Things here...

Life here has been pretty quiet. I wake, to work out, do chores, cook, and take care of the children. Each day blending into the other. (have you ever had a season like that?)

We are still going to the little church down the street. The fellowship with others has died down a bit making it very quiet and at times very lonely. But I have enjoyed the family time in the evenings. We have been spending time in Acts(very slowly), trying to develop a list of characteristics that the Church should have. In hopes that God would speak to us through that.

We are also as a family reading through the book called " Same Kind of Different as Me". OH what a book, we have laughed, and hearts have been broken over this unique story of lives that were changed, by serving for Christ. (I know general description but I really don't want to give you any hints towards the book- ITS THAT GOOD) Angie and Jenna at Bloom Book Club is doing a study that starts January 24th- I can't wait!!

The boys(Paul and Sammy) are working very hard to raise money for a family vacation in June. Working long nights refereeing High School games.

Texas has been extremely unseasonly(is that a word?) cold. In this weather it makes you not want to go any where. You stay huddled in the house, just to stay warm. NO we are not in teens, but we are cold for Texas none the less ;-)

I thought I would share a short update on us.. Keep us in your prayers as God continues to move in each of us as we seek His Face...

Thanks for stopping by.. let me know you were here ok?!




Love In Christ

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...

Traditions…

At this time of the year everyone is filled with traditions. Things they do every year  to prepare their hearts to celebrate the greatest, and truest meaning of this season- celebrating the Birth of our Savior. We are no exception.. we started this tradition last year. Our hearts were to focus ourselves completely on what we are celebrating and why we are celebrating it so every evening, we light these candles…   gather around the table to read the scripture for the night, we sing the corresponding carol/hymn, then daddy reads a story. The story normally goes with which every figure we must pull and set up for our nativity scene. So far this is what we have out: The Donkey was first- because he carried Mary to Bethlehem, then the cow- was probably in the stable, the sheep were probably brought by the Shepherds who came to see the Savior, and then the Shepherd. This scene is such a humbling scene, one that reminds us that our Lord did not arrive in a mansion, or place b...
