Other Happenings and Blessings!

There is much going on here at the Scott household, besides my first grandbaby on the way! Our ministry is up and growing, and I see God's hand in everything! It is so amazing! Everything is for a purpose. I praise His holy name!
Much is to be done and is required of us right now. Including sacrifices. Please pray for us as I know the enemy will be about to tempt us to stray from the right path.
Our homeschool plans this year seem to be so perfect, like everything just fell into place. I am very excited about what God is doing there also.
I am praying too for friendship. I need a friend right now. I have many online and homeschool friends, but none I can really connect and be close to it seems. Know what I mean? I would love a friend to talk and hang out with, who has the same intrests as me. Maybe we could do some cooking together, walk together, or whatever! I think I just need an encourager. Anyway, that is one of the things I am praying for.
Well, I have to go now. Too much time on the computer!

Blessings,
Donna Scott

Thank you

Thank you so much for your prayers and encouraging words. I needed those, and I think C.J. does too. I think right now she feels ashamed and like everyone is condemning her. Know what I mean? She needs to see God's love and forgiveness right now. I hope to show her that. Her mom is not going to be there for her, but then again she never has been. I will be here for her if she needs me. I honestly think the dad will eventually skip out on her, and I think she feels that way too. I hope not though. Let's just keep them and this new little precious one in our prayers.

Thank you so much my dear friends,
Donna Scott

Announcement

Well, I have news to share. In some ways this is good news and in other ways it is bad news. I honestly am still in shock and not sure how to feel yet. But, I know God is in control.
So, here is my news, I am going to be a grandma. Yes, you read that right. A grandma. My step-daughter C.J. is 5 months pregnant. She waited this long to tell me because she knew I would be upset. But, I just love her so much. She needs your prayers. So, please pray. She is only 17 and living with her boyfriend(the baby's daddy). She would not live with me because of my so called strict rules, and I had no legal power to keep her here as I am no longer legally her step mom and I do not have any control. Both of her parents don't care. It is sad. I cared, and I loved her, but it still wasnt enough. She says she knows now, but she has a long road ahead of her now. She was offered by her mother to have an abortion but luckily said no that she felt that was wrong.
Pray for her, the baby, and us as a family. Thank you.

Happenings

Well, a lot has been happening here at the Scott household. Summer has been busy as expected. We just finished VBS, which was a big hit with the kids. They really enjoyed it.
The teenagers are, well....being teenagers. It is so hard to protect them anymore now that they are 17 and 18yrs old. I mean they still have to follow the rules, but they are older and making more and more decisions on their own, and I have to trust that the way they were raised will help them make good decisions. I still worry. But, I stand on God's promise that teach a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it. God will keep them.
My husband has felt led by God to go into ministry. This is not something new, other than now he is being obedient to that call. Since comitting to this we have been under great spiritual attack. (like I didn't know that was coming) He is looking into finding a seminary, which seems to be difficult to do. He does have some Bible study background, but mostly personal. I too have felt for a long time that I had a call on my life to help others and lead them to Christ. I also believe that is why me and Bruce are together. It was all part of God's plan. He is such an awesome God!
Well, it is late I will end this post here for now. I will post a new slideshow and then it is goodnight.

Goodbye Phoenix

We lost our beloved bird, Phoenix today. Not sure what happened. We are all sad, and will miss him greatly. The kids are especially upset. Tabby being the one that found him in his cage, and Rachel because it was originally her bird. Rachel is not handeling this well at all.

He was beautiful, funny, and entertaining. We loved him and will miss him. Goodbye Phoenix.

Are you ready for summer to be over?

Actually, I do wish for summer to be over. I am ready for cooler temps, and school! I am not a summer person, but I LOVE fall time! It is too hot to do anything right now, we have been in a drought, and I am just needing a change of pace.
It is nearly time for our local curriculum fair and I always get excited about starting a new school year around this time. What about you? What are your plans? Are you enjoying the last days of summer?
My kids are in Vacation Bible School this week, and are loving it. So, that part of summer is not so bad, but until cooler weather comes, I will be sitting over my air conditioning vent! lol

Hello!

I am sorry it has taken me so long to post. Been busy, and we have had some sickness in our family. I hope everyone had a great 4th of July celebration.

We gave away all of LuLu's puppies but one, and the kids finally convinced Bruce to let them keep it, but he said only if he gets to name him. So meet Caesar Magnus the newest member of the Scott family.
