Praise and prayer request

I am so excited to tell you all that God has lead me and my husband to rededicated our lives to HIM and join Breakthrough Church of God. Our lives have been filled with such joy and I just want to praise HIM for the many blessings! :)

I want to ask everyone to please pray for my Grandma Jo Tullis. She has pneumonia. She is 81 so an illness like this is very serious. Thank you all for your prayers!

The youth at our church (Breakthrough Church of God) help a Valentine Banquet to raise money for a mission trip. They fixed a meal and provided entertainment.... boy did they! They put on a womanless beauty contest....... it was hilarious! You can check out the pictures at the churches website: http://www.breakthroughchurchofgod.com/

The "junk"

Once again the "junk" (for lack of a better word) is going around the school again and of course it didn't bypass my classroom. I have had so many absent. Today I just couldn't make it and had to break down and go to the doctor. Big T had not been feeling well either so I checked him out and we were off to the doctor. Hubby had to take TG Monday for the same thing. So my house has a major ear and sinus infection going around in it :(

After the doctor we had to head to the lawyer to finally settle with the insurance company from the accident. So we are finally home and I am exhausted and my ears are killing me!

Please pray for us that God would touch our bodies and give us strength. My love to all!

update and prayer request

Another work week has past.... and I am so thankful it is the weekend. This week has gone by so slow. Even my students felt that way. :) So all is well with the world that Friday is here!

My sweet wonderful husband found me a piano for Valentines Day! How sweet is that!!!! I had to sell my piano when I moved into an apartment a few years ago. I have missed it terribly. My husband may live to regret buying it after he has to listen to me play forever!!! LOL

All is well on the home front. Hubbies foot infection is gone, but he still isn't able to handle going back to work. By mid morning he is shot! His walking is doing great, but he just can't hold out for long. His hand is still the same. I must say that I am loving the fact that hubby is home. I can't stand the thought of him having to go back to driving and being gone that long everyday!

I ask for your prayers for a young couple in Fort Payne. The Woods family had a baby this past week that had to be taken to Birminham for open heart surgery. She weighed over 8 pounds and everything else was good with her except both the valves in her heart we connected on the same side.

HE knows!

In my last post I spoke about the struggle I was having in letting my kids experience life and trust that they will remember to follow what God would have them to do. As my family and I sat in church bro. David began to preach about stress. He reminded us all about Psalms 23:1 "The Lord is my Shepard, I have everything I need."

David continued to speak about how people were not made to stress or worry. If you are a child of God you have no need to worry. God said he will supply ALL our needs. So stressing about something is really saying to God that we do not believe that HE IS LORD.

Well let me just say this hit home with me after this week. I am so thankful for this message and how God spoke to me. I am at peace knowing that HE is in control.

Thank you for your prayers and I love you all very much!
