  • Jeremiah 31:17"O Sovereign LORD! You have made the heavens and earth by your great power. Nothing is too hard for you!


    Nothing is too hard for you!  Lord, you are all powerful, the Creator.  And you are in control.  I give you all my worries large and small.  Worries for the child inside me, worries for the child in Foster care.  Worries for the children upstairs in their bedroom.  You can protect them and keep them safe.  Thank you. 


    I ask you to go with us today, and help us to get what needs to be done done before the caseworker comes early this morning.


    It may not be much because apparently Rob has decided to sleep in.  Please, God wake him soon, and help us to get moving.  And don't let me get grumpy or stressed.  Let me be slow to speak and slow to anger.  TIA


    I lift up the person I aimed with last night.  I ask Lord that you would give her the courage to seek help, the courage to make changes in her life.  She needs some big time hugs today.  Please give her those.  And let her find the strength to bring you a Sacrifice of praise.


    Thank you Lord for this new day.  I love you.


    The kids were sooooooo good last night, I let them stay up a bit.  They never did get whiney or fussy?  Could anybody tell me what you did with my kids? (Lol)  Of course we had two night interruptions.  But oh well, this too we shall survive. 


    There are no worries of drought around here.  Its been pouring cats and dogs for 2 days.  We're gonna float away soon. Oh well makes the grass green I guess. 


    The floor is totally gone from the lean-to.  And my little brothers came over and helped haul a bunch of it out.  So about an hour or more, and Rob will have the rest out, and we can begin leveling the floor in preperation for putting concrete down.  I'm so frustrated my camera isn't working.  Because you guys would be appalled at the mess we're making. LOL 


    The wood floor had been sitting on dirt, and much of it crumbled when we started taking it apart.  We will be putting concrete down.  Dividers and then we will have 2 more bedrooms and a nice big laundry room.  Previously it just stored junk.  Rob got the first week of September off, so he'll be pushing forward then.  I hope we can get it done quickly.  We are gonna need that space soonest.
