Just Sharing A Little

Things are still pretty busy around here. We did get the water heater in finally at the other house and we have hot water now which is great. There is a story behind it though the water heater that one of our brothers gave us didn't work because it leaked (we were still thankful for his heart). We went and bought a new one and got it all hooked up and it was doing fine but later on that night we went back by the house to check it out and make sure there were no leaks and such and when we pulled up we could see down the side of the house and it looked really wet. Johnny ran inside and sure enough a pipe had busted and the house was flooded! It flooded the utility room, the kitchen and the master bedroom so we did what we could to get it cleaned up and called the insurance company and thank God it is all covered. So now we are in the process of picking out new flooring and for those three rooms and when all the work is finished we plan on moving in. We are hoping to move in the next few weeks.

Today I got a really surprising phone call. My cousin called me today and was asking me about church and said that he was wanting to get him and his family into church. Now none of my family are in the church and I was just thrilled that he called and is showing interest. I would like prayer about this if you think of it because he has had a pretty rough life and says that he has gotten his life straightened up and wants to make some changes. He says that he knows that God has helped him and he wants to do something for God. It seems like he is searching and I really hope that he can come to know the Lord.

Well I guess that is all that I have to share for now. I hope that anyone who reads this is well and I look forward to hearing from you all.

Blessings!!

We have has so many blessing lately that I need to share them. We are moving as you all know and we need a hot water heater for the house because the old one is cracked, so last night my husband was at Men's Meeting at church and a brother told him that he has one that we could have. We feel so blessed in this because water heaters are very expensive. The one that he is giving us is smaller than we are used to but I am sure that with the help of the Lord we can make some adjustmens so that it will work out. Also a few weeks ago some brethren sent us a check out of the blue we were really shocked and when my husband asked the brother about it he said that he felt like the Lord put it on his heart to send it to us. We have been able to do alot of work on the house and not feel so stressed about money. We are so thankful to the Lord and the brethren for their love. Also I am very thankful how God has answered prayer so fast because Jada has done so much better with school this week. Monday she did cry but as soon as she sat down with the other kids in class she was fine and today she didn't cry at all and the other mothers even commented that she had a smile on her face when she walked through the door at school. God is so good and I just wanted to share what he has done for us in the past few days.

Schoolcrafts Happenings

Well I haven't been able to post for a while but we have been so so busy. We have had Jada's birthday party and then Christmas and we are preparing to move. We are moving into the house that Johnny grew up in and we have been painting a getting things ready over there. We finished the painting on New Years Day and then the next day we went to Kentucky for the weekend. So things have been a little crazy around here. We did have a beautiful Christmas though I think that it is one of the best that we have had in years and for that I am thankful to the Lord. New Years we really didn't do anything me and Sondra and Frankie all sat on the couch and watched the ball drop and just visited because Johnny went to bed early and we were the only ones that were still here. Bro Jimmy had to work early so they had to leave and that just left us. Our trip to Kentucky was great we were able to visit with the brethren there and be in meeting with them this morning and that was nice. Bro. Marvin from down there needs prayer he hurt his back on Friday before we got there and has been in terrible pain and also Bro. Brad has been having some bad spells and he needs prayer too.

That is really all for now we are going to start packing soon and tomorrow Jada goes back to preschool so she will need prayer she is still not wanting to go but Johnny and I sat down and talked with her tonight and she seems to be some better about it so we will see. I hope that every one is well and I look forward to reading all the blogs.

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!

Jada and School

Jada has really loved preschool from day one until the last couple of weeks. About the last 4 or 5 times that she had school she has cried for me when I left and said that she was going to miss me and that really broke my heart. Well last night I was talking to Chelsea and mentioned school and Jada started crying and saying that she didn't want to go to school anymore. I had questioned her about school to see if anything was going on but I tried to do it in a way that she would tell me and I wouldn't give her any ideas of reasons why she should stay home but last night I out right asked her if someone was being mean to her and she said yes and told me a little boy was being mean to her. Well I assured her that I would talk to the teacher and I sent a picture of me and Daddy to school with her so that she could look at it if she missed us but she was still crying this morning when I dropped her off. I did speak with the teacher and she said that they were having a problem with this child and that he was mean to all the kids not just Jada which I might add did not make me feel any better. Last night Jada and I prayed that things would get better and we even prayed for the little boy and he was not at school today. I do not wish any harm on him but I was kind of relieved that he was not there today. I know I am rambling but if you think of Jada please pray for her. My husband and I don't want to take her out of preschool because what will happen when she is in school later on and someone picks on her then she will want to quit that but I also really would like this problem to be resolved so that she can start enjoying school again.

Snow!!!!

Today I was out for a while and when I got home this is what I came home to (a snow angel). Jada has been really really wanting snow and she finally got some. To bad her little sister was napping when her Daddy took her out and she missed the play time. That is probably for the best though because she doesn't like to get anything on her hands or clothes and I am not sure how she would handle the snow. But little sissy did get to enjoy the hot chocolate when she got up from her nap so she did get to take part.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving. I hope everyone has a beautiful holiday!
