Billings

Had a great time in Billings at the Beth Moore conference. Forgot how nice it was to get away with other women and leave the kiddos behind for a while. The verses from the weekend were Isaiah 32:1-8, but we focused on verse 8. "A noble man makes noble plans and by his noble deeds he stands." A very interesting passage that I had not every looked at in depth. It was an encouragement for us to be noble (a "willing volunteer" is the meaning of the original hebrew word)and be a benefit for others.
Some quotes from the weekend that I really liked were:
1-Until we are in the kindgom, the kingdom is within us
2-We are not left here to be good but to be good for someone (if you are still alive-God is not done with you)
3-Enjoy the simple victories
4-We can't plan our circumstances but we can plan our faithfulness
5-Not everybody is called to be a speaker, but we are all called to speak
6-Are we going to be whimps or warriors for the army of God.
I could go on. She was really great speaker, very animated, witty, authentic. She only does about 10 events a year and she does a different talk for each one. She did not even know what she was going to talk about until God showed her this verse 3 weeks ago.
The boys and dad survived without me! But of course they were so glad to have me back home.
Tomorrow is suppose to be B's last 'treatment' with the chiropractor for his allergies. I still don't understand how it works but supposedly he has been resetting the nervous system. The Chiro has had some remarkable results with some other patients using the laser treatment for other things. So, I guess in the next couple of days we will reintroduce cheese and see how it goes. The hard thing is that he has such a delayed reaction to foods that it takes a week or two before you even symptoms (mainly congestion, snoring at night, etc).
Here are some pictures taken over the weekend! The boys looked so cute. In their khakis, denim shirts and jeans.
Oh, I just got a call - within the next 2-3 hours I should be a great aunt! I am not old enough to be a great anything. Jose's 15 yr old niece recently found out she was having a little girl!
