It has been one busy month and I am so thankful I have a little bit of time here to catch you all up on what we've been doing.
We got back yesterday from going to Columbus, GA for a wedding. It was good to see friends and sistas and brothas in Christ that I haven't seen for a while. We prayed, talked, laughed, ate, and just had a good time together. During the reception Sat. night my little mischievous princess 3 yr. old was running around with a wooden stick in her mouth and fell and cut the roof of her mouth open.....I will spare all the details and just say after lots of blood coming out on her dress and my shirt and then a trip to the ER...we were all better....Anaya says she will never run with a stick in her mouth again and I hope she remembers that and what happens when we don't obey mommy! Thank God it didn't get stuck in her mouth or in her nose or worse....the Lord was really watching over her....
In other news.....we are doing a Summer Camp at our house. A really sweet sister in Christ is sharing her gifts and talents and her two teenage daughters and they are teaching Spanish, Art, Music, and Dance to children in our neighborhood and from their church. We are doing it for two weeks starting this week and then into next week. The kids are having so much fun and I am really enjoying hosting this and getting to know this sweet Christ-centered family. They are also teaching the kids what a Biblical Worldview is and how to defend your faith. Just really useful stuff for the kids to learn and to develop their faith and trust in our great God....
And speaking of OUR GREAT GOD....He is so awesome.....because:
-He has given me revelation of how real and powerful the sinful nature is in us (me and my children) and how to work with my children to overcome the power of sin.
-He has given me scripture to say and pray over my children. Obedience has been a big issue with my sweet, princess 3 yr. old (yes, the same one that ended up in the ER with mommy during a wedding...) I see her eyes change whenever she is deliberately disobeying me and after I correct/spank her, her eyes just shine so bright...it's like she was askin' for a spankin so she can get right with me and the Lord and have peace for her soul....
-He's protected me from getting into a car accident that could have been serious and He has gotten me into and out of places that should have taken a long time but didn't...like car repair shops and doctors appointments....He has put His favor upon me....
-He gives me peace, rest, security and strength all the time even in the midst of chaos and commotion.......as long as I am surrendered to Him!
Praise the Lord....You are my everything!!!!
I want to write more about the Bible study we are doing every other Friday at my home...such sweet sistas in the Lord talking about Our Lord and Savior....
bye for now...dont' be a stranger...ya hear!
