Too Fast!!

My little baby turns 5 months old today. She's eating solid food, rolling over, grabbing things, teething and laughing out loud. She's a busy girl, and she's growing too fast! My other little baby turns 5 years old tomorrow, she sings by herself in church, spells her own name and helps take care of her baby sister. She's growing way too fast. My biggest baby turns thirteen this fall. I can't even think about it, because I'm not ready. Where did the years go? How did they slip unnoticed through my fingers? Why can't time slow down just a little so I can enjoy them more? It all just continues to happen too fast!!

Blogger gone AWOL

Okay, I know its been a while since I've posted, but we have been very busy. This is the last night of revival and although I'm looking forward to having nowhere to go tomorrow I'm going to miss going. Its been good though, and I feel revived. Mostly I feel like our family has been restored and revived as a whole. Its not been what we expected or hoped for , but its been exactly what we need. I'm grateful for all those who came out to support us, its meant more than I can ever say. But mostly I'm grateful to the Lord for doing a work in me!! Any way I'll try to to better and keep up my blog. And hopefully you'll keep reading!!

Revival

Well this week is a big one for us. My husband is having his first independant revival!! I'm excited about what God's going to do! But am I ready for revival? Well to be honest I need one. So many things have happened recently and I'm sad to say that I'm a little hardened. I know its a funny choice of words but I'll try to explain. I'm not hurt, because nothing said or done was towards me, I'm not discouraged because I'm excited about new doors being opened. I've got my wall up, and my defences are ready, not against people but against powers and principalities. I know that sounds good but I tend to get cold and hard like a turtle's shell therefore I'm safe, except that i'm not as responsive to God's spirit because he speaks loudest to soft prepared hearts. Sounds complicated I know but there's a balance and I need to find it. Prayer is the key I know, but I'm a martha and tent to put my faith in action, so I'm going to paint a sign. Pray for me that I'll find my balance and be sensitive to God's spirit and to those around me that need him. And I'll try to pray more and do less! Pray also for the Lord to really move in this revival, its long over-due! 

Faithful are the Wounds of a Friend

Hello everyone! Guess what I see? Sunshine!! I was real pretty yesterday, so I spent the whole day outside in the sun. Monday I had a tooth pulled. It wasn't so bad except my mouth has been sore ever since, especially yesterday. But I'm thankful it will be better by the end of the week and I won't have to worry about it any more. It kind of makes me think about when the LORD prunes us, his branches. He comes at us with his pruning shears, and it looks pretty scary, then he cuts out some of the branches that are  stunting our growth, and that really hurts because usually the're our most beloved ones. Then the healing processes begins and we're hurt and sore, sometimes it takes a while to heal. But what we really need to understand is we will be better than we were before, that the pruning was for our own good. The Lord loves us, He wants whats best for us. Sometimes his best hurts, but I heard it said this way, faithful are the wounds of a friend, He is my best friend, I love him and trust him, and if he sees fit to wound me I know its for my best.

To all you moms!

Hello all you mothers! Hope you've had an awesome day, you derseve it!! You may not see it now but you are blessed, sometimes "they" drive us crazy but children truly are a blessing from the LORD!! I should know, my quiver is full, really there are seven arrows is a quiver, cool huh. Well anyway some days it seems like all I can relate to is the part where the drive me crazy, like right now, the baby's crying, My six year old is running full speed around the house, my mother's day gift got broke(yes already) And I really liked it. The worst is the arguing back and forth about the silliest things "uh huh we did too eat french fries last year at camp" who cares right!! Well they truly are a blessing and one day if they grow and flourish they'll be gone and I'll miss them, their messes, their screaming, their dirty diapers( mabye not) and all!! So to all you mom's who are going cukoo on a daily basis repeat after me "children are a blessing from the LORD" and for all those who's children have flown the coop precious memories are sweet!! Love ya all!
