Our Week

This has been one CRAZY week! The boys had their Cross Country Sports Awards on Monday Night. Jordan had a project so he stayed home while I took Josiah. Karlton and Joel had a tournament at the same time.... It was sooooo cold that night that I did not want to take the girls out of the house so I left them with Jordan while Karlton and I went our separate ways with a child.

Like I mentioned before we are playing in a fundraiser tournament all this week. We will have had 4 games by Friday. Sara Ava's team has 2 games and Karlton & Joel's team 2 games. They each have played 1 game so far. Friday is the next games. If we win those games we play Saturday until we lose. Sara Ava's team has won 1 game so far and almost 2. They went into overtime 3X on Tuesday night. Sara Ava played her little heart out! She is so cute to watch! She is a little go getter! Joel is really good too! We teach our kids to be aggressive on the court and they ARE!!! ;0)

Then there is basketball practices, Jordan has had 2 Wrestiling matches this week, plus 3 days of practice. Not to mention all the Christmas parties, and activities, school field trips, and dr. apts...... Whew.... I am tired and the week is not even finished! I have not made it to any of Jordan's matches to take pictures yet. Karlton goes to watch him, and has taken video for me to watch. So when I get a spare moment I need to get to one so I can take some pictures of him! ;0)

I have also been making tutu's this week and finishing up all my Christmas orders! I believe I am all caught up for the moment! Here is my lastest project that I have been working on. This is a Tutu for a Newborn up to 3 months of age. It also comes with a halter top that ties around the neck and a matching headband w/ flower bow. This set will make a Great Christmas Gift! It is $30.00 ( plus shipping). Buying it all together saves you $3. But if you do not want all 3 pieces let me know I will sell them individually as well. If you are interested e-mail me at karlton5@juno.com

Is your week as crazy as ours??? I'm sure it is with this time of year.

Verses that really spoke to me and helped me get through our adoptions.

(John 14:18) " I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you."

(Isaiah 43:5-6) "Do not be afraid, for I am with you,
I will bring your children from the west. Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth."

(Proverbs 25:25) "As cold water is to a thirsty soul : so is good
news from a far country."

(Matthew 6:25-34) The do not worry chapter.
This is the chapter that told me we would adopt again and the
baby girl woud be named Lily (Lilee). "The lilies of the field".
This is a great reminder of why we should not worry, God will take care of his people!

(Psalms 82: 3-4) "Defend the cause of the weak and the fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Resue the weak and neady; deliver them from the hand of the wicked."

(Psalms 68: 5) "A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling."

(Deuteronomy 10:18) " He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow and loves the alien, giving them food and clothing."

(Philippians 4:13) "I can do all things through him who gives me strength."

(Philippians 4:6-7) " Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present
your request to God. And the peace of God,which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

(Romans 8:28) " And we know that all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

(James 1:27) "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after the orphans and widows in their destress, and to keep oneself from being polluted from by the world."
