You have not heard from me in a long time!<br />I have no excuse, except to say that this has been the most busy season I've ever had here in AZ!<br /><br />We had a blast with Lena and the kids, my niece and family, Scott and Lynda, my mother-in-law! And I still managed to work full time!<br /><br /><br />These last days since they all left, I have spent a lot of time in my recliner, watching the Olympics, and also re-arranged my house!<br /><br />I am enjoying my grandkids here in Anthem so much, and James is growing so fast! Dominic is learning Norwegian, and I love to hear him say" Grandma's hus"!!<br /><br />The other day he was asking for milk (in English), but then he looked at me and said: "melk, Grandma"!<br /><br />Benjamin (now 4month) bites his toes, turns over and gets "stuck", so Lise has to rescue him over and over again! He has a great belly laugh, I hear! <br /><br />Isabell loves her Ballerina clothes, and is a very "snusfornuftig" little girl!<br /><br />Well, blessings on you all, I will do better at keeping you updated!!<br /><br />Scripture for today is Matt. 6:33....Seek FIRST the Kingdom of God, and ALL these things shall be added unto you!!<br />The key word is "FIRST"!!!<br /><br />Love , Inger<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8907321421504467289-6642911519577012005?l=ingerbretz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15555807226358913298noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8907321421504467289.post-65918440770830472652008-06-11T07:24:00.000-07:002008-06-11T07:46:44.642-07:00I have been to many churches , I have spoken at many meetings over the years, but last week-end in Fresno blessed my socks off!<br />You received me with such love and acceptance...and I came home totally refreshed! Thank you!<br /><br />Grandkids:<br /> They are the feathers in my "purple hat"! I can't get enough of them! Dominic is talking so much these days....and he is so funny! He has expressions like "Come on", "Oh, man", and yesterday as we pulled in to my house, he announced that we were going to "Grandma's hus"!! I love to hear that norwegian of course!<br /><br />James just IS. Beautiful, that is!<br />Benjamin with his beautiful smile, melts my heart...and I ache, because I can't hold him!<br />Isabell told me yesterday over the phone :" Det regner bare her hos oss i OS"!

We only have this one day, so let us use it to the max.<br />As you pick up your Bible, would you take a moment to consider the following: "This is my Bible. It is God speaking to me. I am who it says I am. I can do what it says I can do. I can have what it says I can have. So I open my heart today to hear God speak a word that will change my life forever.<br /><br />My life is filled with the joy of Grandchildren, and I live a full life. What a blessing!<br /><br />As I am heading out to Fresno this week end, please pray for His word to go forth with power and simplicity. I get to speak at "Greg's Church", and where I heard the gospel preached for the first time after arriving in America 39 years ago!!<br />What a privilege!!<br /><br />Be blessed today!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8907321421504467289-2461160517587530444?l=ingerbretz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15555807226358913298noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8907321421504467289.post-58055746779605979312008-06-03T13:00:00.001-07:002008-12-09T21:48:38.391-08:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jTlJYKaBIXY/SEWxhJ8uwgI/AAAAAAAAABE/PDwfvxgc1ts/s1600-h/100_3529.JPG"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;">Here is my beautiful new Grandson, James Scott Ingegneri!</span></a><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207763727288287746" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jTlJYKaBIXY/SEWxhJ8uwgI/AAAAAAAAABE/PDwfvxgc1ts/s320/100_3529.JPG" border="0" /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jTlJYKaBIXY/SEWxiJ8uwhI/AAAAAAAAABM/smyupVldUXA/s1600-h/100_3548.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207763744468156946" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jTlJYKaBIXY/SEWxiJ8uwhI/AAAAAAAAABM/smyupVldUXA/s320/100_3548.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jTlJYKaBIXY/SEWxip8uwiI/AAAAAAAAABU/SgsJLa6O1Z0/s1600-h/100_3628.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207763753058091554" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jTlJYKaBIXY/SEWxip8uwiI/AAAAAAAAABU/SgsJLa6O1Z0/s320/100_3628.JPG" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8907321421504467289-5805574677960597931?l=ingerbretz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15555807226358913298noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8907321421504467289.post-80846193737127317862008-06-03T08:03:00.000-07:002008-06-03T08:04:32.790-07:00Go to www.ingegneriblog.blogspot.com......enjoy!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8907321421504467289-8084619373712731786?l=ingerbretz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15555807226358913298noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8907321421504467289.post-79999722700167567422008-06-02T12:57:00.000-07:002008-06-02T12:59:23.547-07:00For the time being, you just have to believe me...James is beautiful!!!<br />BUT, pictures are coming very soon!<br /><br />Be blessed!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8907321421504467289-7999972270016756742?l=ingerbretz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15555807226358913298noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8907321421504467289.post-13115488686327756102008-05-30T10:42:00.000-07:002008-05-30T10:48:59.883-07:00James Scott was born May 29th. at 9: 25 PM.<br />He is beautiful and weighs 7lbs and 40z...<br />Length: 20 and 5/8 inches......<br />Lydia did fantastic!!!<br /><br />It was awesome to be present to see James enter this world....what a miracle!<br /><br />Thank you Scott and Lydia!!<br /><br />Be blessed!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8907321421504467289-1311548868632775610?l=ingerbretz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15555807226358913298noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8907321421504467289.post-24618095783908662252008-05-27T08:02:00.000-07:002008-05-27T08:13:27.940-07:00What a great day we had yesterday, celebrating Lydia's birthday!!<br />Every year, I tell my girls the same thing: " you are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Tell Him your plans!<br /><br />He has such a good, deep laugh..He must, because He has listened to so many of my plans...and cracked up!<br />Then He lets me wait, and when things happen in His perfect timing, I thank Him ,and say thank you for not listening to me!!!<br /><br />This was one my many thoughts today....<br />I am still waiting .....<br />James, you will be here in God's perfect timing....<br /><br />Be blessed!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8907321421504467289-4289211176203647810?l=ingerbretz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15555807226358913298noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8907321421504467289.post-6202169242394816702008-05-23T07:00:00.000-07:002008-05-23T07:20:09.490-07:00Happy Birthday to you Lena!!<br />You are wonderfully and fearfully made!! Ps.139<br />Enjoy your time in OS.<br /><br />James:<br /><br />James has his own agenda, and that is perfectly OK..<br />I sense nothing but peace, and a quiet joy!<br /><br />The word today is "immediately".<br />In Matt.14:31 it says:" Immediately, Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him (Peter) " Oh, you of little faith, why did you doubt?"<br />Jesus did not hesitate one second when Peter cried out "Lord , save me!" He did not try to teach him a lesson, by letting him sink to the bottom...he CAUGHT him before he disappeared.<br />I can't count the times I have been caught...He has never let me "go under", because He always responded to my cry for help!<br /><br />Be blessed!<br /><br />Inger<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8907321421504467289-620216924239481670?l=ingerbretz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15555807226358913298noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8907321421504467289.post-40164702275630904502008-05-21T14:01:00.000-07:002008-05-21T14:18:27.964-07:00Today is a good day to be born James!!<br /><br />I carry my cell phone in my hand like a "growth", so afraid of missing THAT call!<br />But , he will come when he is good and ready!<br /><br />I was reading about Peter today! It is so amazing how we talk about Peter like the man who always failed. It is so not true!!!<br /><br />He did walk on the water, how else would he have gotten back in the boat? He sunk "just a little", how is that possible? You either sink, or you don't! Now, that is to me a huge miracle!!<br /><br />But he denied Jesus 3 times, you say. Yes, he did. BUT, he repented, and wept bitterly. He was forgiven!!<br /><br />Jesus chose him to feed His sheep, and he sure did.<br /><br />His shadow healed people, do I need to say more?<br /><br />Be blessed today!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8907321421504467289-4016470227563090450?l=ingerbretz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15555807226358913298noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8907321421504467289.post-20436200867901758612008-05-20T18:21:00.001-07:002008-12-09T21:48:38.968-08:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jTlJYKaBIXY/SDN6blKRBzI/AAAAAAAAAAg/Wd-YTkLOLxU/s1600-h/Norway+Easter+2008+(6).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202636608793282354" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jTlJYKaBIXY/SDN6blKRBzI/AAAAAAAAAAg/Wd-YTkLOLxU/s320/Norway+Easter+2008+(6).JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Lise, Jonathan, Lena, Me, Aimee, Isabell &amp; Inger Marlene<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jTlJYKaBIXY/SDN6cFKRB0I/AAAAAAAAAAo/2ZBWCdWdWxM/s1600-h/1st+May+visit+to+Os+011.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202636617383216962" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jTlJYKaBIXY/SDN6cFKRB0I/AAAAAAAAAAo/2ZBWCdWdWxM/s320/1st+May+visit+to+Os+011.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Benjamin Martin - born April 7th<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jTlJYKaBIXY/SDN6c1KRB1I/AAAAAAAAAAw/Uyzx4lw-eFw/s1600-h/Dominic_Abner+026.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202636630268118866" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jTlJYKaBIXY/SDN6c1KRB1I/AAAAAAAAAAw/Uyzx4lw-eFw/s320/Dominic_Abner+026.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Dominic in the tub!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8907321421504467289-2043620086790175861?l=ingerbretz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15555807226358913298noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8907321421504467289.post-42865264205522280472008-05-20T15:59:00.000-07:002008-05-20T16:04:34.965-07:00Hello Everyone! My daughter Lydia convinced me this was a much easier way to keep in touch with all of you so I have created this blog to keep you updated on all my "happenings". My website page is still in full use so don't forget to check it out on a regular basis. However, this blog will be used for personal contact with all of you. I also like the idea of being able to post pictures and even videos of my grandkids! Below is my most recent entry on my webpage so I thought I'd share it here, too. <br /><br />It is amazing how fast one month goes by! My last greeting to you was from Norway, and Benjamin was just born! He is doing well, smiling and kicking and bringing a lot of joy to his Mom and Dad ! (and to his sister Isabell, of course!) Now, I am waiting on James Scott Ingegneri! <br /><br />I read from 1 Chr.16: 34 this morning, and it says that God's mercy endures forever! I am so glad that He provides GRACE for each day, and this provision will last forever. Every day, every step, every situation, every challenge...He will provide new mercy! While we wait...we get what we need...rest today in His mercy, because tomorrow there is fresh supply!!!<br /><br />I welcome you James... you are scheduled to be here tomorrow!<br /><br />Be blessed!<br />Inger<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8907321421504467289-4286526420552228047?l=ingerbretz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15555807226358913298noreply@blogger.com0
