I can not believe how time gets away. I still l have not feeling well with this sinus stuff. Just when I think I am better here it comes again!
Life has been busy with home and school. One of our sons came over on Monday over the last couple of weeks to help Hubby get some heavy cleaning in the storage area and rearranging done also. He also spent time repairing some "dings" on the walls of our family room and painting. Looks really nice. We went with a milk chocolate brown. Makes the room so cozy.
New slip covers on the sofas also! The room was in need of a change.
Snow, snow, snow...kind of tired of it. Well, at least the mess it drags in! We had a nice snow Sunday afternoon into Monday morning. About 2 1/2 to 3 inches. I heard on the radio this morning that we are in for 2 to 4 more inches tonight! If only the snow would stay off the the street, sidewalk and parking lots! Our dog, Lucy, was trying to catch the snow that the boys were throwing into the air. This snow was the light fluffy stuff, not good for making snowballs or snowmen! They still had a good time in it.
Our scholars are always complaining that they never get a snow day! Well, I surprised them and did not call them for school on Monday morning. I decided to let them sleep in and have a snow day after all! They did not believe me when they finally woke up and I told them it was a snow day. They actually thought I was teasing! Actually, we have to be at church for cantata practice on Saturday morning at 8:30 and then will be going to on of the nursing homes for a Christmas service and singing. So I thought I could show a little bit of Christmas spirit and give them the day off. I know, I know...what a nice mother I am! I must admit, I surprise myself sometimes! ;-)
I was reading in my devotions today in 2 Corinthians 5. Walking by faith. That is a hard thing to do, especially when we are use to using our five sences for everything. Walking by faith is so hard because we live in an instant world! We want everything now, or close to now as possible.
Our family has been living without a job for the last 3 months. There has been no paycheck. A litlle scary with 13 mouths in a home. We like food, heat, electricity, water, etc. Of course I want Husband to have a job NOW! I want to go to the grocery store and pick out my meals. I want to be able to go buy my 7 year old son a needed pair of jeans. Do you see how those sentences have started out...

"I want..."
Guess what...? It's not about me, it is all about Him. And walking by faith, and letting God take the credit and the glory and honor for EVERYTHING! More of Him, less of me. Oh let's not forget how God works in other peoples lives. Their ears, eyes and hearts have been opened to Him. God has used others to provide for us, and He gets...
all the glory!
I am no one special, just a child of God that is learning everyday the lesson of walking by faith. Some days I fail the lesson, but God is there to forgive me and put me back on track when I come to Him with a repentive heart. We serve an awesome God!
