Thank you to Amy at 160 for the free downloads.
I am having so much fun playing with my photoshop. I am still an early beginner but each time I sit down I am learning something new.
So how was your weekend? Soccer started this weekend in this household. I was enjoying the break from sports, and enjoying my Saturdays. Alas, that does not last. The one thing I am not really looking forward to is football beginning in August, that is when my life becomes a standstill and our life is rotated around everything football (right Carol?). Sigh.. my boys love it. And I love to see them enjoying sports, ’tis the life in a all male household.
I really have not talked about selling the house that much, because well it has been a slow going. I finally ordered new carpet and it should be installed in about a week. And after that the house should be going on the market. I have been leaving it in the Lords hands, knowing he has all the details worked out already. This has not been an easy task for me, but I told myself I am not going to worry. Satan knows this is my weak area right now, and I really had a battle with the jealously last week. (since I am open and honest here, I will bear my sin). When we were going to the Mayor’s house last week, I came to find out the new man that manly man just hired to work under him lives on the same street as the Mayor. So the VERY HUMAN SIDE of me, got upset, it was not pretty, there were a few tears. How could a man who makes less, and work under my husband have such a nicer house than me. (see told you it was ugly). Well as soon as the ugliness came out, I knew I was wrong. I knew I was blessed, and I knew the Lord is taking care of everything. I did confess, and I am fine now. But like I said it is my weak area right now, so I have to keep in the word and keep communication open for God to lead me (and hit me over the head a time or two).
For some reason the Lord has really lit a fire in my belly in studying Great Revival preachers. I have been reading, “George Whitefield, God’s Anointed Servant in the Great Revival of the Eighteenth Century.” Let me tell you if that title makes your eyes roll over, it would mine to about 6 months ago, but like I said the Lord has lit a fire in me to read them. And can I tell you how awesome it has been. I also ordered the first two books of John Piper’s Swan series also, the first book details lives of Augustine, Luther, and Calvin. I have been blown over and humbled reading about these great men of God. One thing that sticks out in my mind right now is how unworthy they felt, and how they battled insecurities. I can relate to that one. I am sure I will be talking more about the books as I finish them, I am half way done with George Whitefield.
Also I may be posting another theology question, and this one manly man and I agree to disagree on. So it will be interesting your take on it, I will try to get it up by tomorrow.
Yesterday, it was cold and rainy. My youngest son was bored out of his mind. So what did I do, give him my digital camera to take pictures of anything his wanted. Well because I am open and honest in this blog, I have to just say be careful of a 8 year old with a camera. He will catch you doing what you do most…. (yep that would be me in my normal spot of looking in the refrigerator, either finding something to eat or trying to figure out what to feed the natives). There, hows that for vulnerability!!
Now some other pictures that my 8 year old took, how come it was only me he took in an unflattering position!
Can you say I’m a cool dude…
