So Quick Update

God has totally provided for our financial needs. Chandler got a flexible second job, much like his teller job that he loves. We can't beat the money he will be making, and he will not need to work on the nights that I have night classes great, huh? We like to think so. God truly answers prayers. HE cares about our every need. I just need to remember that sometimes.

Kili pulled up on an end table in the living room for the first time today. I missed it b/c I was in class. Boo. I'll just pretend like next time is the first time, b/c well it is for me! ; )

I spent a lot of time working on her dedication dress and bows today. Fun! Fun! Nearly burnt the tip of my finger off with the hot glue gun that had been left on since last night. No fun!

Sounds like a few moms from Keels daycare are wanting to order bows and clothes. Yay!!!

I think I may have finally decided what I am majoring in-Fashion Merchandising. (I think my mom is afraid it is a phase. lol.) But it is a Family and Consumer Science degree, which I love. I have wanted to do something in that field as long as I can remember. I feel so at home there. But I do not want to teach. After substitute teaching toward the end of my pregnancy with Kili and taking Intro to Ed, I just know that I wouldn't enjoy it. I could do it yes, but I wouldn't enjoy it. I like to tutor students one on one. I did that for several years in high school. I really think I would probably get fired for saying something too honest to a student. Perhaps that could be taken as rude. ;) Causing a lawsuit. I can just see it now. Teacher fired for telling 8th grade student to quit acting like a ding dong middle schooler. I just have trouble suffering fools gladly-to use a figure of speech. Not meaning that students are fools, of course, because I am one. hehe!

So I maybe going against my traditional, get sure fire training for a sure fire job upbringing, but I am following my heart. I am following what I feel Led to do. Which is more important? Besides that I just emphasize the entreprenuerial side of this degree to my father and emphasize the fact that I could take a few more classes and get my teacher's licensure to my mom. Isn't it silly, I don't live in my parents home, they have never paid for any of my classes, yet I have to please them with my degree choice. No wonder I have ulcers. Just Kidding. I love you guys. You just want the best for me.

Anyway enough boring material to get anyone snoring. Promise I will get back in my old charming blogging self soon.

Okay so I just found something freakin' hilarious. Here's my blog from my summer after Sophomore year in high school: http://www.thotsbycaseyann.blogspot.com/ OMG!!!! Wayyyyyy to funny, but maybe that's because its me looking back at it. lol. I have grown up soooo much. From the looks of it does it look like I thought I would be where I am today?

Last Thought Then I Have Got to Hit the Hay...

Chan and I have really been praying about financial matters. Finally, we gave it to God, not for the reasons we should have, but because we didn't know what else to do. We said it was just going to take an opportunity falling in our lap.

Today a man that works in Chan's building came up to him and ask if he would be interested in making some extra money. There is friend of his that owns a catering company and is very short handed right now. They would work with his work schedule, and he would start at 8 dollars an hour, which in our opinion is great. That is almost what he makes at the bank. This guy didn't even really know Chandler. Isn't it amazing how God can work when we just let HIM.

To top it off we filed taxes today. We should have a nice blessing bestowed upon our account soon. It was MUCH better than what we could have hoped for.

PRAISE GOD! HE will provide us with what we need!

So far so good.

So my second class of the day was cancelled. I have a few seconds, and I would just like to post praise. God is REALLY answering my prayers. I am beyond greatful. So far this week is going great. Not saying things aren't happening, but we can deal with what is. I am finally starting to feel a little better, which is a praise worthy of shouting from the roof tops! We are not losing faith, with HIS help we can do this. With HIS guidance, we will get through this. Praise GOD!

The Power of Positive Thinking

Trying to think positive thoughts for the week ahead. How I always dread Sunday nights.... ah..... Oh wait that is not positive....
GOD please take this week and bless it in ways that only you can. Show us YOURSELF in these blessings. Amen.

Thankful, Thankful, Thankful

Today was such a great day!! I had energy unlike I have probably had since October. Can I tell you how great that is!! I am thankful, thankful, thankful for this wonderful unexpected blessing. We just went on a crazy buy Wal*Mart out of groceries spree. Good thing is I shouldn't have to go back for at least two weeks!! College was super long. I have so much homework I don't even want to think about. Tomorrow I have a drs. appt. in Mena. Hopefully, we will be able to come right back to Hot Springs after that because I have way too much to do this weekend. Makes me crazy thinking about it.

Kili decided to tell me "no" today. She has been saying a couple words for a while- dada, daddy, done, and something else that I can't recall right this second. Well then she has a couple things she says that are close to words or things she mumbles, but we don't think she really knows what she is saying yet because they don't make sense in what is going on. Anyway, you get me I'm sure. So she has been on this crazy spitting spree ever since my brother reinforced the skill a couple of weeks ago. It is very frustrating to get her to eat because no matter how hungry she is, she may or may not spit. It comes with no warning. Well, after not eating pretty much anything than milk for a couple days, we decided spitting or not she has to eat. So she hates having her mouth wiped and every time she spits we say,"No, no spitting." Then wipe her mouth extra good, which is necessary anyway at that point. We are hoping this will deter the behavior. Anyway I told her this today as I have many, many times in the last week. She looked at my very discerningly and in a direct baby voice said, "no". It was all I could do not to laugh. I know this will probably be the only time I will find this cute, so I am secretly enjoying it.

Okay Quick Post

I'm giving myself 3 minutes to write. I really need to go to bed. Too many nites of staying up in a row sewing. I just finished some super cute soft baby shoes for Kili. Going to make some more and matchy stuff tomorrow. I will post pics tomorrow.

The LORD has a funny way of preparing our hearts. There were some things that I have just been really needing to give up to HIM, and lo and behold, when I did the next day, I kid you not, I was faced with the opportunies to be gracious. My GOD knows what I need. HE humbles me in preparation to do HIS work with a willing heart and pure motives. What a Mighty GOD I serve!


Bedtime for girls!

Great News!!!

My pancreatic attack has seemed to end. Now hopefully it never visits again. Seemed to be viral. Still more tests to run. We really don't know how bad it actually got because I didn't go to the doctor until very late. Hopefully, all tests will come back with better than expected results.

We will pray God heals my beta cells, so no diabetes!!

Thank you HEALER!
