An email forward I received today...

He Teaches the Way

Today's Scripture

'I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you' (Psalm 32:8).

Today's Word from Joel and Victoria

Do you need direction in your life today? Maybe you are facing an important decision in your job, at home, or in your relationships. Know this: God, Himself, will teach you what you should do. He promises to show you the path you should take. He's watching over you and giving you advice every step of the way. See, God's not just concerned with the goal, or end result. It's not just about getting you from point 'A' to point 'B.' He is with you every step of the way during the entire process. He wants to see your character develop and mature. Most times, our growth in life happens when circumstances seem to be the most uncertain. Those uncertain times cause us to rely more on God. No matter how uncertain things may seem, God still has His eye on you. He's making sure you make the right choices. He's working with you to shape your character and attitude. Remember, He's promised to never leave you or forsake you. You may not always know the answer right away, but He's instructing you and teaching you and leading you into blessing all the days of your life.

A Prayer for Today

Father in heaven, thank You for teaching and guiding me and giving me direction in my life. I receive Your counsel today. Help me to be more like You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Just Wade and I

Bentlee and Rylee are off to Mem & Poppy's in the morning for a sleepover and it will be just Wade and I....HOOOOO-RAY! I have really not been asking mom and dad to keep the girls much since dad has been sick. He has been more tired with each treatment and both girls are too much for just mom (she would say not but it wears her out).
We have a wedding to attend tomorrow, talked about not even doing that and spending the day at home....possibly going to Jimmie's and seeing one of our favorite bands tomorrow night, Deuce's Wild...I will let you know where we end up on our kid-free night come Monday...have a great weekend everybody!

PS I have been waiting to use this picture even though its not so good. Mom buys the girls matching things from time to time and she got them matching nightgowns awhile back. It took Rylee awhile to understand pajamas do not have to have pants, LOL!

This one's for you Judi

Since you are always posting your pictures of nature...flowers, veggies, etc. I myself do not have a green thumb but I do have a Calla-Lily that blooms every year...my soil is not so great and thats what I am blaming my lack of landscape on. I try to plant a few things in the spring but by June it all looks like crap, LOL!

I know, I know

I know I haven't posted in two days...give me a break, I am "dealing" with some things...nothing serious to concern anyone...maybe just a change in my life...no, its not my marriage for heaven's sake and I am not sick...so, thats why I am sort of in a "funk".

You know when you are younger you are not sure what your life will hold, where the roads will take you...and then you realize you are 32...thought you had it all figured out, got married, had kids, settled in a job....and "something", maybe God, is possibly detouring your life...thats my problem, I am waiting on an "answer" to my "thing" that I am "dealing" with...I'm scared. Pray for me...pray I will choose the right thing.

Are you all confused? Wish I did not blog today? Are you "battling" with something the same way in your life? Its making me very tired...and the problem is I am not waiting on anyone else, I have to make the decision myself.

Updates on Ken & Steve

Steve moved back to Greenville yesterday and will possibly be there for 3 weeks or so...depending on how his therapy progresses and then home. Steve and Vicky still need to be lifted up...PRAY for them as you did at first. Even though he has come a long way in his recovery there will still be many more bridges to cross. Wade and I did take the girls to visit him last week and we were impressed with his memory and he still has his witty sense of humor! Please keep them in your thoughts...

Ken will be coming home on Saturday. He will be going to live with his dad for a couple of weeks and he is not happy about that. But think about going back to live with a parent at age 32..not an easy move regardless of the situation. He is doing well and will continue to receive PT at home but still will not be able to walk alot. He still has alot of healing to do.

Going home for either of these guys will not be as easy as it sounds...keep their families in prayer as well.

Neat little Party favor!

My family gave a fish fry this weekend for my cousin Paula. She is getting married in November and Bentlee is going to be the flower girl! Paula and Jason are real laid back country people and the fish fry was very appropriate...decorated with hydrangeas & sunflowers in Mason jars...really cool~ So, I thought I would share the party favors with you all.
These were packs of seedlings, sunflowers, etc., with a card about the size of a business card...tied with Rafia. You could use this idea for lots of things...housewarmings, baby showers, and just change the phrases on the card....I know you "creative" girls will really appreciate this...cheap but CUTE! You might need the idea for future parties since most of us are country folk'!

Help in Ahoskie

Girls, I need some help with the plate sale. I am trying to contact business' in Ahoskie and surrounding areas...know anybody that may be a good contact? If so, can you provide an email address? I would like to contact them and send them a flyer and some tickets to sell, if they agree that is.
I have contacted Carol at Berry Plastics....and Anita Burch at Nucor. I have a business list but no other actual contacts.
