Bank Holiday Monday!

Well it is another beautiful and bright morning. We are off to see our friends in Falkirk. I hope the weather stays good!
We had a good night last night with our friends from Gorgie Mission who come for supper. We chatted extensively about evangelism. I had heard a sermon earlier that said probably the greatest sin we commit as Christians is the fact that we don't tell others of the Jesus we have found. He said that 90% of Christian American men have never once shared the gospel. We spoke last night of the need of prayer. Nothing gets done except we pray!
Well I'll update later with the pics! For now here is another one of us!
Keep praying and sharing and putting Him first!
Love Eliz.

"More photos of you!" I hear you say?

This is one of my favourite photos taken yesterday. The friends who took these photos did it out of the goodness of their hearts and gave us a gift of their time and talents. If you are ever looking for professional photographers these folks are great. When they get their website up and running I will put on a link. The company is called Lampros and the folks are Mac and Shona.
We had a good morning at Sunday school. As we are doing the fruits of the Spirit we are now on peace. We were all in the boat when the storm struck. "Who is this man that the wind and the waves obey Him?" The Disciples said, Jesus was dynamic. When He spoke things happened. Wouldn't it be great if we could say that of us. The Disciples had that kind of power bestowed upon them. Nothing gets done except that we pray and then we will start to see miracles happen! There's a book called, Don't just stand there pray something! Lets increase our prayers and see God move.
Speak tomorrow! E. xx

Models R Us!

Had our photo shoot and all went well. Except for the fact that the youngest girl in the family wasn't in the mood for smiling!!! I guess at that age it is hard to put on emotion but she really looks glum for most of the photos. Also I am on a diet as they say the camera never lies! Jelly belly me then is starting a healthier eating plan tonight! I do eat well and healthy mostly but my weakness is crisps! It has to stop.

I love the fact that God loves us just the way we are warts and all. I also believe though that although God loves us just the way we are He loves us too much to leave us that way. He wants us to change inwardly to be more like Him. Outwardly we are all different yet inwardly we all have the same need of Jesus! Sunday tomorrow! Time to change, don't wait till Monday to start the diet of Bible reading and prayer for your everyday diet, begin now. There's no time like the present!

Too Little, Too Late!

Well it is Saturday morning and there are 10 minutes until the girls art class begins and we are all still in pyjamas! We had a small rush in attempt to get ready but it really was too little too late and we quickly realised that we are not going to make it. To be honest I am not even sure it is on this week as this is the Bank holiday week-end. We are going out for lunch to our friends house so we all do really need to have a bath!
I hope you have a good relaxing plan for today and that God richly blesses you with opportunities to speak of Him. I will be in touch later, God willing.
Love Elizabeth.

That Friday Feeling!!

We're back from the big city. Here are the pics.
Guess where we had lunch?
Princes'Street was pretty busy! We didn't really manage to get what we went for either. Never mind have found it in the Faith Mission bookshop and Carole is picking it up. Her and I are meeting for a coffee and a blether while the girls are at One Way club.
I read a great quote last night from the book I've been telling you about." A life that requires very little faith is not a life that God will use. When we are willing to embark on a life that requires faith, we are more aware of God and His ability to provide for us in every detail of our lives. We won''t wait until everything in our lives is in order and then decide, okay now I have time to work on living by faith. We will never have everything in order, and faith can't be dispersed like a can of soda from a machine. Faith is learned through life. Through the messy and unpredictable everyday events that often stumble us, we become aware of our desperate need for God".
The Bible says that all we need is faith the size of a mustard seed and we shall see mountains removed. Sometimes though it means moving the mountain rock by rock ourselves but we can deal with it as our faith in our supporting, loving God carries us through. That kind of faith changes the world, one person at a time!

Beautiful day!
We girls are off shopping today, It's a hard life but someone has to do it! My mum lives in Fort William and so I have to go and get her a couple of dvd's from the Christian bookshop. We are very fortunate now with the amount of Christian literature that is available to us. We do complain how expensive it is but if we work out how good it is for us then I think that many times good books and dvd's and such like are worth it!
I am enjoying scrapbooking and even the girls want to have a go!
I am watching the news and it has just said about a little boys funeral today. He was 11 and he took his own life. How does life get that bad that a primary school boy kills himself? One of our young mum's in the Church is having quite a crisis of faith after hearing about that terrible event in Austria with a man hiding his daughter and subjecting her to attacks. She wonders where was God in all of this? There are so many things we can't explain or understand, the only thing I could say was that we should be so grateful that God has saved and changed us and our families have the greatest opportunities to live happy and contented lives. Sin causes damage and just look at family life all around. We have to live the life and show people there is another way. In fact He is the way, the Truth and the Life!

One door closes another one opens!

My friend Ailsa that I was meant to be meeting this evening for a bite to eat, got her dates mixed up and so was busy this evening. She is pregnant so I forgive her lack of diary skills. However as one door closes another opens and Marian invited us over for tea. She even took the girls early and I got a chance to clean the house. It was absolutely necessary!!!
We saw Vikings, Romans and Victorians today at the museum.


I had a small problem in that I threw Jonathan one of the "Roman" pennies and he missed it. It fell down one of the cracks in between two exhibits! I was ill! This is Jonathan fishing for it with a pamphlet and a bic pen! Thankfully he did manage to get the penny back. Phew!
See you tomorrow. Love Elizabeth.x
