ooooh- boogers!

Hey friends,
I've posted before about my wonderful teenage daughter Anna, but I'm calling you all to pray for her. She's going through a very rigorous conditioning program and training in preparation for the freshman volleyball team. Tryouts are Aug 1, 2 and 3rd. I'm claiming that in Jesus' name she will make this team and be a wonderful leader and example for Christ! This is very heavy on my heart. She had a minor set back this past week with a lower leg muscle injury and she needs prayer for complete healing so that she can get back to the conditioning on Monday morning. I've kept in touch with the coach, but the bottom line is that Anna must be in good shape by tryouts and everyday is valuable.
As for me....not so good of a day. I ate too many brownies after the Father's day dinner that I made tonight in honor of my dad. What has been my deal lately with brownies??!!!!
I'm listening to the sweet sound of Evan, Johnathan and Abby playing the game "Life"....ahhh...i loved that game when I was their ages! I'm not sure how my life is portrayed to others, but this is such a sweet moment for me because there is no fighting. Just laughter, giggles, silly noises, high pitch screeches of excitement, chitter chatter..etc. I absolutely adore my kids and value the precious moments with them. Pray against satan's schemes to discourage me with their bickering and fighting...this is when I feel most desperate and baffled. Sometimes they say the most ridiculous things to one another to cause a stir. For example, today in the van I hear Evan yell "Mom, I'm about to puke!" (He was literally gagging). "Abby just wiped a booger near me!"
Abby starts defending her poor decision by saying " I had to wipe it somewhere because it was really gross and I was about to puke!" Really? Really? Are my kids wiping boogers on anything but a tissue? How repulsive!!! The sad thing is that I was laughing so hard that I couldn't pull myself together to even look for a real tissue. All that I could do is reach down and grap a crumpled up old receipt that resembled a tissue and passed it to the back seat of the van. Evan continued to truly gag as Abby dealt with the unruly booger!!! Gross!!!!!!
