Off to Tennessee!!!!!

Hello,

I am going to Tennessee for a home school conference this week. I have gone one time before and I really enjoyed myself. I am going with the Tsantles (Auntie and Uncle). We are leaving today at about 2:00 PM. Our church has a Memorial Day Picnic every year so we are going to that and leaving from the picnic. We will get back Sunday night. It's going to be a lot of fun, we have friends going that I haven't seen in a while. I will post about it when I get back. I just wanted to let you know that I won't be posting for a while. Hope you have a wonderful week.

Blessings,

Saul Is Selfish

Last night we were over at Auntie and Uncle's house to celebrate Jabez's Birthday and it was the most beautiful birthday. He got a Bible and a sword that says Hebrews 4:12 which is about the two edged sword. We are all faithfully praying that he would come to know that Lord this year. We had some time in prayer and just encouraging him. It was really sweet and I think that this is a birthday that he will remember for the rest of his life. We were just talking about how Saul in 1 Samuel. The one thing that I got out of last night was that Saul was very selfish when he built the altar for himself and didn't do everything that the Lord had asked him to do. That is one of the biggest things that I am working on right now. I have been struggling with being selfish and thinking about myself before others. Please pray for me. I hope that this encourages you in this day.

Merry Heart Like Medicine

Today I am going to tell you about Proverbs 17:22, which says, "A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones." So, I know I don't want that to happen to me because I want to have a merry and cheerful heart for it is medicine to my bones. I like the idea of medicine to my bones. Lets work on that today, not having a merry heart for our own purposes but having a merry heart because God tells us to do. I pray that we would all remember this verse and I hope this encourages you. Have a wonderful day.

Update On Papa

Hello,

I just wanted to let everyone know that Papa is out of surgery and at home resting. He has his machine that he has to do a couple times a day. I think that the surgery went as planned, everything went well and Lord willing this will help him to be able to bend his leg more. It will be a lot of pain for a couple of weeks and will be very important that he uses him leg bending machine to keep it from getting it stiff again. Thank y'all for your prayers for our family and for everything everybody has done. Thanks again.

In Christ,

Papa's Birthday

Today is a special birthday of someone's and I am going to make a special cake. Today is Papa's Birthday and is turning a year older today. His Birthday is a birthday present from the Dr. which is another surgery tomorrow. His surgery is at 9:00 in the morning so he should be done around 11:00-12:00. The Dr. said that this isn't as hard as the first surgery, but keep praying that everything would go as planned. Thanks you for your prayers.

Braces Off!!!!!

I finally got my braces off after two full years of wearing them. I was so excited and it feels so weird. I love not having a bunch of metal in my mouth now. Or as Jabez would say, "Hi Brace Face" (he is just kidding). I go back to the orthodontist on Tuesday to get my retainer. I am so excited that I don't have to worry about putting rubber bands back in my mouth everyday. I will post a picture when I get one. I hope y'all are having a great day.

Update on Papa

Hello,

Papa is doing well with Therapy and everything else. He is healing good from the first surgery. He just went to the Dr. on Monday and the Dr. told him that he can walk without the brace on his leg with two crutches but can walk with one crutch with the brace on. He is still icing it through out the day and elevating it. Unfortunately he has to have another surgery next week. The surgery is schedule for the 13th of May and what they are going to do is hook his leg up to a manipulating machine and bend it and brake up the scar tissue in his knee. Then they are going to Manipulate his knee with this machine that they will look his leg up to and it will bend is for a while and it will be easier to bend. He will be sent home with this machine for about 60 days and will do it so often. The surgery will be about 1-2 hours. Papa keeps saying that this is his late Birthday Present because his birthday is on Wednesday the 12th. So just keep Papa (Ron) in your prayers as he is not looking forward to another surgery.

Guidance for the Young

Hello,

This morning I am going to tell you about Proverbs 3 which is all about the young. This is also one of my favorites because it covers everything. It just encourages me so much because the Lord put that in the Bible so that he could teach us so we can learn. When I read it I read the first verse and then I was like this is wonderful. It says, "My son do not forget my laws." which is something that I often forget but I shouldn't. Please work on this with me and try to work on this.I hope this encourages you to work on this and I hope that you have a great day.

In Christ,
Brittany
