I Have A 1st Grader!

My little-BIG first grader! We started 1st grade and love it! On the way to school Beth Anne had the biggest grin on her face. She was so excited and maybe a little nervous. I was more nervous than she was I knew she would be fine, its just that she is getting so big. She is loving school which is such a blessing!

Beth Anne and her teacher Mrs. Gilland. We feel so blessed to be where we are and to have Mrs. Gilland as our teacher!

John Mark loves Mrs. Wright! We go everyday now! One in first grade and one in pre-school. 4 stops throughout the day I feel like I am driving a school bus. Thanks to a neighbor I have started car pooling. If you feel like you are driving a school bus try car pooling. It's Wonderful!!!

God's Creation

God’s Creation
The joy of digging in God’s word to help make it become real in the eyes of an 8th grader is a great joy. Often what God leads me to is more for me than them. As I was pre-paring the lesson on God’s creation of the earth and how we were created in His image I wanted to share with you what God showed me.
For man to make anything he must have something. For a house he must have wood. For a plant we must have seed. For a pot he must have clay. God needs nothing and has to have nothing. He created the earth and everything in it in six days. God’s creativity, His details in the creation of the earth and in us is amazing. Yet we sometimes question Him.
An encouraging note form Max Lucado
“If God us able to place the stars in their sockets and suspend the sky like a curtain, do you think it is remotely possible that God is able to guide your life? If your God is mighty enough to ignite the sun, could it be that he is mighty enough to light your path? If he cares enough about the planet Saturn to give it rings or Venus to make it sparkle, is there an outside chance that he cares enough about you to meet your needs?
I pray that this encourages you!

SUPERMAN

We had a wonderful time at the lake with some friends! Everyone tubed and had a great time. My husband jumped off a 15 ft dock with some teenagers. Thinking he is as young as they are only they were the ones begging him to do the tricks. He did of course a double sumer sault (almost tipple) and then looked to see when he was going to hit the water but the water hit his face first. He immediately had 2 black eyes. The kids called him superman which in the picture above he looks like he is flying.

The kids all jumped off the dock and loved it!

His Blog

Life without technology.. My computer crashed almost 2 months ago. The computer guy thought it was fixable and worked on it, ordered parts, and a month later told me it was not fixable. The poor guy was so sweet and only charged me for diagnosing it was Not fixable. So, if you live in Dothan and ever need someone Customized Computers is the place to go.
I ordered a computer and I have now learned:
Yes, I need a computer to work,
Yes, it makes life a lot easier
Yes, I enjoy being able to access the things I need without having to run to the neighbors of my moms.
But I also learned I spend way more time on the computer than is needed. Yes, I enjoy reading blogs and comments on face book. I love to know what’s going on in my friends life and I care for you all deeply. God has shown me that we are so not promised tomorrow and to choose Him first over blogging and catching up with others. I must check up with Him and what has in store for me on His blog “The Holy Word” before logging on to the computer. I hope and pray you check out His blog it is the answer to EVERYTHING……

The Beach

We have been at the beach with my family. We had a wonderful time and the water was beautiful. We stayed up late, ate, ate, ate, had no cel phone to answer, no house to clean just enjoyed hanging out. Read a In Style magazine just for fun. Felt a little guilty because it is full of material things and has a world view about everything.

The beach is just a small reminder of the amazing creator we serve. Mountains bow down and the seas will roar at the sound of your name. I sing for joy at the works of your hands forever I'll love you, forever I'll stand Nothing compares to the promise I have in you. My Jesus, My Savior.

This is why I have not bloged in a while...

• Had a baby shower at my house which was great and we are looking forward to meeting our new cousin Dawson sometime the end of this month.






• We made a Space cake for school which I am sad I do not have a picture of.






• We have a new pet "Andy"






• Working on our back yard since no one would volunteer for the sprinkle party at their home I did. I love having a party I just want my yard to look nice. I know all the kindergartners are going to notice.






• Planning a birthday party that always gets overlooked because May is such a wild month. Who made up the rule invitation 2 weeks in advance??






• To top off the week last week I miss placed the money that I took up for our preschool teachers. I thought I would try to get our preschool teachers a nice end of the year present so I asked anyone who would like to contribute to put money in an envelope and put it in my sons bag. Ever day I would mark off those that paid (not sure why) and put the money up in my cabinet. Thursday night after friends left from eating dinner I went through everyones bag. I went to put the money up only to find out the envelope where I had been putting it was missing. I turned my house upside down. Going to bed praying that I would find it my husband asked if I wanted him to go through the trash which was already by the road. No, not knowing exactly what we was looking for I replied I will go through it in the morning. The thought of calling parents to ask if they had given me cash or check and telling them I am responsible mother of two but I lost your money and I need to replace it was not a happy feeling. God are you dealing with my pride once again? 6:00 A.M. in a robe with gloves I proceeded to go through the trash. Only to find my faithful God leading me to trash bag #3 . There it was a dirty envelope full of checks and $70.00 cash. Thank you Lord for helping dig through trash and be reminded of your faithfulness.
