Me & Bre in Durham, NC 4/18/09

Missionary Sunday 4/19/2009 I LOVE BALLOON SUNDAY!!!!!

(extra balloons ...sending the plan of salvation...We must reach them while we can!)

Well.......its almost the end of April and I cannot believe how fast time has gone. Tyler will be home in a month and I'm so excited. We had such a great visit at Spring Break with Tyler, Kayce, Michael & Bre here at the house. The older I get the more I realize how much I cherish having all the kids around. When that young missionary couple came to our church a couple weeks ago, it sure made me realize how much I hope and pray my kids stay close by. I want them doing what God wants for their life but I know he gives us the desires of our hearts and being near them is MY desire. Aren't I selfish?! :) At the ladies meeting in Durham, NC this past weekend I realized next year will be Bre and I's last ladies meeting together. (unless she lives near my house after she gets married and we can go together still like me and my mom!) She graduates in June next year and plans to attend Hyles Anderson in September next year. Pray for her :) Pray for Tyler at college :) Pray for the plans we are making to go to Brittanys graduation in May! So excited for her!

I still haven't found a job. I am suppose to get a call this week from two different places that I had phone interviews so pleeeeeeease pray it all works out SOON. (the one job is 7 minutes from home and I'd be able to come home for lunch! AWESOME) God has been so good and met all of our needs and I'm so thankful we've made it this far. (thank God for the tax refund, friends & family) If you had told me in November (after my surgery) that I would still be out of work in April...I would never have believed it. But as my preacher said, I can, we can and GOD CAN!

Well .....must go clean and make lunch for my Bre. My fantabulous sister in law Cheryl is here visiting from Minnesota and may come over later with my wonderful in laws.(I LOVE THEM!) I am so blessed to have a wonderful family!!!! And I have super great friends that I love so so much and encourage me more than they know!!! (special thanks to Ann Hoopsick for all her help...what a blessing she's been to Bre & I!!!)

God is still good ...when the waves roll high

God is still good...all through the night

When I've done all I can, and I don't understand

God is still good

Clouds of doubt may darken my way

But showers of blessings will come anyday

He'll bring me through and I'll stand and say...GOD IS STILL GOOD!!!!!

I CAN...WE CAN....GOD CAN!!! JUST GET OUTTA THE BOAT....

Well its Friday again......I cannot believe Tyler has come and gone. Where did the week go?!?! I hate that I was sick while he was here for Spring Break. :( But we still had a super great time. After he got to the college last night he text me 'thank you mom & dad for a GREAT spring break at home. ' :) So glad he has a place to come home too. Wonderful grandparents, wonderful church, great friends. God is just soooooooooo good to us. My highlight was hearing him preach Wednesday night. What mom wouldn't be proud of their 19 year old son preaching at the church he has grown up in? Thanks to my preacher & my dad for allowing that to happen. He was able to hang out with both GODLY sets of grandparents,his dad & sister, his girlfriend, his best friend, his puppy Turbo and dog Prancer...it just doesn't get better than that, huh?! And man o man did he fall in love with Billy's drums. h aha I swear the kid can do anything he sets his mind too. He had NEVER played in his life and picked up the drumsticks and played along with his Ipod. Too awesome! (he had played maybe 3 hours at the most when he let me record him playing this video)

The house seems so quiet right now. Billy's at work, Bre's at work, Tyler's at college, the animals are all sleeping and I am updating my blog. Hmmmm! You can seriously hear a pin drop in our house. Is this my new reality? Bre graduates within the next year, and I'm well....going to have empty nest syndrome! AHHH!!!!

Keep praying for me a job. I went to a great interview yesterday and hope to hear from them by Tuesday. The guy introduced me to other employees like I was already one of them. :) I'm trying hard not to get to excited about it because the disappointment hurts to bad.

Well thats me...in my quiet little nest for now.........I love you all!!!!

Oh and how adorable is my nephew Trenton singing. Tyler and the boys at church made a CD and Trenton fell in love with the song Joshua. Soooo when mom came by my house with Trenton Wednesday he sang Joshua to Tyler. And well....he did so great he sang it in church Wednesday night with the boys!!!!! SOooooooo precious in his litle black suit. Hope you got to see him. If not enjoy my little video!!!!! :)
