My Baptism

So here lately I have been thinking about my baptism. I thought I would share with all my sisters how thankful I am that God chose me to be one of his children. This September will be my 5th year since I started my walk with God. See my sister and I were living on our own when I was 15 and she was 18 years old. We both worked at this restaurant called Zydeco's New Orleans Grill next door to where we lived. So being that young and not having any one around to tell us what to do we pretty much done whatever we wanted to do. Well also working at this restaurant were two sisters in the faith. They would say things and I just totally blew them off. I didn't want to hear what they had to say. I was having fun, or so I thought. We worked together for about 3 years before I finally came to church. I first stepped into the church January of 2004. I went for a couple months and then stop. I started to realize that there was more to this life than what I had, and it scared me. I still continued to hang out with the sisters, so I didn't leave totally. August of 2004 my sister, a friend of hers, and I took a trip to Florida. Well while we were down there a hurricane hit. We had know it was coming but it was on the other side of Florida. Well lets just say the hurricane changed direction and came straight across land. We were on the 20th floor and I remember waking up to water pouring in the windows and sitting in a chair swaying back in forth. So as soon as I got back home I started going back to church. August 29 this sister and her family and I went out to eat after church. As we sat there talking about things I told her I wanted to be baptized. We called Bro. Jerry and he talked to me about it. He asked me if I was sure about it, and I all I could say was I have never been more sure about anything. So the following Wednesday night before church I was baptized. The following Sunday we had the Lord's supper and I have been ever so thankful since then. God has been so good to me. He gave me a good husband, three very handsome boys, great in-laws, and a wonderful family in Christ. So the thought came on my mind what have I done for God? Do I make God happy? I try, I know there are things that I need to work on. And so I ask for prayer, that I would be a person that is pleasing to God. That my eyes and ears would be open. And that I would be willing to do any and everything that the Lord puts before me. That I would be in subjection to my husband as God wants. Not that I am horrible, but this is something I do struggle with. I am a very strong willed person, and I need not to be so much. But I know with God's help I can do anything.

So Much, But So Little..

Sorry I haven't been on here much lately. I have been so busy around here with work and trying to keep up with the house work. I feel like I have been going non-stop, but not a lot talk about. We got a new manager at work the end of January and she has been scheduling me a lot. Which is good I don't want to complain, but it's a lot of evening time and I don't get to see the two oldest boys or my husband very much. But on the same note there looks to be a FEC (front end coordinator) position coming available and she pulled me aside this past Saturday and said that if everything goes as plan that she wants me to take that position. Which is what I have been wanting to do, but only if it is GOD's will. So if you think about it please say a prayer about it. As far as Noah goes, he is still in diapers. He will go and sit on his potty, but he never does anything. But I am just taking it slow with him. When he is ready he'll go. You see Noah doesn't much talk. We put him in speech therapy this past November. He is doing so much better, but still not saying much. One thing they work on with him is signing. So he does do some signing and say a few words. But as you see his communication isn't all that great. So that's why I say when he's ready he'll go. Isaac and Jonah have finished up their basketball games. They both played really well and learned a lot. Isaac is going to play baseball this spring, so we are getting ready for that. Jonah decided that he didn't want to play any sports this spring. Which is fine by us. I think after he watches Isaac play he'll change is mind next year. They both get their report cards Friday. So I am excited to see how they have done these nine weeks. Isaac has moved up in math and reading both since his last report card. And Jonah is just a smart little thing, sometimes too smart for his own good. Jimmy is now in his baseball season. He coaches 7th - 8th grade baseball. They had try-outs last week, so now they have started their practices. His first game is April 7. This is his second year coaching, so I hope they have a good season. Wow as I sit here writing I guess I do have a lot going on.... So I will stop now before I write a book. I love you all and I will try not to take so long before my next post. Oh by the way Jimmy's heart has been messing with him lately. It will beat then wait a second or two then beat two beats real fast. So if he comes to your mind I ask that you might remember him in your prayers.
