Another House Update!!!!

     They accepted our offer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  We got our house for $19,900.00 under the asking price plus a fridge.  Now I wish I would have asked for them to put up a fence.  Oh well…Brett and Don have great experience with fences!   Hint Hint!  I am ready to head to the hardware store and start making my paint selections.  But first things first…packing.  I loathe packing!

House update

    Well,  we looked at two houses today and think we have found the house for us.  We will be submitting a written offer tomorrow.  I am so excited yet alittle nervous.  I don’t want to get my hopes up.  And I don’t want to pay anymore than we offered but who knows what they will do.  I pray they accept our offer.  Anyway… more updates as they come! 

I’ve got news!!!

     With a title like that I can just imagine what your first thought would have been.   But nope you are wrong!  All I wanted to tell you is that I have THE MOST WONDERFUL HUSBAND IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!  Some of you may beg to differ but again…wrong!  Today when I got home from work Brett had a hot bath ready and waiting for me!  He made it just for me.  Because he loves me!  What do you think about that?  I love the way he shows me that he loves me even when I haven’t taken the time to show him how much I love him.  It reminds me of the way our Father shows His love for us even when we are too busy to tell Him how much we love Him.  Or when we go all day without getting lost in His presence.  He is still faithful to show His love for us.  Anyway…I didn’t intend to get all spiritual I just wanted to brag on my man!  I love my husband!

Significant other

   Just recently my eldest daughter (16) informed me that she had a “significant other”.  I thought this was funny.  Why chose the phrase significant other?  For years now I have been telling her and her sister that they will not have boyfriends.  They had other things to worry about other than boys.  They are just not allowed to and that was that.  No one out there was good enough fo my girls anyway.  So I asked Sydney if she meant that she had a boyfriend and after much hesitation she said yeah.  Well for a girl who has piano lessons, chess club, key club, band, orchestra, jazz band, CCD, and who knows whatever else she does she sure won’t have alot of time to devote to that boy.  By the way did I mention he is called “that boy”?  Any way just wanted to share.  I have no words of wisdom on this for I was once a teenage girl.  I remember.  The only thing I can say about that is don’t do what I did.  Other than that I am stuck.  God I could really use your wisdom right now. 

Still the same

     This morning after the choir had prayed, Helen shared what God had put on her heart.  Essentially she said that it is up to us (the choir) to praise at the same if not greater level than we did last week when Dr. Myles Munroe ministered.  (Which was amazing by the way.) She shared that just because the speaker may not be the same or the people in the congragation are not the same people from last week we should go before the Lord with great expectancy for Him to do great things because He is still the same God.  The God that showed up last week is the same God that will show up this week so why expect anything less and why give anything less?  With that said I wanted to take it one step further.  The same God who made His presence known to us today is the same God who will make His presence known to us tomorrow.  The question I ask is what will we expect from Him when we show up to work?  Do we expect Him to stay hidden in this little box forgetting to praise him because we’re not at church?  I expect Him to do great and mighty things in my workplace as He did in todays service and as He did in last weeks service.  My expectancy of what the Lord can do should never diminish no matter where I am or no matter who I am in company with.  We serve a great and mighty God.  He was great yesterday, He is great today and He’ll continue to be great tomorrow.  We need to go into our workplaces the same way we enter our churches…expecting a great move of God.  This world is in desperate need of what my God has and we are the tools He uses so expect Him to do great things tomorrow.  Don’t just reserve great moves of God to inside the church walls.  Thank you all for letting me preach a little to myself.  Wow I needed that!
