Additions

I debated whether to write this blog....or rather how to write this blog. I REALLY don't want to come across materialistic or that things are really important in my life. I hope you understand my heart and desire to be a good housekeeper, mother and just a desire to make my house nice for entertaining and to live in. I just want to tell about things that happen in my life and the little things that change or make up our life. That said...
In the begining of August, we got professional family pictures taken by Kaila, super talanted and it was so fun! I was really excited to get them printed off and put around our house. It had been awhile since we had gotten family pictures and knowing Kaila's talant, i knew these would be exceptional! So getting them printed is one battle or process, getting frames that we can afford and for all the pictures i wanted and then having Bryan find the time to put them up, is a completely different battle. We went to Kolhs cuz i had some coupons, came away with 10 frames and two pairs of jeans for Aaron for $6!!!! I was SO excited about my out of the ordinary saving shopping to say the least!!!! Then it was about a week or two later that we were able to order the pictures. When we got back from vacation, we had some down time that day and Bryan was able to hang them. It adds a very nice, homey touch to our house!

The other new addition is in the boys room. Up till now, the boys have just been sleeping with random blankets and no sheets, except for a cover sheet. They don't have a theme in their room, it just seemed like a room with alittle bit of everything in it. I guess it was to much looking in magazine and other peoples kids rooms that made me wish we could theme it or at least have it put together better. This summer, i had finally gotten rid of all the baby toys and things so it was looking more like a little boys room. Then Mom Kurty found a GREAT deal on a quilt and comforter set that would match their room perfectly. It has really brought their room together and i love how it looks. It seems like it is something so small, but i feel it has made a big difference and now i can go in a direction. Just little things that have added to our home in making it our home.

Looking at this year

I'm not sure why but it seems to be this time of the year, the atmosphere, the emphasis, the joy, and perspective that is around this holiday, but I do alot of thinking back over the year. Boy, this has been a full year! We have been busy in ministry, learning things about ourselves, our ministry, our teens, our God, and how to better love, serve, and bring glory to Him. Boy, do we have along way to go!!! By NO means do we have anything figured out! We are a piece of work but anything good that happens thru us is only by God's grace (God giving us what we don't deserve). We have been here at this church, working with the teens, for almost 3 1/2 years. We love these teens! There is just something about working with teens. When we started, I was so intimidated, so wanting them to like me, so self-consious that I think I was fake and not really being myself. I have learned something in these years. They just want to know if you are going to love them and they just want you to...

Catch Up: When the Unexpected Happens Part 2

Image
I'm finally able to talk about all of it, all that God has worked through my heart up until this point--all the ugly, all the hurt, all the good, and all to His glory! My story isn't finished, but let me catch you up. I hurt! And I hurt bad with the loss.  I had opened my heart up to a new life, a new love.  This baby was precious to me already.  I struggled through understanding what God was doing.  Would He give us life only to not allow that life to develop?  But I never questioned why.  I had grappled through the sovereignty of God when we got pregnant, so it was easy to move that thought process over to apply to this.  I understood that what God does, doesn't always make sense or meet up with my plans, at least I thot I understood this concept.  Coming to grips that this baby was never mine, that in fact none of my kids are, was also something that became real to me.  That reality is a hard reality to accept as they feel so much mine, ...
