oh, man, do I feel yuckie!

Salutations my friends and family. I just wanted to update here. I feel sooo yuckie! As my sinus pressure and stuffiness seems to be improving, last night I was clenching my jaw SO hard I was dreaming that I needed to wake up cause it was hurting. I woke up at 3:30am and the whole right side of my face was swollen and my jaw by my ear is SO sore! Please say a prayer for me, cause as I am taking care of myself I am also taking care of these 3 kiddos who have felt like testing me alot the past few days.
But, enough moaning , Praise the Lord - I am alive, I am aware, and I am forgiven! I have so much to be thankful for!
We will be visiting Chase Oaks Church on Legacy this Sunday morning for service and Sunday school! It would be nice to find a church home for our family and I look forward to going!
I just hope I feel well enough because I have been waiting for a long time to visit!
Well, I love you all and hope you have a wonderful Friday night!

The new stuff...

Well, I know that Peyton is still supposed to blog about her dance. Ryan had a concert on Thursday night, but I have not heard the details yet. Nicole text messaged me and told me Bailey had high blood pressure. They are going to watch it for a few months. That is really scary. I know mom had a scope today, but Billy didn't know the results yet. The results should be available in a few days. Keep praying for her.
I love you all..... xoxoxo

Christianity vs. Religion

I would like to share this article.
“Why are you Christians always sending missionaries overseas? People have their own culture, their own religion, why don’t you just leave them alone?!” This is one of the most common statements we hear as we lecture on college and university campuses throughout the United States and around the world. Students and faculty often jeeringly ask us, “What is so special about Christianity, different from every religion in the world?” To be sure, this is a very significant question; and probably one of the most significant questions that any Christian could ask themselves: what is so special about Jesus Christ?
Our family has a close friend named Lou. Lou grew up in the nation of Thailand and he was a Buddhist for the first 20 years of his life until he met some Christian missionaries who introduced him to Jesus Christ. If you were to ask Lou today, “What is so special about Jesus Christ and Christianity different from every other religion in the world?” Lou would share with you the following story:
“When I was a Buddhist I felt like I was in the middle of a large lake. I was drowning and I didn’t know how to swim. As I struggled to keep my head above water, I looked out towards the shore and saw Buddha walking up to the edge of the lake. I was going under for the third time, when suddenly Buddha began shouting out instructions to me, teaching me how to swim. Buddha shouted, ‘Kick your legs and paddle your arms.’ But then Buddha said, ‘Lou, you must make it to shore by yourself.’ As I desperately struggled to follow the instructions of Buddha, I looked out towards the shore again, but this time I saw Jesus Christ walking towards the edge of the lake. However, Jesus did not stop at the edge of the lake. Jesus dove into the lake and he swam out and rescued me! And once Jesus had brought me safely back to shore, then he taught me how to swim, so that I could go back and rescue others!” You see, this is the key difference between Christianity and every other religion in the world: Christianity is not a religion! What are religions? Religions are about human attempts to make our lives right with God, through our good works, sacrifices, rituals, and money. However, Christianity is not a religion. Christianity is about God entering human history to graciously save men and women through His Son Jesus Christ. It is only by placing our faith in Jesus Christ and submitting to his Lordship that we will be saved. Let us be sharing this Truth with everyone! Be Blessed in Jesus!

This Blog Site

My first Blog

Hi everyone this is Tanya, and this is my first blog ("Hi Tanya..."). I hope I do this right. So Regina told me that I should be telling everyone how the pregnancy is going. Well, it's going just fine so far. I'm 10 weeks (about 2 1/2 months) and my next doctor appointment is Monday March 9th. I'm still in awe that I'm even doing this again. After all Samuel is 8 and Daniel is 5, however the timing of all this is pretty incredible. Well, I think I need to go throw up now...been feeling very peuny today. 10-4!

Mom's opinion

Just thought i would share what is going on here. My two wonderful guys cleaned my carpet. It looks so good. Hope to have company come to stay for awhile this summer. I would love to see my family. I really don't know what is going to happen to us in the coming year. I am glad that God is in control of my life. For all of you that are concerned about the condition of our country, please send your picture to www.wesurroundthem@gmail.com. Join in the fight with Glenn Beck, and watch his show on Fox network every day at 5:00 pm eastern time, it is well worth it . Love you all Mom

Hi My Name is Regina and I am Addicted to Incredible Pizza!

Hi My Name is Regina and I am Addicted to Incredible Pizza!
Okay... I am addicted to Incredible Pizza. I love the food and the fun... !
We met there on Friday night, Me, Daniel, Samuel, Lisa, Jeremiah, Hailey, Cody, Fonda, Nicole, Bailey, Logan, Ryan, and Johnny.
Than, my friends from "Mother's Day Out" Ian and Dublin showed up with their family. We had the best time. We rode the Go Karts, Bumper cars, Played Games, and jumped in the bounce house.
I am sorry I do not have a camera right now to take pics but I am working on getting one. My camera phone does not take good pics inside darker places dang it.

Ryan's Solo and Ensemble Competition

Ryan competed in the Vocal Solo and Ensemble competition yesterday. He was scored with a 1 (one) which is the highest score! His song was "Romance" by Debussy.
He now gets to advance to the "State Solo and Ensemble Competition" in Austin Texas this May.
Yeah Ryan.... We are so proud of you.

xoxoxo, Regina

Hmm...

what if i don't want to contribute anything? huh ? what then????

Incredible Pizza

I have to say, Incredible Pizza WAS incredible! I can't believe the kids played for 3 hours on $5.00 game cards! The pizza was great, salad bar, awesome! I want to THANK Regina, Dad, Diane, and Mother's Day Out for helping my kids have a wonderful time last night! They had a BLAST!

In other news, I have been making Tanya's business cards for her Mary Kay business for a year now. She just emailed me yesterday morning and asked if I would consider being her MK office support, and I would never have to buy Mary Kay again! I of course said YES! I have since made invitations and gift certificates and I am helping her update her customer contact information. We are working toward the goal of getting her business booming so that she will be able to possibly stay home when she has her new baby! YES! She is 9 weeks pregnant, and praying for a GIRL!

Other than that, Nathon's sick and trying to re coop this weekend so that he will be better by the time he returns to work Monday morning. And the kids are great, just been playing and driving each other crazy as usual! As for me, I stay busy taking care of everyone and the house, and I am very excited about my new endeavor of helping Tanya and getting paid with Mary Kay products that I enjoy!
That's all for now!

Who is Holly? Let me explain....

Holly has become the newest member of the McClure family. She is Peyton's best friend. But Holly is so universal she has become Ryan's best friend, Aaron's best friend, Ashton's best friend, Johnny's best friend, and Diane's best friend..... Even Tucker's best friend.... Holly is very loved.

A wonderful story of God's supernatural hand in answering prayer.

Prayerfully Arranged Marriage
James Rutz, author of MegaShift, tells a wonderful story of God's supernatural hand in answering prayer.

"The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much" (James 5:16).

"I have a good friend named Barclay Tait who sells vacation real estate in Niceville, Florida. Back in 1977, he was a 36-year-old Florida basketball coach. That summer, he decided to hitch-hike to a Christian conference in Front Royal, Virginia. Arriving four days early, he went to a nearby forest and pitched his tent by a stream. On the last day, a tall, thin hiker with a notebook under his arm suddenly appeared, startling him as he read his Bible. Barclay explained that he came out there to fast and meditate.

Dave, the hiker, replied, "Well, I'm an intercessor. What would you like me to pray for?"

Feeling somewhat overwhelmed, Barclay said, "Uh, frankly, I'd like prayer for a wife." The man wrote the request in his notebook and walked on.

By 1988, Barclay, now married to Sherry, has been divinely guided to move to Asheville, North Carolina. A chance encounter in the Holiday Inn parking lot led to an invitation to join a gathering of a Christian group outside of town. Arriving just before the 7:00 P.M. meeting, the host walks in from the kitchen and stops dead in his tracks. "I know you!" he exclaims, pointing his finger. "You're Barclay Tait!" Barclay draws a blank.

"Just a minute. I have something I want to show you," the host announces. He scampers upstairs, leaving the puzzled Taits standing in the middle of the suddenly hushed room. In a moment the host reappeared with a well-worn ledger book. "See here? This is where I wrote your prayer request in column one when I met you in Front Royal in 1977: 'Barclay Tait: God's choice for a wife.'" Barclay looked down at the journal entry. It was the most detailed, methodical prayer journal he'd ever seen.

"I prayed for you for seven years," proclaims Dave. "Then in the middle of the night on December 30, 1984, God woke me up out of a sound sleep and said, 'Write in your journal, "Prayer answered." So I did. See? Here in column two, "Prayer answered.'"

Barclay and Sherry look at each other with their mouths open. They sat down, and their eyes fill with tears. Quietly, Barclay tells Dave, "That was the day we were married."

Camden Church outing!

It was Mrs. Bells b-day and the Camden Church decided to take this precious woman to lunch. Everyone came and was filled with love, fellowship and food. It would have only been better if some of you could have been here. Mrs. Bell is quiet but wise. When she speaks it is always full of light and salt.

True Romance

I Must Say this was the most special Valentine's Day weekend ! Rob is the most wonderful man. The Lord has truly blessed me with a very special husband. I have always dreamed of a man that loves me unconditionally and ALLOWS me to feel that unconditional love. I now have it! I honestly never ever thought I would. This weekend something was completed in me that I can not explain in words, but I know Rob and the Lord understand it. It is a feeling of completeness with the three of us, Rob, The Lord, and me.It just took that extra little push.
Rob took me away for a nice little retreat, instead of a traditional gift for Valentine's Day he took me shopping, so we spent the day at the mall walking around, shopping and talking. It was very nice. We went to a movie, watched junior hockey, had lunch and just spent some amazing quality time together.
God really blessed us with an awesome weekend of TRUE LOVE !!!!

Ryan's Letter of Acceptance to SH

Ryan showed me his letter of acceptance to Sam Houston tonight... I am so proud. That is the school Stevee goes to. I am not sure if that is where he will go for sure but it will be cool if he does decide to go there.
Yeah for Ryan... another smart kid in the family.

Love, Aunt Regina

By the way I hear Bailey is STILL not feeling good..... yuck....

Mom's lump

Mom fell a week or so ago and had a lump in her breast. The docs looked at it today and said it was nothing to worry about that it was from the fall. It was a blood clot that would dissolve and go away.
Praise the Lord!
You go God!
Love ya Momma...... Love, Regina
