Waiting Game

Right now Chad and I are playing a waiting game to see if he got a new job. After an interview yesterday, he was told he would be notified either way today. I have been praying really hard and every time I pray I hear God saying, "Trust me". I do trust Him, unfortunately my patience is having a hard time understanding me trusting God....maybe I'll find a hard cleaning job to do to preoccupy my time. Yes, I think now is a good time to clean the closet in the foyer. Maybe I will find some wonderful treasures I have been hunting for.

A momment of peace

I have been enjoying a fun and busy week end. We had company over last night and are going out tomorrow afternoon. It is nice. My cleaning Thursday totally turned into cleaning week end, but the rewards to this are endless.
Things I am happy for from this week end:

* friendships formed from last night
*I can finally completely see my kitchen counter!
*The wonderful garage sale I found Saturday
*My daughters cute skirts I bought on sale for them on Friday(pictures to come)
*The box of toys Chad and I sorted through from the living room, more importantly the understanding my 4 year old had that the toys are going to someone who doesn't have toys.
*The total understanding that my family is completely in God's hands (this is what I am most thankful for)
*finding friends more on Facebook

What are you thankful for?

Teddy bear B*A*S*H at my house

Today at Mom 2 Mom, a poor bear (which is hilarious to mention he is bigger than all of the toddlers at Mom 2 Mom) had a poor accident where his "fluff exploded". I took the bear home with me and the kids so I could "operate" on the bear. It was rather funny looking in the back seat of my van beacause there were two toddlers and this giant bear, who is bigger than them, in the middle. All I saw was a giant bear in the rearview mirror. I laughed so hard when the kids were buckled in and the bear squeezed in beside them. I wish I had my camera!

Needless to say we will be taking the bear back to church this afternoon so he doesn't get home sick. Too funny!!

In His Hands

Right now Chad and I could be faced with some change, but for the first time in forever, both Chad and I are looking forward to it. I don't want to get into too many details, but I am very excited to finally see my husband trusting God with everything he has. I have never seen CHad be at such peace before, normally it does not take much to stress him out. Now nothing could. It is amazing how God is able to do this. Faith is awesome! I can't wait to see what God has planned for us now!

weird

I just posted a comment on NorthVU's blog site and have never experienced so much grief when I tried to post a comment. My comment talked about choices and how God appreciates it when we correct a bad choice of where to "stand" (essentially that was the comment)

Anyway, I first tried sending it and it deleted everything I wrote (fortunately, I copied what I wrote into my clipboard) Then after I pasted it back, I went to post it and I had a weird virus allert from AVG, I checked into it and fixed the problem, then when I went to publish it I had a weird messege pop up which basically questioned whether or not I would really want to publish this post because it could comprimise my marriage and finances because of the 170 porn site it would put on my computers memory by posting this comment. I have never seen this message from windows before.

What really got me was the "by sending this message this could comprimise your marriage and finances by the 170 porn sites which will be added to your memory by posting the comment on this site." My marriage, how would the computer know about my marriage?

WEIRD! Weird...............weird.

spring maddness

I have really realized I tend to hibernate in the winter; but when the snow melts and when my allergies are at their peak, I become crazily busy. This week is busy with Pooky bear's t-ball games ( her first one is tonight! Yeah!), I have a meeting after that. Tomorrow is a fundraiser for my friends campaign, Thursday is Pooky bear's second dentist appointment to finish making her teeth stronger ( I think there is a t-ball game that evening, but I don't think she will be able to make it). Friday is a Birthday party in the afternoon. Saturday is membership at the church all afternoon. Also somewhere I have to fit in 2 extra meetings and several calls for my business.

Am I insane? I don't think so. I actually like being busy, I hate feeling bored.
