I haven't been blogging much.....

Kind of feeling like not much has happened when really things have.

1. I had the most amazing carrot cake that a friend make. Yes not on my plan but honestly it was the best cake I had ever had.

2. I saw the Lord provide for my youngest son in an amazing way. He has been so faithful to him however it is a huge blessing to this mama to see that provision continue when the need arises.

3. My oldest son has blessed my socks off. He amazes me. He surprises me. There are times I worry about this, that or the other about him but then it usually isn't too long where he shows me or the Lord allows me a glimpse into his heart and life and I have peace and know that I am seeing the fruit in his life after many years of sowing into his life and heart.

4. I stood before my church body today and was so blessed. Not because we are a perfect church but just grateful for the body God has placed me in. He has a place for us and although we have only been there about 3 years it amazes me to see how the Lord has knit us within the body.

5. I finally got our master closet cleaned and organized. I resisted the urge to have a garage sale and donated it all. The frugal part of me thought about having a yard sale (and Jacob tried to talk me into it) and using the $$ for something fun but the TX heat won out.

6. I met a really neat woman last week at our HWY meeting. She sang over us and we had a wonderful time of praise and worship and than individual prayer. She totally read my mail too! It was a surprise blessing.

7. We enjoyed a evening of playing games with our dear friends. It was especially great because our oldest son was able to come too.

8. At my dentist appt this last week she told me that I had been doing a great job and should receive a gold star!

9. I attended the funeral of a old friend. Trae got to know him about 15 years ago and myself about 8 year ago. He was an amazing man who will be greatly missed. He was the "big brother" of Bethesda and his life will forever leave an impression.

10. My dh is days away from having his life insurance in place. He has a small amount from his work but not enough. We are following Daves advice and getting a certain amount based on income and I will admit I think I will sigh when it is signed! I have reminded him that we would have to pack up and move if something happened to him.

You may not have been blogging much, but you sure have great things to say when you do. Very profound and yes, it looks like many things have been going on. Those things you listed show what a blessing you guys are not only to your family but to others. The best to me is the ones you are able to list about your boys. Sorry to hear about the sad one, though. I know it was a long week but a good one for you last week. Yes, you are a wonderful part of the church body! Organization and donation rock. That is the quickest way to lose alot of pounds!

Also... the cake made number one! Wow! I must say, I feel a little vaklempt!
