Lots of stuff

A Happy Birthday, Yellow Roses

Well, it really just seems like another day :o( My daughter turned 12 yesterday and I turn 34 today. Know what we did to celebrate? Had a garage sale. Bad timing! Dh is off on Monday so I will be making a special birthday breakfast for 12 yodd (the request is chocolate chip pancakes) and we are just going to pretend it is our birthdays then!

Church, South Dakota, USA

Life has been so busy in the last few weeks! A good kind of busy. School is going well (except for garage sale week) and we are enjoying our 2 new churches. That sounds weird. Two new churches? Well, my dh is still guest preaching, Hardin Bible Church (IFB) (about 1 hour & 45 minutes from here) on Sunday mornings. They do not have evening services right now due to the pastors health. We have been going to Bible Baptist Church on Sunday nights and Wednesday nights and LOVE it. We joined Bible Baptist Church last Sunday evening. My dh and the pastor have talked extensively in the last month. Basically, no matter where the Lord leads my husband and I (possibly this first church I mentioned), then Bible Baptist Church will be our sending church. It is all very exciting! The Lord is opening doors and gently showing us through :o)

Hardin Bible wants dh to candidate there and he is prayerfully considering it. This of course would have to involve a move. It would be difficult to pastor a church that far away! We have looked into housing and a job transfer and general relocating stuff. Yes, the housing market is down and we may have trouble selling our house, BUT, if the Lord wants us up there, it will sell and I am not worried about it at all.

I just started reading in 1 John today. I am so loving my Bible Reading Plan. It is reading through the New Testament in 90 days. But it is not straight though...you skip around a bit. You may read a gospel and 2 or three epistles, etc... I LOVE it! It is just keeping it so fresh for me. I am pretty sure that I am not going to be done in 90 days. I am taking my time and not feeling "stressed" about not being on the "right" day. Also, I have the Henry Morris Defender's Study Bible and I enjoy reading his commentary, keeping in mind that it is a man's commentary and not God's Word itself. We need to be careful of not placing to high a value on man's words. I have found 2 or 3 instances where he "corrects" the Bible. Other than that I really like it.

I will try not to make it so long between posts next time ;o)
