Life Is A Gift!

I can not begin to describe life as it is.  There is one word that Jesus' used that sums it up for me, "ABUNDANT".  I am learning so much, and it's almost like I just can't learn enough.  I have been listening to a CD that was given to me a few weeks ago.  Dr. Bob Vallier visited our church and he had an extra copy of Dr. S M Davis' CD entitled "Messages for Ladies Collection".  It took me a little while to use it.  The thought crossed my mind on the way home of the night he gave it to me; "Why did he pick me to give this to?  Did I do or say something that made him think I needed to hear messages for ladies?"  It is funny now that I have listened to some of them.  I know now, that he was simply doing what God told him to do, and I am sooo thankful.  God has really blessed my heart, humbled me, shown me just who I am and who I could become if I only let Him.  I think about how blessed I have been here lately and I just can't imagine being MORE blessed!  It's GREAT to think about!  I googled the CD that was given to me to see if it is sold online so I could suggest it to everyone, and found out that he didn't just give me some CD he picked up at the Dollar Tree.  You can purchase the individual sermons for around $6.50, or you can buy the collection for $27.95.  I highly recommend purchasing the collection.  It would be GREAT for women's Bible Studies and get togethers!  CLICK HERE TO VIEW AND/OR PURCHASE  Anyone who would like a copy but cannot afford it, please email me  leighann_neese@yahoo.com  .  These are life changing sermons that EVERY lady, young or old, should hear!
I have found, recently, that is hard to sit down and just write a blog.  I have sooo many things to say, and it seems there aren't enough words to express the things I want to say. Not to mention, time is not on my side.  The time I have during a day is so precious to me now.  More so than it has ever been.  I am so excited about the end of the school year ahead.  I am not excited about Rob being gone for 6 weeks, but we will manage with that.  Let me just mention right here that I absolutely adore my husband.  He is a special gift!  I wish I had heard the SM Davis CD a long time ago, but our marriage has just seemed to grow stronger here lately, and I like it!  :) 
We are so proud of Hunter for winning the Student of the Quarter Award!  He is also very proud!  Abbi is also doing well in school; she was so proud of a recent project that she turned in.  She had a poster to do on the country of her ancestors.  Normally, I help her with her projects, but she insisted on doing this one herself.  She did very well!  Fisher is also doing well, he will repeat his ABC's and numbers,both in English and Italian.  He can't quite do them all alone yet, but he is so smart!  Starting tomorrow, he has a neighbor friend that will be staying with us.  I am sure this is going to be an adventure for the both of them, and probably ME too!  lol!
I am signing off for now; we are meeting Pastor, Isabella, and the boys for dinner at church early tonight!  I just love our "throw together dinner" nights!  It makes for great fellowship!
