So a whirlwind of a weekend has come and gone, and now onto what this week will hold. 
Thursday night we had a ladies prayer meeting at my Grandmothers home( specifically for me) I am so humbled and very thankful for the preachers wife Jesus has sent us!! 
Friday night was our Bible Study, and we had a good time together, and the Holy Spirit was so sweet and near. 
Saturday was spent preparing for Sunday.

Sunday found us VERY tired from the few hours of sleep we had gotten, ( actually a whole week of little to no sleep) but Jesus helped us in Sunday School, and Church.
We were so excited to see "our" kids again!
 They had been sick, and some still were, but we were so glad to have them back. 
I think I am utterly exhausted, so plan to go ahead and give the girls the day off school, after all it is a 'holiday" 

Have you ever went through a period of life where you KNEW you were in GODS perfect will, yet had the enemy fight SO hard? 
That is where I find myself...
 God is doing Wonderful things and we are so thrilled to see HIS working and moving.. 
I think it is because we have another VERY important weekend coming up. 
Our valley Youth Rally from all the churches will be held at our church on Friday night June 1st. PLEASE COME and SPREAD THE WORD!


We are very excited for that.. 
We also have some potential MAJOR changes about to take place in our life over the next few months, would you please pray for us that we would get the mind and will of the Lord on this matter?!?!


I trust each and everyone of you have a wonderful Memorial Day! 


Love and Prayers.

Another long night!

I just want to let you all know how much your prayers mean to us!!! I FEEL THEM!!
I am very tired, not had much sleep.. This week has been crazy, and I know it is just the enemy trying to get me discouraged.. but I GOT MY FOOT ON THE ROCK AND MY MINDS MADE UP!!! 

The good Lord helped me to get more done for our Bible Study on Friday night, I got to bed around 5 or 6 am yesterday morning... got a few hours sleep and was hoping to get to bed early tonight but didn't happen . 
My heart rate is sitting at 120 right now, thankful it isn't worse but still is to uncomfortable to lay down and sleep. 
Maybe I will get some more research done tonight, grade papers, look for more books for the girls to read.. I can hardly keep up with them.. At this rate Kelsey and Shania are wanting to graduate High School together and go to college together.. So Kelsey has kicked into over drive... 

They are doing very well, and I am so thankful for each day we get to spend together. Kelsey had what we like to call " A light bulb moment" yesterday. She realized she wanted to build a few more educational blocks onto her foundation, and has been inspired!! LOVE IT!!

She took up teaching herself how to sew a few months ago, she has started making modest clothes for barbies, and wants to sell them to families with little girls. They are very stylish and cute. She has really got the hang of it and has been having a great time doing it. If she isn't doing that she is reading her Bible or Books, studying English or Science, and has slowly started enjoying math again ( after detoxing off of ACE) Our girls just got so board with ACE, it was not challenging enough for them and they like to not only work out of a book but actually experience what they are learning. 

Kaity is coming right along with leaps and bounds, since helping in Sunday School ( She is in charge of the crafts) It has REALLY made her want to become a teacher even more. We think that is neat =) 
They all three want to work for the Lord, time will tell where He leads them. 

Hard to believe we are already at the middle of the week, so much to do!!! 
Want to give glory, honor, and praise to Jesus for helping us through each day, and trial. 

God Bless!!

Random Ramblings

So I can not sleep and it is the middle of the night... Seemed I was starting to relax when Shania gave me a nice foot massage. But here I sit in front of the computer, waiting for my body to..... let me lay down. 
Kelsey made 3 dozen cookies last night for us to take when we go visit the bus kids, we want to meet their parents and just let them know we love them. Please pray Jesus helps us to do this on our way to church. 
Our first Bible Study is coming up this Friday night, and I would GREATLY appreciate your prayers. I shouldn't say first Bible Study, but first in a long time!!! 

God is doing some AMAZING things here in the valley of the sun, and it is making the enemy mad!! So we all just need to keep doing what we have been, praying for one another and sticking together in this thing. 

We are excited for Youth Rally on June 1st @ our church, Bro.David and Bro.Hunt and Bro.Daniel and not sure who else, I know Bro.Nathan from Tuscon church will be speaking to the youth, and there will be games afterwards. All the area churches are invited and looking forward to it. 
It is a bit of a hard night for our family, as two very special young people are graduating high school on this same night. We have been planning for this for a long time, but with being involved in the church and working with the youth, we must first stick to our commitment, though it is a hard one emotionally. Our hearts will be in two places on this evening. I know the Lord understands and I pray He blesses their graduation in such a special way, as well as our service that night. 

June 18-24th is Palm Dale camp over in Palm Dale California, you do NOT want to miss out on this camp!!! 

And our Kelsey is graduating 8th Grade July 21st!!! 

So busy time for sure, those are just the BIG events, plenty other things are happening too. 

We have got to get her pictures done by next week, so we are not pushed like last year with Shania's pictures. We wanted out-door shots back when the weather was nice, but of course me being in the hospital didn't help, nor did other things.. but that is OKAY!!! We will just do some really nice indoor locations, and maybe grab a few outdoor ones and I know Jesus will help us get some really nice ones. 
We are praying for a little jacket she can wear over her dress for the graduation, the sleeves are to short and it is such a beautiful dress.. God cares about every little detail, I know He will answer this one!!! Would you pray also? THANK YOU!!

I guess that is enough ramblings for now, I have pictures I need to get uploaded to the computer, but that is not in the top 20 TO DO things on my list right now =) 

Have a great week everyone!!

Hospital stay #? Lost count

So a few random pictures from my latest stay in (prison) CCU.. Lol

Yes I am woman enough to show my worst side, that way it might make my better side... The more appealing!
Ha.... 
So anyway, my dear hubby spoils me rotten. 
I was not happy that I didn't have time to plan my CCU over night stay, or spruce up my mani/pedi!!!!!
So, he ran down to the car to get my emergency "kit" from the car.  (remember this was not planned- thus why purse set was not available)
You ask.... Why?????  Glad you asked!

I did not want my DR & all his croneys exposed to.... Okay call it pride..... I was not about to let him see my uneven toenails..

Come on, don't even try and act like you don't think like that. 
Nothing is private in the hospital.  Specially when ya have people poking at ya every hour.

And with it being Mothers Day weekend,  my awesome husband ran over to the local target to buy me a brand new headset. The kind that is like a suction cup over your ears. (needed for the... Umm...  how shall I say.... Mentally challenged lab people)
So I can listen to my worship music, stick out both arms, let them poke & talk to themselves as to why they can't find a "good " vein, because they are over worked.  Or, am I a "Acts 2:38" Christian? Because my hair is so long. 
I wonder what other part of the Bible I fit in when I put my hair up? Lol

Now all bets are off when I have weirdo on crack who is trying to figure out how to get blood out of my "Acts 2:38 " veins, reach out to TOUCH one said hair!!!!
Back up out of my kewlade people... Back it up. 

So having said all that, I am still kicking it, have no desire to go back, disagree with the plan my DR wants & have this wonderful life God blesses me with to live :)

God is up to something big!!!!!

Hope you enjoyed my ramblings!!







Quick pic after church yesterday!

The sun was bright!!

Happy Mothers Day

So Blessed to have an awesome family! Even charlie gave me a card

Thankful to have gotten out of the hospital in time to be home for Mothers Day! 
We were hoping to make it to church,  but I am still very weak. 
So we will worship here at home!

God is so very good!!!

Hope you all have a wonderful day with your family!
