God is in control....

After last week with only one person coming through at our open house, today no one. This is really going to be a test of faith. All the worries of having to slash the price so much that we don't take any money to TX, are becoming scary. I have been wondering why now in this economy do we have to sell our house?! I am trying to rest in that verse for every time there is a season. I know God will provide a buyer at the perfect time, but it's really hard to trust that. I want to know when and how now!
Next weekend we may try and have open houses on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday night is Ean and Emma's birthday party. We are having it at our house. Don't know if I can be ready for a party and open house on the same day. This is going to be a week of prayer. A lot of it!
God is SO MUCH bigger that this. I am going to try and remember that this week!

WOW!

I now have six followers! This is great!

I have had several of you let me know that running in the LHF race would be fun. My girlfriends from Farrell's really want me to. I am kind of worried about training for it. I will be done going to Farrell's on Nov. 5th. Well, the race is the 21st! Can I train for a couple of weeks outside in the cold?! I don't know! I am so not a self motivated person. Get this from my Dad. Wish I was like my Mom, Brother and Sister Judy. They could work out ALL day and LOVE it. Whatever! I am still thinking.

John would you want to give this a try with me?! HA HA!

Will it never end....

I saw a news story on the Today Show this morning that made me angry. Ralph Lauren has photo shopped a model to look like she only has a waist that is 2 in wide. I am not kidding. Very sick. And we wonder why women are so obsessed with our body images? We all need to stand up and say NO to this hype of being tall and skinny.
This has been on my mind a lot due to the fact that my body is not what it used to be. After three kids and ten years of marriage, it has had some ups and downs. I have worked hard this summer to become more healthy and have lost some weight, but I still think it needs work. But why? I should be happy that God made me just the way he wanted me to be. It sure is hard to think positively about it when all the images we see of other women are retouched and not even true. If we even have to retouch a size 4, 5 10", 120 pound model, something is wrong.
I pray that as I raise a daughter, I can encourage her with a healthy body image. This is going to be a challenge, but with the Lords help, I hope Emma will learn to love her body.

Exciting!

I have one follower!!!

Living History Farms Race....

I am wondering since I had to miss the Beaverdale Dash in Sept. if I should run at Living History Farms in Nov. The gals at Farrells are wanting me to run it with them. I don't know. Will I live! I know it's fun and all, but the COLD and getting wet do not thrill me. Hmmm...I will keep you posted on these thoughts.

I am also very frustrated with our computer. (or my lack of knowing how to fix it) I can't get my camera to down load. I have this pic of the kids at our new park that I want to use as my bolg pic. I want to use the colors in it to make my page look better. I am still learning about all of the blog stuff and want to keep up. Jayme, your page is CUTE! I love the green.

Well, my mom is coming up to print out her e-tickets for Calli tomorrow! She gets to see the Ocean for the VERY FIRST TIME!

My first blog on google blogger!

I know I am going to like sharing my part of the world with you all in the next few months! Change is in the air....

Jer. 29:11 "For I know the plan I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."

This is my life verse right now, I am going to need this reminder ever day for a while!
