Blessed

Welcome back!
This weekend can be summed up in the title of this post….BLESSED. Yesterday without knowing I’d receive this card from the foot of a cross that the ladies of Proverbs 31 had set up at the conference I had written about the blessings I felt i had received throughout the weekend. Then, I went to the closing session and was told to pick up a card from the foot of the cross. On the card would be a verse and behind the verse in lighter print was a word for us. My word…..BLESSED.
Girls, tell me something I don’t already know! I am truly blessed. Not only from attending She Speaks this weekend, but in everything I am blessed. It’s hard to know what else to say right now, as my mind whizzes back and forth, I have so much information from She Speaks I want to use and apply, but for now…. I’m VBS director for the next 5 days so I must go get dressed, whiz myself and my 2 kiddos off to church and then rush to a dr.’s appt. to assure that baby #3 is doing what he’s suppose to be doing. He is due in exactly 3 weeks. So I leave you with the verse that was on the card…
“I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints and his incomparably great power for us who believe.”
Ephesians 1:18-19
A Sigh of Relief

I love it when I can breath a sigh of relief that all the bills are paid and we are not in the red. What a blessing! That was the case today and even though the stimulus $$ from the government came today, we had the money for the bills regardless. Thanks the Lord!
Today was a relaxing day. I did not do much work wise, but I enjoyed the time with my kids and went to see my mom and grandmother for a while, they watched the kids for me for a bit so I could go to the grocery store and now I am back home, but will soon head out to my son’s tee ball game and to a late dinner out with my family.
This weekend we are busy as usual with a cookout for my son’s preschool class to end up the school year tomorrow night and I am hosting a shower for my good friend April who is having a baby at the end of the month. Sunday will be a busy day, with the shower and church.
Hope everyone enjoyed this week of Mommyfest and will listen to my audio over there on “The Advantages of an Organized Life”.
