I openly admit I don't like change. I don't handle change well. I had to change computers this weekend. I love my DH! He made the change as painless as possible, transferring all my files, and programs that he could over. Normally I end up in tears trying to find and reload everything to my way. There are still some things on here I don't like, some I don't know how to fix and others, well I guess I am stuck with. I keep reminding me how thankful I am that I have a computer. How thankful I am to be on the Internet etc. I AM thankful, just ungrateful when it comes to change.
One of the things that wouldn't move correctly is my favorites. I have them on here, they are just in a file folder so I have to go find them and move them when I want them. Another thing that is bugging me is sound. I have all these neat bells and whistles for different things. Well.... I had! I will go back and see if I can find them.. once we get the jack issue fixed on the 'puter. It gives me an "information" message, "A jack has been unplugged"... which means no sound, then in a minute the little box again pops up with an "information" message "A jack has been plugged" .... off and on ALL day. Sound and no sound ALL day. Dh was going to call them today on it.
Church was awesome yesterday! We are reading Acts. Our "church" is not normal church, it is more of a fellowship and Bible study. We study one chapter of the Bible. We are able to agree and disagree and research and come back the next week with deeper information. We are all growing. We come from all different backgrounds and denominations and some that were unchurched until a few years ago. We have one "word geek" her name for herself. She loves taking the words of the Bible and going back to see what they really mean. It is wonderful, since I don't have a clue, nor the energy to look all these words up.
With the weather warming up most of the time, this weekend wasn't warm, we are thinking church play day. Our play days are fun. Kids look fwd to them, adults do too. It is more than anything a day of fellowship. Some times there are games, or swimming, but more it is just freedom to play and visit and enjoy each other. Older teens usually do paint ball.
)&&*(^*%&%$^*((!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My milker didn't work this morning! It sounds like the veins are stuck. I'm not sure why other than condensation in the hose allows moisture in to the veins and keeps them from dropping like they should. The good news is I have full calves! I have 4+ gallons in the frig so we won't go thirsty today. :) My DH "should" be able to fix it tonight. I guess I wasn't supposed to milk today. I am trying hard to not let it bother me.
Speaking of being bothered, ever notice how satan comes at you occasional with a big attack, but so often a bunch of little things? Each little think isn't a big deal. It is easy to handle and not loose your peace. But, when there are 50 little things all coming from different directions at once..... well it is hard to deflect all those darts and hang on to God's peace. I get busy deflecting and drop my shield and wham!! I loose my peace! It started Sat. around here. Lots of little things, weather had us inside, kids bickering, disobeying.... stuff they KNEW they would have consequences for. Trying to learn this new computer. Yesterday, was more of the same. Just like the milker this morning. Kids not getting dressed when ask. ..... yea sounds petty doesn't it? Maybe I am just whinny today. I started thinking about it yesterday though. I plan on spending some quite time with God and sorting it all out today. I really feel under attack! I do try to count it good when I am attacked. I know God must have something big in store for me to make satan upset enough to pay attention to me. I will weather the attacks and do God's work. I love the growing He is doing in me. I do see Him using me in some new ways. I just haven't been freed to share :) Satan really doesn't like it. Oh well to bad, so sad, just buzz off and go pick on someone your own size satan. I am part of the Body of Christ and WAY to big for you to mess with! I feel better just writing this :) I am not interested in what satan is offering. I don't care how it is dressed up and how he tries to mask the wonders of what Christ is offering. I choose Christ and tell satan to leave!
That said I guess I better go start my day. Today is a laundry day. The sun is shinning and today should be beautiful! My day is going to improve! I choose to make it! With God's help! I pray everyone else has a blessed day! Leave me a commit if you feel led too. Also pray that this attack stops soon. I am tired of it! I choose joy!
PS:
Nikki ask about Countryside. They do have a web site, but the few times I went there I was unimpressed. It was I would find the magazine some where. It isn't as good as it use to be, but still has some really money saving ideas to live a country life. |

I have a subscription to Countryside and love it!
Our homestudy is scheduled for sat. I can't even imagine what the pain and struglles are that you have with the nature of the trauma these kids go through and how you deal with it.
I know that God won't give me anything he and I togehter can't handle and I am leaning on that when we have our children. Ds and DD are looking forward to having new brother and sisters, they don't know how hard it will be either!
God's blessings your way,
Mama
