Family Day at New Orleans Super Cross 2009!

The wait was well worth it! Our family has been planning for months to go to New Orleans to the AMA Supercross. We went with the Brady's and had a ball. We met up with the Brady's in Satsuma and they took the boys while we took the other two and headed to New Orleans. We got there around 1:30 or so. It was crazy....the parking was insane, but we made it in. We got to see the practice runs and ran into a lot of people we know. Scott knows a lot of people in that arena.....every time I turned around he was saying hello and shaking a hand. I kinda got mad at him because he wouldn't ask anybody if they would take our crew to see the riders. He said that was cheezy....well in a way I agree, but it was for the kids, not us. Anyway, he did luck up and got 3 tickets to the pit, but all the racers were in the riggs getting ready for the big event. They did get pictures of the bikes. My kids were happy with that. :) We really had a good time. Great day as a family! We didn't get home until after midnight and into bed after 1am, but we were up and ready to assemble with the Body. Wouldn't miss that, not for all the entertainment in the world. We did honor one of the Sabbath rules and rested after we fellowshipped. :) That nap was good!! All the kids slept too. I must say this weekend was GREAT!! Great time with the family, Great memories.

Substitute Teaching

Well I subbed today. I haven't done it in so long. I must say I had a lot of fun. As a little girl I would love to play "school" with my friends. I grew up thinking I would some day be a teacher. Well that didn't happen!! :) I did get to actually teach today. I told my husband I actually understood what I was teachingl. He laughed at that.....long story!! So all in all it was a good day. I love when He uses everyday life to show us life lessons. If we have eyes to see and ears to hear He is faithful to teach. Todays lesson for me was how to pray without ceasing. As I was teaching the kids their lesson, I was praying of and on. I was thanking God for instruction. I was thanking Him for His Word that instructs us each and every day. I was thanking Him for the fires that I went through to become teachable!! :) I was thanking Him for His mercies. I was thanking Him for the understanding He gives when you ask, seek and draw near to Him. Well...I am home now and I now have my second (really first) job to tend to so I need to get off here. Until tomorrow!

Thankful for today

A friend of mine made a statment this week about TODAY and that we should live it and not expect tomorrow, because it doesn't belong to us. God say's we aren't promised tomorrow. Well with all this stuff going on in our nation there is a lot of emotions. Anger, frustration, fear, and awareness to name a few. We must pray during this time and as we wait on what God would have us do we need to worship, serve and not faint. This is the time to allow our faith to grow and where we depend on God for all things. Where we aren't anxious but stay in a posture of prayer and thanksgiving. It isn't time to be me and God, but God and us. We must connect with the Body and live it....live what He say's and help one another. He is preparing His Bride and if you are apart of that then you will cooperate with His guidance no matter where it takes you. It isn't about being happy, but living for the Truth. That is the Rock we stand on. Thank goodness for the Word and the Truth that is revealed to us. Without it we would be toss back and forth with every thing that comes down the pike. Just a thought of mine. :)
