Once a month update


Cute pictures of my kids are always a nice addition to any blog entry! Its very easy to be patient with my kids when they look like this!

I'm obviously not a blogger. But for those few who like to read about whats going on in my world here's the dish.

My best friend AND her boyfriend recently got saved! So wonderful how God works in people's lives!

Jack is crawling very well and is starting to pull himself to standing and even gets around a little bit.

Danielle is starting to assert her independence more and more. "No" is becoming a lot more common around here (out of her mouth AND mine)

Aaron is busy working pretty much 2 jobs as he's hoping to possibly start his own business within the next year.

I've been trying to collect the fabric and notions to make a few baby slings to sell off and hopefully I'll actually find the time to do it as well!

I'm really finding that God is able to help with the day to day little things more than I could have ever thought. I get frustrated and I just stop and pray. I get a few moments and I stop to read my bible. Its so wonderful to have someone to call on who's always there and always knows the best thing to do! Its when I don't ask His advice that I find myself having rotton days. I'm not good at memorizing verses but I've decided I'm going to try a little harder to. This is my verse. Eccl 7:9 "Be not hasty in they spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools" I know some people may not think this verse applies to me but I do have a short fuse with my kids sometimes. I also really like this verse, but its REALLY long. Heb 12:1 "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us." My "race" as a wife/mother is set before me and I sure do feel as though I'm running somedays! Whether or not I'm running it with patience is a whole other thing!
