I really have a hard time believing it is already January 7th of 2010. It is so cold here, the high temp is supposed to be 24 degrees with the windchill putting the actual temp in the teens and tonight the high is to be 14 degrees with the windchill in single digits. The kiddos' did not have school today and tonight is my night to keep the girls so I am hoping no school tomorrow if it is 14 degrees outside. Of course I have not been to the store and don't have much in the house to eat so I really need to go to the store, but can probably get by if I have to. At least we are just dealing with bitter cold and a little wind unlike the blizzard up north that had 90 mph winds and dumped 44 inches of snow.
Monty left on Monday morning and I will have to say I was pretty worried about being here again by myself since he had been home for over a week, but all has been okay. I have been really busy with stuff at church and of course spending time with girlfriends. The Lord is good to provide what we need right when we need it.
My new Bible Study, "He Speaks to Me", by Priscilla Shirer begins on January 13th. I am so excited to begin this study and get some new insights into listening to God when he talks to me. I learned so much through Priscilla's study "Discerning the Voice of God", so I am anxious to start this study and learn more about communication with my Saviour through studying His word. He is speaking to us, we are so busy listening to other things we fail to hear his still, small voice. One of my favorite verses in the Bible is, "Be still and know that I am God." In our daily busyness we forget to get still and let Him speak to us. How sad that is because He should be the one we are wanting to commune with more than any other.
We found out yesterday that Ian's surgery to have two cysts removed from his head will be on January 19th. It will be approximately a 2 hour surgery and then he will stay overnight in the hospital. We will all be glad to have this behind us. It has been a taxing time but we are choosing to trust our heavenly Father to keep him safe and well and provide healing for him. We will also be welcoming baby brother a few weeks later on the 10th of February, so Mr. Man needs to recover quickly from his surgery to take on his new big brother roll.
My youngest son begins training for his new job on Jan 11th, so lots of things going on in Deb's world this month. 2010 has been a great year so far, can't wait to see what else the Lord has in store for us this year.
