Ginny - Ephesians 3:20-21

S - Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

O - IMMEASURABLY MORE! I love that! No matter what we can think of that would just be awesome, God can come up with something even better. His ideas are the best!

A - Verse 20 will always be one of my favorites. It gives me such hope! There is excitement in the verse to always look forward to what is to come.

P - Lord thank You for blessing me. Thank You for all the "immeasurabley mores" You have bestowed on me.

Yay for the good report on Sawyer & Knox! I hope the weekend keeps that theme :) Cindy, still praying for you and Jared and Owen. Hope it's a good, peaceful weekend. Jenifer & Amber - praying for y'all girls too! Stomach bug is gone and I'm headed to Colorado to visit a friend. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE!!!

Ephesians 3:20-21 - Karlyn

S - Now all glory to God who is able through his mighty power at work within us to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.  Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever amen!

O - More than I ask or think.  Why do I put God in a box?  I want to more fully rely on his mighty power that he uses in me to accomplish more than I can think to ask or even conceive in my mind.

A - For me to rely more on his power I've got to let go of control and what I think is best.  The first thing I need to think is God how do you want this accomplished or God this is what I'd like to do how can your power make it happen better than I can plan it.  I can't even imagine how my life would change if this was my daily approach!

P - Lord thank you that your power is infinitely more than I can ask or think.  Help me to change my mindset and fully rely on your power to accomplish what you want done in my life and in others!  Change my life Lord!

So...I'm exhausted but I'm so thankful because the boys have been so good at home not fighting, playing really good together, and just making me smile.  So thanks for all the prayers because I feel them!  Have a fabulous weekend, Ginny I hope there's no more stomach virus!  Cindy I hope you are recovering well.

Ginny - Ephesians 3:19

Good Afternoon Girlz!!! Happy Birthday Baby Owen!!!

S - and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.

O - God is love. So the best way to be filled up with Him is to understand His love for us.

A - I love the words, "filled up." I just think of something so happy it's bubbling over. Just can't control itself. I want to be filled up, so that I am just overflowing with Jesus's love.

P - Lord, in every circumstance may I show Your love. Thank You for loving me.

Ephesians 3:18, Karlyn

WOW!  I miss a few days and all of these things happen!!!!!  Ginny, so excited for all these "little"  things that are happening and that you are using yourself to share Christ!!!!  Sorry about Catholic boy:(  I know you desire to find who God has for you so please know that I pray for you and him always!  How terrible to throw up the whole time!  Makes for a good story.  If for some crazy reason he converted and you did start a relationship it's a great story to tell!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cindy....been praying for you all day.

Things are going good here.  Knox was doing great and then he started throwing a LOT of fits which he's never done before.  SO, I don't know if it's because of change or because he's getting older and expressing himself!!!!  So please pray we know how to handle him wisely so we can train him and not just get frustrated with him.

S - And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is.

O - My brain can't even wrap around this.  He provides everything we need and his love has no end.  I want to understand this in my lifetime but I think that I will spend my life just learning about and e
experiencing his love.

A - When I experience his wide, long, high, and deep love I've got to find a way to share it with others so they can begin to understand it...just like you've been doing Ginny!  I need to keep my eyes and heart open.

Ginny - Ephesians 3:18

Good Morning Girlz!!! Momma Cindy, still praying, praying, praying!!! Keep us posted!!!

S - may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,

O - God's love is BIG!

A - He loves you and me no matter what!

P - Lord may I live in the light of Your love today. May I extend that love to others.

Ginny - Ephesians 3:16-17

Good Afternoon Girlz!!!

S - that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love

O - God wants to give us good things, and these verses are full of some of those things He wants to share with us: strength, faith, love

A - It is becoming more and more evident to me how much faith and strength go hand and hand. Faith, is the world's eyes, can sometimes be viewed as a weakness or a nonsensible thing, but as far as the Lord is concerned nothing shows more strength than faith. Believing in that which is unseen.

P - Lord may Your strength, faith, and love be shown in my life. May others see You through me. Thank You for the opportunities You are placing in my life to share Your Good News and what you have done in my life.

Girls, it's still happening...Sunday I went to get my nails done. Hardly EVER do this. It was a special treat for all the throwing up I did with my 24 hour stomach bug :) Anyhow, got to talk to my little nail tech about the Lord and church. All these "little" things that keep popping up. It makes me overflow with joy!

Ginny - Ephesians 3:14-15

Good afternoon girls!!! It's President's Day and the bank is closed. I am sitting on my couch waiting on the bug exterminator to come. I love holidays!

S - For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in Heaven and on earth derives its name.

O - He is the beginning of us all. From Him we come.

A - What power and authority He commands. He is the beginning and the end, and just as verse 14 says, "I bow my knees." He is to be worshipped and obeyed.

P - Lord may I live in the awe of Your holiness every day. May I not lose sight of how incredibly awesome You are.

***Updates - So for a number of months I have been talking to this guy who lives up in Nebraska. We were connected through some mutual friends. Anyhow, he came down this past weekend and we had a great time. Great guy. Very nice. Not bad looking. Blah, blah, blah. Only hitch is he is Catholic and not looking to change and I am not Catholic and not looking to change. So, it was nice to meet him and we had a good time, but no go. The fabulous part is I got the stomach bug Friday night. I just blew it off, thought it was something I ate, and just grinned and beared it. However after throwing up twice, the second time being driving down the road and having to pull the pickup over FAST, I was convinced I was sick. I never get sick. The boy traveled 14 hours down here and now I am throwing up on the side of the road. Glorious. We, of course, found some humor in it and the rest of the weekend continued to go well, but it did make for some memories.

Hope your girls have had a great start to your week!!! Love you all!!!
