BETH MOORE SIMULCAST

Beth was so anointed yesterday/today as she passionately encouraged us to continue in God's Word, our only source of power. I wish I could convey the teaching here but I'm not a good note taker (it distracts me, I get more out of just listening). If you, dear reader, would like to know what she talked about, go to www.lifeway.com in a couple of weeks and they will have it posted. Go to the Living Proof Life link and Lifeway ususally posts a Godtube video and a summary of the weekend.

God's Word was so powerfully given to us and of course, with Beth, her passion for the Word is so contagious.

If anyone reading this has never heard of Beth Moore go to YouTube or Godtube and search Beth Moore and you'll come up with some videos.

I so look forward to putting into practice the things that will keep me abiding in Him.

POST VBS

THIS ARE TWO OF MY CREW: GLORIA (L) & ASENATH (R)

Leah & Paloma now friends.

My third crew member Leah & me.



Our whole class & crew making a craft

Whew! I made it! VBS 2008 is now a memory. The kids had a blast and my preschool crew are tired but we had some fun with the kids. Working with 3-4 year old all week has its own unique qualitites. We made a lot of trips to the bathroom. When one had to go all of a sudden everyone had to go. We had tears for momma. We had a little spat "you're not my friend" type of thing. (We adults have them too, we just don't come out and say it, we just politely ignore each other.) By day five these two girls were friends again. We colored, made crafts, had snacks, watched a "Chadder" video and saw skits telling the Bible story, and played, played, played.

It was a great VBS and ALL the kids attending had such a fun time.

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN

Vacation Bible School

Must go plan my lesson.

Working with preschoolers. :)

BE STILL SUNDAY

I like this idea.

SPIRITUAL WARFARE OR WHAT

Today Timothy got hit in the head with the baseball at his game. A huge lump appeared so Tim & Leah took him to urgent care. He's fine but it was a little scarry after all we've been through the last couple of weeks.

At the park I turned to Frank and asked him if this was spiritual warfare. He said he was thinking the same thing.

I've since prayed for physical protection on my entire family. And I am not going to fall for satan's lies that cause me to panic. Timothy, as well as all my family, is in His hands.

SOME NEW PICTURES

Me and Frank last Saturday at Gina's Aunt Kimmie's baby shower.

Gina's mom Chante (my sweet daughter-in-law, in the middle) with her high school friend on the left and her softball buddie on the right.

Larissa (grandchild #2) hubby Frank, Gina (grandchild #3 when she would let me hold her) and myself. This picture was from Frank's camera.

"Just try and hold me Granmma!"

Say cheese!

The little prodigy.

I have to give credit to Chante and her mom Darlene for these pictures. I got them off of their myspace albums. Thanks C & D.

Gina is 27 months and is going through a stage where she will not allow me to grab a hold of her for a hug or a kiss. She tells me to go. I will wait patiently for her to come around, because Christmas is just around the corner. Hehehe!

WHAT HAPPENED!?

I ended up in the emergency room early this morning. How did I get there?

I've been very nervous/stressed/anxious, more than even I realized, about Larissa and her seizures. Well it come out throug a strong axiety attache around 3 AM. I rolled over in bed and felt a strange pain on my side. I got up to get a drink of water and suddenly I felt a hot heat spread across my stomach, back & arms. I've never felt this before and became quite alarmed. I went into the bedroom and told Frank I had to go to the hospital. Call 911! They came and transported me to the hospital as my blood pressure was sky high and they thought maybe I was having a stroke. PTL I had not stroke or heart attack by the grace of God.

At the hospital I was given a cat scan and ultrasound of my stomach area.

All during this time the song by Matt Redmond, "Never Let Go" was going through my mind. Also going through my mind was the worse, death, stroke, and terrible fear. After a couple of hours of fear I finally realized that I was thining too much of the negative. Satan was whispering truth to me but it really wasn't the truth=NO Other Gods study again. The truth was yes, these things can happen to me but God is with me. I am not alone. He has me in his hand and his will be done. I decided to "renew" my mind and no longer dwell on the marcabe but on the blessing and promises of our good God. I ask the Spirit to bring to mind the promises of the Word. "I will never leave you nor forsake you" "I have called you by name, you are mine" "Greater is he who is you than he who is in the world" Greater is God.

After about 13 hours at the emergency (can you belive that!) I was released and the conclusion was that I had an axiety attack. I've been very anxious about Larissa. Read the post below.

Well, I'm praising God that it wasn't more serious and I'm asking God to direct me in ways to release my burdens to him, minute by minute. I'm very tired right now as I was given a relaxer and am still a little groggy. Going to bed now and sleep like a baby.

If I can I'm going to download the video "Never Let Go" from you or God tube. I don't know how to do it so don't hold your breath. :)
