On my walk...


I was outside this morning taking a walk...and it was so beautiful outside....so balmy...such a warm breeze going. It was so peaceful. My house was still quiet, except for Matt getting breakfast going. He is so wonderful to allow me a few minutes in the morning of exercise and quietness. Anyway, I was thinking of some friends (I was reminded of them because I was listening to their first dance song from their wedding on my MP3 player)...and I was then drawn to thoughts of my kids future spouses. I know my head wanders a bit...I was thinking of the foundation that Matt and I are pouring out to our kids...and what we are saying to them, showing them and just reviewing some of the aspects of the future. It is a bit frightful...but at the same time so exciting. I was also thinking about some of the things that I think are so imperative for each of their choices. I am came to the conclusion that the number one thing that I would want them to require of a future spouse...is their singleness in the Lord. I want them to know who they are in the Lord and are so grounded firmly in him. I was reading Matthew 7 this morning and it was talking about being grounded firmly in the rock. That's what I want. So they can truly live out their destiny. And now some fun stuff. I would love Esther to marry a Spanish person...what beautiful babies...and Caleb to marry an Asian woman...that makes my mouth water...grand babies that look like Tiger Woods. Okay...back to reality. The thought for today is to pray for your children and who they choose for their life partners. It will affect everyone in your family. Blessings on this Monday.
*One day my kids will hate that I took all these pictures of them. Here is Chewy (yes we call Judah "Chewy," long story) in my drawer on my bookshelf. He climbs into and onto everything. So adorable!

Gratitude Friday

Haven't done a gratitude Friday in a long time. It is nice to take a moment and realize what God has done in your life. 1. Thankful for Matt's new car. When the enemy tried to turn something good into bad, the Lord's provision overrides. 2. Thankful for all of Judah's curls. 3. Thankful for the good report at the neurosurgeon's office on Monday. We are believing for a easy repair of the malformed artery. 4. Thankful for the rain that just came down...so cleansing. 5. Thankful for His presence and His voice. 6. Thankful for my boy turning five. Oh, who knows what adventures we have before us in the future. I can't wait.

Embrace The Camera

This is the first time that I am doing Embrace the Camera. Head over to one of my favorite blogs ...www.andersonfamilycrew.blogspot.com ...and check out her Embrace the Camera day. Her goal is to have a day where you just post pictures of YOU and your kids or anyone special in your life. I have found we have had whole days, outings, vacations where I don't appear in any pictures...so sad right? One day my kids will look back and wonder where I am...haha, behind the camera. Well, that's not good enough. So, here I am. Embracing the camera with my favorite people in the world. After church on Sunday, Esther wanted to take a picture of all of us. This is an impromptu picture. I love these people. After I wanted to snap a picture of one of my favorite people...my boy William. So sweet. I love this little man...toothless and all. Thanks Emily, for continuing with the Embrace the Camera. I finally did it!
