Waiting for......school to start!:)

I can't believe that I will go back to school next week! This summer has flown by in some ways and been slow in others.  I have done a lot of waiting.  Waiting for Marcus to get home from Centri-Kid, waiting for my adorable nephew Eli to come into the world (more on him in a bit!), and waiting for Marcus to get back from Honduras (where God moved greatly...and I will be going again next year...God willing!), waiting for God to show me some personal things in my walk with Him and move some personal mountains...He is bit by bit...by the way!:), and now waiting for school to start...really excited about this new year and seeing my funny kids again!:)
Praying I can keep this momentum throughout the whole school year! I have been looking at ways on the internet of helping my severely immobile students.  They don't do much other than sit or occasionally coo or cry.  Through looking on the internet I found some ideas and made a sensory tent.  Hoping and praying this will give them some incentive to reach out, grab items, push, pull, etc.
Elijah Joseph DeFatta is here! My brother Jason and sister-in-law Jackie are oh so proud...this aunt is too!:)  He is so adorably cute and has the prettiest skin! Watch out girls in a couple of years he will be quite the catch!:)  
I hope you have a blessed day, week, month or 2 months...just wanted to cover all the ground because I am not a stable blogger as of yet!:)
p.s. I tried to upload pics of Eli and the sensory tent on here...but we couldn't figure out how to put a pic I took with my phone and put on Facebook on here.  Maybe later...I'm not very tech savvy!:)

Waiting

I guess I haven't posted in a LONG time because I didn't feel like I had anything worth posting.  I'm not having a baby, adopting a child, or anything that I consider exciting.  But I realize that part of the healing process is just talking and praising Him for what I do have.  We had 2 amazing foster daughters for 6 months and it is SO hard without them.  If I never see those angels again I know that God had them with us for a purpose and I will pray for them every day.  So I guess the place I am right now is the waiting....not the most desirable place in the world...probably one of the hardest...but I hold onto Jeremiah 29:11 and know that His plans for me are good! So as I wait I will....anticipate the new of arrival of my nephew Eli (who will be thoroughly spoiled by me) in July, get ready for our New York themed VBS next week, miss my husband as he goes to kid's camp then Honduras in early July, go to Destin with my parents while said husband is in Honduras, make home made ice cream for said husband, try to give my worries to God and quit taking them back (like I can do anything with them anyway...He has ALOT of patience with me), and rest in His perfect will knowing the healing is in His oh so capable hands (check out the awesome song by Christy Nockels) and listen to my spoiled Olde English Bulldog (Sophie/AKA Soph the Loaf) snore like a train in the recliner as I type this!  I'm sorry if I have offended any Grammar teachers...I warned you about my tendency towards run-ons!:)

Be blessed and have a great week!

LOVE this song!

This song title is from the same verse as my blog title...yeah the reason I LOVE the song so much is because it is about the verse! This is "Be Still" by Story Side B.  I hope you can see the see the video...I am new to all of this and as my husband, Marcus would say "it is not the computer Jenny....it is the operator" LOL! I hope you have an AWESOME Palm Sunday tomorrow! Just think tomorrow is the day that this happened in history! "When He came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen: Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!" Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, rebuke Your disciples!" "I tell you," He replied, "if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out." Luke 19:37-40. Just THINK of that! Our God is so awesome! I mean Creation has no choice but to PRAISE the Creator! And He gave us the gift of being able to PRAISE Him verbally, emotionally, with our actions, hands, words, song, and daily lives! As you worship tomorrow don't go to try and see what you can get out of it...go to worship our Jesus because He DESERVES it!  Have a blessed Sunday!

Here I go!

I love reading blogs...I read certain ones almost every day! I love seeing how God is working in their lives and being able to pray for people I have never seen, but have a connection with because of our AWESOME Creator and Savior!  I am looking forward to using this as a means of laughing at life, venting, ministering to people like me, and above all Praising Jesus for all He has done and continues to do in my life!  So get ready for extremely bad grammar [as Mrs. Holder, my favorite English teacher and preacher's wife would always say..."Run-ons, Jenny, Run-ons!:)], ramblings of every day life, and basically whatever He shows me day by day!
