James going away party!

The party was a blast. All of James friends showed up. We had hot dogs and hamburgers. I forgot to make the cookies, LOL! We ran out of plastic cups, and then drinking glasses LOL, but we had fun. James and friends played bat mitten, Soccer, Frisbee, and jumped on the trampoline. The adults rambled around and did some of the same. We mostly stayed inside. Check out my facebook page for all the photos. 

I can not believe my baby is leaving me for 9 weeks. I think I will cry when I drop him off tomorrow. 

God has really been working in my life. Church was great yesterday. We learned about fish. It was a great sermon.  Christians were compared to different types of fish. Don't know if I can remember them all, some where good, and some where not. Maybe later I will list them all in a post. I was so happy and blessed yesterday. I still am today.

Jessica and James will be at the mall today, James is spending time with friends. I know he will miss them when he leaves.

We are planning to take a trip to Disney World in August. The Lord willing, it will work out. Jess is not going, because she has been already and James will not be back yet, so just me, Skip, mom and the boys. What fun.

Well better get some work done. God Bless Everyone!

Last Day of School, and the Official start of Fireworks Season

Well today is the last day of school. No more getting the kids up at the crack of dawn. No more teachers calling, homework not done, lunches forgotten, and James taxi service has come to and end, I think!

I now get to look forward to bored kids, late nights up with the kids, and a mess to clean up when the kids have been home all day!

Well fireworks Season officially begins in June, of course I had to get started in May. I have Saturday off to have James shipping out party. Can't believe he leaves on June 9th. I hope he likes it there. I am expecting to get busier with fireworks after that.

Still taking it one day a time with God! I am reading my bible at night, I have been reading in the book of James it is a good book. I am praying more, trying to complain less. and trying to hold my temper. That is really hard. Just seem to blow up at everything. I am catching myself a lot quicker now.

Well need to get some work done! Encourage someone today and tell them that God loves them.

Make Memories, Live in the Moment

One day at a time brings new meaning to me!

I am learning that I can follow God and do his will if I take it one day at a time, actually, I am taking it one hour at a time lol. Have to keep reminding myself to ask is this what God wants me to do.

We had revival at Church this weekend, it was great. I really enjoyed it.

We also went to the museum! It was really fun! The kids had a blast. Everyone enjoyed it.

Can't wait for our next trip.

Watching Diners, Drive Ins and Dives with Robert. Have a great night.

Where can we go? What can we do?

Where can we go, what can we do?

Our lives are so empty, there is nothing new.

We are living with out God, our prayers are to few.

We struggle each day, just to find a way.

He's right there in our path, just waiting to say.

Come to me I will show you the way.

Where can we go, what can we do?

Ask God for the answer, He is the 

one to go to, He will tell us what to do.

God is there waiting, He is waiting for you!

Just one of my poems. Enjoy!

Plans

Its amazing how we make so many plans that does not include God, then we get upset when they never come to pass.

I was talking to my mom tonight, and we have been trying to make plans to go to Disney World over the summer, It would just be me, Skip, David and my mom. Robert, will be going with someone else, and Jess has already been there, and of course James will be at basic. I told my mom I am not making any more plans unless God is in it. It never works unless he is there.

I think that is my biggest issue. I like to be in control. I am praying to let God lead more and I am leading less. eventually I hope that I can let God just completely take over. That complete surrender kind of scares me. I am not sure why. I know that God is in control, and he only wants what is best for me, but for some reason, I keep holding back. I often wonder is it my pride or what? I am praying that God will show me.

I have been working a lot lately, so I have not been to the gym in a while. I am hoping to get back soon. I may have to wait until after fireworks season. I am pacing myself with work this year, trying to take some time so I don't get burned out. We will see how it goes.

Well it is late and the kids are in bed, time to spend some time with hubby and get some sleep.

Prayer Changes Things

Well today things are much better. All is kind of quite on the home front. Just the normal noise of a 6 person family.

Mom cooked dinner for us today, it sure was good. We had Fried pork chops, french fries and corn. All that starchy good stuff. It was great. I will have to work out some tonight after that.

James is vanless for a few days. The break pads had to be replaced and we have been held up due to rain. His Nanny will be taking him to school and picking him up. Bree she did say she could take you and Brooke home.

Skip is resting before we have to head back to church. James is listening to music while playing on the computer. Jess is visiting with Dylan and his family. She will be back later tonight.

Delaine, my cousin went to Charleston this past weekend. They brought me Shrimp and Grits from Hymans, my favorite place to eat when I am there. She also brought me back a little gift. I love going to the market place and getting some White chocolate. It is great.

Wishing I had the day off tomorrow, but no holiday for us! We all have work and school. Will just have to make the best of the day. We are having revival at church next weekend. I am looking forward to that.

Well guess I better go get everyone moving to get ready for church! Have a good one!

Battle Fatigue

Home is a battle field and we are all watching out on backs. Not going to air to much dirty laundry, so I will keep this light.

Tomorrow is church, I can not wait. I have been debating about going in to work. Home would be good, but not safe, I could always stay in my room.

Never knew being a mother would be so hard. I am praying for guidance.

Gearing up for another work week. Only working six days this week.

Well thats all for now!
