Prayers and Blessings!

The last few days have been days of blessings and prayers....there's just a LOT going on around here with a lot of change and growing pains in our family and our friends...it's so good, but it's such a reminder to trust the Lord, because the minute I fool myself into thinking I have one ounce of control I panic, but if I remember to trust in the Lord then it's very good. 

Proverbs 3:3-5

The Message (MSG)

 ^3-4 Don't lose your grip on Love and Loyalty.    Tie them around your neck; carve their initials on your heart.Earn a reputation for living well    in God's eyes and the eyes of the people.  ^5-12 Trust God from the bottom of your heart;    don't try to figure out everything on your own.Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;    he's the one who will keep you on track.Don't assume that you know it all.    Run to God! Run from evil!Your body will glow with health,    your very bones will vibrate with life!Honor God with everything you own;    give him the first and the best.Your barns will burst,    your wine vats will brim over.But don't, dear friend, resent God's discipline;    don't sulk under his loving correction.It's the child he loves that God corrects;    a father's delight is behind all this.

Prayers:

Lashae is getting married in 7 days!

Kole is away at a 2 wk camp and got hurt...had to go to hospital...quite minor, but I wasn't there and that makes a mom very anxious!

The Mckinnons, our friends, are in Uganda adopting their children and there are hurdles  that are frustrating.

The Buckners, our friends, are traveling far for National High School Rodeo finals...prayers for safety and a good rodeo.

Blessings:

Lashae is getting married in 7 days!   Our friends and family are amazing and spoiling her rotten.  We have so much help and contribution to their wedding it is amazing.  SUCH A BLESSING.

Kole got a full scholarship for this camp and it is good.  He is willing and able to step out of his comfort zone and do something "different", and unknown.  He got good care when he hurt himself.

The Mckinnons are enjoying their time with their kids and they are strong and focused and trusting the Lord.  

The farmers and people around here are working together and doing everything they can to take care of this hay for everyone the best they can...every tractor is running and people are just working wherever the need is at the moment.  It's so fun to watch these guys...they don't think twice about "sharing" or "time" it's just ...do what needs done, with what you have, for whoever needs it, until it is done.  BLESSING TO WATCH!!!

We were blessed AGAIN financially at a time when it was really really needed. God is soooo good, and just hears our every prayer and cry for help and He provides every time through His people and it is humbling and amazing.

Me and the girls were running "wedding errands" last night and stopped for dinner at our favorite place...and we were having the best time...probably last time before Lashae is Mrs. Bowen, and they lost our ticket so it took a bit longer than it should and they comped our meal.  We didn't even know it was taking long because we were just talking and enjoying each other's company so much...the manager came over and said, "Sorry this took so long, we lost your tkt and so dinner is on us"....whoa, what a blessing!!!  We had a good time and got it complimentary!!!
