Well.......it was really fun...let me tell you...  I think Christa and Jim and myself laughed the whole way thru and even almost wet ourselves laughing so hard...lol..

Dominic was in the front and I followed him, at first Mason was attached to me and David was in the back with Jim... as we went thru Mason ended up with Christa...climbing up her back..lol.. and David was with Jim but I think he wouldnt move a couple times and ended up shuffling in the middle... saying ..."mommy"... I of course just kept laughing and walking thru... it was pretty fun!!  David did cry a little...but once he was out and had time to think about it, he was so happy that he made it thru...  now he doesnt like anyone to know he cried.. and I said.. dont worry...other people where scared as well... so that was an accomplishment for David...   It was a good time for friends as well.. thx Christa and Jim!!

I do have a special prayer request... we had given the flyer with the salvation message on it and info. for our church to Bridgette... well ever since then.. she really wont look at me when we walk by each other, nor will she come to her door to say hello when I was there dropping her son off... now I dont really know her..but when we where talking she gave me her number and asked for mine, so I thought somewhat of a friendship may start up.. but I do know the devil is not happy we gave her the salvation message, nor does he want us to be friends.. so that is where the wierdness is coming from.. Please pray for her and her family.. I told David we still need to be kind, friendly when the opportunity is there..


Another prayer request...I do believe the Lord is leading me to have a ladies prayer time here at my house.. not sure, but Ive seen the word Go alot and when i see that..that is what I think of.. so I just really need to get in His word to get the correct answer... Ive talked to some ladies up here and not sure who would come and who would not...but if the Lord leads me to do this...someone... will come... so please pray that I hear Him speaking and I open up my home... 

Well...that is all the updates... the dog is doing well... Kevin is doing well... the refrig broke down, so looking for a new, cheap one... David is doing well with school except in English... life is good.. God is good... so many still need saved...

Have a great week... and Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming soon!!  :)

Intentions

When I started this I really thought Id be on here most days and typing something...I had no idea that days would go by so fast... so will really try to do better at this...

Just to give a few updates... some of you had been praying for Bridgette and Stacy's family.. well they havent gone to church with us yet, but they have the salvation message along with directions to our church.. I will  keep following up and chatting with them and inviting them as well.. so please keep praying about that.... I dont want to "quench the spirit" when He leads us to witness or invite someone to church... so please pray He will use us and that we would obey His leading.. thx.. :)

My son... he wanted to go to a haunted house this year...so I thought we would try it.. we went last Friday  night and we where in the holding room and it was pitch black.. couldnt see anything..so guy with a creepy voice said.. "Welcome..soon they will be coming for you..."  then we heard a clowns horn..that was all it took for David...he wanted out of there and didnt want to go thru.. so we donated the $8.00 to the Cresson fire dept. which isnt bad.. David was upset with himself cause he thought he ruined it for me.. I said, no problem.. I was good.. well this Friday we are trying again but the difference is his best friend Mason is coming along with his dad, mom and brother.. now Jim, Mason's dad, is a big guy and David says he wont be scared cause he will be with us... so this should be really fun.. David and Mason..say they like scary things..but they really dont... lol... will update over the weekend how it went..

Time Flies By.......

I cant believe a whole week has gone by since I last posted in here.  My intention is to write everyday but then LIFE gets in the way.... We did however have a great week!  David spent the weekend at a friends house and went to J.B. Tree Farm... school was good... he also had an art day with grammy... they made a stone and decorated it for Halloween....

This Friday we are going to a corn maze ourself, and I have the weekend off so looking forward to sleeping in and not working at all...but when the pay check comes I will be wishing I had worked all of my hours... lol...

David and I had a chance to witness to 2 of our neighbors today!!  God is good...when you ask Him to use you, He puts those people in your path... so please be praying for Bridgette and her family and Stacy and her family...both seemed interested in coming to our church...

I know the Lord opened those doors so you know He must be working!! 

Carl, my father-in-law, got us tickets to go see the Siberian Orchestra in Hershey on Nov. 13th... so excited about that... I have really great in laws...

Well I will leave this verse for you and give you the challenge to let God teach you and lead you in the path He wants you to be!!

Psalm 27:11
"Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies."

WOW...the weekend went by so fast.....  such a beautiful one.....went for a long walk in the woods on Saturday with David and Matthew and Alex... then had a great dinner at the Missions Conference dinner...  Sunday was great as well....Great messages and challenges both Sunday morning and Sunday night... I loved Sunday nights message...and am using it with my son and myself.....

1.... instruction  ( from God to us or parents to children)
2....promise   ( God tell us what He promises to do for us, we tell our children what we will do for them)
3....obedient ( we then need to obey God, EXACTLY what He says and our children need to obey us)
4.....supply  ( the Lord supplies the promise He made to us, and we take care of our children)
5....testing  ( we are then tested to see if we will take the next instruction and same with our children)

Then the cycle starts all over again...WE go thru this everyday of our Christian Life...
I so want to pass this... its a daily thing... and we can see where we are at, depending on our relationship with Christ....

So where are you at?????   If I look at myself...depending on which area the Lord is dealing with ...and there is many... I'm in different stages with the different situations...

So I want to keep obeying...keep passing the test....keep seeing His promise and watch how He supplies... and going thru each of these...helps us with Faith and Endurance cause we know by past experience that He doesn't fail us, nor leave us, nor forsake....

So glad I'm a child of the King...  thank you Lord for saving me!!

Romans 8:28... this verse is one of my favorites.....

Woot....Woot...its Saturday!!!

So glad its Saturday..... the weekend is always a time to relax, clean your house....although relax and clean your house usually don't go together... 

David had Matt stay over night, so that has been fun... last weekend Mason stayed over night... so glad he has those 2 boys has friends...  Now Matt and Mason are as different as night and day...   David acts crazy with Matt and Mason is the crazier one when he and David get together.... but both are saved and godly parents... and that is all the more I could ask for in friends for David...

We are going to go walking in the woods today... let the dog and the boys run...  then I have to bake a cake for the Missions Dinner tonight... will give update on that later... Snyder's are doing their presentation...should be really good....
Lamentations 3:40

"Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord."


I challenge us to let the Lord direct our ways.... keep on the path that He has chosen....open our ears to what He wants us to do...

Last night missions conference message was on; asking the Lord for direction, permission in ALL decisions that we make.  How many things do we decide to do that we don't ask Him if this is what HE would like for us.

             Especially those things which involve money!  We do what we want, what we think is good for us....and guess what???   Most times is not and then we have to "reap what we sow"

I so want to purpose in my heart to give the Lord TOTAL CONTROL IN EVERY AREA!!!!!  Why is this so hard at times...gggrrrr.....  

                          Lets pray together for each other and our families....that we would do exactly what the Lord wants us to do in EVERY AREA!!
