Be watching because we're changing things up here at my adventure blog.
Mistake number one was probably trying to fit a "schedule" into our crazy lives for all this. Because it all seemed to go downhill from there...
Mistake number two was not eating enough chocolate...
Mistake number three was continuing to attempt to keep the blog running when we didn't know the full extent of what was happening with some nasty little things called computer viruses...
Mistake number four was not eating enough chocolate...

Computer Crash... Stay Tuned
Well...
After months of craziness, we finally discovered all our glitches. Our main computer system had a time-bomb virus. (if you don't know what that is - don't ask. It's scary. I'm freaked out every time I think about it. Yuck. Ugh.) It fried the mother-board and operating system, and sent trojans to the other computers on the network.
We haven't been able to post on blogs correctly for MONTHS - and not at all for quite some time - as you can see :)
We haven't been able to receive and send email properly for months...
And, we've lost a lot of data.
BUT - we believe - that it is all functioning properly now. (At least the computers that are still alive.)
So... Thanks for your patience and keep watching. We hope to get it all back to schedule this week and next.

The Battle
As I jump back into regular blogging, today I thought would be a good day to challenge us all. This is for kids and adults alike. :)
Whether we want to admit it or not, we are all VERY stubborn. What do I mean? One word:
Temptation.
Temptation is a thing we all have problems with. And I’m not just talking about whether or not you’re going to grab a piece of chocolate cake when your mother told you not to. I’m talking about ALL temptations, the ones that we ALL give in to, basically ALL the time. :)
For example:
Your friends are having an ice skating party and have invited you along. But, there’s a problem. None of the people going use very good language, don’t dress modestly, etc. You think: “Oh, well, God wants me to witness to them, right?” But you have a feeling in the pit of your stomach saying “don’t go, you’ll regret it.”
In the back of your mind you think, “well, then again…” but you don’t listen. You don’t ask for God’s advice, you just plow ahead.
Guess what… That party doesn’t go too well. And you never were strong enough to witness to them.
Or:
Your friends are raving about this new book and want you to read it. You think: “Well, I don’t see any harm in reading it.” But a red flag goes up and says: Remember, you’re supposed to be a good example! Is the book glorifying to God in ANY way???
But you don’t listen because you either really want to read it or just want to fit in with everybody else.
Or it could be something about your faith. You read a verse in the Bible and know it means something important and you’ve been struggling in that area lately. The enemy tells you to ignore it or makes you think it means something different than what God intended it to be.
Or… you’re struggling with money, the economy. Things aren’t going so well. You know you should trust God, but don’t see how.
These situations are, to me, known as The Battles. And we don’t want to overcome them for fear of either not fitting in, missing out on a chance of “fun,” or just plain stubbornness. But God can easily overcome temptations if we really let Him take control of things in our lives.
Sometimes temptations take a roll in our lives because we forget who we were made to be: Followers of Christ.
Now, I know that at some point in your life you have heard or read “Jesus should be our example” or you’ve probably seen the bracelets that have WWJD on them. But do you really ask yourself this?
Well, even Jesus was tempted by Satan.
But guess what. He was well equipped and was able to overcome Satan’s poking and prodding.
Yes, He’s Jesus (He's God), but I think one reason why God allowed for Satan to tempt Jesus is because: through Jesus and that story we can know how to resist the devil. How? One way is to memorize Scripture and engrave God’s words in your heart. Another way is (I do this a lot) to ignore the devil and let God talk you through the temptation… or trial.
I can’t get rid of them… you can’t get rid of them…
We live in a sin-filled, temptation-filled world.
But God can help you resist temptation and come out stronger on the other side. :)

The Scoop...
Kim and Kayla here...
Here's the new scoop:
As we have worked on our schedules, re-vised, re-grouped, re-focused, re-assessed, re-rested, re-confuzzled, and totally turned everything upside down with all this "re" business, we've come up with a new schedule to try and simplify things.
With the craziness of our lives, we want to share it all with you (isn't that nice of us?) and still be able to maintain our writing, schooling, swimming, speaking, teaching, and everything else in between. :)
So here it is:
Tuesday - will be a post on our blog together at - KimberleyandKaylaWoodhouse.com
(One week Kim will post, the next week Kayla will post and so on...)
Wednesday - will be a post on Kim's blog posted at - KimberleyWoodhouse.com click on the blog tab this blog is also posted at
KimberleyWoodhouse and KimberleyWrites
Thursday - will be a post on Kayla's blog for kids at - Dragon Claws, Dog Paws, Swimming Laws...
As always we love to hear from all of you and look forward to sharing all the great things going on!
