Tuesday tidbits...

Jason has his last day of school tonight!!! Oh yeah, it's my birthday!!! Oh yeah... he can cut grass!!! Just kidding but I am super excited to have him at home for a change, so are the girls!! Things have been a bit crazy this year. No more typing up papers until fall! Yippee!! I am also counting down until school gets out! 16 more days you know and 3 of those are half days! I can do it, I can do it! 4th grade has been a rather challenging year for Eve and I! She has amazing teachers that challenge them to the fullest and I am so thankful for all the hard work and effort that they have taken with those students. BUT...she has had 4 to 5 tests a week, homework in at least 2 subjects Monday through Thursday and 5 projects this year!!! Whew.... all I can do to keep up with it all. We study going down the road, we study at the table, we study getting ready, we study on the couch, we study in our sleep!!!!!!!! Between typing Jason's outlines, research papers, and Eve's tests, homework and projects you better believe that this Mama is smarter than a 5th grader now!!! Geez....

On another note...I was thinking earlier how random I am. I really am. I am not the ordinary mother/wife/person. Let me feel you in on the scoop on my daily dos;

I don't ever go to the grocery store. You can say I have a shopping assistant. Since Jason works in grocery stores for Pepsi, I give him lists and have him pick up what I need. Almost every morning I call him on the way to work and add to it. "Get milk, toothpaste, toilet paper, apples, etc". Isn't that nice?! I should be famous!
We eat supper at 3:45 every day. We have to. With Jason swinging by the house with just enough time to change and scarf down dinner, and Eve going to gymnastics everyday we have to eat early.
I tell Jasy that if she doesn't let me wash her blankie that it will grow legs and walk away. I am bad aren't I?!
I call the students at school by other kids names all the time. It's really hard to remember every child's name in the school!! I just tell them it's BC I am old and senile and that I can't help it. So most of the time I just call them "girlfriend" or "cutie".
I don't set my alarm clock myself. I let Jason do it BC setting my alarm clock depresses me! It's better to be "surprised" every morning when it goes off.
I'm always getting odd and end jobs to help pay our expenses. One time I assembled Angel magnets at home, I sold vacuum cleaners, I sold Party Lite candles, I instructed Kickboxing at a gym, I set up appointments for an Insurance company, and now my latest, I am posting ads for a local company who sells items for companies or individuals. They mainly sell for businesses that go out of business, or for people who are moving or cleaning out their garage who need to get rid of things. I found it online and it turns out that their daughter goes to Upstate Gymnastics with Eve and Jasy! I have been praying for God to show me something to help out) :) I havent' sold anything yet, but I just started last week. Aren't my jobs so random!? Here's their website-http://www.movethatstuffsc.com/ If you need some chandeliers, latterns, doors, desks, nursery furniture, pictures, microwaves, sinks, washers, wall art, chairs, lunchroom trays, etc-I might be your girl! :) Just saying... Who knows... oneday I might be delivering pizza to homes, lol.

Okay, that's enough for now. I just wanted to share some tidbits of why I think that I am so random!! I need my own show! lol.

How to become a Christian

You are not here by accident. Jesus loves you, and He wants you to have a personal relationship with Him. There is just one thing that separates you from God. That one thing is sin. People tend to divide themselves into groups-good people and bad people. But God say that every person that has ever lived is a sinner, and any sin separates us from God. That includes you and me.

"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23

According to man's rules, people should be punished or rewarded according to how good they are, and it might be hard for you to understand how Jesus could love you when other people don't seem to. But I have great news for you! Jesus DOES love you! More than you can ever imagine! And there's nothing you can do to make him stop!Are you thinking that you should make things right in your life before you come to Jesus? Many people feel that way, but that's not what God says!"God demonstrates His own love for us in this:

While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

For you to come to God you have to get rid of your sin problem. But God says that you can't make yourself right with God by being a better person. God wants to save you just because he loves you!

"He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy." Titus 3:5

It's God's grace that allows you to come to Him-not your efforts to "clean up your life" or work your way to Heaven. You can't earn it. It's a free gift.

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8-9

For you to come to God, your sin must be paid for. God's gift to you is His son, Jesus, who paid the debt for you.

"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23

Jesus paid the price for your sin and mine by giving His life on the cross. God brought Jesus back from the dead and paved the way for you to have a personal relationship with Him through Jesus. All that's left your you to do is to accept the gift that Jesus is holding our for you right now."If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.

" Romans 10:9-10God says that if you believe in His son, Jesus , you can live forever with Him in glory.

"For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16

Are you ready to accept the gift of eternal life that Jesus is offering you right now? If it is your sincere desire to ask Jesus to come into your heart as your personal Lord and Savior, then talk to God from your heart:

Here's a Suggested Prayer:

Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and I do not deserve eternal life. But, I believe you died and rose from the grave to purchase a place in Heaven for me. Jesus, come into my life, take control of my life, forgive my sins and save me. I am now placing my trust in You alone for my salvation and I accept your free give of eternal life."If you have trust Jesus as your Lord and Savior, please let us know. I want to rejoice in what God has done in your life and help you to grow spiritually. If you have questions or concerns, please let me know, I would like to help you understand the love that Jesus is offering you for free, no matter who or where you are. I would like to help you connect with a church in your home community, or point you to the wonderful church I love to call my home.

May God bless your new life with Him!

Welcome to my blog!

Welcome to my blog. I am very new to this whole blog thing, so bear with me. I was inspired by a friend of mine to create a blog. She has touched me in so many ways with her heart warming posts and I know she has touched many others as well. I hope that I can touch others as she has touched me.

I am starting this blog with the intentions of posting what God is doing in our little family. We let him take the wheel of our life and we are enjoying the ride. We don't know where he is going to take our family, but we are sure thrilled to be on it.

Now...let the blogging begin!
