A Day with My Boys

I have many if not all my days spent with my two precious boys, but today we had the privilege of adding the biggest, most important boy to our day, DADDY!!!!! Nothing was on the agenda today, nothing we HAD to do! So we spent it coloring, snacking, taking Christmas lights down(finally, after 2 1/2 years of them being up), throwing balls, scooters, a couple falls, pizza for supper, and a bath and a movie. WOW!! What a fantastic day!!

Earlier this week, we realized that we had nothing going on today so all week we had been looking forward to today. It didn't disappoint :-) We were up late last night, which is not unusual, and the boys came into our bed in the morning to wake us up, which is not unusual either, but it must of been the fact we didn't have to go anywhere, so there was no pressure to get up. We hung out alittle in the bed. It is so cute, funny, and interesting to hear the boys talk "quietly" in the middle of the bed while we lay there trying to pull ourselves out of the bed. It is a wonder how busy their minds are so fast and early in the morning as they are slowly taking up the whole bed and pushing us off.

Over the course of the next several hours we had breakfast, colored, watched some Mickey Mouse, cuddled with Mommy and Daddy, and got ready for the day. We headed outside to take down the Christmas lights!! I know, very late in the season. But the boys had a blast playing with some outside toys, getting some fresh air, as it snowed. Not the ideal weather to be taking down Christmas lights but, really, how often does Daddy have the time to do that. When we were done, we hit up Best Way Pizza to get warm and fill our bellys!! Came home and finished the day with a bath and a movie. 

Out for supper

Taking it slow in the morning.
















We are at a crossroads in our life but the one thing I can look at and know is the promises God gives me in his Word and the blessings He has given me in my life. Days like today are going to be good to look back on. Pictures to make a memory!

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, ...
