Moving

I'm moving the blog from the KCWN web sight, so I hope you save us in your favorites!!
I'll be taking a one month leave from work, as I've used up more than my vacation time this past month, and I just don't feel ready to come back to work yet. As Val gets stronger, and Georgia sleeps more, I think I'll be ready, but not now, not yet, so my thanks to everybody at KCWN for keeping things going without me for another month. (It's amazing how much a person thinks they are needed, when in reality, life rolls on with out you!!)
I think today i'd just like to share some pictures of our life this past month, Enjoy!!

3 weeks

ago, Georgia was born! what a 3 weeks it's been...
this week has been interesting too, another homecoming from the hospital on Tuesday, adjusting to being home, sleepless nights while we figure out Georgia's ever changing schedule. Tuesday and Wednesday were a little rough, mostly on Nana! But last night, we both enjoyed the tranquility of the Graco Sweet Peace Swing. From 2 am to 6 am , Georgia enjoyed a most peaceful sleep, as did Nana! Funny how much more refreshed you feel in the morning if you've had 5 hours of sleep as opposed to 2.
so yes, it's a NEW DAY.
Val continues to work on regulating meds and activities. Being a new mom, there is a lot she would LOVE to do, but recoving is top priority. Adjusting to the new reality can be overwhelming at times, but we know that God continues to give us strength that we could have never dreamed of.
We definetly live day to day.
For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.

-- Isaiah 41:13

THOUGHT:
Life crashes in and we wish we could be children again and have
someone to take care of us and protect us. Into our confused and
chaotic world, God's promise comes to us once again. Like a loving
parent with a frightened child, God reaches out and takes hold of
our hands and comforts us with his precious words: "Don't be
afraid. I'm here with you. I will help." Even when he seems
distant, the echo of this thought can remind us that we are never
alone or forgotten. (cf. Heb. 13:5-6)

PRAYER:
Abba Father, whose presence and help are always near, please
help me have faith that you are here. I confess that at certain
points in my life, you have seemed distant and I have felt alone.
Please remind me through your Spirit of your nearness and your
care. In my moments of struggle and doubt, please make your
presence known. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Amen
blessings to you my dear friends.
Bev

couldn't say thank you any better than this

and since I haven't had a ton of sleep in the last 24 hours...this is for all of you...... February 25, 2009


VERSE:
The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine
upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you
and give you peace.
-- Numbers 6:24-26
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Numbers+6:24-26

THOUGHT:
How would you like to place the mighty name of the LORD on
people you love? God promised that this priestly blessing in
today's Scripture enabled his name (his power and authority) to be
placed on his people. What an incredible gift that we have the
power to give to others with just our faithful words! Blessings are
found all throughout Scripture. Why not begin looking today for
ways to pronounce God's blessing on others? You can start with this
one, and then add a bunch of others as you find them in Scripture.

PRAYER:
O LORD of every good and perfect gift, your blessings are too
many to count and too wonderful to fully comprehend. Please use me
to share those blessings with others. Give me eyes to see and ears
to hear so that I can share your blessings with others today and
each day! In the name of Jesus, your greatest blessing, I pray.
Amen.
