A New Day

A new day tomorrow...my goals are to get lots of cleaning done and find time for myself.

Ever feel like this? It's you verses the Tasmanian Devil... I bet every mother at one time or another has felt that way (ha ha ha).

God's got us in his hands and no matter what we face in a day...he's always there. I totally believe that with my whole heart. My boys sometimes like to sing that song... "He's got the whole world in his hands"...
I hope that y'all have a great day and that God blesses you in some way today, whether it be big or small.
Keep smiling...

Wednesday

Today is the first day of the conference that Chris is attending and from what I hear and read it's really well.
Today in Chicagoland the weather outside is cool and mostly cloudy with bits of sunshine. Could be worse, it could be raining again. I've been praying for those whose been dealing with all of the flooding happening around the U.S.. It gives me a sick feeling in my stomach when I see the flood pictures on the news. It reminds me of the flood in 1993...I would drive to and from College where the roads were edged by water from the Illinois River. I have to say that was pretty scary at night time. One wrong move and you'd be in water...needless to say I was always very aware of the surroundings and all when driving on the roads near Havana, IL. I would always make sure that if I was a little tired then I'd stop at the Hardees, a fast food restaurant, and get a large ice tea...walk around a bit then head on home. Havana was approximately half way.

Thoughts of God's Blessing

Today has been good. The boys were well behaved and have gotten their school-work done. It's almost bedtime, yippee. It always seems like the days are longer when my husband is at a conference. That is okay though. He always comes back renewed, pumped up, and ready for furthering God's kingdom in great new ways. It is always amazing how much energy the man God blessed me with has. Chris is a great guy and I love him very much! Sappy I know but it's truth.
A lesson that I've been taught again recently is to praise more when you are going through harder situations. Boy is that ever true. I turn on the radio to a favorite christian station and start going about my day and by the time I am done with my tasks I am feeling much better. Not only are my tasks done but my spirit has been fed as well. God is just awesome that way!
I just am thanking God for Christian radio. It is such a blessing to me. Thanks to the stations, the musicians and all of the people involved in making this possible! God has truly blessed them and I am so thankful for the music!
While I am writing this my 3 year old comes up from the basement covered in pudding, that we had for dessert, saying oops I've got it on my clothes...better take 'em off & be naked. Now begging to take a bath...Somehow at that age it is so fun and free to strut around the house that way. Too funny, that's what I have to say! Thank you Lord for my wonderful boys! They are great and each one is so unique. It is amazing how awesome God created us, isn't it.?.

Chris in NY

Well, it's been about 24 hours since I dropped off Chris and Scott to the airport.
We miss Chris tons but we are happy that he's only going to be gone till Friday.
He was so kind to send a picture...
That is the Brooklyn Bridge and Ground Zero
behind him.




He told me that they had stopped off for some ice cream at the Blue Pig...

Weird name for an ice cream shop but that's ok as long as the ice cream is good!
