A clean house.......AWWWW

The girls spent the night at Papa and Meme's and today I cleaned without any interruptions. It's amazing how fast you can clean a house without any kids around. I can even enjoy and smell the aroma of a clean house! I know this too shall pass......the girls will clean up after themselves. I actually miss them. They are on Gospel Blitz with the fam.

Steven Curtis Chapman......death of his 5 yr old!

Good Morning America had a live interview with Steven Chapman regarding the death of his 5 yr old Maria. She was hit in her driveway by her 17 yr old brother, Will. What a tragedy! I am at loss of words or emotions! Had he been driving slower, smaller vehicle, or even at a different time could this be avoided? Hard to say......God is a Soverign God!! He is in control of EVERYTHING!! His mercies are NEW every morning....all I can say is.......God has brought them through this tough trial. Their interview brought GLORY to God to all the world. I am amazed how they exalted the Lord.....humbly! It gives me a renewed love and watch/care over my girls. Thank you Lord for my precious jewels! May I bring them up in nurture and admonition of the Lord! Lord. give me strenght, patience, gentleness, and love for my family!!

Jesse passed his PE exam!!

It's been a long 3 years of studying, sweating, praying, and hoping for Jesse! It has come to an end! The Lord taught us perserverance!! Jesse will get his certificate of Professional Engineer. Now what? How can the Lord use this piece of paper to further His kingdom? We are once again.....giving God the credit, honor, and praise!! Thank you Lord!!! You are AWESOME!!

Abby's bump on top of her foot!!

I am praising the Lord for His goodness, greatness, and soverignty! What a mighty God we serve! About 3 days ago, I discovered a lump on top of Abby's left foot....about an inch in diameter. It's physical apprearence was spongy, liquid filled, and could move side to side. I panicked! Since it was soft.....I almost ruled out a tumor.....but Satan wants me to doubt the Lord and have my imagination go wild!! The bible says, "cast down imagination". Hence, I took her in to her ped doctor and had an x-ray done. The doctor called me back within 4 hours......it's not a tumor,....since it's not attached to her bone. Usually, a tumor is connected to the bone, is opaque and firm. A Gangloin cyst is on extremeties....We will see an Orthpedic specialist soon. All I can say is......God is good!! His blessings are poored out on us!
