Please continue to pray 10-22-08 10:47am EST
Please continue to keep Kim and all of the family in your prayers. Also, remember Dr. Brown as she provides care for Kim.

Mark 10:27: But Jesus looked at them and said, "With men it is impossible but not with God; for with God all things are possible."

aletaI've wondered how things are going with Kim. She's in my prayers. 
bigdeborahpraying every day... 
teelduoyour whole family is in my prayers. May HE guide you all! 
shaftWe haven't ceased praying for Kim and your family. 
lindseyI'll keep praying. I'm not sure how to post a video. The only thing I know is that you can upload it to youtube or something like that and post the embeded link. Does that make any sense? 
zanneDefinitely praying!! 
gracie03Definitely praying constantly for Kim and for all of you! 
bluebonnetmomWe are praying here, too, and I have one pink fingernail (thanks to an idea from someone who posted earlier!) 
kennenWe pray for them every day...Rosenberg has been too!

jenmurffHow'd it go yesterday? 
amberaWhat a wonderful scripture. Continually thinking about and praying for your family. Will pray for the Dr.s too. Love ya'll. May God continue to strengthen ya'll daily. 
rhondalbollman"The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; Do not be discouraged." Deuteronomy 31:8 
jamieGreat verse! We pray daily for your family!

jenmurffI'll tell Emily. Thanks for letting me know. 
gracie03I missed you at church last night. I was guessing that you're with family. Let me know if you need anything at all. 
jenmurffIt was good. Always good to see Grandma and Granny. How was y'alls? Are you in Baytown this week? 
gracie03Thanks! She definitely has the new puppy smell. :)

Prayer Request 10-08-08 07:10am EST
Please keep my sister and her family in your prayers.
(35 older comments)
jenmurffHappy Birthday! Thanks for the bracelets for Abbey. Please, call me any time!! 
lindseyHappy Birthday? Well Happy Birthday! So sorry i didn't know! We'll miss you tomorrow. 
bravedaveThanks. 
nugglefriendcuzWE missed yall. Sorry, I didn't check pleo, the rest of the day. 
lindseyShe's doing well. The doctor said they were the healthiest sick kidneys he's ever seen. I was right.... we missed you :) Is there anything I can do to help you out on this end? 
mamamiaHappy Birthday! 
jansileeCan you email me Kim's address please? Thanks! 
jansileeThat would explain why I haven't heard from you!! I can't find your phone number anywhere. I have been trying hard to find it, but I have NO IDEA where I put it! 
kristihI saw ya'll too . . but Joel needed to leave pretty quickly after services. I looked around for you Sunday night but I guess I just missed you? Joel fell off a ladder at work about 3 weeks ago and we're still trying to figure out exactly what is hurt on him. He can't put any pressure on his left leg and his hip and knee hurt and the lower half of his leg is really swollen. He goes to the doctor again tomorrow to have more tests run. Tell Kim we're thinking of her and praying! 
jansileeI already got the info and deleted your comment. Thanks. I will call you tomorrow night. It's already late and I am sure you are exausted. I love our chats, but we are always on the phone for a while!! I'd rather call you a little earlier, but still after all kiddos are asleep! I am praying for you all! 
lindseyHaha... no he didn't. Turns out earlier that day, the middle brother stepped on mousey and killed him. We had to convince him a few days later that mousey was in fact, not dead. The interview went okay. God's will be done with it... it was in Aldine ISD which is a good 45 minutes away in clear traffic. God's will. 
lindseyAnd thanks... I think you're pretty awesome too! 
gracie03Of course! We'd love to have you! And please come, even if you can't find a babysitter. I'm sure we'll have plenty of people there to occupy the kids. I'm pretty sure there will be others there, too. It's really laid back, so please come either way! 
lindseyI taught them that Jesus ate strawberries but not blueberries. Bananas were his favorite but peaches would do. ;) No, we learned about Jesus blessing the children. Which I think is in line because I was trying to get across the phrase "Bring the kids to me." Ha... I paraphrase a bit. But she's pretty close! I'm just glad she remembered the bees and that I did it with her. Hopefully in 2 weeks she won't be traumatized by the idea of staying with me. :) 
jamieThought about you today! Love ya! 
gracie03Thanks for your encouragement, Jennifer! Can't wait to see y'all tonight! 
hillabillyYes, I'm trying to park where nobody else can ding the car. BTW, the picture of the kids below and thinking of them feeding the ducks "quacks" me up. :) :) :) 
seainmeThank you for all of your support and prayers, that means so much to me. I am just getting caught up on everyone. I am so sorry about your sister! That must be soooo devastating for her AND for you. How is she doing? Is she home, or still in the hospital? I guess she will be having chemo? Is that started yet? I will definitely keep her and you in my prayers that she will FULLY recover. I am soooo very sorry. 
mamamiaI'm not sure about her deadline ... probably the end of the school year.
I love you and I'm praying for you, Kim and your family. 
mamamiaThank you! That is so sweet of you. I know that she will very much appreciate it. 
gracie03We are SO glad y'all came! I just got the comment, so I will look for the game tonight and bring it to you! 
darleen21How are you doing? Hope you are having a good week! 
gracie03By the way, it was so cute - after everyone left on Friday, Jeremy couldn't stop talking about the kids. He had so much fun showing them around. :) We want to babysit one night so y'all can have a date night. :) 
amberaWe are praying for ya'll and thinking about you daily. I want you to all go around passing hugs from us! Love you! 
bradford_rebekahGreat suggestion. We will have to do try it.

James 10-01-08 11:43pm EST

I love to read the book of James. We read part of it in services tonight. I reread it when I got home tonight.

James 1
2) My Brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,
3) knowing the testing of your faith produces patience.
4) But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
5) If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
12) Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

These verses (especially verse 12) remind of the song
Home of the Soul

If for the prize we have striven,
after our labors are o’er
rest to our souls be given
on the eternal shore

Yes, a sweet rest is remaining
for the true children of God
Where there will be no complaining
Never a chast’ning rod

Soon, the bright homeland adorning
We shall behold the glad dawn
Lean on the Lord till the morning
Trust till the night is gone

Chorus:
Home of the soul, Beautiful home
There we shall rest, never to roam,
Free from all care, happy and bright
Jesus is there He is the Light!
Oft, in the storm lonely are we
Sighing for home, longing for Thee
Beautiful home of the ransomed beside the crystal sea.

We all endure trials and temptations. Let’s remember that these trials are temporary and we need to ask God for help. Our home in Heaven will be for an eternity.
darleen21Thanks so much for sharing this... I think I'll read it again tomorrow too.

Today went really well, I was so nervous and should sleep better tonight since it's over. 
teelduowonderful post! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! 
aletaI needed this reminder. Thanks! 
gracie03That's so funny that you posted this song. I posted this song a while back (I think it was after our last singing night). What a fantastic reminder (and what an uplifting service last night)! We have so much to be thankful for! 
melissakayeWonderful scripture, wonderful song & wonderful thoughts! :) 
teelduovery sweet 
lindseyHow cute! "Hey Dude" indeed! 
nugglefriendcuzGreat pic. Great thoughts! 
melissakayeI love how Blake is looking out over the top of his glasses & has his hands in his pockets! 
kennenThe pic is SO cute! 
aletaThey're so precious. I love the Dude 'tude. 
bluebonnetmomLovely! 
bluebonnetmomOh, sorry you are both feeling "yucky" ... that isn't any fun! 
jenmurffcute!!! 
gracie03I love that picture! :) We're in the young adult class that meets on the side of the auditorium with the little kid classrooms. We'd love to have y'all, if you'd like to try it! :) It's a fantastic class. It used to be the young singles class, but there are several married couples in there now (us, Collins, Santos, Bilberry). Rick is teaching. It's fantastic! 
bigdeborahLOVE that pic!! SO CUTE!! :) 
wiseThe picture is so precious. Blake with his hands in his pockets looks so grown. Abby with her pink sunglasses looks like Miss Hollywood. I like your James comments. 
jansileeKind of funny how they already have the appropriate male/female attitudes! She is just sitting there looking cute as a bug, while his glasses are down on his nose a little. He's definitely got the "cool dude" pose going on!! :) 
losteeyore^^^^^^ just what I was thinking they are SOOOO cute!!! 
gracie03Not using a book right now. It's all based right now on topics that members of the class are suggesting. It's great! 
amyclantonI work at Up In Tangles salon in Cypress and I too am looking forward to getting to know you. 
aletaI'm so sorry you've had a sick one. And...sorry about the snake image!!

Repeat several times: There's not a snake in my couch, There's not a snake in my couch... 
famous_amosHey Lindsey called and told me about your sister, your family is in our prayers! If there is anything I can do for you let me know. 
nick_katieCool Cute Kids!!

I've been tagged... 09-25-08 04:29pm EST
I’ve been tagged so here are eight facts about me. So here it goes.

1. I was born in Abilene.

2. I dated Cody for 4 ½ years before we were married. In November we will have been married for seven years.

3. I graduated from SFASU.

4. I taught fourth grade in Dayton for one year (BIG mistake), I then taught in Channelview. The first two years I taught first grade, then I was the reading specialist for two and half years, teaching kindergarten through third grade. (I quit in February of 2007 to move to Katy and be a SAHM).

5. I won the award for being the Rookie Teacher of the Year when I taught in Dayton.

6. I have two year old twins, Blake and Abigail. Their favorite phrase right now is “Mommy, what’s that"? It makes me nutty by the end of the day.

7. I just started doing craft fairs with my s-i-l. I am making hair bows, hair bow holders, purses, and my personal favorite is girl’s bracelets.

8. My favorite place to eat is Casa Ole’. I know how sad is that?

Okay, now you know 8 things about me. I now tag: Danielle, Melissa, Jansi, Lisa, Christy, Rebekah, Kristie and Lindsey.

bigdeborahI remember Payton's "what's that?" stage...except she said "wasssat?" :) hey, nothing wrong with Casa ole! :) better than most of the mexican food in KY and CA! 
jenmurffI've been meaning to ask you about those bracelets. Can you email me a pic of one - Abbey's birthday is coming up! 
teelduoVery kewl information on you! 
darleen21That's cool that you are doing craft fairs, I would love to get into that with my embroidery and quilting... it's time consuming I'm sure!

I'm trying to think if I've ever eaten at Casa Ole'... who knows. 
nugglefriendcuzJust rememeber the more questions they ask the smarter they will be. At least that is what I try to tell myself when I am about to go crazy from all the questions. 
gracie03Then we should hang out and agree up front we won't disappoint each other. ;) Seriously, though, we need to get together. I'd love to get to know y'all better! 
gracie03I just tagged you in a different way. :) 
adamandjessesdadI don't know you, I just stumbled in here. My wife taught 3 months in Dayton in the fall of 2002! It was at SFA Elementary. Big mistake.

I appreciate your use of "½" instead of "1/2"! 
adamandjessesdadOh, that's right, I remember! 
wiseI'll have to come visit. I have my machine and we will see tonight if I know how to hook it up correctly. The bed is covered with two suitcases and clothes now, I'll sleep later. I'm trying to figure out how cold it will be up in the mountains. 
wiseThanks for going with me today. I had a great time watching the kids play. Mrs. Bernice and Mrs. Janice really enjoyed the visit. 
bluebonnetmomWe are having our meeting with Heath Rogers start this Thursday! Do you have an email for the preacher there? The flyer came back -- new postal regulations didn't like how Steve folded it!! 
bluebonnetmomThat would be great! 
famous_amosI have learned a lot about you :) I love the casa ole' on highway 6, it is the best one I have ever been to. 
jansileeWell I personally love Casa Ole too, so you ccan call and I will meet you there, anytime! LOL! 
orangecrushHa she was right. I'm glad someone knew cuz I sure didn't lol. thanks! 
lindseyI did it! I'm pretty proud of myself too :) lol 
lindseyYes please! I'd love that. 
lindseyYou tell me which you'd prefer. You know I'd love to see the kids, but if you'd prefer a grownup meal that's fine too. 
bigdeborahawww...thanks!! It's 2 weeks from today :). I was just online trying to figure out if the kemah boardwalk inn was destroyed. I'm sure it's not open but I just want to know how bad the damage is. That's where we went after the wedding. We sat on the porch and watched the kids play in the fountain below :) 
famous_amosThat sounds great! Either one is fine with me. 
gracie03Thank you! :) We had a GREAT photographer. :) 
lindseyThanks... I went to Alief to see a few people and because I expected a friend to join me but of course at the last minute said friend flakes. Oh well, I did my part! I'm pretty free this week so I'll let you decide. I can pretty much go on a moment's notice :) 
jansileeHe started back last Thursday. It is nice to be able to get back into some sort of routine! 
nick_katieWe miss y'all too! And I miss Casa Ole.... YUM. I could just eat their green sauce and chips... haven't had anything similar to that up here. :)
