Weekend Wrap-up {March 8-10}

First of all, how is it March already, let alone almost the middle of March?!

I'm glad for more sunshine and warmer weather, but man! This year seems to be flying by!

Secondly, I thought I would update on how my reading is going.  I started a read-through-the-Bible-in-a-year on June 1st last year.  It started with the NT and now, I'm in the OT.  I just finished up the book of Psalms this morning. I love that book!  I'm almost halfway through Les Miserables now.  I'm having a hard time finding time to read it along with the Bible, Bible study, Sunday school reading, and a book I'm reading on IBS. I guess slow, but sure wins the race!

So, now on to the weekend.

Friday, C Girl received a Leader of the Pack award for adding more details to her writing!  We are so proud of how hard she is working!  She gets to have lunch with her principals!

Friday night, we had planned a homemade pizza, brownies and game night!  We played Sorry (the kid's and Tim's favorite kid game right now) and Scrabble Jr. After the kids went to bed, Tim and I watched a movie together.

Saturday was a kind of day we rarely have.  We only relaxed at home and did not go anywhere!  We played out in the backyard some and just hung out together.

Sunday, we went to church, ran to Walmart, I made snacks for the week, and relaxed even more!  We have all had allergy/sinus issues going on, so it was very nice to have a low-key weekend!

During church, our worship leader led us in Chris Tomlin's song, Whom shall I fear?

I know who goes before me 

I know who stands behind me 

The God of angel armies 

Is always by my side 

The one who reigns forever 

He is a friend of mine 

The God of angel armies 

Is always by my side 

Wow.  To hear the words, and to think upon the fact that the God who reigns forever, that He is a friend of mine is nothing short of awe inspiring.

Lyrics:

You hear me when I call 
You are my morning song 
Though darkness fills the night 
It cannot hide the light 

Whom shall I fear 

You crush the enemy 
Underneath my feet 
You are my sword and shield 
Though troubles linger still 

Whom shall I fear 

I know who goes before me 
I know who stands behind  

The God of angel armies 
Is always by my side 

The one who reigns forever 
He is a friend of mine 

The God of angel armies 
Is always by my side 

My strength is in Your name 
For You alone can save 
You will deliver me 
Yours is the victory 

Whom shall I fear 
Whom shall I fear 

I know who goes before me 
I know who stands behind 

The God of angel armies 
Is always by my side 

The one who reigns forever 
He is a friend of mine 

The God of angel armies 
Is always by my side 

And nothing formed against me shall stand 
You hold the whole world in Your hands 
I'm holding on to Your promises 

You are faithful 
You are faithful 
You are faithful 

I know who goes before me 
I know who stands behind

The God of angel armies 
Is always by my side 

The one who reigns forever 
He is a friend of mine 

The God of angel armies 
Is always by my side 

I hope you all had a great weekend!  I'm on my way to the Revenue office (boo) and then Parent/teacher conferences and a haircut!  I'm so ready to get my hair trimmed and get these split ends under control!  AND only 5 days until Spring Break!!!
