New Year-New Theme

2008-01-05T10:09:00.000-08:00

Let love and faithfulness never leave you;bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will find favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.
Proverbs 3:3-4

Each year I like to have a spiritual theme, so on the 2nd of January I prayed and asked to God to reveal to me what that theme should be. As I was looking through the bible I came upon Proverbs 3:3-4 and felt like that was the verse that God wanted me to use as my life verse this year. It just so happens that my good friend Laura gave me a bracelet for Christmas with a similar verse and theme.

Love....believes all things, endures all things, hopes all things and bears all things. 1 Cor. 13:7.

So as I bind it around my wrist...I can meditate on what that means. This year I will working on loving people in the way God wants me to and being faithful the way God wants me to.

What I really want!!!

Books, Wow!

2007-03-03T09:51:00.000-08:00

I said I love to read...but this is a little bit much. I am currently reading 5 different books. For fun I am reading "Little Men" by Louisa May Alcott, the sequel to "Little Women", also, I am reading a Christian Novel called "Divine" I got it for Chistmas from AB. I am teaching a class at our home school group and were reading "Bridge to Terabithia". My friend recommended a great parenting book called, "Don't Make Me Count to Three" by Ginger Plowman, so far this is a fabulous book too. I had already started another parenting book called "No Greater Joy". I love to read but I am having a hard time keeping up on my reading, especially since we joined the Blockbuster movie thingy...we get 3 movies at a time, I might need to change it to just 1 at a time so that I can keep up on my recreational reading. Or stop watching American Idol.

I'm Sick

2007-02-23T10:27:00.000-08:00

I have had this cold for almost a week now and UGG! I hate being sick! Anyway, I am trying to lay low today so I can be better while Fred is away. Which is another thing I hate!!! Fred leaves or Central America on Monday and will be gone for 10 days, wah! I really hate to be alone, I hear all sorts of noises and stuff and can't sleep. Please pray for me next week.

Ok, I will try
