football, soccer and cheerleading oh my

the season is upon us. ug. My goal for this season, beyond survival, is to have some kind of meal prepared even if we all can't eat together. Last year we ended up eating pizza way way to much. Today I hate it. We also frequented sub shops, the BK lounge and blech McDonald's. Our first night into the season, yesterday, I blew it. I forgot I was serving a meal at church and I was not taking everyone with me so I didn't prepare for those left home. Me and the servers had fried chicken and potatoes and green beans, those left at home got to have pizza with daddy. ug.

Tonight I made ham with apple slices and honey drizzled on top and sweet potatoes. At the last minute the girls ride back to our sons football practice cancelled and my husband had to leave before dinner taking my football player with him, he dropped off my cheerleaders who gobbled down dinner and I had to take one of them to a mission trip meeting while the other babysat. So at 8:24 my husband and son are finally eating.

oh my soccer player got a great dinner with her grandparents.

tomorrow is vision therapy from 11 - 2, cheerleading from 3 to 8, football from 6 to 8 and my daughter goes to her cousins at 10 to leave for Guatemala in the early am.

I am tired already.

Anyway, he was speaking of the Old Testament being about Jesus and the New Testament being about Jesus. He reviewed many prophesies fulfilled and it was beautiful to be reminded of all that Jesus has done and will do. It is all about Jesus! Out of all the things he said the thing that struck me the most was that the Bible is not a self-help book. Big deal you say. Think about this. How many books in the Christian book store are self-help books. If you do this, you will get this result. If you have this problem read, pray and meditate on this verse, chapter, principle etc. The Bible is not some rule book. Follow the rules and you will get xyz. If you have this problem and follow this formula your results will be..... That is not to say that there is not instruction and warning and tho...

Jordan Lee entered this world still on February 10, 2011 at 10:35 pm weighing 3 ounces and was 7 inches long. He was a perfectly formed baby boy. He was in his 16th week of pregnancy. This is his story. After his big brothers birth, his mom and dad wrestled with trusting God to bring more blessings. In April of 2010 they took a huge leap of faith and said yes to God. They began praying for him, asking God for a brother for his brothers and sisters to grow up with and to help teach him to serve and love one another and God. They discovered he was on the way on their 24 th Anniversary. They kept this little one a secret and struggled through fatigue and nausea waiting for the day it was safe to share the news. They were waiting for his mother’s first doctor’s appointment to confirm he was safe before sharing this joyous news. The plan was to begin doctor visits on February 1 st . On January 19 th his mother had some cramping and spotting. It was just once but ther...

the worst thing he could think of

We were reviewing the Passover story and I asked what happened when the Pharoah refused to let the Isrealites go. Josiah yelled out. " oh, I know, he sent frogs, bugs, and carrots". Carrots!!! I just love moments like these.
