I hope this morning you feel well and can make it to church. I always feel better when I can worship with fellow believers. I encourage you to listen to the words of this song. We sang it Wednesday night without instruments and I almost cried. It is so beautiful.

Jesus, lover of my soul
Jesus, Lover of my soul,
Jesus, I will never let you go
You’ve taken me from the miry clay
You've set my feet upon the Rock, and now I know
I love you, I need you,
Though my world may fall, I’ll never let you go
My Saviour, my closest friend,
I will worship you until the very end
This is one of those songs that I can sing over and over for hours and it never get's old. I sing it like a prayer, I can sing it while the doing the dishes or driving down the street or when I am on my knees and just do not know what to say or how to say it. Sometimes, I just need to say Jesus, I need you. I believe in my heart that he knows my needs before I voice them and is just waiting on me to say them to him.
What song brings you peace, what song can you sing as a prayer?

My week needs HELP
Good morning Ladies,
I fill like I have not been around in a while. Things have been busy in a good way but the next week is going to be even busier. Hope got sick and had a asthma attack on Tuesday. Rob had her at the doctor’s office for over 4 hours. Tuesday night the boys had scouts. Wednesday Michael had counseling and Wednesday night I went to church. We are doing a book study on James and WOW am I learning a lot. It seems like everyone in the group is so biblical smart that I just sat there and drink in their wisdom. Thursday morning I took Hope back to the doctor for a follow up. The doctor was amazing. She really explained to me how serious Hope was and encouraged me to never wait so long again. She said she thinks the asthma attack was brought on by a cold and we may never see asthma again. If we do then she will send us to UNC for testing. I am not worried. Thursday night the girls and I had heritage girls. Friday morning we got up and went grocery shopping for church. Only this time I shopped for three events. It was interesting to say the least. Then we left straight from there and went swimming. I found out this week that we can go swimming on post for free. The water was warm but not perfect. I think that is because the day before was 69 degrees and Friday it was in the 30’s. We left the pool and stopped by the chapel to drop off some of the food. Then came home and finished putting away groceries (I keep a lot of the church supplies at my house). Then we cleaned up some. Rob got off early. As soon as he got home we made pizzas for dinner. I tried baking bananas. They were not super yummy although the kids loved them. Then we played skip bo for a while and then watched a movie. I snuck to bed before 9pm. We accidently left the back light on behind the house which made me wake up several times thinking it was daylight.
Now it is 9am on Saturday and we are entering a wonderful crazy week. Hope is the only one awake so far which lets me know everyone stayed up late. Here is my week.

After small come home and make sure the house is cleaned up for the new week. I am sure I am forgetting some things. What does your week look like. Okay well it is now 9:20, that means it took me over 20 minutes to write this. I think I will definitely print this out.
I am making a variety of flavors of cupcakes and then will fill them with a coolwhip/pudding mix and ice with homemade frosting in a variety of colors. Saturday will be red/white and blue. Sunday will be iced with pink icing and then I am using heart sprinkles and heart shaped marshmallows for a Valentines Day themed.
My children also need to make 50 Valentines Cards for the very next Monday.

Homeschool Journal
In my life this week...
We were scared and scatterbrained. My eight year old woke up on Tuesday having a asthma attack. It was her first. I am use to it with my 5 year old but not with my I have never been sick girl. She is better now but when I took her in yesterday for a follow-up the doctor reminded me that this was serious and how close she was to being put in the hospital. It is like day and night now and she is back to herself.
In our homeschool this week...
My son finished up English for the year. He finished up Literature last semester. I do not have the guts to tell him that they were only one semester long. It encourages him to finish up the year.
Places we're going and people we're seeing...
In March my men are going with my father in law to the mountains for a week. I am so excited for them to be able to do this. I love that they have time to be together and build bonds to last a lifetime.
My favorite thing this week was...
Opening the windows and letting the 69 degree weather clean out my house of all the coughs and sneezes. Listening to my daughter read. My children have all been late readers and when they get it I feel like I am doing something right.
What's working/not working for us...
Somehow we have not gotten multiplication down to a science. I have got to work on this .
Homeschool questions/thoughts I have...
Do you take your kids out during the week to shop or run errands. I do but I have heard several people say they do not because they feel like it is school time.
A photo, video, link, or quote to share...

Mil Spouse fill in Friday
1. Since most of the country has had nasty weather, what has your weather been like this week?
This week has been crazy. One day I opened my windows to air out the house because it was 69 degrees and now we have to keep a fire going because it is in the 30’s and we wonder why everyone is sick.
2. What is/are your best money saving tip(s)?
Making my own laundry soap and dishwasher soap. I love it and it works great on my husband’s PT clothes. The recipe is right here.
3. What was your favorite vehicle you’ve ever owned??
I know it will sound funny but it was my Ford something or another. It was white and small and new. My first new car. It made me feel like a adult.
4. What is a question you’d like to see asked in a future fill-in? (Your question & blog just may appear one week!)
Do you plan on being a military family until retirement or just serving your time? What do you miss most about being a military spouse (like living close to family)? What would be your dream move?
5. Fill in the blank: You might be a MilSpouse if….
(I will be including some of your answers in a future post (with a link to your blog, of course!)
If you know how to change a tire, make it sound like your husband is in the next room when someone knocks on the door or a stranger calls.
