Internet And Blog Troubles..

It has been an interesting couple of weeks. As you may have noticed, I am having issues with my blog. The layout isn’t showing up properly. After trying to correct the problem myself, without much success, I sent an e-mail to the wonderful and talented Tracey from Little Bitty Design Studio. Tracey is the one who designed this beautiful blog for me. She is doing her best to find the solution. Thank you so much Tracey!!

We have also had internet connection issues. After much aggravation of the connection dropping us every 5-10 minutes, I called the tech guys at the cable company. They said it sounded like the modem. So we were given another modem to try. So far, we aren’t being disconnected every 5-10 minutes. It only happens about once an hour. Which I must say is better than before. However, they will now have to send someone out to check the cable outside of the house.

I never really realized how addicted I was to my laptop until I couldn’t write a blog post, check out other blogs or even check up with others on facebook! However, not having access to everything online has freed up a lot of time to take care of other things. It has definitely made me think about how I spend my time. I will be making a schedule for myself now and will be limiting my time on the computer. I am definitely going to get my priorities in order.

Talking about how much time I spend on the computer makes me wonder how much time others spend on the computer. Do you only allow yourself a certain amount of time every day? Do you schedule time throughout the day to do your computer work or do you get it done all at one time? I would love to hear from others on this subject!

Blessings!

Seeds of Faith – iFellowship!
iFellowship

I am always excited about iFellowship. Why? You can meet up with some awesome women who love the Lord. I also love to share scripture with you that has spoken to my heart throughout the week. I missed last week because I was tending sick kids. So I have several verses that I want to share. However, before I do, I want to tell you a little about how I came across these verses.

Several homeschool moms that I am in a group with got together to pray last Tuesday morning. To pray for our group and to pray for the families in the group. You see, this summer quite a few families have had issues, loss of loved ones, accidents and other situations to happen. It was almost like our homeschool group was being attacked spiritually. We felt the need to come together, to lift up God’s name in praise and worship and then to lift up our burdens before the Lord. While we were praising God, several moms read scripture. So this is where those will be coming from and the meaning behind them. I also ask that you would continue to remember our homescool group, Great Smokies Christian Home Educators in your prayers. Our goal is to be a light to other homeschooling families. To show the love of Jesus as we educate our children at home.

Now here are the scriptures I we shared with one another on that blessed morning.

Philippians 4:6
6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
John 16:33
33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
1 Peter 5:6-7
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, 7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
Psalm 91
Psalm 103
Ephesians 1
Psalm 27
Psalm 94:16
Isaiah 60:1-4
Acts 10:38
Zephaniah 3:17
John 16:33
Philippians 4:6
1 Peter 5:6-7

It was a truly amazing time of prayer with those wonderful ladies. We are looking forward to doing it again. I encourage you to read your bible. God has put everything in there that we need to know.

I also want to encourage you to stop by Seeds of Faith. It is a wonderful group of women who love the Lord and wants to encourage you all. Be sure to stop by those who are taking part in iFellowship today. I know you will get a blessing out of visiting them!

Multitude Monday #436-446

Another week has passed us by. I am so thankful for the week that God gave me. I was able to do several things that I am hoping to be able to do in the future. Please join me as I thank God for all the blessings He has given me and my family. Before I share my blessings, I want to share with you part of Psalm 66.

Psalm 66

                                   1 Shout for joy to God, all the earth; 

 2 sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise! 
3 Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies come cringing to you. 
4 All the earth worships you and sings praises to you; they sing praises to your name.”  
 Selah 
 5 Come and see what God has done: he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man. 
6 He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the river on foot.There did we rejoice in him, 
 7 who rules by his might forever,whose eyes keep watch on the nations— let not the rebellious exalt themselves.  
 Selah
