God working
I just wanted to Praise God and share with you all how He is working in our family. As most people know my father-in-law, Larry, was diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of March. As you can well imagine it threw everyone for a loop. I just wanted to share that even in the midst of all that our family is going thru, God is still working and He cares so much about our problems. Even when we feel like God is no where in sight and he has forgotten about us, He comes to us with a peace and reassurence. He is still in control!!! I can see changes in both Steve and the boys. I can see real spiritual growth in everyone. God has really been working in the lives of my boys and Steve and I. Sometimes as busy moms we don't always get to pray like we would like to but I believe God understands our situation on moms. Being a mom is the greatest calling of all and the biggest responsibliliy. Sometimes I feel like I haven't even prayed or I feel like I am praying here and there all day long. But as I said God understands and hears our prayers no matter where or when we say them. Justice came to me the other day and was asking me about spiritual things that I know I was not even thinking about at his age. But it made me happy that he is wanting to please God and do what He wants him to do. Tyler also came to Steve and I last night and was crying and said that he was worried about his soul and he wanted us to pray with him. We prayed together and I feel that God really helped him. I am very proud of my boys and they are good boys. I often get compliments on them when we are in public and it is not really anything that we have done but God has helped Steve and I. Sometimes I panic as I think of raising my boys and I hope I have done the right thing. I pray for guidance everyday because I have no idea what I am doing. My kids are far from raised and by no means are they perfect but I pray that they will all give their hearts to God and always do His will. I am for sure not perfect and sometimes when we get those compliments I think "HA, yeah right, you should live with them." They are normal boys and I wouldn't have it any other way. My prayer is that we continue to let God do His work in our lives. And that we will be open to his will always.

Thank the Lord for the way He is working your lives. So glad to hear that "the guys" are answering early to God's promptings. It's hard as moms to feel like we are doing things right at times, but you are now enjoying the times you did it right!! How is Larry doing? Have a good week See ya Sunday
That brought tears to my eyes! I know I get that way with our kids too, it like some days it's so hard to work in devotions and praying as a family, but we DO try to do it as much as possible! Those are things I remember doing with my parents when I was a kid and I want my kids to remember having devotions with us! Just to let them know that that's the right thing and to pray for others and then for them to notice that God DOES answer prayer. They do notice all the little things, we need to set a GOOD example ALL the time, b/c they are always watching us!
You do have good kids! And, You're doing a great job! I don't know how you do it, but you've managed;o)
How's everyone feeling?? Better?
I hope so!

They had mentioned the possibility of them doing it at Sauk a week or so ago, then announced Wednesday night that it was a definite thing. They aren't charging a set entrance fee (which they normally do) but are doing it donations with all proceeds going towards the school
