This and That

It's been awhile since I've posted; not a whole lot going on, and someone in our family lost the camera.
( I later found the camera in the bottom of a bag of mine I had taken on a trip. oops! sorry kids!)


Days are going by quickly - tomorrow's the last day of school! YEAH! I am so ready to be done this year! Of course then comes the fun of picking next year's curriculum. My youngest is already complaining about being bored and wanting to get started on next year's work. Oh no, this mama's taking a break!

We went to Six Flags a couple of weeks ago and that was the most fun we've had in a while. I actually got my oldest two on the Shock Wave with me! I've got to say that Tony Hawk's Big Spin is an absolute blast! The cars spin around as they go down the track. I don't know when I've laughed so hard! ( I need to stop here and thank the Lord for continued healing of my back. Compared to where I was 2 years ago, I was absolutely thrilled to be enjoying roller coasters again! I'll have to do a post later on the path the Lord has been leading me down.)

Let's see, what else has been going on? The garden is in and growing, my niece graduated from high school this week, Bethany's mission trip to Mexico has been postponed due to violence down there, and my dear husband was laid off from work 4 weeks ago.

The Lord is so good! A couple of weeks before Mike was laid off, the Lord told me one day to fast. I asked Him what specifically to be praying for and I heard Him say, "Your husband's job". So I knew something was going to happen, but didn't know what. Later in the day He told me "Pray
big". So I started praying that Mike would either get a big raise where he was, or the Lord would place him in another job with a big pay increase. ( So we can do some things the Lord's been speaking to us about!) Well, then he got laid off and I got excited! I can't wait to see what the Lord has planned! In the meantime, the Lord's stretching our faith - this is definitely a growing time!

Fun stuff!
