What A Ride........

Wow is all I can say about the month of September.  It has been crazy busy.  New business, kids activities, wedding, Church, bible study, CSL and all the other things our family gets into. I have definitely failed miserably when it comes to keeping our family blog updated.  I think my husband has quit even checking to see if I have updated it. :(  But through all of the craziness, I must scream from the mountaintop how blessed we are.  God has had his hand on our family this month.  I know it and can feel him.  My mom continues to improve and prayers have been answered.  Our new startup business is growing leaps and bounds and God has surrounded us with the right people to make it happen.  I can never thank some of them enough for the help in getting started.  Our friends are our family! 

At one point in time I was journaling in somewhat chronological order the fun things that our family participates in, well.....throw that idea out the door.  I have missed adding on here some exciting things so please forgive me if the next few posts seem out of order and a little dysfunctional. 

Don finally got to enjoy his gift with his friend KL.  They had a great time at the Georgia/Boise State Chick Fil-A Kick-Off Classic at the Dome.  I am so glad he got to share it with his long time friend and also somebody who appreciated the game too.  I think if Don had taken me I would have just been a waste of a good ticket :)  They enjoyed staying downtown and all the people watching too.  It was really funny that they ended up having dinner with some of my old high school friends...your likely to find those Chatsworth people just about anywhere. 

Cross Country season is well underway for Tyler and he is running his tail off this year. We are so proud of him.  He continues to take time off and received effort of the week a few weeks ago from the coach.  I have a few pictures that are not so wonderful cause I get to excited and forget to zoom in and they run by so fast, it's really hard for me to get a great picture.  I hope the team mom is getting better ones that I can snag from facebook.

This year continues to get better and better and we are so thankful for all our many blessings. As for me.....my new bible study has just began a few weeks ago and boy is it powerful.  Jennifer Rothschild is amazing and I know I want to be that woman  who is clothed in peace and grace.  The study is Me Myself & Lies.  We all could use a thought closet makeover.  I know I can anyway.  I am concentrating more and more on what I let into my thoughts.  Focusing on positive and pure thoughts is pleasing to God and has a profound effect on the person I am.  My hope and prayer is I will remember Ps 19:14 and learn to follow as it says "Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer".  The ladies in our women's bible study are remarkable and I am learning so much from them.  As the busyness surrounds our family, I pray that we not lose focus on WHO and WHAT is important.
