I haven't been posting as often, as you may or may not have noticed. I had a nasty cold at the begining of this week, that is finally leaving my body, Thank you Jesus!!!! So not too much has been going on, in case you were worried about missing out on anything. I have been working slowly, on making the room that we call our "office", look more like an office and less like a storage room, which has been an ongoing chore since we moved in. I got quite a bit done today, not so much earlier this week(for obvious reasons). Our mom and dad, Ben and Debbie, came home last Saturday after being in Michigan for 3 weeks. I still haven't seen them yet, since I wasn't feeling so well, so I am looking forward to seeing them possibly saurday. It's been a while. They graciously filled in for us Sunday with all our super hero teenagers, since we had a crazy weekend. We have at least one themed night a month, where the teens and adults if led to participate, dress up. This past weekend it was super heros, I am still impatiently waiting to see the pictures that Debbie took. Captain underpants and jesus were just some of the Super Heros rumored to be there. After this weekend you will be able to see them on the youth groups blog, check out the link. Also we have been adjusting to having my cat around, or she has been adjusting to us however you wanna see it. I finally resorted to letting her outside since she was driving me BONKERS!!!! GOSH! No worries Papa and Grandma she came home, and she is as spoiled and lazy as ever!!!! I have photos to prove it. Although she's not supposes to sit ont he kitchen table, she was so cute and sweet, i took some pictures before kicking her off!!! One thing that has been happening in our lives is that Caleb and I are starting a new business. Well, at first it was all his fault, & I basically was not excited about it all. This is a huge step for me to even admit to it, ha ha. I am truly learning how to be a wife, & follow, to trust & be willing. Ladies, not ALL your husbands ideas are as spastic as you think, most, but I am learning that if prayer, and the go ahead with God, as well as encouraging words from the love of his life, all men are bound to succeed. So ok, now you are wondering what in the heck are caleb & Sarah getting themselves into?!?!?! Well I could tell you but I'd have to kill you, ha ha gotcha! I am not as good as my husband at explaining it, i'll try. Basically we bought our own small franchise, we cut out the middle man/cost of advertising and distribution, and we sell you products you are familiar with (circut city, b&N, pac sun, disney so many more i don't know em all yet)! We get points and bonus % checks for it. (doesn't cost you any more than the stores would, sometimes possibly less if we can get you a deal) We also sell Xs energy drinks and all the other stuff like that. I usually am not an energy drink person, Red Bull no thanks, tastes like cough syrup to me, but these are pretty good, they even have root beer. My second fav!
We are partnered up with a Company called Quixtar, we are not amway, or a pyramid thingy, so don't get the wrong idea. It's a sister company though. We control how much we make, by how much time we are willing to put into it. Ok, so now your rolling your eyes at me. I was a major skeptic at first, seriously ask my hubby, I was a very unhappy camper. After several meetings, reading up and listening to a ton of informative info, in the mean time being a lil pain in the butt... I am getting there. Along the way I forgot, that my hubby is a very smart & hard working man, and so far in like the 4 years I have known him and been a part of his life, I have seen nothing but God do some amazing things through him. He's so driven, I envy him actually... i lack a bit of that myself, but I am deciding that maybe it's not so bad, aside from yes our family and close friends warning us against it all, we love you guys, but I am going to just follow and turst my husband, see where God takes us, where this new adventure takes us, and learn to have a good attitude about it. Wow this is getting kinda long huh. Ok, so there, that is what we are up to. God continues to take us down a very interesting paths, and in the process teaching me how to be the kind of wife he called me to be. He's showing me to follow my husband...which is not always fun or easy, but trust me it's way better than the alternative. So if you guys wanna know more, feel free to contact Caleb. He would be happy to answer any concerns or questions you may have. He's the info guy, I just make him looke cuter when I stand next to him, ha ha, you know you love me!!!! Mostly guys, be praying for us always, that we would hear God's voice, follow it, and spend more time with him. Also for wisdom, and guidance and continual direction. Making a new big decision is easy peasy..but follow through is the tough part... Hope you all are doing great, thanks for keeping up with us on our blog!!!! Blessings

You should never encourage your kitty's rebellion like that if you expect her to obey! Glad you're feeling better.
Glad to hear that you're feeling better, Sarah. I think I caught the same thing that you had - I got it last sunday and it's just finally getting better. Crazy! Hey - be encouraged about the Quixtar stuff. I'm a skeptic of all that sell at home stuff too, but I know a couple that sell through Quixtar and it's not shady, it's a really good concept. You have access to great stuff. Once I'm done with school and acutally making money instead of operating in a deficit, I'll have to get some of the products from a vitamin line that you guys have access too. It's a little spendy, but really, really good stuff. Good luck and congrats on the new bold step! Love you guys!
Thanks Em, the encouragement is really appreciated! You rock! I am sorry you got sick too, it's stinky isn't it! Yucky pooh puppies! Well I hope you are feeling better now ! If you need anything deffinitely let us know! Hey when do you come visit again! We miss you!
May the Lord continue to bless the work of your hands. May the Lord guide you continually. May the wealth of the nations come to you, riches hidden in secret places and the wealth of the wicked that is stored up for the righteouss! May the heavens be opened upon your life and may every resource needed come forth that you may charge the kingdom of darkness and advance the kingdom of God. Money and wealth are just a tool to advance the kingdom of God. May you be given above and beyond the need not only financially but spiritually and physically. May you increase in the annointing, may you enter into the deeper things of God and soar into the highest heights. I speak the blessings of the Lord into your life in all areas. May you continue to look unto Jesus the author developer and finisher of your faith. Sarah, always stand with your husband and love and support and encourage him, even if you disagree, don't tell others, tell the Lord. Marriage is sacred. I support you and trust and believe the blessings of the Lord are upon your life and your marriage! As far as Quixtar goes. People are leary of Amway because of the way they would decieve people by not being up front about it and just saying that it was Amway and that they wanted you to come to a meeting in their home about Amway. Obviously you have hit a button because of the connection there. I think if you are forthright and don't become defensive and just tell people upfront that it is owned by the same company as Amway but is not Amway, people may be more receptive. People want honesty and friendship and if they don't find out till later you could loose friends. Just some motherly advise, though I support you and what you are doing. Also, don't become defensive, a good product and good name just sell themselves.
Whoa! I just glanced through your blog briefly on Quixtar comments. Tony is stirring up alot of trouble on your websight. Hmmm
You know I could say more but I will just say this. "I love you Both"
Love,
Mom
