What a blessing it was to be able to go to the Summit this year!  I tried to get out of it because of all of the sickness at home, but I am so glad God didn't let me.  He met me, even though I spent most of the time out of the sessions and in the room with Eli.  
Once again, He reminded me that He is enough...for joyful mothering, sacrifical marriage, victorious living. 

 His Spirit is in me...what more could I need?  I am Holy because of this fact.  

So, I go home in confidence...and with great peace!

I am trusting that this will change my relationships,  even with my...

Yesterday, after much bickering and breaking up fights I said to the kids, "We really need to sit down and read our Bible together.  We need to hear from the Lord!"  The sounds that followed ripped me to the core..."Awww!" "Do we have to?" "I don't like reading the Bible!"  I wanted to scream in anger about how they never seem to make those sounds when we sit down to watch a movie, but I didn't, I just started reading.  Zeke was the only one scrambling to get to my lap and hear the story. Afterwards, I let the kids go play and I just sat in the Popasan chair feeling dejected, like a terrible mother. "Lord, you promised to pour out your Spirit on my children!  What is happening?  I am failing you...failing them!  You have to do something" I brought them all back into the sun room for a light lecture.  Haha...yeah, if that's possible! "Guys, I have one main job as a mother and that is to teach you the Word of God....
