s) broke into our house. I am now scared to be home alone, but also scared to be gone from the house. It was done during the day while I had gone to pick Ross up from school. I don't know how much I have cried. It's a lot tho.

Here's top of my dresser. The drawers were gone thru and stuff thrown out. The boxes on the top were gone thru and one emptied.

L's guns were taken

They even took my pillow case. Sorry pic is so small. Blogger wouldn't let me put a bigger pic on.

In the end here's what was taken~

3 of L's guns

L's bow

2 Earnhardt collectible knives

my portable CD player

binoculars

2-way radio

and about 15 dollars in change

We think I scared them off. And THAT's scary. I was trying to hurry the boys into the house. What if we did get into the house sooner? Would we have caught them in the act? Spooky

Whole story~

I walked into the house and looked at my bedroom door noticing it was open. "Odd, I thought. "I thought I left it closed" (due to the cat). I sat down my purse on the counter. I notice on the counter was a frozen pizza and a bag of frozen french fries. "What's going on?" I look up and see the back door open, then see the window broken. I go back to where the boys are getting ready to play Mario. I see the stereo messed up. I'm starting to go balistic. I look into my room and see drawers open everywhere and stuff all over my floor. I called my FIL and went nutz, then called the police. Then we had fun with police all afternoon. Then I had the fun of cleaning up :(

Please pray for me cuz I'm having a REALLY hard time with it. I'm scared they will return. They left some expensive hunting stuff (again thinking I scared them off). The 3 guns together aren't worth as much as the one gun they left. Not the brightest tool(s) in the toolshed!
