Last weekend, at church, we had a guest worship leader. Jon Baur. At the end of service, he had CD's for sale. I didn't buy one, I couldn't afford it. He also challenge everyone, to choose a card of a child to sponsor for $36 something dollars a month. I didn't even look, definetly couldnt afford that.


Now, this same month, let me tell you some things that I could afford:

an $85 purse
a $22 matching wallet
$187 of clothes for me (on sale)
$120 of clothes for my kids (on sale)
about $100 + of eating out
about $25 + of dollars here and dollars there
..........................and thats just off the top of my head.

..............it just doesn't make any sense.

answered prayer

A few blogs ago, I prayed about being off work sundays. I've been praying for that continously. God answered, by starting a childrens service during the saturday night worship. I still have to leave my kids on sundays. But I found it easy to take them to grampas sometimes, or uncles, or a friend, or get off once in a while.
So, that being a major concern in my life has diminished quite a bit. I feel that God did answer this prayer. In a way I didnt expect (as usual). Actually, I feel that this prayer will be answered in full in time, he just made things alot easier until it happens.

Z 88.3 contest

If anyone knows any single moms (hint, hint). Z88.3 is choosing 100 women for a day of pampering w/childcare included. You just have to go to thier website Zradio.com and click on "a single moment" and tell them about the single mom that you know. (if i knew how i would have made one of those cool "click here and here links" like everyone else does)

Lake Eola

On Monday, we spent the afternoon at Lake Eola. Me and my boys, Nathaniel, and Brandi and her kids. Everyone had a good time. So much fun with the swans and birds.


The swans were very friendly. They would
eat right from your hand. ... and bite your
finger too.



Davis was a little nervous at first, but he
soon joined in.

Darius and Nathaniel got to hold a snake that

a man brought. (fun - i guess? )

Ooopps!....someone got pooped on!

Live Bait!

I think this one wants to be a model!
