A good weekend

We had a great weekend this weekend! I'm still mad about the heat, but I won't continue on that.

The biggest thing that happened is that BETH MOORE was at our church this weekend. Well, not in person, but via satellite so it was close enough, right? It was so great and I got so much out of it. I have looked at my notes several times since yesterday just still soaking in everything she had to say.

She spoke on having a 100-fold harvest and letting God's word have maximum impact in our lives. She talked about expecting a test, protecting our heart, and retaining the word. She spoke a lot about a touchy subject with me: anxiety.

Anyone who knows me knows how anxious I am and how I worry about everything. I even have been known to worry about worrying. That's pretty bad! It doesn't matter how many times I read it or hear it, it always helps to hear this verse:

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Philippians 4:6

It was so great to have that reminder put into my head and to be reminded that being anxious about things is showing no faith.

The one thing I will take with me the most is when she said this: "God won't change your life if you won't let him change your day."

It was a wonderful experience and I love all of the women at our church that worked so hard to put it all together.

Scott is on vacation this week!!!! Woo Hoooo!!! :)

Tomorrow will make two weeks until school starts. I am very nervous but very excited for Ethan. I am not worrying about it because I am believing in my faith that he is going to do great & that this is the school where he needs to be. I couldn't be more proud of him. He has grown so much and is so energetic and excited. We went for his kindergarten registration last week and seeing him go off with the teacher and then come back with the biggest smile on his face brought tears to my eyes. Then it set me over the edge when they took his picture. I will never forget the way that boy looked standing there against the wall. So much excitement, wonder, and love. I pray that he always keeps his loving spirit and his excitement for everything that he sees.



I have a feeling there may be some more sappy kindergarten posts as it grows nearer, so get ready!
