I loved reading about all the lovey dovey stuff. i think Hugs were the thing I missed most and found hardest to recieve when my husband was away. Thankfully he's home now so I'm getting my fiar share. having four children helps with that too. What interests me about myself is that when I'm stressed or uptight or even just hurting, I reject hugs and dont want to be hugged. I think this might be a self defence mechanism on my part as hugs make me vulnerable. The taking time out stuff was good too. i think sometimes we feel guilty for taking time out for ourselves but I know that there are times when I just need space. My family sometimes find it hard to understand this and I do not always use my space wisely. I love the idea of focusing on others when our needs are high. i actually did this when Steve was away and found myself really blessed and helped by it so I highly reccomend it.

Thank you Nikki. As your son shared with you, it just spurs you on to find more moments to promote intimacy with your children... is a wonderful statement that you shared. As I can only trust Valerie to now make the right choices in her life, I know she wont always. The most important thing I can do for her to build her trust in me, and to show her my great love for her, is to allow her that opportunity to also trust she can talk to me about different things with out persecution. That does not mean that she will get approval on all things, but rather than beat her down for sharing things I may not approve of, I hope to be able to share some wisdom that will allow her to move forward making her own choice without my judgment against her. I know she will not share everything with her Mother, I still don't with mine! The other day she started to share something with me, and then refrained. I said, "Valerie why don't you want to share what ever is on your mind?" She said, "I don't know, just better perhaps that I don't." I said, "Well that is your choice, but I hope that you remember, that you have shared some very personal secrets to me in the past, and I think you know that I can be very understanding with out persecution of what you share. I only hope that you know in your heart that when you need to share with me, you can." She agreed and opted to go ahead and share with me what was on her mind. It was really nothing alarming nor anything that needed any advise or wisdom to be shared. Simply normal teen thoughts that we often as adults trivialize as to not be important. But if it is important to her, her thoughts, her feelings, it is important. The most important lesson we can share with our children, is to let them know, they do matter to us, in all things, in all aspects of their lives, they are important and maybe if they understand this from us, they will not shut us out so easily.

I am not sure if this is going to be an answer to your question or not.

1) You have to actually be logged into your google account to view your calendar here. It will only allow those who have permission to view your calendar to view it, if you are not logged in, it doesn't know who you are.
2) To add new events, etc, that needs to be done on your actual google account. Unless, you already have an event showing and you want to edit it or make changes on it, that you can do from The Power House if you are logged in.

The real benefit to having the Calendar showing here, is the ability to share it with others. We can all manage our own calendars without the need of one being here. However, because you have granted me permission and likewise to share calendars, I can visually see anything that you have added to your calendar. As well, if you have something on your calendar, I can also click on that event and add things to it as well. Not that there is any reason to do so, but it is giving that option to share.

If you add Jeannie and Nikki to share your calendar, they could also view your calendar, which I would suggest that to be a great option if you all wanted to share your goals.

I think the calendar would make great use when recording daily menu's as well.
Let me know if this answers your questions.

There's question 1! The night of the 4th we go to our church parking lot that isn't too far from where the city puts on a grand fire work disply. I sometimes make up a lot of homemade snacks and the church will have water that I pass out to everyone that comes, church member or not.

PRAISE GOD!!!

I pray that you have a wonderful and safe trip! You are heavy in my heart with prayer Tony. A prayer was recently answered to me, in regards to my prayers for not only you, but for everyone, including myself, and my family. So often when I pray, I know that each one of us have specific needs, so how do I pray for such needs? I can pray for God to end ones suffering, however, it may be the need of suffering that brings that person to God's will. As I was watching Charles Stanley early yesterday morning, his message, sharing with us the ultimate prayer to pray for all, it covers all things, all needs, but must be prayed diligently.
I am posting that prayer in our Serenity, Courage, Wisdom page, please know that I will pray this prayer for you and all others in this group, with out ceasing, and please pray this prayer for me too!
