It has been six months?

Wow has it been six months since my last blog entry? There has been a lot of things happening in that time. I thought I was going to lose my job at the end of November but now I think were on pretty solid ground for awhile. Zack and Kaylyn got their drivers license's in November and Tracy and I took a cruise in Dec. Now you may say that possibly losing my job and going on a cruise don't go together but it was already paid for and we were past the point were we would get any money back if we canceled so we were going whether I had a job or not.
Gotta get back on track with this blog have a lot to blog about just need to get my thoughts organized.

One day at a time...

Wow, it has been almost three months since my last blog entry. In that time we have planned and cancled a trip to Disney World ,watched Kaylyns softball season,watched the kids finish up their freshmen year of highschool, sent Kaylyn off to Philadelphia for the PhillyGo trip, Zack volunterred at two diff VBS cuz he is now that cool teenager kid that the little kids like. Finnally we are taking a deep breath to finish up strong next the kids head to NMC teen camp which is an awesome experience and start drivers ed at end of July and will finish up just before they go back to school.

So I thingk the activities we did this summer were toned way down so that our lives weren't planned down to the minute and the schedule still allowed us plenty of spontaneous time to just have fun like trips to flavor freeze and cold stone creamery or a quick Sunday trip to Chicago for a dinner for two, or just simply a leasurely scuba dive on the morning of the 4th.

I good friend of mine put things into perspective for me when she told me there was a sign at her Dr's office that read "If you have one foot in tomorrow and one foot in yesterday your just pissing on today" now that may sound harsh but when she said it I understood completley what she ment since she has been battling for her life with breast cancer since Nov 08, oh yeah my money is on her in this fight.

Quick thought...

Why is it when God seems quiet the devil makes a huge ruckus?

It had seemed quiet.

The beginning of 2008 was a time that I felt God had been quiet in our lives and I wasn't sure why. We seemed "comfortable" but maybe on autopilot would be more appropriate description. Tracy and I had decided to separate ourselves from our current Sunday school not because we didn't care about the people but because we didn't feel like we were being feed. Tracy and I were invited to join a group of people to be the first to go through the Marriage Dynamics program at NMC. I couldn't put my finger on the time since then but I think this song pretty much covers our last year.

Man it's gotten a little crazy again around here but were surviving.....I still hate the IRS

Stress or the Flu?

Lately I have had this strange feeling in the pit of my stomach. I first thought it was the flu but I am thinking it's from stress. I can't help but be overwhelmed with all the doom and gloom that we are bombarded with everyday. I keep returning to this

MATT 6:25(AP) "Therefore I tell you,(AQ) do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26(AR) Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.(AS) Are you not of more value than they? 27And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his(AT) span of life?[g] 28And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29yet I tell you,(AU) even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you,(AV) O you of little faith? 31Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For(AW) the Gentiles seek after all these things, and(AX) your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33But(AY) seek first(AZ) the kingdom of God and his righteousness,(BA) and all these things will be added to you.

34(BB) "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

I just can't shake the feeling of the earthly unknown. I was really feeling I was on the upswing of all this when I relapsed.

Who's side are you on?

I got hit in the head with a frying pan this morning while sitting in first service at church it was Joshua 5 13-15
13When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold,(O) a man was standing before him(P) with his drawn sword in his hand. And Joshua went to him and said to him, "Are you for us, or for our adversaries?" 14And he said, "No; but I am the commander of the army of the LORD. Now I have come." And Joshua(Q) fell on his face to the earth and worshiped and said to him, "What does my lord say to his servant?" 15And the commander of the LORD’s army said to Joshua,(R) "Take off your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy." And Joshua did so.
I don't want God on "my" side I want to be on Gods side doing his will in my life. I can't tell you how many times I have screwed up Gods plan because I thought my way was better or faster.
