Isn't it interesting how you can have a fabulous Sunday and the devil attacks full force on Monday?  He doesn't want us to have any victory at all.  What are we to do?  We are to tell him to take a hike, we have the VICTORY......devil get thee behind.  I woke up this morning in a kind of haze....just blah.  I have had one of those mornings that I can't get motivated.  We need to do school and I want a movie day.  I need to overcome that and just get busy.  I don't need to be a lazy person.  What a silly battle. 

On a lighter note, the kids have quite the lizard collection (only 2).  We got home from church yesterday to find out someone left the cage slightly open, these critters saw this as opportunity and escaped unbeknown to me.  They found them but that is one thing I said cannot happen.  I do not want reptiles loose in the house.  They didn't get far but yuck.....now they keep going to where they got out.  Pretty soon, they will figure out how to open the enclosure.....lol.  I told the kids they have to find the critters food today though.  It has been chilly so no crickets.  They will do better fending for themselves in the backyard.

Well I suppose I should kick start this day.  Have a great day with the peace of the Lord!

Ok 2 days in a row!!!!  Is that amazing or what?  I think Janis may be the only one following me these days since once upon a time I decided I liked facebook better.  That was dumb.  I deleted that a while back but the person who hacked me is still out there from what I understand.  They use my picture ( I am wearing a teal/bluish shirt and white vest).  What are they gaining from this?  I know they are friends with lots of church folks so beware, turn them in as not me please!!!!!  It is frustrating because I can't turn them in without giving fb a copy of my drivers license, not comfortable with that AT all! 

34 weeks along in this pregnancy and I am sick as a dog....haven't really stopped.  I have been in bed most of today and want to get up but then I get sick.  YUCK!  I really want to enjoy food longer....this has been tough and blessed at the same time.  I have enjoyed this little one growing so much, it is hard to describe.  I love all of my children but never really appreciated the whole process.  God has given me that chance in my "old" age (old according to the medical field but who is listening to them anyway).  I need prayer with these last weeks and the birth please.

God is blessing so much in ways that some may see as simple.  He provides before we ask and he has a plan that we have a peace about when no one understands.  (hard to explain)  We are in a new city with a new life!  This life is so different from before and requires our dependence on Him.  In the flesh, it is easy to feel overwhelmed but He gives me an overwhelming peace.  I love it!  Isn't God wonderful? 

Part of our new life here is the kids have become lizard wranglers.  They are catching all they can in the backyard.  Lizards, snails, bugs......nature beware, the Clark kids are on the loose. 

I will sign off for now.  If you are serving the Lord, may His peace fill your life.  If you are not, why not give Him a try.

I sooooo need to update this blog.  It has been a very long time since I posted anything.  This blog needs a facelift since our life has changed so much I think the blog should change with it.  God is so good.  He has been meeting needs before we ask.  Isn't God awesome!!!!

Hey all. I am at Sis. Janis checking email and stuff. We have been doin well, really enjoying school this year....we are now studying the middle ages. I have been bringing in the first BTI course to explain the time of apostasy the two go hand in hand. It has been fun, I am learnin with the kids. Well, I gotta run just wanted to say hey to all who still read blogs.

to host a cold or a game night that is the ????

Ok, my mind was a bit foggy from my cold when I last blogged. To answer your question Sis. Smith, I hosted a game night....no one was interested in the cold! : ) But all, y'all would be soooo proud, Sis Janis, yes you read right, Sis Janis and I had some mom's come over for a game night. We played mad gab and laughed and laughed. Sis. Janis is a no good cheater but we still survived. I met my match for one who has a knack for remembering absolutely useless trivia and unfortunately she remembers every song from the 80's.....not good. No it is not sis. Janis, she is so sweet and wholesome and was never corrupted by the 80's. This gal is new to our homeschool group and is only a year younger than me, she is married to an ex-saddle bronc rider so our circle of knowledge is very close. Seriously though, pray for her and her family....they have church hopped some but her hubby is a true red neck so there hasn't been a church he has fancied. I told her he needs to meet Daryl, though not a cowboy but a true country boy/tarheel/red neck! Sis Janis see potential in this gal but the devil has already been working at a wedge! Typical! Her daughter shared something with the girls she should not have, we are afraid to go to the mom. What was shared was serious if it was true, if not true it is still really bad. Sis Janis is afraid we could offend, I see her point but I also am worried about what was shared. Please pray for us.....PRAISE THE LORD!!!!! ( I felt I needed to put that)

Have I shared lately how I hate how the devil is sooo in movies lately. There are so many good plots out there that are ruined by foul language, nudity and just crude junk. Even the so called "family films" are subtily corrupted.....it is sad. I know movies are not a necessity...Daryl says read the Bible or watch Ken Ham or our Moody Science movies, you see I have a problem sleeping, so I put on a mindless movie to lull me to sleep....guess what....doesn't work. When I read befor bed, I want to finish and understand what I am reading....the same with the "good" movies we have (not that we have bad....I have been pitching many of our movies because of something that bothered me....I got rid of 2 of the love comes softly series, one because of bad language another because of suggestive language) I guess here is a second prayer request....just spouting off my frustrations.

OOOh had an idea, do any of you know what a renga is....It is a story....I would start with one line.....you add one line.....the next person adds a line and so forth wouldn't it be cool and nerdy to do one on a blog.....for those who don't know we are Christians so keep it clean.
Here we go

The cold of the night envelopes me like a cocoon (your turn)

that was weird....i clicked when i should have tabbed...can you tell i txt too much....no caps no punctuation nada.....so i was looking back and no comments on the last 3 blogs.....i guess everyone is facebooking which i can't do at the library....oh well.

So it is men's retreat this weekend....what are we to do.....I wish ladies retreat was more than once a year....I so look forward to it. Well, since we don't have anyone but janis and I on this side of the state.....we are having a game night with the mom's from our homeschool group. It should be fun if I get over this nasty cold.....I am hosting so I better get well and get the house in order. Any of you ladies want to venture over here you are so welcome to...it would be great!!!! I am gonna have to sayTTFN gotta scat, cat. I need to get home and take a nap!

so its a new year
