Updates

After a very trying week battling a kidney infection and an abscess cyst, our weekend ended on a good note. We had food delivered to our home everyday this week, including Saturday, by people that love us and love serving the Saviour. I have had this problem twice before and both times ended up hospitalized on a morphine pump. Thanks to the generosity of the people I was (for the first time) able to obey doctors orders and stay on complete bed rest. Thus avoiding a hospital stay. God is good and His mercy is everlasting. Saturday the junior high and high schoolers went to putt putt fun house and boy did they have fun. It is so refreshing to see my children involved and interacting with Godly young people. We presented ourselves for church membership this morning and were accepted graciously. My husband, Jaime, and I were accepted by letter and Nicholas will be baptized. (Nicholas made a profession of faith as a young child and was baptized only to realize later that he was not really saved. He accepted Christ in Dec.'04 but never submitted to scriptural baptism due to all the problems where we were.) Praise be to God that a new chapter of our life is open before us and the past can be left there...in the past.

Monday's thought

Legalism destroys our loving relationship with God.

Thursday

Busy day planned today. After school I need to head to Angleton and turn in some paperwork and visit with a friend.

Later this afternoon I have an appointment to see my nephrologist. My blood pressures are doing better (due to the removal of stresses). I am however having ongoing kidney issues that just can not be resolved:(

Tonight is ladies games night at church and I would love to go and see what that is all about.

Been doing some things around the house and that is keeping us busy.

Full Weekend

We had a really busy (but very fun) weekend.
We met up with friends Saturday morning and headed to Houston's Museum District Day.
When we were finished with that we headed to Sugarland to a lovely park there and had a cook out.
Sunday night after services was the youth's pool party. This was a real treat for us and we all had a great time.
I am very thankful for people who are willing to open their homes to our youth.

Finished with dad's appointment and he is officially 5 years tumor free!!

Space

As you are all aware, there are seven people living in our home. Thus, space is a precious thing.
Nicholas has his own computer but not really space for it. This is where and how he usually works.
Notice the very nice mouse pad.

Today my Christian is 13! We now have 3 teenagers at home and are forever mindful of God's goodness!!

Happy and Ya Know It

Maybe Isaiah will be the next one to play the piano...ya never know:)

HMMMMM
