Memory Lane

Come for a walk with me down Memory Lane!
And if you have a "Memory Lane" post, head on over to Scottsville to join in on the fun!

I didn't go back as far in history this week. This would be about 1998 or 1999. These are my 2 girls with their daddy's mom. Aren't they the cutest clowns you've ever seen?!?

I Don't Know

I heard this recently and I've been thinking about it a lot. I'm not sure where I heard it or where I read it. If it was from one of you, Thank You! It has really helped me in dealing with some things that have been going on in life. I don't even know the exact words, but here it is.

I don't have to know, because I know the One who does know!

That is such a comfort to me. I can just leave everything to God because He's in control and nothing happens that He does not allow.

Monday Randomness

Mondays seem to be a day of this and that for me.

*Hubby and KLS just left for Kentucky. They are going to Pastor's Fellowship. It's a conference for Church of God Pastors and it's pretty awesome. I went a few years ago with hubby and the experience was wonderful. I'm so excited that KLS is going this year. She really feels God calling her into the ministry and I think this will be so good for her. To see so many pastors (lay people can attend also, but it's mostly pastors) worshipping Christ together is just such an unbelievable experience. I pray God will really reveal Himself to her even more these next two days and give Hubby a fresh infilling also. I think we all need a chance to refuel from time to time, don't you?

*KJS and I will be carrying on with life here at home, work and school while they are gone. Although, if plans go the way I hope, we'll be going out for dinner tonight and also do a little shopping together. And let me tell you, that girl can shop!!!!!

*Tomorrow night is the last session of our Ladies Bible Study on Beth Moore's Esther Study. This has been a really great time together. We've learned so much. We've had laughter and tears, we've grown in the Lord and in our relationships together. I have loved this and am sad to see it end. I highly recommend this study to any woman because "it's tough being a woman" and this gives us some insight into how to deal with those tough things.

I love this time of year. While I'm sitting here typing this, I have the bedroom window open and I'm listening to the birds singing. I love to hear them in the morning. You can almost imagine they are singing praises to God!

Sing to the LORD, for he has done wonderful things. Make known his praise around the world. Isaiah 12:5 Have a great day everyone!!

Project 365

Click on the button above to join Sara and others participating in Project 365 which is taking a picture a day for a year. I started late, but Sara welcomed me anyway. She's says it's never too late to start. I couldn't post last week because of computer problems so I'm doing both weeks on this one post. Of course as always I missed a couple days, but here goes with what I have.

Monday-April 20 This is the office I am temporarily sharing!

Tuesday April 21 - A few magnolia blossoms.

Tuesday April 21 - This showed up just before our Esther Bible Study started. I love rainbows. Actually I didn't taken this picture, KLS did.

Wednesday, April 22 Some big clouds before the rain came. Again this is outside our church. We seem to always have really cool sky shots from our church parking lot. It sits up on a hill on the west side of town. The wind is always blowing and its just a really pretty area.

Thursday April 23 - This is on a nature trail some friends and I took while we were geocaching.

Friday, April 24 The cable wire that runs between the pole at the street and our house fell. Hubby and the neighbor propped it up so people could drive under in on the street, but it hung too low over our drive for us to go up our drive. This is KLS acting goofy for me so I could take a picture to show you how low it really was. But through it all I never lost internet access. Yeah!!!!

Saturday, April 25 The girls and I went and watched the high school performance of Footloose. They did a good job.

Monday April 27 On the way to school Kerri and I stopped and she put a bag of clothes in the donation box. We're gradually going through closets and storage boxes trying to clean things out.

Wednesday April 29 Kelli took a pictures of our beautiful dandelion weeds. We planted some grass seed a couple weeks ago and can't put down the weed killer until we let the grass grow a little more, so this is what we have. A yard full of dandelions.

Thursday April 30 Hubby got his new computer today and I got his. So this is my new computer now. I am having so much fun having my own computer that I can use anytime I want. Like right now at 11:45 on Saturday night, know I have to get up early for church and finish getting my Sunday School lesson ready. When will I ever learn to go to bed earlier on Saturdays. lol

Friday May 1 Hubby and the girls bought Guitar Hero on sale for $30 at Big Lots. They have been wanting this for a long long time (the girls, not hubby) Here's KLS acting goofy for me again. This girl is always game for doing crazy things for the camera. Hey and she's pretty good at Guitar Hero. Now me, that's a different story. I haven't even gotten past the practice stage yet. hahaha

Friday May 1 Wild Strawberries growing in our yard. The look good don't they.

Saturday May 2nd. My favorite place in the yard.

Compassion

I just sponsored a child through Compassion today! I'm so excited! I can't wait to get my packet of information about him. I have been wanting to do this for a long time and have been putting it off. Actually, I had contacted another agency connected to our church denomination back in January and have been waiting to hear back from them. They contacted me about 3 weeks ago and asked if I was still interested and I said yes and still have not heard back. I've been hearing about Compassion for a long time now through Women of Faith and through different blogs here on the internet.

So today I finally did it. I will be sponsoring a little 10 year old boy from Ecuador named Dennis. He is so cute. I picked him because I wanted a boy since I already have 2 girls and I wanted an older child because everyone wants the little ones. He had been on the list for 6 months or longer. It said he likes art (and so does my oldest daughter) and then the topper - we share the same birthday! So there you have it. I'll let you know more as soon as I receive the information.

Do any of you sponsor a child? If so, has it been a good experience? Inquiring minds want to know? :)
