Just thinking.....

Another day has come and gone and I am sitting here waiting on my sweet husband to get home from working at the church. He is very excited about the new sound booth they are building. I was just on the phone was a long time friend and we were talking about "traditional" church. I am consumed right now with thinking about God's mercy and grace. He is so awesome. I am so happy to serve a God who loves me just as I am. I don't have to pretend to be something that I am not. God knows me and everything about me and he loves me just as I am! The good, bad, and the ugyl. THAT IS AWESOME! I love him so much. My friend and I were talking about how we want to raise our boys to know God in a different way than we were raised. I want my boys to know who they are in Christ and what Christ wants for them. I just went in to check on my two sweet babies who are sleeping right now and I just pray that God raises them up to be Mighty men of God. Open to Him and his will all of their lives. I want them to know his voice even now at their early ages to know and recognize when He is speaking to them and to be obedient to Him and His ways!

Alright I will stop preaching now. Today was good. Tired but good. Ran errands this morning and did the housewife thing all day. Thank God for another blessed day.....night night!!!

My Weekend....

Today will have to be a day of recovery..... we have had a lonnnnggg weekend. Where do I begin, Friday night Candy and I decided to surprise our two hard working men and go to the church without children and meet them for supper. We been missing our men!!!!

Saturday OH MY LORD!!! 5:30 am came early after going to bed at 2:30 but we had a yard sale. It was fun! Candy and Mom came over to sale too...lots of interesting people yard sale! We made some cash and now we will get that sound booth built at the church. YEAH!!
After the yard sale it was off the the bowling alley for a birthday party. Eli had a blast. It was good to see old friends.
Then we were back home to get ready to get ready for a wedding. THANKS MARY for watching the kids! Candy thanks for being my date too. Our hubbies were still working hard.....(the church looks AWESOME!!!!!) The wedding was sweet and the reception nice. We had a good time with those little cameras they leave on each table for special memories. They will have lots of funny memories from our camera!!! We had fun shaking our booty with Tiffany too. She looked pretty despite the tear stained face from seeing little bro get married!

Sunday was good! Church was awesome. Little Hara was back and that made my week. We had fun in there once again!!! The cafe is beautiful and the new couch, comfy... just ask Candy. She was catching some zzzzz's on it after church. Lunch was great with our new friends Amanda and Danny. YUMMY, YUMMY food. Their new house is beautiful! Last night was fun too... Thanks for coming over Stones and Whams! We had fun. Love you all! After the company left cleaned up and crashed.. Bleeze actually slept until 4:30 without getting up! PRAISE GOD!!!

Today marks a new week and I am excited to see what God is going to do this week. I know that we are going to be blessed beyone measure and He has big things ahead for us. Now I am off to my job of being a mommy this morning.

tired, mad, going to bed...

I don't even feel like blogging tonight. I am tired mad and I am going to bed!!!!!!!!

shopping. chucke cheese, Krispy Kreme....three greats!

Today I spent most of the afternoon shopping for a dress to wear to a wedding this weekend. I bet I tried on 75 dresses. I tell you, I am so glad that we don't dress up for church anymore. I HATE dresses! I finally found one.... good old black!!!! After 6 different stores.......

The boys and me joined Candy and her girls at Chucke Cheese tonight. FUN FUN FUN!!! Bleeze was so cute. He and Gracie LOVED Chucke! They kept hugging him. They were so cute. Bleeze learned quickly how the games system worked. He kept saying...."put the money in, put the money in" it was sooo cute.

The highlight of the night for me was the trip to good old Krispy Kreme... Heaven on Earth when that light says "HOT NOW" Got a little piece of heaven tonight......

Got the boys home, bathed, both in bed and now I am just chilling out watching TV. Waiting on my sweet hubby to come home. He and Shane have been working on the church sign. I can't wait to see how it looks. I have another good feeling about this weekend. Hopefully we will have more visitors this week and all the ones from last week will show back up! GOD IS AWESOME!I can only expect good things!

Cleaning, Cleaning, and more cleaning

Today was my weekly cleaning a day late! I am worn out!!!! I cleaned this house from top to bottom. Now, I am just sitting in the backyard with the boys watching them play and dance.

After a day of cleaning I went to the grocery store and we went to the Got Milk? campaign. The boys got free cartons of milk, milkshakes and their picture made to look like they were standing with Cheryl Crow with milk mustaches....LOL!

I needed to go to Earth Fare so we had dinner at a yummy new little place called Walter's Country Cooking....Country Cooking is what is was and the country girl in me loved it!!!

Now we are home and the boys are getting grouchy and whiney and I just want to go plop in the recliner and watch American Idol and LOST!

Thank God for Starbucks and Friends

Last night marked the last night of my biweekly Bible study before summer break. For our last study we went to Starbucks......MY FAVORITE! It was awesome! I love the saying "you might as well call it crack" about coffee b/c for me I know it is true. I just finished a yummy cup and am starting another one right now as I blog. Back to the Bible study. We each shared our favorite Bible Verse and why it is important to us. It was great to hear what each lady and to share and why this verse held such an importance to them. I am so thankful for this group of ladies. They were awesome! I look forward to our monthly summer meetings and I can't wait to start back up in the fall!!

Here is the verse that I shared last night.
"It is because of the Lord's mercy and loving-kindness that we are not consumed, because His [tender] compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great and abundant is Your stability and faithfulness." Lamentations 3:22-23
This verse is awesome because it gives me the assurance that I do not have to be consumed with all the things life throws at me but I can be encouraged because I know that his mercy, loving-kindness, and compassions fail not and they are new EVERYDAY! God is always stable and faithful when all else fails!!!!

Is it a full moon????

I know it is not, but boy my two boys sure act like it. They are wild as bucks!!! Let's start this morning. Bleeze poured syrup out all over the kitchen floor and then sat in it....YUCK! Everything was a sticky mess.... Eli then later today poured popcorn out all over the floor. I think I am going nuts. They both seem to have their own agendas today. Running, yelling, fighting.......whewwww...... Right now though, Eli just finished homeshool and is playing in the box our new TV came in and Bleeze is sleeping. PRAISE THE LORD FOR SILENCE!!!!
