Silly Oklahoma Weather!

So we had nearly 80 degrees the other day, now today is getting much colder and it looks like we will get a decent amount of snow starting tomorrow afternoon/evening! Oh well, like they say in Oklahoma, "If you don't like the weather, just give it a minute...it'll change!" Tomorrow afternoon Kiddo and I are traveling to pick up my niece (Angel) and bring her back for the weekend. I'm sure that I will have lots of photos to post next week, but I figured I wouldn't get a chance to blog for the rest of the weekend so I'm doing it today! (By the way, if you wouldn't mind, I covet your prayers for traveling mercies as we go out tomorrow and return tomorrow night...I do not like driving in bad weather and it looks like the spring snowstorm will be about as big a mess as it gets. I want to get us all home safely! Thank you in advance!)

Well, on a totally unrelated note: I asked Hubby the other day to download and install some free learning games from a site I belong to. (It is an educational site that has been great for printouts for Kiddo to work on. :o) Actually I didn't ASK him the other day, I asked him last month...he just finally got around to answering the e-mail I sent him with the link! So, anyway, he put the games on the pc and Kiddo likes to say to me, "Mom, can I go work on my math on the computer? With those games? Because they are helping me to learn it better..." Too funny! I love that he's having a great time with these games WHILE he is learning...and it is SO funny to hear him, moan, groan, gasp and talk to the characters! I LOVE it! He just cracks me up! :o)

I don't have much to post today and I need to get my stuff packed up for NOVO in an hour or so, so I will leave you for now. However, know that I think of and pray for you all often - and I hope that you all have a great weekend! Stay warm (or cool! :o) and I'll post again when all calms down a bit. (And I plan to have several pics of Kiddo and Angel. She is so photogenic and they have so much fun together! I just can't WAIT to get her back here! Besides, she LOVES veggies and I will have a great excuse to make HER favorite (and mine...) veggie - BROCCOLI! Woo-hoo! :o)

With love and prayers for you to be greatly blessed!

(I really need to learn how to do a signature...Traci? Can you help? It surely can't be TOO hard...I see them everywhere, and if they were hard I don't think I would!)

I've been away too and am doing some much needed catching up on reading and commenting.

We're watching basketball. Hoping the OU girls will win. They're playing well right now.

I do hope you didn't get caught in any of the bad weather Fri. and Sat. and made it home safely.

I'll be looking forward to seeing pictures.

On the Brink of More Change...

I can feel it. I am on the cusp of something new. Something different. Something beautiful. I still have no idea what God might be up to - and I am truly okay with that at the moment. I have completed another round of Freedom in Christ. God spoke to me in so many ways...and He continues to do so. I feel so very valued and treasured by my Father. I am in relationship with Him in ways that I always wanted - yet never really felt were achievable. As I have put forth the effort to come to Him more consistently and with a growing desire to go deeper, He has been unendingly gracious and faithful. So as I fall on my face, He gently leans in and scoops me up. The panic and anxiety that once ruled my life are far less, and the calm amidst the  chaos has grown exponentially. I know where to go when it begins to grow again...and it does. Sometimes. Yet God is always ready when I call on Him...and that in and of itself are a learning curve for me. I've learned that others are not constant. Sh...

I Have Returned to the Land of the Living...

I promise that I'm around and making it here! It's been pretty crazy what with starting school and becoming a leader in our homeschool support group. (In my defense, I didn't realize that was what I was doing. I thought I was going to coordinate the holiday parties...turns out when you only have one active officer, said officer reserves the right to make you a leader in that group. Hmm. The things you learn. :) School is going okay...or should I be more specific? Social studies, Language Arts and Science are going okay...mathematics? Not so great. We have determined that Hooked on Math is NOT a good match for my child. He gets SO frustrated he winds up in tears within seconds of the MENTION of "Hooked on Math". (While I must admit that a portion of this is due to his processing issues and I want him to learn to be more flexible, I NEVER want him to be THIS stressed out. Therefore we are searching for a new math program/curriculum. I am very interested in Math-U-Se...

Keeping My Eyes Fixed In the Storms of Life

On September 20th, my father-in-law collapsed at home. My mother-in-law called 9-1-1 and emergency crews arrived within a few minutes. During that time, he stopped breathing and had no heartbeat. Emergency crews were able to revive him, and he was transported to a local heart hospital. The next two weeks were nothing short of torturous. In order to stop potential brain damage, he underwent a procedure that chilled his core body temperature almost 10 degrees and then after 24 hours, warmed him to normal body temp. Doctors were unsure if he would awake. However, after 12 days on the ventilator, when it was removed, it was like someone flipped a switch. He simply woke up. Even the doctors were amazed. Still groggy from the medications used during that time, he remembers nothing from that time, until about 5 days later, shortly before he had his pacemaker installed. Twenty-two days after his "cardiac event", he was released from the hospital. Still quite weak, he continues to g...
