exploding volcano

warning if you have a weak stomach do not read any further God has such a funny personality it all started on Saturday. Our church has a monthly fellowship night were a couple of houses host a evening at their house. It was to start at 6:00p.m..We got are house spick and span you could have eaten off of the floors. At exactly 5:40 my three year old announces mommy my tummy ouchie. So I proceed to go upstairs to check on him at exactley 5:45 his volcano explodes all over the floor he barfed all over himself the floor and his baby brother. It was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen puke everywhere. My baby tried to crawl away and he kept on slipping in it. Are you all grossed out now sorry.
Here is the lesson I was taught through this horrible thing on top of all of that my daughter had a asthma attack at her soccer game and almost passed out. So this was the icing on the cake. I have been going through Martha and Mary study and how I want to be more like Mary funny thing about all of this is I had just prayed with all of the ladies who were hosting at their house for us to have hearts like Mary.Now I had barf all over my house at people arriving in five minutes ha ha ha. The nigh turned out ok everyone still came and we had a great time.Jacob did not barf again thank you Jesus.
So God showed me to have a happy heart and enjoy my guest and not to worry about the house being cleaned.Just open my heart to them and serve them.

High school years how sweet that there gone

this is me in 11th grade

That is all I have to say about the high school years.I hated school I went to Edison high school in california.I graduated in 87 by the skin of my teeth. At this time in my life I was in to Billy Idol,social Distrotion,My favorite song was I saw your mommy and mommies dead. I was a alcholic by the age of 16 and was also known as a druggie.
With all of that said I am so thankful for my Lord and Savior.I am so glad my children will hopefully never have the life that I had.My blogger image is not working I will try later.

John 16:33

John 16:33 These things I say to you,that in Me you will have peace.In the world you will have tribulation,but be of good cheer,I have overcome the world.
Today is Friday it is prayer request day I love that verse because it tells me that I am going to have tribultions in my life.My Lord is so much bigger than any of it and He will help me to have good cheer it like the other verse about having peace that no one can understand even in hard times.I hope any one who reads this knows how much their Lord loves them.He will see us through any trial we are going through or will go through.

PRAYER REQUEST.
1. please continue to pray for my sister.
2. A lady at my chuch that I don't know very well just lost her husband in a car accident.She has three small children.
3. Please pray for the teenagers in the world they need to be lifted up in prayer they have so much on their shoulders.

Hope you all have a peaceful weekend Love,Char

A light and the end

I never realized how excited I would be to see these magic words in my school book.You are two thirds done yes yes there is a light at the end of the tunnel.I can't beleive it school is almost over I figured it out that if I push it we will be done in the begining of May yipeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Life is so funny after I got all excited I started thinking of so much stuff like oh no I have to teach Janae how to say all of the words in the english dictionary.And Jordan has to always remember to put a capital at the begining of a sentence and so on and so on.
What I should be concentrating on is do my children really truly love the Lord.Do they have a personaly relationship with Him.Is He their all and all. It truly really dosen't matter if Janae can say all of her letters perfect it does matter that she knows her Lord is perfect.He loves them no matter what they have done or will do. Hope you all have a great day and remember Jesus loves you right where you are.

Life in general

You would never know that spring is in the air it snowed all night and we awoke to this beautiful scene in my back yard.I have been praying and really hoping that my Monday will be a good one not as hectic as the other ones. What did every one do this weekend anything exciting.?My weekend was very calm we celebrated my brother in laws birthday Friday night that was fun there were no kids there.Saturday we had friends over for lasagna we watched my honeys video on Mississippi.
Well I did it I joined the gym it has been a lot of fun.We have a gym here in town that you has a all girls room with bikes treadmill and other equipment.It has equipment that you do in reps and it is from the local curves.So that is a lot of fun I do that 2-3x and than I do 20 minutes of cardio.So please hold me accountable to it my blood preasure has been getting up there and I know diet and excerise will help.
Tonight I start the young woman's bible study I am so excited I love that age of girls they are so much fun,at this moment I only have one girl I really want some more to come so they can encourage each other with all that they go throught at this age.Our first study is on Mary and Martha we are going to I make devotionals and talk about the verse in Romans 12:1. I am so excited for tonight please keep me and the girls in your prayers.

relaxing

It is so nice to have my best friend home.He had a great time in Mississippi it was also a sad time there is so much to be done.He actually told me that he would love to stay a month if he didn't have his family.so that tells me that we will prolaby do some missionary work as a family.Beacause he can never leave again.Actually it wasn't that bad I told him he could go again in a year or so.
We spent our weekend relaxing and watching movies.Except Sunday we had a total of 9 adults and 18 kids over now that is a full house.It was fun but challenging.We are back on track again with school. Same old Monday blah.
Have a great Monday

Hubby is on his way home.=)

Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeehubby is on his way home.He is in Texas as we speak having a huge crab dinner. I can't wait to see him.It has been a very long week.I can't beleive how much I have missed him.Please remind me of this when he is on my last nerve.

My first night alone ever.............

Since my husband is away I spent the night alonefor the first time ever.This may sound really silly to some of you but for me I have never been alone.Sure my kids are here but it is not the same.When he first pulled out of the driveway for a split second I thought how wonderful it would be not to have any kids.I could go to a hotel or go away by myself.Than reality hit me when my toddler yelld I have to go to the bathroom.Than I thought about the aloness again and realized I wouln't have it any other way kids and all.
So my first night was not to bad I slept o.k. but not great.I did watch a lot of t.v. and I mean alot of it.There is such smut out there I really had to refrain myself from not watching it.The first show that I wanted to watch that looked very entertaining was about a much of girls liking girls sick.The second show was about spoiled rich girls having their daddys pay for what ever they want.Then a commerical came on last night let me tell you it was not that late and it was a nasty girl commerical.I was in shockI don't know why I was in such a shock being as I know how the world is.
Just be careful of the times you let your children watch television.I know most of you out there don't have t.v. we did not have it for three years and now we have cable.There is some really good shows out there it is a bummer that the bad shows have to ruin it for the good ones.
Well hopefully tonight I will sleep better and not have to watch t.v. at all.

I talked to Steve tonight he is doing well.Mississippi still has a lot of damage not much has been done even though it has been six months.Keep the people of Baycity in your prayers please.
Steve has a video camera with him I can't wait to see the footage but I also know that it will be sad.
God Bless,Char
