Time flies! I seem to be saying that alot in my life lately.

Well, Kurt's birthday party went well and he was blessed with many wonderful gifts and fun time with his family and friends. Now he has a bit of a cold and his mother hates it when her little one is under the weather. I have to remember that this helps him build his immune system. Right???

In other news from my world we are down to one car again. This time it's my husband's car; I just hope it doesn't cost to much to fix. Why does it seem that things break when money is tight? Well, I guess it give us an opportunity to test God. The Bible tells us to test God when it comes to money. We will remain faithful to him as I know He will always be faithful to His children. Time for a test!!!

This week at church we are having bring a friend day; which in my opinion should be every Sunday but anyway we also have our first church luncheon after the service. SO if any one really reads this please pray that all goes well. Alot to do and to few people to do it. You know what I mean. Thanks and I'll let you know how everything goes.

Catching up

This week has been busy but somehow I 'm not exactly sure where all the time went. Monday was a holiday(ha!ha!) and Dad was home so the day is usually a bit different and I feel like I get nothing much done. We did go to our nieces soccer game and saw some friends who we hadn't seen in a while including some former students of mine which always makes me feel old. Tuesday we went back to school and we had an extra student because I ended up watching our pastors daughter because he had to go to the hospital with kidney stones. Those things are SO painful. I have had them and agree with the statement that "most women would rather give birth than have a kidney stone". The rest of the week has been good.


This week I'm going to be getting ready for Kurt's birthday party which is on Sat. I can"t believe he is going to be 6 on the 24th. Where does the time go? He has grown so much in the last year and he is such a blessing to his parents. I'll let you know how the party goes. Have a great week!

God's Goodness

Wow! I can't believe it's October. The weather here has been breaking records for a few days now. It feels a bit strange to walk outside in the falling leaves when it is 86 degrees. I just have to remind myself that the cooler temps are sure to come.....Soon!
Homeschooling is going well. Kurt is already reading some words and that makes Mommy and Daddy very proud. It amazes me how starting school at the right time in a child's life can make or break them. I've had so many experiences where a parent has made a child start school before they are ready and it just made the rest of their school years a struggle (I taught Kindergarten for 7 yrs.) I can tell from working with Kurt a little bit last year what that extra year for his brain to grow and mature has done to help it all sink in this year.

On another note I'd like to praise God for His provision. My husband and I have been very active in helping start a new church in our area. We have been meeting for over a year now. Some of the time we have meet in a chapel at a Christian camp and when the weather got to cold we meet at a fire hall. Needless to say we were anxiously waiting on God to provide a church building for us to meet in. God has so graciously provide and we will have our first service there this Sunday. We will rent the building for now and the people that still meet there have been so nice and helpful. I'm so excited to see how God is going to work.
