Got a text message from Hannah:
"I'm using those pens you sent every day in class"
I'd guess that was $7.58 well spent!

Excitedly Overwhelmed
Overwhelmed - Yes -
Excited - even more so!
Guess that means I am excitedly overwhelmed with the thought of raising $14,000 for a service dog.
So - trying to organize everything we have to get together - web pages, places to donate, pictures of kids, stories about the boys, letters, etc. AAUUGGHHH!!
~MORE TO DO~
~more updates, more links to click on, more cute stories...
~more doubt, more frustration...
~more prayer, more trust , more reliance on God...
~More of God shining through.

A prayer ... from a friend
It's been a while since I've blogged.
Life has been hard and busy.
What a blessing to receive this encouragement via email from a friend.
Would you join her in praying for us:
Heavenly Father, we acknowledge your majesty, power and sovereignty.
We love you and desire to serve you.
I petition you on behalf of my Brother and Sister,
Andrew and Karen
and ask that you pour out your Holy Spirit on the Beaty household and all its members today.
Cause them to feel your presence
and to find peace, rest and strength in it.
In your perfect time
and
by a miracle of your hand,
resolve any of the medical and emotional issues that do not and will not serve your purposes.
Exile the enemy from this household and use the remaining challenges to the glory of your name.
I boldly ask that you would bring practical support to this household through your Church.
House help,
meal ministry,
drivers,
yard workers,
book keepers and accountants,
laymates,
mentors,
teachers,
tutors,
medical assistance,
volunteer therapists,
handi-men,
and all other manner of practical helpers,
Lord, move in the community around the Beaty’s to bring all this.
May those that rise up be committed
beyond the moment
and provide enduring, consistent, diligent and intentional service.
Throw open the barn doors of your care and provision for the Beaty Bunch ministry
and love on them like never before
offering respite,
solace
and encouragement
in accordance with your will
and as a witness to your ability to do all things.
Thank you for what you will do
and for the opportunity to grow in faith
as we bring our requests to you.
Amen and Amen!

Saturday mornings are for SLEEP IN ...
I never get to sleep. I always have someone awake...walking through the house. So, sleep is very precious to me.
But I work hard to get kids to sleep... and NOT get up at 5 am on Saturday morning.
That didn't work so well for me today. Four little boys decided to get up and play at 5 am.
That didn't work so well for those 4 little boys today.
Momma decided they could scrub my kitchen floor and clean my patio.
This is not the way they planned on spending their Saturday morning.
Maybe they will sleep in till 6 am tomorrow?

My head knows, my heart struggles ... Never Once!
Once again, Elizabeth is back into the hospital, Lincoln Prairie Behavioral Health Center. This time, she choose to go, it wasn't forced.
So, she is growing up just a bit - asking for help with her mental illness. GOOD JOB Little Lady.
This is #5. The fifth time she's been in a psych hospital. The first time she agreed to go ... wanted to get help.
That doesn't make it any easier. It still sucks. It hurts. My baby girl.
Pastor Rick Warren lost his son to mental illness right after Easter this year. He says that they had 'the best people praying....' so do we. Elizabeth is not miraculously fixed. Neither was Matthew, their son.
My heart aches. Still. My head knows, God is in control. God is good...all the time. God cares. My heart struggles.
My head knows - NEVER ONCE has God left me.... trying to move that to my heart.
