Whirlwind on our Life

Well, sooo much has transpired since my last post. The oilfield here locally and surrounding areas is dead. So, my hubby was put back in the field after having an office job for the last 5 years or so...

We have tried to handle this the best we can, but it has been very hard. Having 4 kiddos and a hubby gone out of town makes things hard. Especially when one is a teen and 2 are pre-teens and they are GIRLS!

So, anyhow we ended up having an exspensive alarm put on the house, so my Mother can hear if someone breaks LOL... but seriously, I DO feel safer knowing that the cops will be at my house in less than 2 minutes should anything arise that is out of the norm.

My best friends husband will be headed to Pennsylvania, and many others we know. Supposedly it is booming up there? I am just grateful and my husband too, that we still have a job with income coming in. So many families have lost everything they owned and are still struggling and starting over. I cannot imagine the stress.

I thank God daily... That there is a reason for everything and even though it is hard, it could be so much worse and we do feel so extremely blessed!

Also, another note that is sooooooooo incredibly great news! My cousin, Julie is back in Odessa! And she has given her life back to the Lord.. she went away for a while, and now she's decided to let God take control... Im am so happy for her and my My aunt and everyone loves her sooo much! WE have missed her, and we are so happy she is back.

Prayers needed for Megan, her daughter, my little cousin.. but I know my God and He wont let us down....

Well, peoples friends and family members if your reading this, LOL which I dont know that anyone is.. ha ha Have a Great Memorial Weekend!!

I have been slaughtered playing Wii with my kids...

Hebrews 11:1

NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].

TTFN!

We are still on the mend.........

Poor Baby boy! I swear... I called the Dr. today, and there is really nothing we can do... this refered pain, in his ears due to his throat, there is only Tylenol... and we've already been doing this for the past week, and still we've have lost nearly 10lbs!! This poor baby, even swallowing liquid... this has been absolutely pitiful! Anyhow, if youre reading please, say a little prayer for Teagen...

Yucky Tonsils!

Well, its been 5 days since Teagen had his tonsils out and he seems worse than the 1st day!

He woke up complaining of his ears hurting, Im sure this is all part of it, but I cant hardly stand seeing my baby boy crcying and waking up through the night in pain.. If this doesnt subside soon, we may be making a trip to the Dr. Yesterday he had one large milkshake and a small amount of runny mashed potatoes. Not enough to feed a bird.. He looks a little pewny, and just isnt himself 100% yet.. He has been having Mommy watch Disney movie after Disney movie daily, Bolt I believe 6x's or more now.. but I dont care. We've played go fish, crazy 8's, and old maid as well. I think I may take him outside in the backyard tomorrow, it's a little cool here today. 55 degrees.. He needs some sunlight poor thing.. big circles under his big brown eyes..

Anyhow, I thought during this time I would get to organize and work around the house, but I dont think that is going to happen. I managed to sneak up here to make a few phone calls, check facebook, update my status and blog a bit, but I know he will realize shortly Im not downstairs..

Well, that's all this week, Im sure we will be feeling the pain from this surgery for the next week still.. wow, I had no idea it would take such a toll on this little fella'

I sure hope it will be worth this in the long run, it better be!! I want to see my kiddo's smiling face like when we picked out icecream before surgery...

KNOWING with Nicolas Cage... what I believe..

Knowing with Nicolas Cage is an awesome thriller, suspense filled makes you jump ou tof your seat a couple times... but the ending I think will be precieved 2 different ways... I choose and I believe it symbolizes the end of times in the Bible..

Matthew
7:21 "Not everyone who calls out to me, 'Lord! Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter.

This is exactly what I heard not in exact words, but at the end when the son, is being lead by these "celestial beings" or I as I saw them "angels" clearly those are wings on their backs.. are taking him and the other little girl, both of which are the "chosen", he asks his Dad, why are they saying this, no, no, I wont go without you.... Nicolas cage says what are they saying? He says to his Dad, they say only the chosen can come, only those who hear their calling...

In several moments of this movie without pointing out obviously, they are refering back to the Bible and the biblical explanation of what happens in the "end times". I was very impressed, also realizing that some will say that these were aliens, taking the "chosen" to live on another planet, I disagree, because in the end it shows the "tree of life"... while the earth is then destroyed by fire... it shows I believe the new earth...

I think those who do not have any type of religious background might very well be confused, but for those who do, we will all appreciate use of biblical faith and knowledge in the end of the movie.. it no matter what definitley have you re-thinking your walk of life.

2 thumbs way up! I would see it again...

Wowsers! Life is just Flying by..........

I just now had a chance to sit down, log in tweek a few things on my page and take a breath... Life is like the song that Kenny Chesney sings "Living in Fast Forward"... I feel like this right now.. the girls have been home 1 night this whole week, and are staying at my Mom's tonight...

Not that Im complaining, but we have been ping-ponging all over this entire Spring Break.. I have not scrapped in well over a month, and it doesnt look like anytime soon either...

Plus, being out of our home for over 2 months because a drunk driver carelessly drove through our front living area, messed our lives up, dis organized us, and we're still trying to get back from that... I will post pics...some time later

My youngest is having a tonsilectomy this coming Friday, and we will be out of school a full 6 days re-cooping, which means I will miss work as well. So, we've been hunting down pj's and houseshoes, and discussing what ice cream to buy because as you know that is the most important part for the six year old... ha ha!

So, my next venture once I get everyone well, and school close to being finished is to build and create my scrap area! Yay! I cant wait....

Hopefully I can get on here more often to update, Im sure those who used to peek in on myblog have now quit but I hope you'll start again... :)

TTFN!

Thank You Jesus! Thank you God!

I waited patiently for the LORD to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. Psalm 40:1


This is exactly what has happened just recently and in a big way...... I am so grateful to God above for coming in and helping us , to make our decision in buying our new home. We were so confused since we have never purchased one. But, even though it wasnt immediate help, He made sure we knew the right decision to make...

I just have to share, how amazing our Lord and savior is...... from the small situations , to the larger ones... He is always there for us.. even when we dont realize it.

God Bless,
Amanda
