I'm going to put some of the things out there (here) so maybe someone will ask me about it and I'll finally GET THINGS DONE/STARTED!!!
1. I really want (need) to start a Genesis study. I am about to just do it with Mike. I'm not saying it's bad to just do it with Mike but ...I was hoping to get some ladies to do it with me but I'm having a tough time getting it together. Too much STRESS in areas of my life right now that I can't think sometimes.
2. I really want to come up with a plan for the basement. It's a MESS. It's mostly the kids playroom but as they are getting older their needs are changing and so our the needs of our family. I want to sit down and sketch out my plan and then do it. What will be the best use of that space?
3. I really want to clean out my jewelry armoire. Not a big deal but I feel SO unorganized. It's time to get rid of some things- this is true for many areas of my life/home.
4. I want to re-evaluate my daily schedule, GET IT BACK UP ON THE FRIDGE, and make sure to PEN-in our family devotions time. IF IT ISN'T ON THE CALENDAR IT WON'T HAPPEN!!
Something you can be praying about- Abigail has expressed the desire to be baptized. I don't know when, or how, this will happen but I want to keep it fresh in our minds. I am trying hard to encourage her in her walk with the Lord. Such a tender-hearted girl, very sensitive towards God and his word.

Ava has been asking to baptized since last February, but we were afraid she was too young. Now, both kids are asking. We talked to our children's pastor and she was willing to consider it for Ava, but I'm still not 100% sure. She understands it, and she seems to be ready for it, but her age is causing me to wonder. It doesn't matter right now since she wasn't able to attend the kids' baptism class at church on Sunday (she had a fever). It's going to have to wait a little longer.
Hi Amy! It's Gayle (you know, Mia and Lexi's mom; that's my identity now).
I just had to comment about Abigail - she is the sweetest "thing." Her heart is very evident. I've thought since I knew her name how much it fits her - "father's joy." She loves her Daddy and brings Him joy and His joy in her draws her to Him.
Personally, I'd think it would be great to see her wish to be baptized fulfilled. Even as a child, her heart knows what she wants-to be identified (unified) with the Son unto the Father, and what joy that brings Him. Well, I just wanted to say that. She is a joy; all of your kids are beautiful. :-)
p.s.-I've been baptized a couple of times - once as a child, twice as an "adult". I just love it.
