Okay . . . am the only one that is so tempted to think on things I shouldn't. I get my panties in such a ruffle about the dumbest things. Thank you Lord Jesus for calling to mind Phillipians 4:8-9 . . . "finally, brethern, whatever is Pure, noble, just, true, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good report if there is anything excellent or praiseworthy - THINK ON THESE THINGS! Dear God, help me to THINK ON THESE THINGS. Thank You so very much for Your word - that is sharper than any two-edged sword. For Your spirit that goes before me and makes straight my path. Thank you for all things pure, and true and noble and just and lovely - thank You for so many, many wonderful things - my girls, my husband, my health, my soul, Your spirit within me. Thank you . . .
Finished CS Lewis's Narnia Chronicles - soooo good! THe last book in the series "The Last Battle" is just awesome. Clive Staples Lewis was one brillant man.
Ran in OKC Memorial Marathon - awesome! God, you blessed me again. Thank you for allowing me to do what I can do through You. I do not take it for granted and I feel so very blessed to be able to do it - thank YOU, thank YOu, thank YOu!

Loser
Okay - after reading Sara's blog - that is totally what I feel like - big-time, uncreative, never doing what I intend to loser! Ugh. She is so creative - love their house; love how she just 'does stuff'. Ugh - very neat.

In Christ ~ 4/3/2010
Well . . . it is past my bedtime, but I had to record this in written form somewhere to most likely last forever. This Easter weekend 2010, our oldest daughter, Ellen Janelle Durst, accepted Jesus Christ as her personal saviour. Praise You God! Thank You Jesus. Seal her Holy Spirit. Amen!
We have been attending New Spring Saturday nights and we went for the Good Friday service. Then we went Saturday night and while Ellen was at Kidzworld, they asked if anyone would like to make the most important decision of their life? And Ellen raised her hand and went out with Miss Becky and accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord & Saviour. I can hardly type the words without tearing up because I feel so honored that God has allowed me to experience flesh of my flesh become a christian. Lord God almighty - hallowed be Your name. Blessed be Your name. Praises to Your name.
God just worked it out so perfectly and Ryan & I are completely full of joy! We pray that God works His will in her life; that Ellen walks in His ways, and is obedient to His calling. Speaking of obedience, we had just gone to church Friday night and I worked all day Sat.; Ryan worked hard outside moving dirt and rocks and it was a rush to get out the door so we would be there on time and it would have been so much easier to just stay home; however, we were obedient and went . . . and look how God moves. Where there is faith, God will always move. Thank you Lord for moving in this sweet girls life. I pray she always moves with You.
Amen.
b/t/w - side notes: Duke just won the NCAA championship.
I still hope Ellen marries a baseball player :)
