Movies

In my previous post, you can see the trailer for "Fireproof", the latest movie by Sherwood Baptist, makers of "Facing the Giants" and "Flywheel", both of which we have recently watched. If "Fireproof" is anything like these two forerunners, then we are in for another powerful movie. These movies really do make you laugh, cry, and think about the way that you live and who you are living for. Come and see.

"Fireproof"

He careth for you

"A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps." Proverbs 16:9

Troy accepted the job offer in OH last week and will start his new job next Monday. The realtor came today, and our house will soon be up for sale. With so many changes going on in our life right now, it is unsettling at times. The "what if's?" start coming fast.

TRUST. That is what we are supposed to do. WALK BY FAITH. Sometimes those things seen really hard to do.

Then today while reading to Leora about Joseph in her Bible lesson, this verse appears: "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." He CARETH for you. He careth for YOU.

Thank you, Lord. I needed that reminder especially right now. You care for me.

Direction

OBT had a job interview this week for a job in OH. Please keep us in mind and pray that we will make the right decision should he get an offer. Thanks!

Beaming!

An e-mail that I received from my Medical Transcription instructor gave me great joy after stressing out over doing my best on my assignments along with everything else that needs to get done. Here is what she said:

Hi, Lepidoptera! I have your reports graded and the scores recorded online. Your scores were probably the best I’ve seen for the first time, so good for you! There were just a few minor things, but I’m sure those will be worked out in no time. I will get these mailed to you in the morning. Have a good week!

Go to the ant!

We have been listening to a Judy Roger's CD called "Teach Me While My Heart is Tender" just about every day since it arrived. If you are not familiar with her music, go to her website where you can listen to samples of the songs. If you have children, rush right over there and check it out now. We have been very pleased and are already learning some of the songs. Thank you, MT, for recommending this music to us!

Recent happenings

This week the LP actually took some interest in potty-training and went ALL BY HIMSELF!

Lepidoptera: That's great, son! That's really, really good. Mommy is so happy that you pee-peed in the potty all by yourself!

LP: It's amazing!

Yes, it really was, and we are still waiting for his next amazing performance.



Today we were cleaning the house and getting ready for company. Sarah's new chore has been sweeping this summer. Requirement: the kitchen floor under the table (where food is likely to be dropped on a regular basis). Today a new assignment - sweep the entire kitchen floor. As she sweeps, I busy myself with the changing of the bedsheets and hear Sarah and Leora's (who is unloading the dishwasher) discussion in the kitchen.

Sarah: Oh, I am worn out. I have worked so hard.

Leora: I am worn out too.

Lepidoptera arrives on the scene to admonish her dds that life is not so bad: Who do you think has swept all of the floors in the house in the past? Who is going to sweep most of the other floors in the house today, not one, but several, when you are finished sweeping?

Sarah: I didn't know that you worked so hard.

Hmmm, what did she think that I did all day?
