We are having a great year so far. It started with revival with Bro. Cody Marks and a communion and foot washing service. Revival is awesome. Already so many wonderful things have happened. Kevin and I have felt such a refreshing and renewal. We know that God has great things in store for us this year and the dreams we have had over the years are going to happen!! The girls have received some awesome touches, too. And that makes it worth it all. These have been the types of services that will be remembered for years, and not just with a "That was a great revival" type of memory, but the type that is a memorial in our lives, when things were changed and new things began.
The girls are back in school for a few more weeks. They go off track on Feb. 7 I think. They go to school the first week of Feb and then are out until they go back the second week of March.
They are doing great learing their Bible Quizzing verses. They will be through Luke 10:11 by the end of this week and next week they won't learn any new verses but will focus on better preparing themselves for the tournament on Jan 30 and 31. The tournament is over the 34 verses they learned from Luke 4 and 6.
I registered Dallas for Kindergarten last week. I was finally able to get his shot records from our "care provider" in Oakland. It's a long story, but Dallas was only a little overdue on his last set of shots, so we were able to get that done and get his Kindergarten paperwork turned in! Yea!!! Dallas is also learning Bible Quizzing verses. He is doing really well considering he won't be 5 until Feb 13 and he doesn't have someone to learn with like the girls did their first year. He just has me! But he has memorized 22 verses so far. And he can answer questions, too. He just hasn't totally caught the concept of putting the reference with the verse. But that will all come with time. This year is really just about letting him practice and learn how to memorize. He might quiz at the first tournament if I can get him through the 34 verses by then. Plus Kevin promised him a new pair of cowboy boots if he knows the verses for the tournment. I think the girls should learn a lesson from Dallas on bargaining for prizes!!
We've been sick around here the last week. It started with Denae coughing and running a fever for a few days, staying at around 103 for 2 days (when she didn't have medicine). She still has the cough and yucky nose but no fever. Dallas began coughing a few days after her. He hasn't ran a fever yet, but he has a yucky nose too. And yesterday I started coughing. Today it is really bad with a sore throat but no fever. So now a sick mommy has to try and take care of two sick babies. Fun times!! I do hope no one else gets it or the girls will be dangerously close to being sick when tournment time rolls around next week. They would really be disappointed if that happened. And I hope Denae and Dallas get over this soon. Not sure if it is just a cold or virus or if I am going to have to take them to the Doctor. I guess if Denae goes much over 7 days I will take her to the Doctor. Today is her seventh day of being sick, but with no fever anymore I am just debating.
Anyway, such is life in our house. Revival is great, the kids are sick, Bible quizzing continues, and through it all God reigns supreme, blessing His people, saving the lost, and showing grace and mercy to us all. Hope you all have a great day!!
