Stephen still needs prayers

  We start the next round of Dr's visits tomorrow for Stephen.  We go tomorrow to his regular Dr and will prayerfully get some answers on asthma and blood pressure.  Then on Friday we will go back to pediatric cardiologist at Arkansas Children's hospital for a Cat Scan of the Aorta.  Next week we are back to the hospital here for more ultrasounds and then back to the urologist here.  Prayerfully we will get answers.  Please pray for answers and strength to handle however God answers them though we are hoping for good results.  We will give it all to God however He chooses to answer.
  Thanks to all who are following our journey and lifting us up to God.  You will never know what it means to us.
God bless,
pat

Just some thoughts on where I am.....

         I haven't been on here is a couple of weeks, sometimes I would just wonder why I even blogged?  Does anybody read it, does anybody care.  I also could not figure out what to post, do I use memes?  Do I not?  Do I just talk about homeschool, religion or life in general?  I just didn't post.
        Then I came to this conclusion, I will just post what and when God leads me.  He already knows who will read or not read and also this is for me partially as a place I can just freely share who and where I am.  So if you are here I am so glad and if not well, I am happy here and this is who I am....thanks everyone who does read.
God bless,
Pat                           

Making Your Home A Haven-31 Day Fall Challenge! Week 2

Last week we had a two-fold challenge, “light a candle and every time you see the glimmer of it pray for peace in your home“. I want to encourage you to keep your candles and prayers going. 

 This week’s challenge is two-fold also:
Play soft music everyday in your home. Choose music that the family enjoys.
Then, focus on using peaceful words and maintaining peaceful relationships. Role model gentleness with your words this week and while you’re add it have a little fun.  Since the music is going,  grab your husband or children and dance!

     I did notice if I forgot to light the candle my son would light it so that was nice, we shall see how the music goes this week.....are you taking the challenge?
God bless,
Pat

Prayer Request For My 16 year old Son--Stephen

    Stephen, Amanda, and Jonathan Love

{Well Amanda is Master now :)}

    
     These are my 3 kiddos from our wedding renewal, the one of the left is Stephen and he is 16.  He went to the Dr a couple of weeks ago, then we went to hospital for tests here in our town and back to the Dr.  The tests did not come out like we had hoped.  So today we are going to a urologist here in town today and tomorrow we will be heading to Little Rock to Arkansas Children's Hospital to see a Pediatric cardiologist. 
     I know God is in control and will see us through but please this pray if you will cause this Moma is a little scared.
     Thanks and God bless,
Pat (and Stephen)
