Waiting on the Lord
Hello Friends!
We continue to wait on the Lord for His perfect timing with our move. Today the Lord reminded me of the verse that says, "The Lord loves those that put their trust in Him." WOW! He loves me because I trust Him! I chose to trust Him even when life circumstances don't match what He has spoken to my heart. Joe and I were talking the other day about how God is always bringing us to this place of trusting Him when there is no physical evidence that we can put our hands on.
The children have been busy with school work, packing and helping at Grandmas house. I had the children take their year end test and everyone has done wonderfully!!! I am so proud of their hard work and praise God for such a peaceful school year. I am going to be buying them the next years books and have them go ahead and get started early since we don't have the ranch activities to keep us busy this Summer. The children and I are also planning on taking a trip through California and using it as a time to learn California history as well as visit friends and family. We will see how the Lord directs us- it really depends on if we have enough time here before we move.
Bekah is enjoying a trip to TX with grandparents and is learning a great deal! She said she really enjoyed the J.F.K. museum as well as the rodeos. She actually got on a bull that weighed 3000 lbs and had horns that spanned over 9 feet!! I found that to just be amazing!!!
Jed is in NJ visiting the young lady he is courting. He called me this morning to let me know he was enjoying his visit and planning a day out with his young lady and her momma. I trust that the Lord is letting Jed be a blessing to their family and he is being blessed as well by them. It's hard to believe he will be 20 this year isn't it friends?
Well, I had best go for now. The little ones are all playing outside and I don't want to miss hearing their laughter!
We send our love to each of you!!
With much love,
Mrs. Joseph Wood

Posted by a1health Mrs. Wood,
How did you convince your son that courting is the way to go? My stepson is 14 and for 2 years has been obsessed with girls. He has admitted to kissing them and he got a lecture for hugging his girlfriend at school by the principal. He thinks I am being ridiculous and old fashioned when I mention he needs to go slow and to court. What do y'all define as courting and at what age should they be dating?
Thanks!

Posted by rildapeel1 Thanks for the update my friend! I know what you mean about trusting the Lord, can you imagine what Noah was thinking by going against what people where saying and seeing by their natural eyes? His eyes were focused and God didn't and don't fail. Hallelujah, I am rejoicing that all is going according to His plan. Blessings are positive and bring more more to us when we think that way so I am sending lots of them your way for your alls bless it day too. You Are Worthy!!! Lovingly, rilda *U*
