Never did I think I’d have to have a house full of girls to learn the technical name for insects! Instead I had visions of sugar & spice and everything nice.
I digress.
I present you with a random drawing of Hunter’s …
Ladyite Bugs and afits = Ladybugs and Aphids
I have a new appreciation for creepy crawly things … I never thought I’d be the woman who, rather than stomping on them, ushers spiders out my front door. And when I found a baby mouse in my tub one day, I took a photo … nary a scream was heard!
So when Wynter came yelling down the stairs the other day, that one of our guineas had her baby … I barely batted an eye. Barely.
First … I had no idea we had a pregnant guinea. What surprised me most was the fact that the girls knew! “Oh, we forgot to tell you.” Nice.
So yeah. We’ve got a newborn guinea in our midst. For now, he/she’s named “little one.”
My wise and trustworthy God, according to Your Word,
trials come to me so that my faith – of greater worth than gold,
which perishes even though refined by fire -
may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory,
and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed {1 Peter 1:7}.
Father, You have told me that the testing of my faith develops
perseverance {James 1:3}. Please help me to not refuse
to be faithful in tests granted for my gain.
Help me, Lord, not to become weary in doing good,
for at the proper time I will reap a harvest if I
do not give up {Galatians 6:9}.
~ Beth Moore
Praying God’s Word day by day
Hello … a quick note that I haven’t made a decision yet on our giving project. The response was overwhelming and I’m prayerfully considering each request. I’m going to have the teen help me, and she’s traveling for a few more days. I’ve also decided not to share each request with the littles. Once Taylor and I make a decision, I’ll let the girls know what we’re doing and who will be blessed by our decision.
My goal is to send the notes out on Monday to the recipients.
In full disclosure, some of the needs are smaller and not necessarily in need of $1,000.00 … so I may split some of it up so more needs can be met.
Thank you for your patience!
I can’t wait for my girlies to wake up this morning!
It all started with a crazy idea from a friend wondering if the girls and I would want to come down to Orlando for a program at her church.
I thought about it … but not too long … I was just crazy enough to say YES!
So … the girls and I are headed to Florida this morning! But they don’t know!! I think surprising them is the thing I’m most excited about! Well … that and getting to see Stacey!
The girls think they have to go to school this morning, but I’m letting them sleep in and we’ll see what happens when they wake up.
Then on Saturday we’ll explore one of the theme parks {I’m going to let them choose … Disney, Universal Studios, a water park?}.
I’m sorta bursting and wanted to share!
Thanks for listening!
Have a blessed weekend!
As you were …
