Thanksgiving

Well this day all went really well untill I got home and Dan left to go to the Best Buy parking lot to stay the night. It all hit me at about 10:30. As soon as I settled down and allowed my self to think.I think I went to the bathroom and once I sat down it hit me. I sat there and cried for a good half hour. I thought, maybe I should call someone, but then I would make them feel sad and helpless or worse I would make them sad and ruin their holiday, so I just cried. And then Boen decided that enough was enough and I needed to play. He is my little angel, how can you be sad when you have such a naughty little boy who should be sleeping laughing his little head off in his crib. Uhhh. Really though, it was a very blessed Thanksgiving and I am soo happy that I was able to be with my family at moms house

SUCCESS!!

Well we just returned from our youth gathering in Omaha. It was a three day event starting on Friday night and ending Sunday morning. We took 6 youth and Tracy and Boen. Dan is just growing sooo much in his ability to teach and speak to the youth. I am soo proud of him and the way that he is allowing the Lord to work through him. Over all I think that each youth got something from the gathering, some more than others but that is how it always goes. The house band was 211 and they were really really good, check them out if you like christian music. The speakers were mostly very good and the topics chosen were also good, ie: how to have a christian relationship & why am I a christian...etc. It was a lot of fun and no one got hurt or lost so that is always good! Also, for those who have been praying for Dan and I due to my last post, thank you. Prayer works and things are going so much better at home. Thank you for your prayers and please continue becuase as we all know as soon as one crisis is resolved, another comes to take it's place. We love you all and hope you have a wonderful thanksgiving. I am starting a youth group blog and will have the URL soon so if you want to check it out, you can!!
Gods richest blessings to you! The Schweitzers

Please pray for me

Please pray for me and Dan. That the Lord will bless us with patience. That the Lord will help us to axcept the things we can not change..... and to help us for the lack of control in things that simply cant be controled. Pray the Lord might help us to have a humble and loving attitude with those we truly do love, and that they might have one back. Thank you, prayer works, and right now God is the only one who can help us get through these tough times. Love you all and thank you so much!

MOUSE!!!

Well, our house is just full of surprises! First we have water leakage every time it rains in the basement, and now, yesterday morning my husband saw a mouse!!!! It was in the bathroom and he was half asleep and doesnt know where it went. So I now have sticky traps, and peanut butter snap traps in my house and garage and poisen in the basement celing! Ugg. I just hope my dog doesnt get into the sticky traps because I would have to shave him to get it off and this is the WRONG season to be shavin your dog! I think it is funny that we own a rat terrior a dog know for his rat catching abilities and yet, we have a mouse! O well I guess. I just hope we find it soon! Say some prayers for us! I hope that everyone is doing good and getting excited for thanksgiving and christmas! This year just flew!! All our love, The Schweitzer Three

November 1st

Well holy cow. I can not believe that it is already November 1st. I think back to last year........ I was soo depressed becuase I thought I was never going to get pregnant. Dan and I were still living in seward. I was working two jobs and Dan was just finishing school. Man how things have changed since then. Thank God too might I add. I can just look back and see how God has worked in my life in the last year and all the blessings that I have been so freely given. I look at my 3 1/2 month old beautiful baby boy and think.......ohh. He is getting soo big. It seems like just yesterday we were leaving the hospital with him, and now he is already almost four months. I was just talking to a friend of mine about feeding Boen real food and that we can start that at four months. I got sooo sad! I love nursing and hate the thought that soon, I will no longer be doing it. It is just such an amazing feeling to know that your providing for you baby. And when I feed him and he just looks up at me with his slowly changing eyes. It just melts my heart and makes me fall that much more in love with him. Uhh I just love being a mommy! I am soo greatful to God. It just shows me why mom fought soo hard to stay here as long as she could. Even though all of her babies aren't babies-- once you have that, the bond is there forever. And you want to take care of you babies forever. If they ever give you that look like, mommy I need you...it just takes you back to when they were so little and helpless. Uhh ok, I better get back to work! Hope everyone is enjoying the BEAUTIFUL November weather, unbelievable.

Love ya'll........us
