Um... wow.  I just noticed I can see my breath.  No wonder my feet were getting cold, it's COLD up in here!  I wish March would hurry and warm up.

On a side note, two days ago was a great day for going for a walk.  It was March forth, I mean fourth.

Hey BG, what are you knitting? And do we get to see pics?

Chel dearie... Did D promise you? 'Cause I don't remember making any promise like that. I mean, not that wouldn't make them for you, but I sort of need to know if I promised something that I don't remember...

God is good. Really, really good. I just thought I should tell you that.

Yup. D promised me. :grin:

[Nelle]

Wowowowowoowwoooooooowwwww!

What a day!!!

So! I didn't pass out at the parade. I didn't even see much of it. WARNING: Sharing ahead...might be longwinded, proceed with caution.


I fought the devil this morning trying to get up and ready for church. I was NOT feeling good at all and dreading the long day. But I went. Get there and I'm toting my Livi around and Krissy passes me in the asile and says "are Honor and Chad here today again?" and I'm like "ummm no, not suppose to be" and she says "I just saw a woman walk to the prayer room with a little girl and she looked just like Honor" so I walked to the foyer door and looked to see their vehicle. It wasn't there, so I go back into the church and sister Shirley stops me and says "did you see your brother?!" and I'm like "no!! Where IS he?!" and she said "he took his little boy into the prayer room a min ago" I was in pure shock! This was the second time recently that they have just showed up at our church! It was wild!

Church was amazing! And I had my THREE babies on the pew with me!! Livi gets jealous when any other kids and with me and she is stuck to me like glue! I love it! Bro Jones preached for us today, and it was Goliath must die, but in the valley. It was awesome! We had a good shoutdown and it was over. Lol

So since Chad and Honor showed up, I ended up going out to eat with the family instead of eating sandwiches at the church with the youth like I had intended. After lunch though, I had to get back to the church to help with the parade stuffs. THAT was an ordeal. I followed pastors van around and through and up and down and around side streets and crazy ways to get back to the church and avoid all the roads that were blocked off for miles around the entire parade route. (these people take this thing WAYYYY too serious!) so after about 45 mins of all this driving...I kid you not...we FINALLY got back to church and I took pictures of all our kids and Livi withe their beads and toys an such.

Then, after the parade and cleanup, and after all the kids were gone (except Ian, Anns stepson) Kimber, my new friend and I wanted to hang out. BUT she lives an hour away and doesn't have a vehicle right now and her parents were ready to get home. So...I decided to take her home and hang at her house. We dropped Ian off at Anns cause it was on the way, and he needed a ride, and we borrowed the Prince Caspian DVD to watch. (I have TOTALLY TOTALLY turned Kimber into a Narnia fan! She has breezed through the first 4 books in one week so far!! She is itching to finish the last three!)

So we get to her house and she is giving me the tour, and I see that she has CHICKENS!!! I was excited! I HAD to go pet them and hold one so I could have Kimber take a picture of me so I could text Seth the pics!! It was great! She has horses too, and her mom made homeade taco pizza, and we talked and talked and talked, and then watched Prince Caspian. It was pretty awesome!

Then I left and came home. Got home about 11.

Amazing, amazing, amazing!!!

A day full of surprises, and blessings and wonderful friends. God is good like that!

[MelodyB]

Oh! And I'm keeping Parker tomorrow!! Yay! Love that boy! I got to see him today too! His Daddy had to be in the parade, and it started by our church, so they came to church with is this morning!

[SippinTea]

  Yikes, Mel! Full day for you! I'm sure E and J were nearly beside themselves with glee at seeing you again so soon.

So. Tired.

Headed to bed, and not setting my alarm for the usual time since I don't have to be anywhere early. Gonna let myself sleep in at least an extra 1/2 hr. I feel exhausted.

Night, everyone!

[MelodyB]

E was very excited and didn't leave my side. J gave me a half hug and kept in his "I'm in public so I'm gonna be shy" mode. He does that now. But if we were at his house or in a more private/family setting, he would have been wild and climbing all over me. But he stuck pretty close, just not clingy like E (and O )

BTW...pics of my day are on FB.

[MelodyB]

Up.

Morning, all. Gotta get through today (it's my Friday), then it's off to Springfield, Missouri tonight to the Bass Pro Shop. Not usually my cup of tea, but a friend called wanting me to ride up with him and Lou gave her permisson, so why not go? He's paying for everything, and it'll do me good to have a day of "chilling". Besides, there's a buffet in Branson calling my name.

Downside is, I'll probably miss a couple of pages of you chatterboxes, since I'm not gonna drag my laptop along. I'll just have to catch up Tuesday evening. That's says something for how addicted to this place I am- one night away and I'm stressing.

LOL

Man, whatta Friday-Sunday.

Friday I went to a Dr appt, then rushed back to the house to get ready to drive 2 hours south to for a children's crusade.  Had a wonderful time.  Saturday I worked, and unknowingly set myself up for a blessing Sunday.  Sunday morning, service, then back to work to help out a guy.  Come to find out, he and his wife attend church in another part of the state!  I helped him and in return he was a huge inspiration and blessing to me.

Then last night for church...wooboy!

Pastor opened the service and handed it to me.  I should have warned him.  When we were having prayer meeting, I had a huge burden hit for the service.  Sometimes that means God wants to take us to a point to be ministered too, sometimes it means God wants take over.

We started singing, and God was moving.  But it seemed we were at a point where God wanted to take us a step further in faith.  We did.  Sang another song, people were worshiping, and the music stopped.

I looked around and the musicans were 1) gone, 2) praying, or 3) worshiping.

I had a feeling that service was taking a turn at that point...lol

My dad runs the sound booth some.  He was out of it, across the church and praying for a young man.

Chelleebelle (my wife) was off the platform, headed twoard the organist, when God led her back to pray for a young lady in the youth group.

I was bouncing around like a golf ball teed off in a tile bathroom.  (Theres one for you Ray Stevens fans)

After a while, things started to slow down, Pastor started leading us in a song, and I look to the back of the church, and see my wife and daughter praying.  Pretty soon, everyone but my sisters (okieoliveoyl) hubby, (who was trying to play a little music) was back there praying with my daughter.  And she got the HOLY GHOST!

Ill try to edit this later and add a couple pictures of the event.  It was wonderful!

[Nelle]

Awesome mini!

Hoping this week stays good! I'm in a pretty good mood.

[MelodyB]

That's awesome, Jeremy!! Always a great time when the kids receive the Holy Ghost!

[Lynx]

Mel:  I bet you slept well after all that. 

minnesota:  Congratulations!  I don't have any kids so I can't say I know how it feels when one of them gets the Holy Ghost, but I bet it's awesome for a parent. 

SHARING:  I'm waiting for my tax return check to get here so I can get a new laptop.

For those of you who don't know processors, that i5 is pretty fast.  For those of you who don't know how much they usually cost, that is fairly cheap.  For those of you who don't know Lenovo, it's a pretty good brand.

Waiting to fill out paperwork at the dr's office. Grrr. Then it's off to work for the day. At least there isn't any new snow on the ground!

[Melody]

Praise God Jeremy!  He is so good!  Congrats on your new Holy Ghost baby. ☺

[EricShane]

Mini thats the best!!!!

[Chseeads]

Eating the last bite of breakfast.


The best part of Mel-Mel's big ordeal was the chickens.

[MsJennJenn]

Congrats Mini!!

We had a lil girl get the Holy Ghost last night too!!

Our church blew up as the choir sang Baptize Me Jesus!

I shall have power
Your word says so

If you are going to Springfield run over to Ozark and hit Lamberts!

[Chseeads]

If you are going to Springfield run over to Ozark and hit Lamberts!

Wouldn't that be police brutality?

[myhaloisintheshop]

 

It would be a crime to go all the way to Springfield and NOT go to Lamberts!

[Melody]

I wanted to throw a roll to my Pastor's wife so bad when we went there! But she's pretty refined for that sort of thing.  I'd die if she missed and it hit in the head or something. ☺
