Back again...

It's hard to believe that so much time has passed since I have posted.  This last month has just flown by. 

So much has happened. 

Many things were scratched off the to-do list.  Yay!  That's always a good feeling! 

I have opened a Facebook account....I'm not impressed.  More on that in another post.

I saw old friends on Facebook...very nice but few really wanted to connect.   That's a little sad.

My sister Cheryl, rode in segments from Michigan to Orlando, FL with a group to raise money and awareness for a pregnancy help center.  It was grueling but very rewarding for her. 

God has provided work for Bob in amazing ways!  He is working with a pool company and a landscape company on a commission basis.  He has several opportunities for sales right now.  A BIG THANK YOU to all of you who prayed for us.  Keep praying that these projects move forward.  Also a landscape project popped up so Bob and the guys will be installing that in just over a week.  God has been so faithful to hear and answer our prayers!! 

Our garden started producing more beans!  This is truly amazing!  We had planted pole beans but they never produced.  Now since the rainy, cooler weather has come, we are getting lots of wonderful, sweet beans!  Also the yellow squash and zucchini are producing.  More blessings!!

Bob has mastered Google Sketchup to the place that he can use it to present pools in a 3D format.  That is a real praise as he had to relearn how to use the program and made quick progress.

I was asked to make some custom aprons and so making some more money for the household expenses.

We were accepted by the homeschool convention in SC, the one we really wanted to attend.  The kids continue to sell ebooks.

We "happened" upon a huge yarn sale at Hobby Lobby and I was able to get some yarn so I can make more slippers to sell!! 

And the list goes on...I see these things as direct answers from God to the prayers that we poured out to Him.  Some people would say this was all coincidence but no,  it is the hand of God. 

Why do I doubt, why do I fear?  There is no need.  God will supply my needs.  He will provide.  He has proved Himself faithful over and over. 

Grateful,

Arrayed Like One of These

" And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.

 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.

 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?

 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?

 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?

 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?

 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you."

Luke 12:22-31

Lord, help me to seek your kingdom today, to not fret or worry about those things out of my control.  Help me to place all things in Your hands and to trust you implicitly this day.  Your Word is true and You will provide all we need. 

Thank You.
