Long time...no blog!
Glad to grab a minute to catch you up!
Things around here are more than CRAZY!!!!
I seem to be stretching myself more than thin - does that ever happen to you?
Working retail is hectic this time of year and doesn't slow down until early January. Things are going fast, fast, fast.
However, Mike and I have decided to make the time for another date night (or date day)! I am so excited....He still makes me giddy like a school girl every time he bats his long eyelashes at me!
I know....I'm a sucker for my man!!!
The kids are trucking right along in school! The youngest one has now started a 26 week "pre-school" lesson! It should take her through the alphabet and number up to ten! It's been great for Mike to have the lessons! They involve movement and that's great for any 4-year old - ya know!
Mike is almost finished with his GED prep work! OH what prayers have been asked and answered concerning school! What a difficult choice it was to go back and do all that needed to be done in order to please God! He is the one who made it all possible for Mike and the spiritual growth goes without saying!!! It's fantastic - he should be able to take the GED before Christmas! BEFORE Christmas! I smell a fantastic party coming - you???!!!
I have been invited to speak at RENEWED Conference for Women. It is held locally - in Lexington. Renewed comes each spring and brings with it a well-known speaker as well as many breakout sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. A catered lunch is provided in the ticket cost and it is always enough to make you want a quick nap before session 2 in the afternoon!
The Lord quickened me to share something "deeper" than normal this coming year. I will be speaking on the "Feasts of the Lord". It is a fantastic topic that I have been reading and studying about for several months. It simply facinates me to learn about the history of Isreal, why God chose the feasts he did, and how they related to the arrival, sacrifice, and resurection of our Lord! I hope it intrigues you to take a look as well.
As usual and as I am able, I will be happy to share tidbits from what I learn.. you know I can't stop myself!!! As the conference approaches, I will be sure to update you with info and link over the website! It's always blessed me to attend and now that God has begun allowing me to share his word with women, I gain so much more spiritually than I could have ever imagined!
And just in case I'm unable to blog again before the coming holiday!
HAPPY GOBBLE-GOBBLE Y'ALL!!! STUFF THE TURKEY NOT YOURSELF!!!

Some Things STILL Remain.....
Well...Give God Praise...He is high and lifted up and He loves to meet our needs...Give God Praise...Give God Praise...Let His Spirit soar within...Give God Praise.
This is where my family and I stand on the aftermath of Decision '09.
No bells or whistles. No shouting for a joyous victory with either candidate. No high fives or screaming telephone calls. No tears. No laughter. Just confidence that no matter who would be PLACED (yes, placed...) as Leader of this nation, God's hand would still be in solid control!

God bless the Obama family and comfort the McCains. Because no matter what the future holds due to this election...some things will still ring true....
- The Bible will still have ALL the answers.
- Prayer will still work.
- The Holy Spirit will still move.
- God will still inhabit the praises of His people.
- There will still be God-anointed preaching.
- There will still be singing of praise to God
- God will still pour out blessings upon His people.
- There will still be room at the Cross.
- Jesus will still love you.
- Jesus will still save the lost.
Please, please, please, pray that Satan will not gain a foothold in the body. Pray against sin of any nature that might bring discord among God's people. Pray for the Obam's...regardless of emotional leading...Pray for the Bidens...Pray that God's people will seek his face like never before.

Catching Up!
Hello My Darlings!
I've missed writing...a lot!
If you've been reading my "whining", you've noticed that I am in the throes of a particularly difficult season of my life, my spiritual walk, and parenting...(referring to the teenage boy!)
I am still employed as a Cake Decorator and as holiday season approaches, my sleep time gets shorter and shorter! Any day now we will probably go on 6-days a week! My husband will be thrilled to say the very least! I'm sure he just can't wait to have twice as many days with out me as he does now! Whew....what this will do to promote my marriage to the next level, eh?
Mike is still continuing to persevere to the end of his GED! He's almost there and what a blessing that is! He has completed all of his math and still has some LA and Science! This is a complete answer to prayer! Seeing this through has done wonders for my Sweetie! I couldn't possibly begin to write about all of them, but I can name just a few: confidence (not in self, but in God who sees us through all things), knowledge, focus, retention (as in memory), perseverance, and of course an all new prayer life! He is still contemplating continuing school to gain a Welder's Certification. I am so very pleased with his accomplishments and his dedication to completing this particular "leg" of his journey! I see God working in Mikey every day and it's a great pleasure to be able to thank God for answered prayer!
The children are all healthy and spunky as ever! Some of the 4-yr old's mischievous ways have subsided (although I believe it to be lying in wait!). She has now crossed into "I wanna do school too, Mommy!" So the knowledge seeking begins for Brenna Gail. The 7-yr old is still trudging through Phonics in an effort to learn to read! Some days are great and other days are yet wanting! It's been slow going, but she increases everyday! The teenage boy...wel...he's in a world ALL HIS OWN and we are not welcome or often invited to visit there! (not that we WANT to go into that world or anything!) I guess it's just typical teenage behavior, but it certainly has increased our prayer lives as parents! Ryan is a good child though, and he does love the Lord. For that, we are so very thankful!
Mike and I are planning our "Date" for the month of November. We had such a great time last date, that we are planning to repeat the same of tryst this time! Move and Food! I can't wait! Having days off through the week to spend with Mikey is fantastic! I just love it! We sleep in (that means past the 4:00 AM I usually wake up at), eat all our meals together and talk or watch old movies together! He's such treasure! I love him more and more everyday!
And me...well...I'm still trusting God! Enough said!
Love you all, Ten Thousand Blessings,
