Whew! What a week!

I am so thrilled that it is the weekend! We have had a crazy week. A lot of you know the college had bit of a water leak, which praise the Lord, the damage could have been a lot worse. Monday, the children did not have school- in service for the teachers. Bradlynn was able to go with me to work to help answer phones. (Amelia had a group touring the college- which I still don't understand how she did that! She is amazing when it comes to giving "tours" of the college!) Bradlynn was tickled to death that we were able to answer phones from "THE" office! Then, as if that were not enough for her, it began to snow! The flakes were absolutely beautiful! I am not for snow, but something about the twinkle in her eyes, the continuance on her face, was impossible not to be contagious. Tuesday began with no school...snow. We enjoyed our day at Jilly's. Wednesday...totally crazy. All the water that the college had, the fans were still blowin to help 'dry things out'. Thanks to Korski, aka Mr. Steve Sikorski,(what Hunter and Chase refer to any of the Sikorski's) my computer was up and running, at least we thought it was. Let me rewind a bit. See, where my desk sits, there was no electricity. My second week of work, they had to brake the tiles, hammer out the cement, dig a trench just to be able to run the electrical wires underground to my desk. They ran all the wires thru the white plastic tubes, not really sure what the proper name is but, that is how they were able to get electricity to my desk. Anyway, because the circular 4 prong outlet is based in the tile, the water actually seeped thru the outlets and filled the trench. So after a shop vac full of water, the adapters replaced, my desk was good as new! I am so ready for a week without drama!
There is one last thing that is really amazing! Today my friend and I went out on visitation, we were able to see one person come to know Christ! She and I were so excited and still are. Please keep her in your prayers, her name is Ngozia. She is planning on coming to church along with her kids. I tell ya, this was the greatest way to end my week! I serve an AWESOME GOD!!!!!

It's done!! Most of you know that for Christmas Bradlynn really wanted an American Girl nightgown. Sadly, the AG web site, had all the character girls nightgowns sold until March 2009, yes, March. We had a couple of friends that went to New York and Atlanta, still, no gown. My mother suggested why not make one... why I didn't think of that sooner, I have no idea! Here is the finish product! I have to admit, I really like the "homemade" night gown better.(It was a lot cheaper too) We used a flannel material and added a little bow, she loved it, I love it, nanna loves it- that's all we need!
I think these past few weeks, Bradlynn and I have been in the craft mode. Another little desire of mine for this year is to memorize more scripture. A dear friend had posted on her blog that she, with several other women, are committing to memorizing a verse on the 15th and the 30th. She is placing them on 3x5 cards that are spiral bound. Bradlynn and I thought what a great thing we could work on together, actually be accountable to each other. We decided to take it a step further, we are making verse journals, hence the picture of her with all or scrapbook materials. We have had great time making these and have had a better time keeping each other accountable on our verses! Well, that's all the crafty news from the Busby hive! Hope you have a great week!

2009!

Happy 2009! After a lot of cups of coffee (may I recommend Luzianne coffee, this is my new fave and it has a hint of chicory ~ very yummy I might add) and all the pondering that I have done on ideas or I should say desires I have for myself and my family for this next year, I would like to share a few of Jodi's desires ... usually I like to choose a verse for myself but, this year I am choosing a chapter, Psalm 27. Pastor has also asked us to choose a book of the Bible for the year, I have narrowed my choice down to two, Esther (if that's not a given) and or Ruth. I would also like my children to have a closer walk with God, for myself to look past those dark cloud days and see the SONshine in everyday, to have God reveal Himself and His truths to me, to be more of a witness for Him. I want to be able to look back at 2009 and see how God has truly worked thru me. I can hardly wait to see what God has in store for me and my family. I server a great God and I pray that each of you will take some time, over the next few days, whether by yourself or with your family and talk about what you would like to see for your family in 2009. May God be real in each of your lives! ~jod
