Hey Wendy!!!

I know I can't say much, b/c I've been slacking about getting on here too. But we all do miss you. I hope that you and your family are all well. Take care and God bless.

Peace and Love,

Hello Wendy ~ You have been so missed and it was nice to hear from you. Thank you for all the advice and encouragement. It comes at a time when we really need it. Jay is special, your right. And sometimes it is even hard for me not to get frustrated with him over his learning. Not so much the ADHD but his learning disability. I wish I could say I handle things right with him, but sometimes I know I fail. I am getting better though. I don't push him as much to try harder cause I have realized with the help of his specail ed teacher that he is doing the best he can. And I have to praise him for that. I was thinking of all those things you have mentioned too. Mainly the homeschooling one. But I am not a teacher. I do not have the patcitence to do that. Therefore I know I would not be good. I get frustrated to easy when it comes to little things like 3+2. I was trying to find someone in my area that would be willing to school him if it comes to that. I am glad to see that you have your priorties right. I am trying real hard. So thank you for your prayers. I am glad to see that you and your family are doing well and keep us posted from time to time. Please don't forget about us though. We all love you way too much. So even if it is only once evr=ery couple of months. I am okay with that. Love Ya, Bonnie RIC

Thanks so much for adding me as a friend, I am looking forward to getting to know all the new friends I am making here. This is such a wonderful site and it lifts my spirits each time I log on.

Yes 8 children, it is not the easiest thing in the world, but I love it, I love being a mom.....I believe that is my purpose in life......I am due with my 9th. on December 31st. I am so excited, I believe that children are a wonderful gift and blessing from God, and I thank him every day for making it possiable for me.

I had endured a lot of hardships with my last pregnancy and I am praying that this on will be stress free and no complications......so far, so good

God Bless,

Jackie

Hello Wendy ~ It has been a few since I have been on but wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you and hope all is well. I have been alittle busy and having some issues latley. But I know God is working in me and for me. I took a big leap of faith and stopped watching kids except for my sister. But I feel that was what God was calling me to do and I have been putting it of for so long casue I was letting other people influence me to keep doing it because of the income. But yesterday I finally said no and gave it to God and I know He will take care of and provide for us. Things seem to be going in our favor for the house so keep praying for that. Well, I have to get some house work done as we have a Celebrate Fern's Life today. He was a friend of ours who died last Sunday on His Harley. A ninty year old hit him and his passanger is still in the hospital, so if you could pray for her, her name is Laurie. Take Care and keep me posted on how you are. Prasie God for helping me and not giving up on me and all His Love for me! Blessings to You, Bonnie RIC

Hey Wendy-

 It's all good. One of my favorite sayings is that when everyone agrees, it means that no one is thinking. And God made all of us different for a reason, b/c a world where everyone is the same, and worshipped the same, and had the same moral views would be quite boring. As I said earlier, we are both women of faith and are trying to serve God to the best of our ability. Anne said it best when she said (this was quite awhile ago), that while One of us drives a Chrysler, another drives a Toyota, and the other drives a Mazda, it's all good b/c we are all driving towards God. She was saying it to compare denominations within the Christian faith, BUT it's also true in the way each of us, as individuals honor God, including our friends of other faiths. We may not beleive and worship as they do, BUT they are still belieivng in and worshipping God. And, in my humble opinion (don't laugh tooo hard....lol) if you are making every diligent effort to use your life to honor God to the best of your ability, then your heart is correct, even if/when your actions are not. Anyway, I have to go now. I hope that you and your family are all well. Take care and God bless.

Peace and Love,

Donna

Hey Wendy-

I hope that you will read the comments I made on the Coffee Talk board with an open mind and an open heart. I am very sorry if I have offended you. Even so your views are considerably more conservative than my own, I still have a great deal of respect and love for you, as I do for all of the TCW ladies, and hope y'all feel likewise.  When I made the comment that seemed to offend you the most, it was meant to state that we are ALL sinners before God, and it is God's grace, through Christ's death and resurrection that we are able to be our best selves, and even ATTEMPT to live lives of goodness and Holiness. The point I was trying to make is that we ALL(both you and me included) fall FAR short of the standard of Christ, DESPITE our most diligent efforts to the contrary, which was the reason of God taking the form of mankind as Jesus Christ, and Christ's crucifiction and resurrection. Well, i hope this better explains where I am coming from. I hope that you and your family are all well. Take care, and God bless.

Peace and Love,

Donna

Thanks Wendy ~ I know how crazy itcan get, trust me! But I am so thankful for you because God always knows when you are needed here and you always encourage me and it helps so thank you. I can not stay on because I am watching kids at another house and even though they say it is okay for me to use the computer I feel kinda funny doing so. I hope to be busy all week with my sister. She will be here tomarrow from MT. I am so excited about that and worried,lol. It seems every time she is home there is a death in the family. It is hard to explain but it is like God knows when she is gonna need to be home. Well, he does but I just pray all goes well but if something does go wrong I will be glad she is home. All my love, Bonnie RIC

I hope all is well with you.....not to crazy busy..LOL!!! I just thought I'd drop you a line and let you know that I find your posts very interesting and inspirational..I have faith and belief in the Lord, but you make me want to shout it from the rooftops and be so much stronger in my convictions...I have a tendency to be wimpy and not very verbal....you have challenged me to be a better christian and to stand up for what I believe in, regardless of what other people think.....  So...thank you, from the bottom of my heart....thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God Bless!!

Keep smiling!!!!!!!!

Jackie

Hey Wendy,

 I am doing pretty good. The new job is going well. The money could be better, BUT I am learning new skills, which will look great on my resume, and when i apply to social work school next year.  I am glad you and your family are all well. I have been busy here too. Take care, and God bless.

Peace and Love,

Oh Wendy Dear ~ It has been far to long since I have been to your page! I so miss you too! I am doing okay. I am putting my trust in God with the whole babysitting thing. I wasn't at first, I have to admit, I was worried about the money and the loss of it. But then I realized God is not gonna let me go without. He will provide for my needs, maybe not my wants,lol, but my needs. And that is truely all I need! Sometimes it just takes awhile to see things clear, you know? That is why I have such great friends like you and the other ladies here on this site, to help keep me on the right track. So thank you! The home bussiness is going okay. I actually just went to a meeting the other day and I really feel that what I am gonna try to do is throw myself more into the company and getting my GED. My hubby said he would help me study so I pray that God will just lead me. And that I will be smart enough to take His Lead! I am excited about you coming to MI. Although I live in the thumb of MI. Real close to Bad Axe. If you look it up I am sure it will be too far for us to get together although it would be so nice. I would love to give you a big hug and to meet your hubby and family. My sister is also coming around that same time from MT. So I am real excited to see her. She is the one that is married to the Pastor out in MT. She is alot of my support. Well, I need to post on a few other pages so I am gonna close but I would love to hear about that great confrence you went on! Love you too Wendy, God Bless, Bonnie RIC

Hey Sweetie ~ I see you are on and I just wanted to say how much I miss you. But that I know how busy life can get. So I am not saying that to make you feel bad, so please don't. But how are things going for you? I am sure that you have seen how things are going for me on coffee talk. So I am not gonna get into that right now. I was glad to get to church tonight and I am praying that it will help get me through the rest of the week. I hope that you and your family are well and I hope to hear how things are going for you. Love In Christ, Bonnie RIC
