Prepare yourself, it's a long one. :)

Another day, another post. :))
Well Travis and Dad came in Thursday night.
We had revival Wed, Thurs,and Fri.
That was cool because then Travis was able to go to church on Friday night. Been having good revival with Bro Bellew (sp?) He is such a good preacher and has been preaching awesome messages.
So anyways back to Thursday. We picked up the guys at the airport at 9:35pm after going to church, then we went to Applebee's and ate and caught up on everything.
Friday I had Tyler so we just went and did school shopping. Got the boys some school shoes and back packs and I had the school supply list for Dallas already but Coda's teacher hadn't put his out yet so we got all the stuff Dallas needs. Then we went and ate at Red Robin. Ty was so funny, I got him a little kids cup of water and he drank the water then I put the ice in his sippy cup with some more and gave him the little Red Robin cup and he put it right on his mouth and sucked in until it was stuck on there, he just looked so funny. More because we were surprised he could do that and him only 18 months old. haha so then because we laughed he was really cutting up to try and make us laugh more.
So after eating we went over to moms because they had borrowed our truck so we had just traded vehicles with them so had to take them back thier car. Got there and they were all out riding so we went in and played some Wii, Travis hadn't played before so he played Wii Fit since that is our #1 game and did really well and knocked everyone's scores off.
Christi picked Ty up there and then about 4:40pm we headed home to get something to eat and get ready for church. Went to church, had a great time and then over to moms for Pizza and Cheese Dip. and of course more Wii. haha
Saturday Dad and Mom picked us up and we went and ate at FuddRuckers. It was very good. Then we went and hung out and Dad and Moms till about 6pm or so I think it was, then mom took us home and we got Travis' bike all loaded up so he was ready to go and about 8:30ish we headed downtown to watch the fire works. spent about 15 minutes looking for a parking space for our big semi and finally decided to contribute to a church fundraiser and park in their lot for $5.
Got down there and ran into Todd and Keola and Sis L Neumann so we sat with them. Travis bought some kettle corn. Watched all the fire works and then hung out there in the town till about close to 11pm. Figured we may as well sit out there and visit as sit in our truck in line to get out of town. Leaving from there after fire works is a mad house. One year we made the mistake of parking in the parking garage and on the top floor no less since that was all that was left and ended up taking 2 hours to get out of there so we didn't do that again. So anyways made it home finally close to midnight and all crashed into bed.
Travis got up at 7am this morning and headed out with Dad and Mom on the bikes.
Dallas was up and so he got in the shower and I laid back down and I was so exhausted and didn't get up till about 8:45am so then I had to get ready in 30 minutes. I of course was late for prayer and that is not cool. Froze to death in church which wasn't a bad thing today though, since I was so tired I think that's what kept me awake. haha
Bro Bellew preached about the midnight hour. We are in that hour, the last hour. God is coming soon and time is running out. I hope we all make sure we are prepared for our time could come and any second. We are not promised tomorrow.
After church I went to Wal-mart to do some grocery shopping and the teller asked me if I go to church, then asked where and then if I was Apostolic. I told her that yes I was and where I went, and invited her to church. She said she works on Sunday so I told her we were in Revival. She said her aunt used to go to my church but now she goes to a different Apostolic church and you know how some are different and the one her aunt goes to now that they wear pants there. But that she knew about my kind of church and wanted to know was I raised in it, I told her that yes I was and she asked did I ever leave and then go back. I told her no, I have stayed with it, because it will all be worth it in the end. She told me that is good because she knows there are some that want to just go out in the world and just try it out, but she said, its not as fun as it looks. I wanted to just drag her to church with me. She knew all the things even though she hadn't been to church but yet there was something holding her back and it made me terribly sad to think, perhaps someday she will remember the conversation she had with a little short chubby girl with 2 boys in Wal-Mart and wish she had just come to church with me. And makes me pray that I did all that I could to get her to come. That there wasn't something else I could have said. It also goes to show that there are people out there that know and that see me and know that there is something different about me, and I don't ever want to forget that and not act in the way that is right.
Well anyways now it is time for me to get ready for church. We have asked our neighbors to come with us tonight, they are thinking it over. I really am hoping they will come. I am not good at bringing visitors, it makes me extremely nervous but I do want to share what I have. It will make you happier than anything to have what I have. God is all that keeps me going sometimes. And its because of Him that I have all that I have. I couldn't make it without him.
