I don't know many people that would complain about a weekend being too long. Certainly not me. This one flew by, but was good.
I was able to go to the Beth Moore Simulcast yesterday. I wasn't sure I would go since Eric had been traveling all week, but I knew I needed to. I needed 'a word' and I got it, ofcourse. God is putting so many things together in my daily quiet time and sermons and conversations and for that, I am thankful. I need so much to be in sync with what He wants for me. So, I'm listening. I'm in the 'waiting room' in several different areas of my life .... expecting God to show me the path He wants. It's hard waiting on Him.
One of the sweetest things that happened while I was at the Simulcast was something happening at home. Eric and E finished the majority of her geography project. Give the Lord some praise! When he told me that on the phone, I cried. I have been so rattled with everything, a project was stressing me out (and her too). When I walked in the door, she was so thrilled to show me what she had done.
So, I got back together with Eric. Ha!
Maybe my love language is acts of service. Reporting suspicious cars, helping with school projects. Hmmmm .... we may be on to something :)
My friend Leslie asked me the other day if breaking up with Eric works because she was going to try it on her husband. I told her 'not really - because he rarely knows we've broken up to start with'. haha. It's all in my crazy mind! I thought I'd better throw that out there because so many of my friends were worried about him when he got home. Come to think of it, isn't that odd? Not worried about me. Worried about him. Hmmmm....
Anyway, my anxiety level is considerably lower than last week. I am trying my best to pray through any fear and believe God to take care of me and my family. I think He gets how fearful we can become. He provides enough scripture to combat it, doesn't He? :)
Today, we had 2 wonderful services at church with messages I needed so much. I particularly enjoyed tonight on Hebrews 12. It gave me the motivation I need to start off this week on the right foot - with Jesus - knowing that any other way will be a disaster. I go to the greatest church, by the way. I guess everyone should feel that way, but it's certainly true for me. Also, this morning's service was even sweeter with my firstborn singing a solo. In my opinion, she sings like an angel! :)
How did I get so blessed?

Hi Deidre!
I am glad to hear that you had a wonderful Sunday taking in God's word and that He is teaching you new things and growing you.
We had our women's retreat this weekend and our theme verse was Hebrews 12:1-3. Neat that you were in that portion of scripture too!
Praying for you this week sweet one.
I attended the Beth Moore Conference in Atlanta this weekend with my 2 daughters and it was so amazing! I know you enjoyed the simulcast. I pray that God will continue to work things out for you in your life! Your 2 girls are precious! Just think, one day you may be attending a Beth Moore Conference with them! I know you are raising them to be women of God and you are a great example to them. Love & blessings from NC!
So glad your anxiety level is down... now we can trade places. Mine is at a 15 on a scale of 1-10 right now (flying on a plane later this week... just got sick again)
WOW - a solo? Did you get a video of it? How impressive for that little thing to stand in front of everyone & do that! Did you cry? I would've :)
Found your blog today:) Sweet pictures.

Precious picture of your girls...PRECIOUS!
Hey Deidre,
Yes she does sing like an angel. I knew right away who it was (you know from the choir you can't see who is holding the mic). Mom and I just smiled at each other. My mom tells me all the time how much E is a blessing to her. God has blessed you with 2 amazing girls. Thanks for being such a terrific friend (& blessing from above). Love ya!
May you savor Jesus this day!!! Thank you for sharing how the Lord is working in your heart and mind!
Hi Deidre!!
I thought of you and prayed for you a lot on Saturday!! Not because I thought you needed that teaching so much as just being at a Beth Moore event makes me think of you and a couple of other siestas from our time in Houston in particular!! I pray you are doing well and I am thankful that you did receive something created for Beth/God to speak to you heart on Saturday (as we all did!!). Love you, Denise
So glad you had a good weekend and that Eric helped with the project. God is good!
