Being Moses

In Exodus Chapter 4, Moses and God were having a conversation that seems all to familiar to me....

10 Moses raised another objection to God: "Master, please, I don't talk well. I've never been good with words, neither before nor after you spoke to me. I stutter and stammer."

11-12 God said, "And who do you think made the human mouth? And who makes some mute, some deaf, some sighted, some blind? Isn't it I, God? So, get going. I'll be right there with you—with your mouth! I'll be right there to teach you what to say."

13 He said, "Oh, Master, please! Send somebody else!"


I have been feeling for some time that I need to step up and lead a certain ministry, but my lack of trust that the Lord can do anything through me has been holding me back. I have said time and time again to God, "I don't talk well in front of a crowd and I am certainly not good at leading prayer". I am slowly learning to give my life over to God completely and trust in Him fully with everything. "With God all things are possible" is a verse and concept that I know well and have said to others in the past, so why do I keep finding myself doubting.

I am doing a bible study right now that is making things so much clearer to me. I am very thankful that it is being offered at this point because it is exactly what I needed! I am hoping this will give me the push I need to do what God has been asking me to do!

Ready for Autumn, Pumpkin Patches and playing in the leaves!

We have been having an early autumn this year. We have been enjoying temperatures in the 60's and 70's and the leaves have been starting to change. It just makes me that much more excited about Fall activities!!! I have started decorating my yard with harvest decor and have looked up the schedule at the local Pumpkin Patch to see how early we can go enjoy that! LOL I love LOVE LOVE Autumn!!!

Some of you have been asking if we experienced Ike or not. We did! It came through here Saturday night-Sunday. It actually combined with a tropical depression that came off the pacific and also a cold front. Saturday we actually had to take cover in the basement because the tornado sirens went off. We had no tornado but the storm had produced tornadoes that had momentarily touched down prior to getting to us so it was a precautionary measure. We also got LOTS of wind and rain (like 8 inches)over night which caused flooding near us. Everything is back to normal now but there were some pretty strange stories on the news! Like one man had been walking his dog on Monday and came across a crayfish... it had been picked up by the Hurricane and dropped down here in Kansas City!

Here are some new pictures:
