Moriah ~ My Angel


 I wanted to upload some pictures of my angel! I thought I had lost these pics! I came across them today and was thrilled to know they weren't lost after all! I used to have such fun taking her picture because she was a natural poser! I could get her to do just about anything! It's harder now because she doesn't have the patience! But I thought I would share some pics of my little Angel Baby! (Well, not-so-little Angel Baby now... [sigh]... they grow up too fast!)


I think at this point she was getting tired of me taking her pic! Thus this face! LOL!


 One of my personal faves! (Above photo!)



I love this photo, too! It was one of those "accidental" shots where she turned her head at the last second! 
These photos were taken about two or three years ago, so she has changed some! She's losing her "baby" face! 

We've started school! She is now in the 2nd grade and doing well! She was tested at the beginning of the year and excelled in every subject in the "advanced" section, except Math. She is right on target with Math. Reading is a real strong point for her! I'm proud of her! 

I will post more later! Hope everyone is having a great day!

Work From Home?

Hello to my friends out there! It's been a LONG time and I've been wanting to update for a while now, but literally haven't had the time! We've been BUSY!

Moriah started back to school on August 6 and so far, I'm not liking it one bit. We are NOT doing A Beka this year (sad, but true) due to finances being tight, so we went the route of K12, which is a virtual school, all online learning, with SOME book learning. It's hard to get used to and I am about to have a nervous breakdown over it. I have found myself praying that God will somehow make a way for me to get the stuff she needs from A Beka (which I am a HUGE fan of), but it hasn't happened yet.

Now, if that was all I had to deal with, I would probably deal with it. But with the transitioning to Youth Pastors an hour away, and Darren working mostly part time right now, he's been working overtime trying to find a full time job that will allow us to move closer to the church. It hasn't happened yet, but we are praying and wanting the will of God more than anything. I'm sure He has the best job and home lined out for us. Just being me, I am anxious for it all to come together real soon! Like yesterday! LOL!

We have a lot going on at church. We are planning a yard sale to raise money for the youth. The yard sale will be on Saturday, September 8, from 8 to 1, in Germantown. If you're in the area, stop by! We have revival coming up starting Sunday with Bro. Mike Switzer! We are looking forward to that! In November, a Youth Saturday is being planned! There will be Youth Rally on Friday night, the 16th of November, then the next day will be Youth Saturday! We are excited about that, too!

I've been doing some research on "Working From Home" advertisements and needless to say, most of them, if not ALL of them, are scams. What amazes me is, if they AREN'T scams, why aren't more people going for them???  It sounds too good to be true! Does anyone know of a legit "work from home" scheme that pays money? LOL!

We had our first choir practice with the youth group last night and I must say how happy I was that it turned out so well!!! There are only about ten young people that we are working with and I was amazed at how well they sang! It was amazing!!! They love to sing, so that helps! And I even have some who show interest in playing various instruments, so maybe I can get away from the piano some! It's hard to direct a choir from a piano, but I've done it! I'm not sure how I will act if I can actually get away and be out there where I can get the most from them! Singing away from the piano makes me feel, um, what's a politer word here for (naked)! LOL!!!

Well, I don't want to write a book right now, so I better get going. There's been so much more going on in our lives lately than I have time to write about! But I would love to hear from my friends when you all get a chance! I must say, I DO NOT miss Facebook! I felt trapped while on it, but now I feel free! Does anyone know what I mean? I feel safer!

Good day to all my friends and I hope your lives are happy and fulfilled! And blessed!
I am!
