Girls day!

Posted in Unspecified

Hello Friends!

This last weekend with my Momma and girls was such a rich treat! We giggle and laugh at the most simple things and yet, we also encourage each other and set goals on how we can grow as handmaidens that horor Him! I have included a clip from one of the speakers that I thought you might enjoy.

I will share more as the Lord leads. There is so much going on in my heart dear friends and yet the Lord is holding me still and telling me to simply "BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD. " I must be "growing up" because I am not fighting Him and my heart does have great peace to simply wait knowing that He is in control. I will share soon...

With much love,
Mrs. Joseph Wood

Praise God it is all about HIM. For He is the true inspiration and reason to build on for generation after generation. Thanks for sharing.... my friend and i yesterday was talking about this very thing. It will perfectly show her what I was saying. Thanks for sharing for now I will share too. How great it is when we know who we are and who's we are and that is OK that others don't understand Me as HE.

Funny Things My Children Have Said:

After several trips to the emergency room with my Timothy. I said, "Timothy, you really must stop hurting yourself like this. Each time we go through that hospital door it is costing Daddy 100.00!" He sweetly replied, "Is there another way we can get in Mommy?"

As Ezekiel and I poured over the garden magazines we ran across the brussel spouts. Ezekiel had never seen them before and with excitment said, "Momma, Look! They sell bite size lettuce!"

As we prepaired to vacume seal our newly butchered chickens. My Beth-Joy said, "Mom I know we want to seal our chickens but I can't figure out how we are going to get that chicken through that skinny slot!"

Rebekah was blessing me and cleaning out my pj drawer when she came across a new bra that I had purchased. In all seriousness she said, "Mom I just can't figure out why you would buy a bra thats only good for 18 hours!"

Jed was about five years old when he ran out to the kitchen and met me with excitement saying, "Mom I think God made my wife last night! I counted my ribs and now I am missing one!"

Matthew and Samuel were playing when the girls and I overheard them and couldn't help but giggle. Matthew wanted to play house and have a baby but Samuel informed him that, "You can't have a baby, Matthew- you're only a 2T"

While driving I often lose cell phone reception with my Joe. I never realized how much the little ones were listening until one day I overheard them say, "Mom and Dad broke up again!" "No Mommy broke up with Daddy" replied Matthew. "No! It was daddy. He broke up with Mommy again!" Replied Sammy. As I listend I thought it was a good thing no one was ease dropping into their coversation- they would think my Joe and I had a pretty rocky marriage! LOL

While on one of our "girls days" Bethany was having a hard time falling asleep. Grandma encouraged her to count sheep. After a few moments of slience we heard Beths sweat voice say, "Thump" We all thought about it for a moment and then Grandma asked, "Beth what was the thump about?" "Oh, one of my sheep ran into the fence.. that's all Grandma." We couldn't stop laughing for at least an hour.
