April is coming to a close...

Wow! Almost the end of April. The girls and I are working hard to finish up our school year this week. The last day of videos, homework and final quizzes and tests. It's always exciting to wrap it up - all the hard work for another year. Trudging through and looking forward to wrapping it up soon - hopefully all by the end of next week.

The weather has been up and down. It was cool and we had some rain this weekend - which was needed. This week has been cool and overcast so far warming up to almost 80 and then cooling off some. I need to get out this weekend and do some weeding again. Boy, do they pop up quickly!

The girls have been attending youth events at church.

Sunday evening @ 6:30pm - High School youth group at Grace

Monday evening @ 7pm - High School youth group at Northwest

Tuesday evening @ 5:30pm - Baseball game - my nephew, Jack

Wednesday evening @ 4pm - Middle School Bible study @ Grace

@ 6:30pm - Quest kids at Northwest

Thursday evening @ 4pm - High School Bible study @ Grace

@ 6:30pm - Awana and Youth Group @ Timberline

@ 6:30pm - Gather service @ Grace (I attend this service)

I am glad for the many opportunities they have to learn and connect.

I had my SUV fixed Monday. More car repairs but the repair shop is very reasonable and I like them very much.

Well, on to the day and finishing up this week and month. Have a great Thursday!

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure. 100 Days of Joy and Strength. I was struggling last night. Darkness seemed to overwhelm me. The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope." Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;" II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light." Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." Psalm 27
