Forgive me....

I know I haven't posted but I have been really busy with different things going on in my life. Friday night went and hung out with my intern for the summer. She moved to Charlotte on Sunday so we went out and did some things. Really great time and I had Aydan. Kind of felt weird because that was the first time that I 'hung out with friends' and had a kid!!! But he was great that evening and he was the only kid.

Saturday had the picnic. Was planning on being there sooner but Mariano called and was down about how things went with his mom. The devil can be so deceiving!!! Not talking bad about Mariano but this would go for anyone who hasn't been in a church service for 8 months or so but it is so easy to get spiritually week. I have thought about all three times that we were over there, the one time that Bro Ken went we did have a thought from him. But if I go over again and anyone goes with me, I would like to have a church service. I believe it would really encourage Mariano. So plans are now, finishing paying off the last trip and wait for an answer. I was going to say wait patiently but I am not very good at that! So when we get an answer and Lord willing it will be he is coming home, depending on how the finances are at that time depends on if Aydan and I will go and bring him home. That has always been the plan but some other maintenance items have come into play. So Mariano and I have agreed to pray about that. Mariano wants me to stay at his house and I believe I could do that but he doesn't see my side of eating the foods. So I worry about that and of Aydan eating the food. So lots to pray about...I did say jokingly that Mariano couldn't make me come over there!!!! So but we do miss him and hopefully in a few months we will hear an answer!!!

I miss our Saturday morning snuggling times!!! Miss our talks at night! Miss rubbing his cheek with my hand or when we are in an embrace, miss feeling his cheek against mine!!! Okay, enough!!!

I am looking forward to revival. I like to hear Bro Nathan talk. I would love to meet his family! Mariano really like him too! So it will be good

Saft's Annual Picnic is this Saturday. I chose not to help this year because I wouldn't have anyone to watch Aydan all day and I wanted to spend sometime with him. So they do give away good prizes so I am always eager to have those!! Last year I won $100 in gas. It was a God send because the very next week gas went up to like $4 and was hard to find so that came in really handy!

I do want to thank God that I found my battery charger!!! Thought that I had left it in Guatemala and I didn't know when Mariano would have time to go there and check. But Saturday for the picnic, I drove the truck and ended up finding the charger in the dash!!! So I was thankful because the battery was dead and haven't been able to take any pictures of Aydan and send to Mariano. So I brought the camera today to put pictures on my work computer, change my pic on my desktop and post some pic. Also, finally got a facebook account but it has nothing on it yet. So I will work on that, but I forgot to get the cord to hook to the tower!!! So no pictures today.

I have picked out a few songs that I want to get together and learn. Some have been really encouraging to me. With that being said I do want to thank the Lord that Nathan Dezio did get saved! Some of us go together the other night and we did some singing and it was really nice. Just like old times!!! I was talking to Mariano and I told him that I felt like I had contributed to the way Nathan chose to go because I was not the 'Child of God' like I should have been. I got influenced and I have guilt. I feel like some of the youth that were there when I was growing up that if I had been the young person that God had wanted me to be that some would still be there today! It is so important to be what God wants us to be. Not because we will go to hell if we disobey but we never know the impact that it will have on others. And looking back, I never thought that some of the youth around me would turn away from God. But if I could have been the strong one and spent time with them then some of the scars would not be there! To some I do feel like I owe them an apology and I pray that God allows me to make those at the right time. It could open a door up so who knows. But I am thankful for the one that did make it right!!! I know it was a relief to his family and his sister!!! And who knows maybe he can get someone else to get back and get straight with God!!!!

Change of subject: I did ask the question but I believe God laughed and shook his head, but the question I asked was can I move the picture below from my "WANT LIST" to my "NEED LIST" (up there with Mariano!).

No I am not going to buy it. One of my friends is looking at but I thought it looked really sweet and it is YELLOW!!!
