Have a Safe Memorial Day Weekend!

I come from a military family and Memorial Day was always cause for great family cookouts. While my family and I have no big plans this year, we might have a cookout at some point - however, the portable shed we (and by we, I mean Hubby and his dad :) need to put up should be done this weekend. We plan to park our lawn equipment mostly in there, but this is the first step to getting some of the large stuff out of the garage so that it can eventually be turned into a laundry room/office to make room in the current office for Lil Princess. :)

I just wanted to pop on here and tell you all to have a wonderful weekend with family and friends and stay safe! Be blessed!

Oh - and by the way...I have begun reading the Christian Atheist (Hubby finished it the other day) and I highly recommend it. Wow! Craig Groeschel has an awesome way of wording things so that they are entertaining, but do not detract from his heartfelt and very important message. If you have not yet heard of this book or you have not been sure about it - it will very likely touch you in the first few pages as Craig Groeschel gets right to the heart of the matter.

I want to thank you for visiting our little blog over at 2 little Boys and a Blessing on the Way. We clearly know what an amazing God we serve, and I am glad to know your testimony of how He has touched your life as well. If you read back on any of our blog history, then you may or may not know that both of our 2 little Boys were brought into our lives by God's grace through medical intervention. However, when we still felt God calling us to try one more time, doctors were telling us not to, God had other plans and had already placed our little girl within me. We are blessed and amazed by His power in our lives.

I pray that the rest of your pregnancy goes well and that you and your family have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.

I saw this book in Lifeway on Wednesday, but didn't get it. Maybe I should go back and pick it up!

On the Brink of More Change...

I can feel it. I am on the cusp of something new. Something different. Something beautiful. I still have no idea what God might be up to - and I am truly okay with that at the moment. I have completed another round of Freedom in Christ. God spoke to me in so many ways...and He continues to do so. I feel so very valued and treasured by my Father. I am in relationship with Him in ways that I always wanted - yet never really felt were achievable. As I have put forth the effort to come to Him more consistently and with a growing desire to go deeper, He has been unendingly gracious and faithful. So as I fall on my face, He gently leans in and scoops me up. The panic and anxiety that once ruled my life are far less, and the calm amidst the  chaos has grown exponentially. I know where to go when it begins to grow again...and it does. Sometimes. Yet God is always ready when I call on Him...and that in and of itself are a learning curve for me. I've learned that others are not constant. Sh...

I Have Returned to the Land of the Living...

I promise that I'm around and making it here! It's been pretty crazy what with starting school and becoming a leader in our homeschool support group. (In my defense, I didn't realize that was what I was doing. I thought I was going to coordinate the holiday parties...turns out when you only have one active officer, said officer reserves the right to make you a leader in that group. Hmm. The things you learn. :) School is going okay...or should I be more specific? Social studies, Language Arts and Science are going okay...mathematics? Not so great. We have determined that Hooked on Math is NOT a good match for my child. He gets SO frustrated he winds up in tears within seconds of the MENTION of "Hooked on Math". (While I must admit that a portion of this is due to his processing issues and I want him to learn to be more flexible, I NEVER want him to be THIS stressed out. Therefore we are searching for a new math program/curriculum. I am very interested in Math-U-Se...

Keeping My Eyes Fixed In the Storms of Life

On September 20th, my father-in-law collapsed at home. My mother-in-law called 9-1-1 and emergency crews arrived within a few minutes. During that time, he stopped breathing and had no heartbeat. Emergency crews were able to revive him, and he was transported to a local heart hospital. The next two weeks were nothing short of torturous. In order to stop potential brain damage, he underwent a procedure that chilled his core body temperature almost 10 degrees and then after 24 hours, warmed him to normal body temp. Doctors were unsure if he would awake. However, after 12 days on the ventilator, when it was removed, it was like someone flipped a switch. He simply woke up. Even the doctors were amazed. Still groggy from the medications used during that time, he remembers nothing from that time, until about 5 days later, shortly before he had his pacemaker installed. Twenty-two days after his "cardiac event", he was released from the hospital. Still quite weak, he continues to g...
