Mom on a mission from God

When my son came home with a flyer for K4C I was so blessed!  Wow some one started a club with Christ as the center of it and the school was actualy letting this happen, Good for you public school lol. My son was excited about it because he loves God almost more than I do lol.  And reading all the info I found on a web site called Gateways To Better Education I knew that it was a leagal club and that they had rights to meet at school and use all school media that other clubs use.  So reading this months school news letter I was sad, but not surprised that about every club had been given some attention but the one my son had joined.  At first I just let it go, but it kept coming back to me and I had to do something! I have been armed with info for just this reason! God wants to use me in my childrens school, even if it's in a small way. So I spent last night praying and then writting a letter to my son's principal.  Then today I called the nice women who orgnized K4C and asked her opinon.  She said she was so blessed that I have taken up this cause and that she wasn't even aware of a school news letter.  I also went to a goverment website and cut and copied what where some hilights on this issue. I am sure I will not have room here to post it but I will put it in another post with the what I wrote to the principal or you can look for your self on the link.

Parnets must make sure thier kids rights are being seen to

As you all know my children are about the biggest thing in my life right now. It is starting to get busy! I don't remember being this busy as a kid lol. I have tried to limit what we get ourselves into, my motto, Pick a few things to do Well, instead of doing a lot of things that we cannot put as much effort in. My son has wanted to sign up for about every club there is but I had to sit him down and ask him what his interest really are and limit what he wants to do. So far he is in BoyScouts and an after school club called K4C (Kids4Christ) and soon he will be starting up wrestling and oh ya he is doing Science Fair this year. I am so proud of my little guy, he is doing so well in school and would do even better if he would not try and rush threw things and give attention to detail. Got his mid term progress report All A's with one B in Science (lol I know it would have been an A if he would not rush threw it cuz details count in this area big time) He must get his smarts from his dad, cuz it is not from me lol. He is very sensitive to world around him, he is helpful, caring.. I know I could go on and on lol

Anyway I was reading the school news letter that the Principal puts out each month. It is very helpful to see things at a glance but I was rather sad when just about EVERY CLUB was mentioned in some way but the one my son decided to join. OK now folk I am a mom on a mission and I will have to make another post about it lol. But I have been well informed on what students rights are in regards to non-school endorsed club activites and also what the students rights are in regards to religous expression.  Thank you Gateways to Better Education!!  I know that many of the teachers in P.S. have been bullied and intimdated and often don't really know what the law says, so its the job of parents like me to make sure my kids rights are seen to.  Now I am not one of those moms who is flabergasted at every little thing, and normaly I would not step out like this, but God has laid it on my heart so I must obey.

Is there a gay gene? Does Science prove there is a God?

Thoughts From A Collapsed Brain This is a journal entry that deals with this person's past and the question about if someone is born gay. John argues that NO, men are not born this way but that there events leading to this choice. I posted a comment about how I agreed with him on that. Not that I condone this or anything. Then someone else left a comment quoting the American Medical Journal that it is a proven fact that there is a gay gene. This raised my eyebrow a bit and I just had to find this article.

So after doing a search threw the AMJ and not turning it up I e-mailed this person and asked where he got it from so that I may read it or cite the Volume and Issue # so that I may do my own research. He very kindly replyed with this webpageIs There a "Gay Gene"? And apologized for miss quoting but that he had been fooled by the media and he miss read, but he hopes in the future it could be proven. I responded with a nice Thank YOU and said my peace that I do not think it will ever be answered by science
Because God doesn't create mistakes and that in his eyes that is what the gay lifestyle is, a mistake. But he loves ppl despite their past mistakes. And I wished him much love. Sadly this person responded back saying "he doesn't believe in a god and prefers to believe in science but to each his own" Sigh, but science does prove God! If you look at it all it all leads to a design, that we couldn't have just been some accidental evolutionary phoneme. Oh well, more clash of World Views. I will pray for him tonight.

What's said between a husband and wife should stay that way

Josh and I had a nice little chat.  He feels very very uncomfortble about me talking about him and especaly anything about his job.  He has a thing about it and I have to respect him. Thus the censored post lol.  He dosn't want me to say anything in here that He would not say in some ppl's company.  So I will try try and stick to this request as best I can.  This is hard. Cuz the very nature of my journal is to let me be me and rant and vent as I see fit.  But I love and respect my husband and will honor this request.  Gossip runs ramped in his work place and forsome reason he is a target and he feels very sesitive on this issue.  Oh I wonder if I can put that or Censor that? lol. 

Behind every good man is a GOOD women. lol

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things.

This is the scripture I quoted to my loving husband this morning when he got sooo mad at the guy from work.  Josh did not work yesterday and when he stays home it throws a wrench into my rountien lol.  Not that I do not enjoy him being here, I don't enjoy the grummpy mood from him being upset with the (cesored) from work.  Censored Censord Censord lol. Being the encourager that I am I try and put a possitive spin on everything and asure him that we will be ok, we can make rent next week if we are short, Don't let Censored get to you baby.  Josh is the main provider and he takes this serously and that is partly how he shows he loves us.  So when he doesn't work for a day or two he gets upset.  It's Allllll Good BAby, God will provide and take care :)

So on top of this the kids are still sick with a cold and cough.  Zane has a funny thing going on in his belly that we need to get checked out hopeing it isnt a herna ( i would think if it was he would be doubled over in pain).  We have started the task of potty training our 2yrd.  Our goal is by Christmas to have her completly going on the potty!  I got misty eyed when I said to Josh " Do you relize this is our last one to potty train, then no more diapers!?"  A sting of saddness there, my kids are getting sooo big so fast!

What do you put Your Identity in? What defines you?

That question was possed to the us at the Ladies Retreat followed by a very funny skitt. Then we did this following exersice..

Write on a piece of paper all the words that describe you. such as mother, wife, daughter sister, carrers and so on.

Then exchange the paper with the person next to you.

Then rip up and crumple that paper given to you!

Oh you could hear the gasps as we crumppled up the papers.  This was our Identity right, all the things that define us and it was being crushed!  The jist of this lession was, that all the things we let define us, that we put ourselfves in can be crushed, mashed, ripped up, and trapbled on, they are not permanate things and can be changed. But if we put our Identity in Christ that can never be taken away from us. Yes I am a wife and a mother to 4 wonderful kids, I am a sister and daughter but those are temapry things and dont define me. I will not always be those things.  I forever in Christ be a child of God! A daughter to the KING! I am an ambassitor of Christ, I am a Worshiper, I am a Prayer Warrior, I am a Saint, I am a joint hier to the Kingdom!  Good things to remember when I am feeling Low and unloved.  In this World I am maybe nobody, but in Heaven I am somebody and very preicous to God!

Beautiful, The name of the Temple Gate in Acts Chapter 3:1-5

Remembrance

Here is a link to my Remembrance page I just updated it today. I added a picture memorial that I made for the memorial service last year. I just figured out how to convert it to jpeg so i could put it on the website. This is a part of my life and part of me brining all the broken peices of my life to the Lord and letting him heal them. I know that where you have been hurt the most God can use you the most.

Beautiful is the name of the Temple Gate where Peter and John healed a crippled begger.  I saw that and knew that was the name I had to give to my child.  Check out the webpage and let me know what you think.
