FOR TODAY (February 9, 2009)…

Outside My Window…Sunshine Everywhere..Snow melting and and beautiful temps

I am thinking…I am so close ti finishing packing the clothes all up!!!!

I am thankful for…God’s provision…when we need something the most he provides it through the most amazing ways!!

From the learning rooms…NOTHING until I can see the kitchen table again…it’s going to be a LONG couple of weeks!

From the kitchen.. Roast..A BIG roast with potatoes and such…No more baking until after the move…Tornado keeps begging for cookies!

I am wearing.Jeans..a flowered turtle neck. a red sweater socks and sneaks!

I am creating..a House full of boxes!!!!

I am going…no where til Wednesday…maybe to the doc of the kiddos aren’t showing signs of improving in the next two days

I am reading..On the banks of Plumb creek and the Bible…..

I am hoping..Packing will go by quickly now since I have the biggest task atckled
I am hearing..the hum of the computer

Around the house Packing cleaning…Packing …no laundry..no dishes…Packing….Sorting and did I mention packing!

One of my favorite things.A new discovery…Tostito’s with a hint of Lime…My word are they addicting!

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week…PACKING!!! That’s all i do is live and breathe packing…I am going to start having nightmares about cardboard boxes…Packing tape and scissors!

A picture I am sharing with you….

Do you see it?..Yes three but there is something more..look closely! Let me know what you think it is…I’ll tell you later tonight!

READY TO HIT THE GROUND RUNNING!

Yes it is another week but to be exact it’s Hubby’s last week at his secular Job…then it’s two weeks of non-stop packing and prepping and it’s on to a life we are so excited to start…what a joy to actually have the chance to do what God has called BOTH of us to do!!!!! It’s so funny but most people don’t realize the wife needs to be called as well. She’s not just along for the ride.She is an active Part of her husband’s ministry!!! One of the biggest things I learned while Hubby was at seminary was that too many times pastors wives have the his job my job mentality…..there is one job and that is what God has called you both to do! Knowing what I know now I still wouldn’t trade my Bible college degree for ANYTHING in the world!….except for maybe my husband and kids! It was the most realistic view of ministry….not all roses but not all thorns either…There are no rose colored glasses here….I have served in enough other ministries to realize that WE are ALL sinners..Pastors and their wives included…..I am also wise enough to realize that eve the most seasoned pastors don’t have it all figured out and that my husband and I don’t either..nor will we ever! In all that is about to change my biggest goal is this..TO HAVE A LEARNING ATTITUDE! In every way I need to be will to grow and learn…..if I don’t I become useless to God. I also can learn lots of things but if I am not willing to apply what I have learned then I also am useless to God. A lot of people tend to put a lot of pressure on pastor’s wives telling them they have to carry the brunt of a lot of things especially with the kids but my husband has a unique take on this..He believes that if he doesn’t actively participate in the taking control of our children he does not have his home under control and therefore is disqualified from being a pastor….We are a team….we do everything together and That IS the way God intended it for both pastor’s families and non-pastor’s families alike! w2ell I never intended to take so long but I guess I need to get my thoughts out….Working through the process can be overwhelming..Well i guess I shall see you all sometime tomorrow!
