Proverbs 13:3

"Self-control means controlling the tongue!
A quick retort can ruin everything."

Today me and Baby Girl went and helped a near a group of people finish
the out side of a fellowship hall.
We were all excited about being able to help because we love to do construction work!
Well, when we getting out of the car,
someone that really drives me crazy and all we do is argue, pulls into the parking lot.
Right before I got out I sent up a short to God asking him to have us working on opposite ends of the building and then I knew that everything would be okay.
Well, as we were getting everything ready to start working, the man in charge of the project,
"Leah-Joy, your gonna be this hear fella's right hand man."
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH, NOOOOOO!!!!
I cannot work with this guy!

Well, anyhow, so around the building we went with our latters, staple gun and ply wood.
And it was amazing!
We never argued, picked on each other or anything!
I don't know about him but I think that the Lord must of had my tung because there
was more then once when I wanted to say something rude or negative but I didn't.
I can't think of any other time when the Lord has given me that much self control.
It is amazing the way He chooses to teach us lessons
because I really have been being quit rude with my mouth and I know that God helped me
with that then He will help with everything else!

Thank you Father for helping me have control of my tongue and not ruining a wonderful day!

Philippians 4:13

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!

Noel is now a Licensed Practical Nurse!!!
She is now going to start her ministry!
The Lord is so amazing!

She has come through so much!
We are all so proud of her!

Thank you Father for such an AWESOME sister!
One who keeps going even when the going gets tough!
Please keep her safe as she continues to walk in your will
and strengthen her hands as you did Nehemiah's.

Wonderful Wednesday

Today was another wonderful Wednesday!
I was blessed with being able to go to my grandmother's house!
It is so peaceful there!
I love Wednesdays and going to visit with my wonderful grandmother!
We talk, embroider pillow cases and watch "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire."
Today she wasn't able to go to church because her right knee has been bothering her and she is having a hard time walking.
Please keep her in your prayers that her right knee will get better.
But that will not stop her!
I think that is where we part of our stubborness from!
But if you met her you would never guess that she is STUBBORN!!!
But it is a quiet way and when she makes up her mind there is NO changing it!

Even though she didn't eat with me she got up and warmed me up some supper and sat and talked with me!
It was so wonderful!
She told me what she use to put in my daddy and uncle's lunch boxes and
many other things like when the hay in the field would be ready and how she never really did like Oreos and still doesn't! : )
Then I rode to church with my aunt and helped her in the nursery!
My aunt is so amazing! She can make any baby stop crying unless they want mama.
But then at times she can make stop crying for that!
She is so amazing!
We had two 2 year olds, one 1 year old, one 6 mon. old and one 9 mon. old!
It was a lot of fun!
They are all so precious!

This little dude is one of the 2 yros.
He is such a good lil' fella!
Him and Grace are having fun on the BIG chalk board!
If you click on the picture you should be able to see the pig that they drew!

SHE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Her test only lasted two hours and then she and Mama went to the Tennessee Aquarium!

We should know the results of the test on Thursday afternoon! Praise Him from whom ALL BLESSINGS flow!

Pray Without Ceasing
