UPDATE: I want to obey Jesus...

Well, Nathan got off the bus yesterday saying "Mom, I so so sorry, I had a change of heart." and I was like what happen Nathan and gave him a hug and told him it would be ok.. Well then he showed me..lol The teacher gave Nathan a pumpkin yesterday at school and Nathan carved a pumpkins.. I feel sad for Nathan but I so understand. Nathan all evening kept saying God I'm so sorry that I changed my mind.. and tell me that he was sorry that his brain forgot to not do the pumpkin.. and I kept telling him that I forgave him.. and I was so sure that God forgave him too..


Then I Kept thing about the whole thing and then a WOW moment came to me., how how many times have I done this to God, in my prayer time I will say oh God I am going to fast for you for so many days.. and then after so many days I fail I will eat something that I said I would not do or drink something that I said I would fast... or I tell them LORD I'm going to read the bible in a year but I don't finish it... So thankful for Gods saving grace and mercy for us all.

I'm so thankful that Nathan did come to me and say I'm sorry.. BUT most of all I'm thankful that Nathan went to the feet of Jesus and asked God to forgive him..

I want to obey Jesus!

Today Nathan and I where sitting in the SUV waiting for Sam to get done with basketball practice.. I don't totally remember the whole conversation we had but I'm going to do my best is sharing what I do remember and I have said Nathan to help me...

Nathan said "Mom you see those black and yellow (orange)things...
Mom "yes I do Nathan"
Nathan "Mom I told my teacher today that I won't be carving pumpkins"
Mom "oh yea, why"
Nathan "cause Itold teacher choose to not do it"
Mom "really"
Nathan "yea, I want to obey Jesus and mom"
Mom "I am proud of you Nathan"
Nathan"carving pumpkins is not good!!
Mom "ok, thank you for obeying"

I could not remember the word(choose) so I went and asked Nathan if he remembered and the he hold me " Mom carving is bad.. it has bad spirits in it". and then he looks at me and says right mom!" lol and then I said Well yea... See Nathan over heard Sam and I talking about why we don't do Halloween and I was telling Sam about what i have found about the origin of the day and other holidays.. Well Mr. Nathan remembers that conversion.

I am so blessed by my children.. Thank you Jesus for all the wonderful work you are doing in and though the boys..

That Little Voice

Last Week Sam was in one of his classes, and after he finished his work the teacher said that whoever wanted to could go outside and paint the windows.. Well as he was walking outside to help paint and then this little voice told him to stop and turn back around, and he did. Then when he looked back he seen that all the students where painting the windows for halloween..

When I picked Sam up from school that day. He said "Mom I heard this little voice tell me to turn around and not go paint the windows" and I said "Sam do you know what the little voice was?" and He says " I think so, I think it was God" and I said "Yes, that was the Holy Spirit. and how does it feel knowing that you obeyed Him"? and Sam said "Feels good!" I forget the rest of the conversation..

Oh thank you Jesus for my son that has ears to hear you and a heart of obey.. Thank you Jesus for the sweet little boy that you have entrusted me with.. Help me OH God to be the best mom for him..

Walk A Thon ~ Oct 2008

Thank you all so much for all your support and prayers.We have great news Samuel walked 45 laps equaling 11.25 miles. Samuel started at 1pm and ended around 6pm.. and he took a brake to eat dinner then went back out to finish. He did have a goal of walking 50 laps and he came very close. I'm so proud of him for all his hard work. Samuel also had a goal of raising $150.00 for his school. and with all your help he raised that and more.. woo~hoo Samuel raised $220.00.

Do you see Sam.. All the children in the blue shirts are from the elementary school. All the children in the black shirts are from the middle charter school

Sam showing us how many laps so far
Here is Sam and Elvis (AKA Mr. Reno Sam's Principal) Here is Sam and Nathan after the all the walking..

My heart cry is that our boys would be men that serive the LORD with their whole heart.

I was watching the end of Lou Engels on God TV.. and he said something that just hit me.. and its so true.. I don't care if our boys are famous or successful... Its more important to me that they are men that follow God with their whole heart.. That they don't shrink back.. but they run fully after the LORD and all he has for them... I want the best for our boys.. I want the to taste, see, feel the freedom in the LORD. I want them to have a love for the LORD more then anything else in life. I want the to have a boldness that won't and or want be silent about the LORD.. They would be faithful to the LORD with their whole heart.

Oh God, thank you so much for the blessing in raising these wonderful boys for you. OH God I need your wisdom and direction.. God I need your insight. I just need you more then the air I breath and or the food I eat. God I just need your help to riase these boys for you. I need your faith, grace and mercy. I need ears to hear you, eyes to see you, and a heart to recieve everyting you have for us. I need the faith to believe in everything you say and do!!!!! Amen and Amen!

I miss Him :-(

Silly I know.. Jason left on Friday to go hunting and helping his Cousin with his cabin. Its only Sunday, and I miss my hubby.. I'm feeling like a lost little puppy. Also why is it that my house stays cleaner when he is gone? as soon as he comes home my house is not as tidy. its clean but not tidy not spotless... I still have 4 more days... Oh hum

I miss his smile
I miss his hugs
I miss the way he talks to the boys.
I miss hearing the gate open when he comes home...
I miss hearing him pray with us.
I miss hearing him quote bible verses to us.

Oh man is this normal to miss your spouse this much?? Is this really how Gods planed for it to? Could it be that I'm that depending upon a man that it causing me to be lonely with out him??.. and it that how God wants it? Oh boy, to me this is just craziness.. All my life I have never been this crazy in love with someone.. and I never thought that I could ever love something like I love this man.. or for that matter love my boys.
