We are still jobless in Oklahoma. Am I worried? I should be-at least that what Satan keeps trying to convince me. But what does God say about it?

Philippians 4:6
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

1 Peter 5:7
Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

Philippians 4:19
And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

I just have to look at all the ways he's provided for us during this time to be reminded that He is faithful. Like the electric company telling us we overpaid in the past, giving us a $100 credit for this month. And the cell phone company overcharging us for several monthes, so that we now have a $500 credit! And the girls' piano teachers deciding that they want to give the girls free lessons until Mike gets a job! How cool is that? And allowing the kids to go to youth camp and the church mission trip (where Bethany was privileged to pray with a young girl to accept Christ!). And being able to replace the kitchen floor. And all the gifts people have blessed us with. This has actually been a pretty exciting time, just to sit back and watch the Lord work! I don't know how many times I've just started giggling at what He's done!

Psalm 105:1
O, give thanks to the Lord! Call upon His name; make known His deeds among the peoples.

Psalm 77:12
I will also meditate on all Your work, and talk of all Your deeds.

Oh yeah, He's good!

Happy Birthday Michael

Yesterday was Michael's birthday. How did he turn 15 already? From a little colicky baby who cried continuously for the first 14 monthes of his life, to a young man who towers almost 6 inches above his mom (yes I want to cry); he has been such a joy to raise. He definitely keeps us on our toes!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOOSE! LOVE YOU!
