He is 7 months!

Can you believe he is now 7 months old. Here he is now-eating his breakfast and watching his favorite video called signing time. It is a sign language video that we have been watching with him for about two months, to teach him and ourselves sign language. He loves when we sign to him. He just smiles real big and laughs. He is starting to say Ma Ma, and Da Da Da.
He gets up on his knees and acts like he is going to take that step of crawling and belly flops forward to get whatever he is reaching for. The kids adore him, he is well loved that is for sure.
I have been trying to ween him from my bed to a crib that process has been a slow one. I guess I have learned my lesson, if the Lord should permit me to have another, it will never start in my bed. ;-)
Our summer has officially started. We were hoping to be in a house closer to our church by now but the Lord has not led us in that directions. I guess for now that is not his will for us. So we are still here in Nixa. We did not plant a garden because we were hoping to be gone by now. Now I am unsure what to do. I truly want a garden but we are looking at the middle of June already-wow time flies.
Sam is working hard and Paul is working side by side with him. Last week was a rough week of long hours. Hopefully this week will not be as many hours.
Alexander is doing well. He is slowly working through school.
Samuel J- has grown a foot! and still as quiet and easy going as ever. While Joey does not look like he has grown at all! and can be a meanie!
As for myself- I am sleepy, trying to make it through each day with the Lord. Right now I am doing a bible Study called the King's Daughter- by Diane Hagee- great stuff. I will write more on that later.
Need to go get some kids focused.
God's blessing to all.

BFS #124 - The Easy Button

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Goodbye Facebook...Hello thoughts...

Well I did... I took the plunge and deactivated my facebook. It is amazing how much of a time consumer it is. It eats time like you would not believe. I am hoping, praying with this new found time, and lack of distraction that it will give me motivation to blog more. As my young men get older, move closer and closer in considering that step towards becoming one with someone.. I have come to realize there are so many resources out there pointed at men and what they need to do, or what they need to be as men to get married. The sad thing is there is hardly anything for young women. Today I challenge Paul to look at a questionaire done by Stacey and James McDonald( you can find it on Staceys  blog thesacredcalling.com)  that they put together for young suitors for their daughters. After reading it he came down so heavy hearted. Guess the realization of the spiritual, emotional and physical responsibilities of it all became very burdensome. Of course I shared how we could do noth...

Saying "I love you"...

Thinking about these words. These words that are to express our deepest emotions. These words that are to leave us vunerable and open, just do not seem to have the impact they use to. Many people use these words so fleeting. They use them as if to say "thank you", or "I thought about you today". For me "I love you" is not an easy thing to say. If I say I love you- I mean it from way down deep in my heart. They are not just words to be said but also words, that are to be put into action. Have you ever thought about that? When someone says "I love you", do they show through their actions that they love you?  or do they leave you going Huh, really? I have had those thoughts, wondering if the person who has declared their love really does love me because actions speak louder than words to me. I hear their words but then on the other hand see their actions and  they do not act like a person who even cares about my well being. Jesus never states in the...
