God is faithful....

Just a quick catch up... It has been like over a month since I have posted something....  even though the Lord has been speaking and I have been learning and I have wanted to POST... HE has not had me to that point.

I always want to make sure, it is HIM speaking as I believe a few people read this ... besides myself... and my daughter.  Or at least I hope a few do read it.  Ha ha.

10 things..

1.  God is faithful cause no matter what, HE makes all things new.  Our lives in the Pritchard house are a bit different and yet very much the same.  WE have adjusted to a new place and trying our best to figure out the next plan .... building a new home.  It has been fun to dream, but yet we don't want to be working and killing our selves for the next 20 years to pay for it.  Just saying..  

In February of this year, God gave me this:   Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy!  Psm. 126.15.

Planning a home has been some of the joy!

2.  Taylor got a tatoo -well, I am not  THAT pleased with it but she is an adult.  An adult that only pays her insurance.... and her car payment... and now she is paying her schooling....  so.....  anyway, she still amazes me.

3.  Hunter finished his R3PL.... and they are the CHAMPS!  We do regionals in June....  then Nationals.. hopefully a soccer filled summer!   He is s Junior---  turned down an escort position for Homecoming, and spent over 1/2 of his allowance on one weekend to see some DJ.... go figure.  However,  his grades are great!

4.  Many people around me are being attacked by the Enemy -- oh.. I so want to squish him like a bug and I will get to watch it..   at the end of his reign - GOD wins!      In the meantime, I call it a privilege and an honor to serve HIM and pray for them..        Isaiah 30.19 says He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry.

5.  I am MOST thankful for the little things as HE has been most gracious. HE has.  Things are not yet where HE wants them, but they are moving forward, praise God that the past is forgiven and slowly being forgotten!  Amen.

6.  2 Peter 3.9 says:   The Lord is no slow in keeping His promise as some understand slowness,  HE is patient with you ... me.... not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance -- therefore, I will rejoice in the lost ones around me and continue to pray for them.  Amen.

7.  Bella .. has adjusted to the new place, she was 4 years old last month.  Brendan even speaks about getting another one -  can you believe that?  No way!!   No more puppies.... even though Bella is the smartest and best dog after Whizzer ( who by the way is still alive -- almost 15 and living with Marilyn and Lowell ) but, we have 'been there, and done that".

8.  Romans 12.12  Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer.    THAT is for you -- for me... for many.   Faithful in prayer... Thank you Lord for helping me to be faithful -- and it won't stop.

9.  My job.... I LOVE it.........  what a tremendous blessing - just new people, new challenges, and the chance to really teach and have the resources -- what a neat thing.  Not that my 21 years in Okeechobee were 'bad'... no way - praise God for my mentors and peers there -- Okeechobee is blessed and so is PECS!!  

10.  My walk... thank you thank you thank you ------- I raised the $2300  and did the walk with blisters that did not totally wear me out.  It was a glorious weekend of fun but also reflection.  And it was an Encounter with God-- HE spoke loudly to me while walking!

And so -- that is my catch up --   Psm. 32.8 says  The Lord, says,  "I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.".

Amen.

Lord,  watch over me... I believe something is about to break open again -- and I am getting excited - excited.  Not sure what - but thank you.  You know the secret desires... bless them Lord,
amen.
