New blanket for Jeanie

One morning this past week I was working at the computer when I heard Jeanie screaming this really wild scream. And I smelled something. I ran. She had crawled up onto the counter by the burning candle with her favorite blanket. It was on fire and the box of Kleenex was on fire and it was all flaming up around her arm and face and hair. And she just sat there and screamed! So I did all the right stuff to get it out including doing some of my own screaming. And all was well. Except for her favorite blanket. So last night I was shoveling through my sewing stuff and I found these two garage sale pieces of fabric. So today we have a new awesome blanket that she is thrilled with! Never mind it's frogs and tadpoles! It's totally her. And I'm thankful for a house and a whole girl. Angels are definitely on high alert at this house! Thank you God!

Thank God for His protection. If that little rebel makes it another year I will breathe a sigh of relief. So scary...

Happy Birthday Keagan

Keagan turned three while we were in Idaho. So we made a cake and celebrated with the Skrivseth cousins this year. He was enthralled watching me make the cake. Had to have his little hand on that hat! gazing in adoration at it. Just about ready to blow those candles. He kept telling me that we couldn't sing Happy Birthday though. He's easily embarrassed! Silly guy! I rather like my little three year.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness Forgiveness has bones It has a brain It uses logic And common sense Forgiveness goes about Finding a common ground. It shows up in common places. It happens unsuspected. Forgiveness allows one to Name the thing that happened. Forgiveness gives one a way To see it for what it was. Forgiveness provides for the Empty spaces in conversation And allows one to listen And grieve outside of one’s own experience. Forgiveness walks into a situation And remembers. But walks with peace And knows calmness. Forgiveness has an earpiece On the heart And a microphone At his mouth Saying the words that Forgiveness has given him. Forgiveness doesn’t walk with fear. Forgiveness looks alone. But He’s always always Hand in hand with gentleness and kindness. Forgiveness can stand alone though. It doesn’t melt away or dissipate With time. Forgiveness is that little happy wren On your shoulder Forgiveness sings...

Let me tell you how God answers prayer

Did I ever write on here that I am teaching school at our little church school? I absolutely love it and find that it's been a neat way to feel useful and invest in our bubble. But I am requiring my kids to tell stories and write them and read them. And right now they are in a four week story writing assignment and I began to wonder what I thought I was doing requiring something of them that I am not really proficient at nor am I very knowledgable about. So for my story to write let me tell you a little bit about how God answers prayer. Sometime I feel like I should write Jeanie's whole story. But not this time. Jeanie's been having focal seizures. We don't know when they started. All we know is that we were advised to go get her growing pain/ leg cramps looked into and it started the beginning of many tests of which we still aren't done with....
