I think I have finally decided...

sigh...can't wait for next year. We will all be happy and friends again. We should throw an internet "post-election" blog party or something :).
James and I have decided, barring any biblical reasons for exclusion, to vote for Chuck Baldwin. We understand that just like us, no one is perfect. But is was a family decision and I am grateful. There were times were we favored two different parties-not fun...lol
Did anyone see Voddie Baucham on CNN the other day. I caught it on Youtube. I was impressed. Even more impressed that the majority, if not all, of the conversation was kept civil. I rarely watch the news anymore, so I was surprised that CNN didn't try to spin, and make the pastor a fall guy or token...cool.
Another CNN youtube that I enjoyed was this one.

While, I don't agree with everything he said 100%, it basically expressed my political sentiments.

We attend a calvary chapel church here in NC, and are studying the book of Galatians. Verse-by-verse. I have been a Christian since 1998, and am ashamed to say, that I have never meditated on these scriptures; just memorized the ones we have made a little cliche, and you enjoy being able to repeat and feel smart...lol...God is really using the letter and the current events to speak to me about his urgency for people to hear and the Gospel. Praise Him.

Were settling in...

Home that a dear brother and sister in the Lord provided. We are so grateful.
God is Good . He is Faihful. Praise and Glory to Him forever!
On July 27th we had a fire in the home we rented. We were homeless by 9am. God took such good care of my children. No one was hurt. James and I were both at work when the sitter became distracted and forgot she was frying on the stove. Pray for her. She has been dealing with so much guilt. But we love her and value her service. How many times have I been distracted by one of my children- it happens!
So, The Lord provided and I mean overflowing. It's August 18 and I was still saying thankyou to gifts and clothing a couple of days ago. We can't even hold all the provision that He has provided.
But more than material things, He has given us His Peace in this ordeal. Praise Him. People ask me have I broke down or cried over the loss, and I haven't. I can't explain it. I am not much of a crier anymore, but this has been overwhelming at times-but no tears. Just Joy.
We have had our frustrations and tense moments, but never were we without His Peace of mind. Thank You Jesus.
So we are in a new city. With new things. Some things were given to us, some bought new by others. It's all new to us!
I am not doing justice to my feelings because they are inexpressible still- even weeks after. I'm sure I will write more later.
