Update

Ok let's see. I had a crazy semester at school and totally forgot about my blog...I'm so sorry. Let's update, church had a big blow out,a few left,I led the pack until I took it to Christ and a humbling peace came over me. The pastor and I talked and all was well. I went to service with an open mind and heart and have been loving evry second of it ever since. I will be VBS director for 2010 and can't stop planning! If only one thing came out of the whole ordeal it was that I learned a lesson out of it. I learned to take it to Christ and not only that , cause I knew to do that, but to leave it there and not question what He comes back with! I'm on Christmas break and i am taking on the venture of organizing my house. I have a 4 bedroom 2 bath mobile home and 3 girls....yeah. So i moved the play room into my junk room and moved my junk room into the play room cause my internet modem kept getting unplugged and when it was installed that was the only room it could be put in so~Let's do it this way...I'll make a to do list-and you can give me tips on how to do it or what i should change. Here we go! 1.Touch up paint in whole house (ugh scuff marks) 2.Completley paint the play room (junk room at the time I repainted the house so it got skipped) 3.Organize my "craft" room (formally known as the junk room,well will be) 4.Clean out all the hidy holes in the kitchen cabinets (LOL you know you have them too!) 5.Go through the girls's clothes and eliminate! (Donate,sell,embelish,hang) 6.Typical random cleaning (shampooing carpets all that good stuff) So that's my Vaca plans...how about you? Do you have any tips for me as to how to do all this with 3 little ones attacking me? Please do tell! Until then I'll repeat in my head "I can do all things through Christ who strenghtens me!"

Don't forget...

Please don't forget to visit www.carepages.com/jessicaboone or click on the link to your right. She is 15 and had a horrible skiing accident while on a church youth outing. You can read all about it on the page. Her parents are the example of Christians that we all need to see everyday. Please see the site and leave some encouraging words for them. They just brought her home and her mom is in the middle of making a decision of who to hire to help take care of Jess now that she is home. She has been in and out of a coma for the last few months but has shown God's work of miricles every day. Please pray for this family. Thank you all.cv

I agree...

I agree and have come to the conclusion that truth and prayer are the way to go. I do feel like God is telling me to stay at the church and in my class so with Him beside me it should go well...lol. I hope. Your not the only one who has given me the same advice, in this case the majority is right. Thank you for your help this will help me go into this with the clarity and confidence I need. cv

Genesis Chapter 2

VS. 4 History of heaven & earth... VS. 5 No man to till the earth... Q: Was Gen. 1:27 male & female of heaven & creatures of earth? VS. 17 God told adam about tree... Some of these verses are not questions but meerly reference for the upcoming chapter. I will try to post Chapt. 3 this afternoon but as for now...I have some deep cleaning house work to do!!Kids if you want to keep it you better put it up!! LOL, cv

Let me add...

I don't want to sound like I'm defending myself but I feel like it's been a long road to break old habits and I don't want to be attached to them what so ever. Let me throw this out there....My husband doesn't agree with our pastor and neithier does most in the church. No one is brave enough to stand up and eithier confront him or vote him out. You have to understand the situation surrounding this man. He's just a bad example and not welcome any longer, let's put it that way. OK, here's my question...How do I explain or tell him that I don't want to leave my sunday school class to attend his new young couples class and two...how do I get him to back off of the fact that my husband is not coming back to church.My hubby has every intention to attend after this pastor is gone but not before. You also have to understand that my hubby is not the only one who has quit..the church is dropping like flies!!! i feel like I'm the only one getting picked on about my hubby not coming. How do I tell him to back off and that I am not interested in joining his class. I love my class and can barely sit through service let alone a one on one with him. I'm so confused!!!HELP!!!cv

Let me clarify...

I'll try to paraphrase my lengthy reply to a comment on drinking. I didn't note that it has been years since I have been drunk and even then it was a maybe once a month going to a party with friends thing. Not trying to justify, just clarifying that I don't want anyone to think that I was drinking every night. I have been drunk, yes. I have repented, YES. It has been a long time since, YES. Once I figure out how to attach a word doc to a blog I will post my origonal reply to this comment. I thank you all for your concern and comments. I'm glad to know that there are kind hearted people out there. I was begining to wonder if there were any people like me who love the LORD and want to serve HIM but have a hard time keeping others negative opinions out of the way. Thank you, cv

In reply to a comment...

OK, I have messed this blog up. I wanted to post a reply to a comment and anyway please click on the link or title or whatever will take you to a word doc. that has my blog in it! I've tried copying and pasting but oh no not today! LOL, Thanks, cv OK, not gonna work. How do I add an attachment? Anyone familier with blogspot?

Thank you!!

I want to say thank you to the 2 ladies who have left me a comment of encouragement! I was about to give up on this whole blog thing, but my faith has been renewed. I have chosen to not tell anyone I personally know about my blog for fear that I will be quickly judged when I "step off my path". I am already a target at our church, well only by the semi-new pastor who thinks it's OK to preach against judging then judge my husband for not attending anymore! OK That's a whole nother blog! It just might be my next one....How do I deal with a hypocritical pastor? Anyway, My point is I'm no saint, I have a few beers on the occasional weekend (when I can find a baby sitter!) and I smoke cigarettes like everyone else in my "in-law" family. I don't believe in God less because of these things I just get caught up in being 25 and never having a chance to be a little goofy. I started having my girls when I was 19 and have had responsibility ever since. Yes, I knew how I got pregnant but I was told it would be hard for me to have kids so i was a bit shocked when I found out 1 month after the honey moon that I was! We both wanted kids and thought that we had better start now since it was going to take a year or so like I was told. So no I wasn't ready for kids that soon but that's what I got and I thank God for it. We've grown up allot since then and the responsibility of the girls has kept us out of a lot of trouble I'm sure. But I don't think I should be judged for cutting loose every now and then. I'm also not saying I get drunk every time too! I have had one to many a few time sure but not usually. Normally it's one or two by the lake and a peaceful night without the chaos. Sorry it feels like I have to defend myself because I've been fighting my pastor so much lately. I'm not the only one in the church either. Like I said, another time. I'm trying to get the new study notes posted so be looking for Gen. Chapter 2! Keep up the comments! Thank you for being a non judgmental crowd! You are all 1awesomelife. God bless, CV

Genesis Chapter 1

I love my church Sunday school class! We pick a book of the Bible, read a few verses, the discuss them like we're truckers in a coffee shop! We gather everyones opinion on the subject, questions & fears, then take it all in, research it that following week & comeback together to agree that even though we think of it differently we all agree that it's the written Word and that settles it. A person can read a lot into a verse and I learn from different points of view. I see new ways of looking at things and relize that none of that matters! I know it sounds crazy but follow me on this. I will post questionable verses, give my opinion and the opinion of the others in my class, then I want you to come up with your own feelings. The answers are a general concensus of the class,I'm not saying they're right!Where do you feel lead to go with this? How does the Lord speak to you about this? Let me know in a comment and invite your friends to join in on the fun! Let's begin.... Genesis Chapter 1 vs.1 God created the heaven and the earth... Q:There is no mention of the other planets. A:Other planets are basicaly stars right?...We'll they are the heavens (notice it's plural,as in more than one) vs.14 Lights in the firmament... vs.17 Set stars in firmament... Q:Heaven or firmament? What's the difference between the two? (this heaven is singular,as in only one) Why the difference in plural and singular heaven? Do any of these labels contain the streets of gold we are told about? Where is that heaven? A:I don't have and answer to this one. vs.20 created animals (creatures)... Q:Insert the dinosaurs question. Were they included in this? A:I don't have an answer to this one. vs.26 Let us make them in our own image... Q:Who is us & our? A:Angels vs.27 Male & female created He them... Q:Is this Adam & Eve because we haven't gotten to them yet? A:I don't have an answer to this one. Please leave you comments so we can all grow in Christ. Don't forget what I was once told by a wise ole brother..."Don't let the little things stop you from seeing the big picture!" The devil uses the Bible against us when he can and clouding our judgement and questioning things of Christ is number one on his list. Don't let him use the Word of God to disinterest you. If something is important...it will be in black and white!!! God is not a confusing God, when it's of the utmost importance he will reveal it to us in the time He chooses and not a second before! 1awesomelife...Moses. Who is the 1awesomelife you think of in the Bible? How can you share them with others? CV P.S> I apologized to hubby and alll is well with my soul.

Ephesians 5:22 ....HUSBANDS

UGH! Please tell me that I'm not the only one who thinks her husband is the love of her life....but could ring his neck at the same time!!! I have a routine on his pay days, spend all morning getting ready to run errands - and watching my 2 soaps - (because I try <---KEY WORD to only go out when I have too, and I try to keep it at 2ce a month, when it's only me and the girls), then I purposely go to the next town over to the bank in the afternoon so that 2ce a month I can get my favorite Taco Burger and stop at the best McDonalds in the county to get a decent Vanilla Iced Coffee! See my WONDERFUL hubby works nights so he hardly ever go with me to run errands on pay day. NOT TODAY!!!!! Oh no! Today it's RUSH RUSH RUSH! My food place was closed, cause it was so darned early, and it was morning shift at McD's, and the high schooler working the window don't know how to make an Iced coffee! I could go on and on about how my day has been all kinds of messed up but I won't. I'm going to take a minute to look up a verse in my KJV Bible that will calm me and promote loving my hubby....OK, Ephesians 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. This is one of my favorite verses. Non belivers try to use it as fire against belivers and belivers use it and the surrounding verses to explain why they respect their husbands enough to not be running around all over town without them!! I wouldn't get mad at the Lord like I did my hubby this morning! I'm suposed to love hubby like Christ so I'd better go repent, and make up cause if I look at it that way....Let's put it this way; If I had acted toward Christ like I did hubby this morning...I'd be begging for forgivness. The 1awesomelife I want to honor today...is The Apostle Paul. With out his awesome books of the Bible we would be lost souls. I have to say he is my favorite writer in the whole Bible. Do you know of 1awesomelife? How would you honor it? CV
