Pride.....shhh.... don't tell :)

First of all….thank you all for your prayers. I could really feel them this Saturday as I dealt with the “family issue”. I have said before, and will say again, I do not know how I would make it if I didn’t have God in my heart, and on my side.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Last night we attended a revival service at our church. Scott and Alivia were supposed to sing, but for some reason they didn’t get to. Anyway, as I sat and watched them while they were practicing before church, I was struck by pride. I have spoken before of the pride I have for my kids. But, as much as this goes against my principle :)...... I will say this aloud –so to speak- I was proud of Scott. I have seen such a change in him. The obvious change came when he got saved last year. Since then things have been so much better for us. Slowly, I feel our relationship getting back to the relaxed loving way it used to be.
In case you didn’t know, right after he got saved, Scott decided to take up the banjo. Yes…..I said banjo.
Even though that kind of music isn’t really my cup of tea, I have to say, he’s pretty good. He plays in church all the time with his friend/ slash banjo teacher, Ralph, and they sound really good. A couple months ago he decided to buy a guitar, and now he’s playing that also.
So he and Ralph have started teaching others. They have 2 banjo students and last night they got 2 for the guitar. Of course, Scott is also trying to teach our kids in the evenings when he can. On top of all this he’s managed to loose 55 pounds in just over 2 months.

My point to telling you all this is to go on record as saying that I am proud of my husband.
He’s a good husband, a great father, a promising musician, and most importantly a righteous man of God. And I am proud of him.

Just do me a favor…..don’t go telling him I said all this…..I mean, I do still have to live with him after all!
