  • Good Day!

     Psalm 62: 7-8 "In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge is in God. Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah."

    Thank you God for substaining us and for protecting us.

     

    Good Day - Lots of work.  I have daycare work and a curriculum to order.  I also have a marketing project fo finish and a new one about to start.  I am NEVER bored!

    I am praying that our patio will be put in today.  The project was supposed to start on Monday but it changed on a daily basis.  I am praying that today is the day.  We worked out a bartering agreement to get our patio and it is very exciting how God provides.  I will post before and after pics later.

  • All Quiet On The Home front!

    Good Morning,

      We just had a mass exodus out the front door this morning.  Bethany left for daycamp at ballet summer intensive and Nick and Doug left for the week for Camp Barakel.  The daycare kiddo's were waving and asking them not to go.  It was very cute!

    Doug and a 20 month old are best buddies.  The twenty month old can hardly talk but he is always saying "where's Doug?"  Too Cute!

    I have a lot to get accomplished today.  I have mystery shops after daycare and I am starting to work on getting Nick's scrapbook's finished for graduation. I know it is almost a year way but I want it to be complete at his graduation party and I should be working on it now.

    I think I have finished off  a full pot of coffee already.  I am kind of dragging and it still hasn't kicked in.

    Yesterday I finished up my work for the childcare food program.  This will pick up the cost of the daycare meals!  Yea!  What a blessing!dougdavid

    Doug and David 

    I also need to get all of Bethany's laundry completed.  She camp home from a week at Camp Barakel yesterday.

    Well - we need to make a craft for the daycare kiddo's - so off I go.

  • A Really Good Day!

    I saw some really neat things happen today and it helped my mood.

    I have a child in my care who has been coming for about a month and she won't talk to me.  I was getting a little frustrated and I felt like there was no commnication going on between us at all.  Today - the flood gates opened!

    She is the chattiest little thing that I have every met.  I heard about all kinds of things.  Diego and her pullups and her lunch and the trike that she was riding. 

    This was a big encouragement for me!  I needed to feel like I was accomplishing something in my job.

    I also sided up for a free online bible course.  I think that I need to be in God's Word more and I will hopefully start looking at things in a different way.

  • Life Strategy

    Well - here I am again.  Writting down my thoughts.  I am asking for prayer in some many ways!  I have been caught up in something that is not God honoring and I have repented.  I have not been a good an example to my children and I am afraid that I may have caused some embarrasement to my husband.  I can't tell you what it is but it is not God honoring.

    I have not been spending time in God's Word like I should and I will be using nap time (instead of doing other work) to spend time with God and let him direct me.

    I feel so enclosed in my home for 10 hours a day (doing daycare).  I don't get out to take the kids to their classes or events.  I feel like I am trapped in a cage.  I would like to have more freedom.  Greg accidently spilled my coffee container and I ran out of coffee.  I had no way of going and getting any because of all of the kids and  it so frustrated me. 

    Please pray that I can find contentment in all I do and that I would be a good example to my kids.

  • Ten Blessings in our lives!

    I have a friend on Xanga who is very faithful in recording all of the blessings she has even if it doesn't seem like much.  I get so frustrated with my life and we are not struggling to the extent that she is.  I thought that I would (at least once a week) blog 10 of the things that God has blessed us with.

     

    10. Healthy Kids

    9.  5000.00 left on our debt and then the only thing we owe on is our home.

    8. Daycare kids who come everyday

    7. A husband who loves me with all of my inperfection

    6. Bethany received new clothes last night as a birthday gift.  They were from a store that I don't even walk into because I can't afford it.

    5. A wonderful church and church family

    4. Tons of kids who are excited about quizzing and learning God's word.

    3. A patio that is being put into our back yard because of a modest trade with a contractor.

    2. The tree in our back yard is still standing

    1. A full cupboard of all of my staples.  I am going to make noodles and tortilla shells today.

    Stuff 005

    I thought that you all would get a kick out of my cupboard.  It looks very cool and I am very proud if it!
