Wow it has been quite some time since I have done this with the move and
all But I am back and I am ready to go. I used to do this on my other
Blog but since we have moved to our first church things have been a
little crazy…Okay so a lot crazy!!!! So I have combined the two and
and here we are! So what am I Thankful for this dreary Thursday Morning
Well This may sound really REALLY weird BUT I am so very THANKFUL My
hubby and I are not Jon and Kate. You know from the big Hit Jon and
Kate plus eight. I do not watch the show…Nor would I BUT that being
saidI think that no one should….I think that they both have checked
out of their marriage and they are hurting their children by doing so.
Those poor children every time they walk into a supermarket there is
mommy and daddy plastered every where. It’s funny i am not evern sure
who is cheating on who at this point cuz everyone has a different story.
Which might I add is sick. I am So thankful that my husband would say
no to something like this for this very reason. The Love of money is
the root of all evil (a very common misquoted verse) But in this aspect
It fits perfectly. Why or how you may ask. Well here’s the deal Kate
Made with TLC (the TV channel who produces Jon and Kate) She refused to
get Marital counseling unless they sign the show for another two
seasons…..HMMM Sounds like she cares more about the fame and fortune
than her family and marriage… I am thankful that my husband would
fight for me not run away to someone else and I am SOOOO thankful that I
don;t have to make decisions like this. God hasn’t put us there and I
am so thankful that my kids do not have to grow up in front of the TV
camera! So when those seasons are all done and she walks away with her
money what will she have for it…COLD HARD CASH eight kids to raise
alone and a bunch of rumors and hurt and Pain..I’ll garuntee that if she
is cheating on Jon that once her 15 minutes has left her so will the
lover who is seeking his 15 minutes of fame. THANK YOU Lord for
protecting our family forom a world who seeks to gain instead of care
for and love those you have given to us!

Thankful Thursday
Well all of my dear readers it has been almost three weeks since i last wrote to you and Oh what a three weeks it has been! I wish I could tell you that I enjoyed every minute of it BUT alas I cannot!
It has been a rough couple of weeks! The roughest day was yesterday I think But THERE ARE A LOT OF CLOSE SECONDS THAT YOU WILL HEAR ABOUT AT A LATER DATE!! But now onton yesterday..
- I am thankful that Ladybug didn’t have to have her stomach pumped
- I am thankful she has not had a bad after effects
- I am so thankful she is feeling better today
- and I am thankful that she does not have a fever today….
Okays o now you are going to need some explanations right!?!
Ladybug has been sick for a little under a week with a fever and a bad cough…we took her to the doctir testerday and found out that she has bronchitis ..no biggie..so later that day we went and filler RX and went home…When we got home I gavce her the first dose (it’s a five day med). After I gave her the dose I turned to put the syringe in the sink..It was VERY sticky…I turned not two seconds later to see ladybug putting the bottlre back on the counter going ..”THIRSTY THIRSTY THIRSTY”…I proceeded to freak out just as any good mother would..She drank the whole bottle!!!
It was an exhausting day to begin with so you can only imagine what that did to me! I called the doctor and the Poison Control Center!
Low and behold the worst effect that could happen will be a very BAD case of the squirts!
Needless to say though she is mostly potty-trained she will be wearing a diaper ALL day today…And yes I am very thankful for the squirts too!
Thankful Thursday
Wow it has been a whole week since my last post..Not just a Thankful Thursdday post but a post in general. It has been a crazy week for us here….Emotions went wild yesterday..
So on this Thursday morning what exactly am I thankful for….I have a bunch so grab a snack!
1. A God who answers prayer
2. A church family that backs you up with prayer so much that when you feel as though you can’t pray you know someone is!
3. Friends and family who support us in our call to ministry despite the amount of rejections
4. The freedom of speech to be able to share with others what we believe in
5. That my husband and I do not have to hide the fact that we are a pastor’s family
6. That we don’t have to fear for our safety
7. that I have a three and a half year old that is so passionate about being at church. the fire has been lit and we pray it will never go out!
8. a husband who is a great leader and follows the will of God..No matter how much it can hurt at times
9. A god who loves and cares for me more than I can ever imagine.
10. Three great kids who are starting to express just how much they love God..Okay so maybe it’s two out of three!
Thankful Thursday
I’m thankful for A god who KNOWS EVERYTHING!–that would be omniscient! This upocoming weekend Hubby and I are venturing out on a limb yet again. We give all of ourselves to just be knocked off that branch time and time again!
So God knows what is going to happen this weekend and he knows the outcome of the vote on Wednesday..He also knows our response and He knows what will happen after that. Hubby and I have “thought” we know what was going to happen a few times and we were blown away so completely that it took us a time to recover. And God knew all of those things too!
So strangely amidst all of our anxiety on doing well to please God I have this strange peace this time…mostly because I know there isn’t a thing that is going to surprise God AND I have prepared myself for the worst..It sounds bad BUT I would much rather have a HUGE surprise than the ultimate let down.
I am Thankful that the God I serve knows all and understands all. He will take care of us no matter what happens!
Thankful Thursday
Well I have done some thinking this week..about Thankful Thursday that is! Well I have decided to take an interesting spin on thankful Thursday. I am going to dwell on the attributes of God and why I am thankful hat the one true God has that attribute.
So let’s start off with the three O’s. I will do each O over three weeks,,,
This week is Omniscience meaning ALL-KNOWING! I thought this was fitting after this past Tuesday when some people are very upset about who was elected!
As Christians we Pray and pray and pray for God’s will to be done. We vote for who we think will be the best choice and THEN we get angry because the “WRONG” guy was elected!!!
Whoa! Wait a Minute..Didn’t we just say that we prayed for God’s will. So many times I forget that God knew this was going to happen. HE KNEW He was NOT surprised!!!
I am thankful That the God of the Universe is not surprised by ANYTHING that happenes in this world. Let’s think about what life would be like if God could be surprised…God could sin…The element of surprise causes reactions that lead to sin…Doesn’t that just rock your world as a believer!
As a sinner I sometimes wish that God didn’t know everything..but knowing that God does know everything that I have done or said helps me be able to talk to Him!!
I am thankful that God knows everything! He knows what is going to happen with each new day and He can help us deal with these things.
I had a friend is college whose father was a pastor. She is a lovely young woman . She fell in love with a young man but suddenly she found herself with tons of inner turmoil. She would cry and weep and had no idea what all of this was about. She was relying on God for the very strength to make it through a day. Through doing that she drew closer and closer to God. That relationship was necessary for what she was about to endure. The young man she fell in love with passed away very suddenly. God knew about that before it happened. The young woman was able to withstand the trauma of this because her relationship with God was stronger than ever. She told our discipleship group that God knew she wasn’t strong enough to deal with that tragedy on her own so he drew her closer than ever before..and she made it. Though this young man and young woman planned to marry, those plans have been ripped from her! Wouldn’t you know God had already had another young man in store for her and she has since been married….So whatever you are going through God knows..Rest in That!!
