Hubby Hurt foot

Ok, hubby's foot might be something else and not gout. His foot is so huge.We will take him to the doctor's today.

Mom-John 15:1-8 Your life is significant! God has chosen you and He wants you to bear much fruit, but for some reason many of us are held back by our thoughts, we might say I am not worthy, good enough, or why did God make me this way, etc.. these thoughts hold us back from being productive. Are your fruits drawing people near, so that you can give God the glory? If not, what changes do you need to make, not just words but actions, so others will want what you have, and that’s Jesus.

Games last night

We had so much fun last night. We played drawing, drawing. What we did was had 2 teams, 3 on each team and a person timing. We each started a pic and had to draw for 20 seconds, then when timer sounded, we had to switch with the person next to us and add to their drawing, we switched 3 times, as there were 3 people on our team. We also tried doing it blindfolded. The kids had so much fun, and the outcome of the pics were funny.

We also played, hide objects. I gathered 10 items, and allowed the kids to look at them for 5 seconds. I then hid the items in the room and they had one minute to find them all. If they picked something that was not on the list they lost a point. I then gathered 10 more, and did the same thing. Then we hid all 20, giving them 1.5 minutes. This was a lot of fun.

Mom-John 16:5-15 What is keeping God's glory from being the most desired goal in your life? What do you think would change in your life if God's glory became the number one desire? My hope is that we would ALL run hard after Jesus. What's holding you back, laziness, fear, time, busyness...? Make changes even if it means you have to give... up your sleep, tv or whatever time. God has a way of restoring us, when we take the time for Him.

Snow day again!

No school again today. I am so excited for spring to come. I have to come up with a project for all the kids to work on today. Maybe we should work on a study of Easter.

Mom- "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he" Prov 3:7

Do ya ever stop to think about what you are thinking about? God’s word says that we need to know the thoughts we have inside of us, they are important to Him. What we think about will come out in our attitude and actions. We are setting the course of our lives by our thoughts, be sure they line up with what the Lord says about us. He has great plans for us.

Workgroup left

Well, the workgroup left a few days ago. We were supposed to go to KC, but all got sick. We have been home playing games. We have NOT been cleaning. My house looks it too. The kids are coming back tomorrow and have much to do.



Mom-Sometimes we see little because we believe little. My life is a living miracle, Jesus miraculously changed me. He changed my heart and my soul. He moved the mountain of a selfish, self-focused destructive heart. He’s still moving mountains from my life. I pray that I never get to a place where I am not teachable or where I am not obedient to correction. Everything is possible to the one who believes (Mark 9:23)

Mega cleaning today

Hmmm...I have to get organized with the cleaning today. We have 10 college kids coming to stay with us. I will have much cooking to do today. Oh yeah, and have to make valentines cookies for all the kids classes.

Dad-2Kings 13 Our sin can hinder us from the fullness of God

Mom-John 1:1-5 Is there any kind of darkness that keeps trying to hinder me to keep the Light shining through me. Remember to be alert with what's coming at me and also be willing to be corrected.

Yes! Kids have school today.

Well, I thought school would be cancelled again. I am so thankful that it's not. I have much to do today, as a work group is coming in tomorrow, which has 53 college students signed up. It could be more or less. I guess we will have about 10 people staying at our house.

Dad-2 Kings 14 God can use the wicked people to accomplish His will

Mom-John 1:14-18 Are you spending your time in furious pursuit for the Life Giver? What would happen in your life if you really started enjoying Him? He is willing to show you, are you seeking?

Peace

Oh no, school cancelled again today!

Dad-2 Kings 15- Seek what the Lord wants and seek Him only

Mom- Pslm 27:13 No matter what you are going through, know that the Lord has your best interest at heart. Don't look at your circumstances, look to the Lord, He is your rescurer. He is your everything.

Hubby's Birthday

Hubby's b-day. Wow, are we middle aged now? That's hard to believe. I used to think it was old. My perspective has changed. I am so blessed to have such a great hubby, one that runs hard after the Lord. He is one that constantly wants to change and die to self so that the Lord can use him. I love that so much about him. We actually celebrated his b-day last night and the night before I made him his shake-n-bake chicken (I know, not chops) Looking forward to a great day. Yes, we do have family staff time today, but that's OK. Oh yeah, and we have to meet with attorney for the kids and oh yeah, we have a function at the school tonight, oops and tutoring for the kids tonight. Good thing we are celebrating his b-day next week. Yes, we will be going to Kansas city for 3 days.

Dad- 2 Kings 16 We have to keep focused on the Lord or we will do things that we will regret later

Mom- 1 John 2:15-17 Are you one that the Lord can trust with giving words and one in whom He can work through? Are you growing passionately in love with Him? Are you eager to spend time with your Daddy God. Hurry don’t miss out. He has awesome secrets to tell you, are you listening?

Super Bowl Day.

We are having a Super Bowl Party. Go Colts! Off to early morning service, hopefully the one child will obey today.

Dad- 1 Chro 26- God has people in all the places that He needs them

Mom- Acts14:22 It is necessary to pass through many troubles on our way to the kingdom of God. Even when we allow we allow the enemy to cause us to stumble, God is working behind the scenes. Many times our breakthroughs/revelations come after we stumble. Keep your eyes on the prize.

What's in your Heart?

Snow...ok, Lord I will LOVE the snow. You showed me the little treasures in the snow today. We made snow ice-cream, which is very easy to make 1 gallon of snow, 2 cups of milk, 1 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon vanilla, mix all together and enjoy. I loved playing outside with the kids and hearing them giggle and have a good time.

Dad- 1 Chron 25 God loves praise and worshop that is going to glorify Him

Mom- 1 John 2:24-27 We were built for adventure. What's holding you back from surrendering your ALL to Jesus? Are you just squeezing time in to spend with Him? Are you excited to spend time with Him each day expecting Him to show you little nuggets of truth and correction? Run to Him to see what treasures He has for you each day.

Conviction!

Dad- 1 Chron 24 We all are given gifts and should operate in them whenever we can

Mom- We need to celebrate that the Lord created us uniquely different. We should use our differences to serve others. It's an awesome thing that God didn't create us into cookie-cutter images. Remember the Lord is busy molding you into someone NO one else has ever been. You are God's created masterpiece. God has equipped you with ALL that you need.Don't let others try to mold you into the way they think you should look. Lord forgive me for trying to mold others and expecting others to run whole heatedly after you. This is a struggle for me, Lord help me to just love on them, exactly where they are.

Family time today

Dad- 1 Chron 23 All roles are important to God

Mom- Acts 12:1-5 Are you willing to grow intimate with the Lord even if it means you must do it alone? How dependent are you on others for your relationship with Jesus? Have you really surrendered your spouse, children and parents to Him? Let go of everything and let God really change you.

Active Day today

Dad- 1 Chron 22- We don't always understand why God has us do something a certain way. His ways are not our ways

Mom- Acts 8 Are you prejudice in any areas of your life- Do you judge those that don't seem to be on the same walk as you are? Oh, Lord, forgive me and help me to walk the way you want me to walk. Keep my fire burning no matter what everyone else is doing.

We have an active week ahead of us.

I am so glad that we are back into small groups. I knew that we were really missing something.

Today we are working on Asia, Solomn and making a shoebox for Bethany, which she will share with one of her friends. It will be about her life, pics and stories.

Dad- 2 Kings 21 Sometimes fighting evil can bring about a great deal of backlash

Mom-Acts 8:1-13 Lord I want to be one that I will say I am grateful in difficult times, knowing all the while you are making me stronger, so that others can see you in me. I always want to be dependent on you in ALL area of my life.
