Backdraft - prayer request for girls - from Krista's blog:


Backdraft is a school assemblies program where we go into the schools and do an assembly. We are not allowed to mention God in any way, which is a bummer, but we get to go in and provide some hope for kids and get in contact with them if they E-mail us or My space us. Then what we say is free game.

The one we are doing on Monday is all about the power of choice. You can all be praying for these assemblies. {All of the 2nd year students who are doing most of the music videos etc have been hurt at a youth all nighter! LOL} So be praying. We do two back to back on Monday at 11:00-2:30 western time zone. Nick, Shelly, and Josh are speaking. Rena, Tim, and Lance are giving there perspectives (testimonies).Bre (my girl), Esther, Nick, Trevor, Lance, and I (my girl) are doing a music video. At the second assembly, Bre (my girl again), Eric, Lance, Trevor, and Tim are doing another music video this one is violent so pray for safety especially Eric’s. Then Nick breaks bricks.

{Uh – violent? Hmmm….last time Bre did one of these she was totally black and blue from all the falls she took in practice…but it was powerful.}
Quips or Quotes

Jared (12) - Upon hearing that we were going to watch *Nicholas and Alexandra*: "Is this another one of those OLD 1990's Chick Flicks??? :::snort::: 90's old? I'm ancient I tell you.

Jamin (15) - After watching the above mentioned movie: "Have you ever noticed that there is a bad wife behind every tyrannt?" Ummm...I took offense to his comment. He began to give me examples....Ahab, Louie the whatever, Charles, Nicholas, Hitler (mistress)....All RIGHT already! Of course this is making me think of the importance of being a Godly Helpmate....but I'm not ready to type that up. I need to go work on I John. However, since my computer has crashed I have no where to store my 1/2 formed thoughts...and if I don't put them somewhere...they leak out. :::snort:::
I finally made it on to the Thanksgiving TREE!!! Yippee! Cy is thankful for Dad and MOM!!!! That's me!
Sunday ~

Religious Education, Cheddars, Nap, Chapel Service, Ice cream - that's it.

OK....maybe I can fill it out a bit more than that.

Jamin made the dough for 7 15 in pizzas and 3 pan pizzas...tucked safely into the freezer. He's been working on adapting my Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
He uses white chocolate, almond flavoring and almonds. Yumm!!! Cy made a "monster cookie" with them tonight...I made a "mini".

It's been a bit of a "blah" type day...not a bad day...sort of a low energy day. At 7 weeks of Mike being gone, I think it is setting into my psyche that this is NOT going to be the normal 4 - 6 week trip. I feel a bit unsettled thinking of how much time is still left before he is home. It's when your husband is gone that you realize how much of your strength you pull from him. This is good, because God is wanting me to draw it from Him. I miss him.

I tried to call the girls and my folks and can't reach them either.

Please understand that though this is a low energy, high emotion day - I'm still deliberately choosing joy.
