Just wanted to post a few pictures of the past years happenings. We took several trips this summer. One of which Kayla and I went to Palm Springs for the Resolved Conference with John MacArthur and many other wonderful speakers. It was a wonderful experience for both of us. We learned so much ...the theme was Heaven and Hell..which was very sombering and humbling. We went to Family camp in the Blue Mountains this summer...which is always fun with our church family. Another big event in my family is my mom and brother moved up here from Texas so they could live closer to family. What a busy, eventful year!

Are you sick with a cold or Flu?
I was reading in this "recipe/health" book last week about some home remedies for certain things and this one stood out! It made me chuckle...so I thought I would share it. Who knows it may help you this winter if you get sick or just give you a chuckle too!
*stop eating immediately
*start a fast or cleanse
*Drink a lot of pure water and lemon-honey tea
* Daily Echinacea
*Do a daily enema ( okay who is going to give me one?)
*Daily vitamin C
* Have thoughts with peace and harmony( reality..6 kids?)
*Avoid negative and grouchy people (how do I avoid myself?)
*Eliminate drugs. Your body knows what to do ( but how do I fall asleep with my nose plugged?)
*Remove stress. Include joy, happiness, peace which BOOSTS the immune system and then your body cures itself. ( basicaly go on a vacation..without kids?)

Praise the Lord! My sister called yesterday and their adoption has finally gone through! They have been going through the adoption process now for over 2 years. We are all so excited for them!!
They have 4 children of their own...two of which are still at home. They are adopting
siblings from Kazakhstan. They will be traveling over there as soon as they get their letter of invitation and then choosing the children from profiles they will be given. They have much to do to get ready and as it is very, very cold there my sister has been shopping for winter coats and such... cause they don't really have winter in Tennessee!
Keep them in your prayers! This has been a long journey for them...but God has now shown them the right time for them to receive the children He has chosen for them.
Here is a picture of my sis and her family...this was last November ...they came to visit our family at Thanksgiving.

Running the Race!!
I have been doing a study called "Loving God with all your mind" by Elizabeth George. It has been really good and very practical. I wanted to share from the book what has been an encouragement to my walk with the Lord. We as believers are running a race...
Phillipians 3:13-14 says... "Brethern, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but ONE thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching for those things which are ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." First...we need to forget what lies behind....that means forget the past, forgive those who have caused us pain, look for the hidden blessing..maybe a lesson learned, deeper knowledge of God, greater understanding for further service to Him and His people...find the good and move on! Now reach for those things which are ahead...what does that mean? In order to be a foward moving, focused Christian...I have to understand the purpose of my life and focus on God and God-given goals (say 'no' to what is trivial) What is your focus? Are you focusing your efforts toward the prize....are you "training" regularly and "working out" in the daily disciplines of the Christian life? One thing I have really noticed as of late...is how busy everyone is...sooo many things to do ... but is all this busyness keeping us from running our "spiritual race"! Hebrews 12:1,2 talks about laying aside every encumbrance and sin that easily entangles us and to fix our
eyes on Jesus! What is keeping you from running a BETTER race? Are you giving your utmost for HIS Highest? Focus is key...we can lose our focus so easily each day with all the distractions...it will be a battle. I was challenged with setting some goals..lifetime goals for my life. What can I do to serve and follow Him more passionately and intently? I heard someone say if you give some time to God in the morning and the evening of each day, it keeps us focused on the eternal and not this world....and that would keep us running the race! God will enable us to run this race and one day we will receive our prize .... eternal life with Him! So Keep on running!!!

Starting a blog!
Wow, I am hoping this will be fun and I will have time to do it! It took me a while to figure out what to call it. I thought of joy... the joy of life.....first of all My Savior Jesus Christ...my loving husband Eddie....and of course my 6 beautiful children! There is so much to enjoy and endure through a lifetime. If only we can have joy in the hard times and good! That is the key. I am learning much about the Providence of God. He is in control of EVERYTHING! It is all about how we will respond.... JOY? So in this blog ...I am excited to share my life and the JOY it brings.
