Since I went to Miles party yesterday, of COURSE I had to go to Zoe's 4th grade field day. She asked me at least 5 times if I would come, so I went for an hour. She wasn't so enthusiastic to see me though. I offered to race her in the flip flop race and she told me to be quiet. She told all her friends to not speak to me because I was too embarrassing, so I dont even know why she ever asks me to come to anything. When I came to the jump roping marathon last month I thought she would like it that I danced to all the high school musical songs while she jumped rope with her friends. She didn't.
I did see Jeremiah's sister, Michelle, and her baby Jonah and got the 4th grade crush scoop; the scoop is that Eli Holt has a heart for Zoe, its very sweet. If he knows whats good for em though, he'll steer clear cause that girl causes nothing but grief for the boys. Zoe, i love you but it's true my dear. Remember Ian Lovvitt, the hospital incident?? It was all the talk of third grade:)

Miles 1st grade party
Miles celebrated his year end 1st grade party yesterday at Pottawottomie Park so I spent my lunch hour down there and was able to snatch up an extra hotdog. He was so happy I came he thanked me at least 6 times that evening and even once in the morning he mentioned to Mike how I did so much work, even managing to come to his party. He is so sweet, so grateful, what a blessing he is. Heres a few pics of the event...
(the little girl in the middle is hilarious!)
The Alpha and Omega
I have always had the feeling that I would live to see some crazy shit go down. When I read the prophecy of end times I've always sensed that i would be a part of that picture. I've tried to talk myself out of it rationalizing that every believer throughout history has had a similar feeling. They've come and gone and the earth remains spinning. Under that pretense, it only makes sense that my life on earth shall pass also and the world and future generations will remain. The end times exist for generations ahead of me? But the feeling is still there and I pray that God continues to call his elect until that time, rescue his children before the sun goes dark and it all goes down.
Father God, have mercy on all those who remain and give strength to those who need it most.
So I was with friends last night and we discussed having church in our living rooms. I've been scouting churches the last 3 or so months since the community at Lakeshore eroded. In a nutshell, my pastor who I am so thankful for, opened the door to sin just enough to let the devil in. The devil slipped into the crack, came in the house and started trashing the place, tearing out drawers, jumping on the couches, poisoning the hearts of Gods people. It's okay Gods got a plan to make it better, but in the meantime I've been staying away from the drama and visiting area churches.
The experiences are nice, but something is always missing, just a little bit. So we discussed the home church, service among friends in Christ. Helping eachother in our walk, stretching a hand out along the way. Then this was revealed to me while we prayed :
When we are born we come into the world as infants, weak and vulnerable, one foot in heaven and one on earth. When we are on the brink of death whether we are elderly or sick (or both) we return to that infant state. God is calling his people to return to the early church, which is not a $300,000 building with a $15,000 marketing budget, but a group of believers, the body of Christ performing as the hands and feet of Jesus.
If you are searching for a church, open your hearts and your doors to your friends around you and pray for Gods blessing. God wants us to have close relationships with eachother. Lets be the body of Christ again.
God bless
Keep your eyes and hearts open!

Giving In
Hello,
I'm starting a blog, not entirely because I want to share my daily existance with the world, I really just want to look back and remember what I've been doing over the years because the last decade I honestly remember like 20 % of what happened. I have a terrible memory, and my closest friends will vouch that I can be a bit scatterbrained. So, I will be documenting my life which includes my 4 kids and Mike my husband from today forward. The good, bad, and everything in between, so enjoy, this is my life....
