Is this working?

Monkying around ... what they do best!

So, I have been trying to figure this out for the last four days ... let's see if I finally "get it".

There of course is so much to share today because this is my first post that may actually make it to the "post". Ha ... gotta love how I try to know technology!


Yesterday I tried to share how the Lord has changed my heart over the last six months. When we first moved down here to Bishop I was a bitter, bitter wife. I hated it here. I did not ever try to attempt to like it. All I wanted to do was go back to College Station or Montgomery. I secretly cried myself to sleep some nights longing for the comfort. One night I explained it to CR as "permanately being away at camp". That was how I felt. Then the Lord humbled my heart. Why in the world was I complaining and being depressed? I was married to such a loving man who tried his hardest to comfort my heart. I had a roof over my head. I had food in the fridge to make wonderful meals with. I was able to decorate our house to my likings and to make it feel as homey as possible and here I was crying out to the Lord to somehow let us be able to move away. Why? Because I was looking at all the bad and not letting the silver lining (thank you Stewart Little 2) be seen. When I finally got my prayers straight and asked the Lord to work on my heart for the here and now, what an amazing revelation I had. All the good that I usually seek to find in every other situation finally shown through! Everyday got better and better. The Lord had opened my heart and eyes once I decided to humble myself and hand it all over to Him.

The last three months we have had the priveledge of taking care of my niece Kyleigh. Elizabeth decided to try out Texas A&M University Corpus Christi to finish up school. To help her out, Aunt Lala volunteered to teach Kyleigh through home school curriculum. We have been working on Kindergarten material and she is coming along at a reasonable pace, learning slowly how to read and write our most used words, learning about the phases of the moon, and spending lots of time with her Tio on the combine or cotton picker.
