Wow!

Wow!! God is speaking to me today!

We can't let our children neglect their spiritual lives for sports or extracurricular activities and for us media! There is nothing wrong with kids playing sports or being involved with extracurricular activities as long as it does not compromise their spiritual lives! Both our kids play sports, enjoy choir and art. But we need to be more concerned with our kids eternity vs their position and popularity in this world! This world is so backwards, we pride ourselves on position on money and junk! This world is so full of compromise. We said long ago our kids are not allowed to play sports or have concerts on Sundays if it interferes with us going to church as a family. We have to live for Christ not this world! One day Gary and I are going to be held accountable at the feet of Jesus for the way we raised our family. We have big dreams and would love to see Lilly and Owen succeed in all God has for them. My fear of God is so much bigger than the opinions of people in this world! Praying for my kiddos today that they remain strong in their faith! As for me and my house we will serve the lord!

Excellent message today at Radiant Church!

Sleeping Beauty, Kind of

Lilly does not sleep. From the sweet moment she entered life I learned that the kid functions on very little sleep. As she has gotten older we have become a little more lenient with her. During the school year she can stay up but only in her bed, during off times we let her stay awake within reason. She never has a problem getting out of bed and has excellent grades. So as a momma that needs her sleep, I have had to learn this little lady that is energetic and ready to go all day and night! This morning when I woke up I found this in the refrigerator, so as you can see there are some benefits to a responsible young lady who doesn't sleep!

Uggg the Struggle

I have lost about ten pounds but this is a struggle. I'm really struggling with my thyroid and how awful I feel. I pretend I feel cheerful and well when I'm struggling with how tired and blah I really am. However, I'm totally committed to not taking the synthroyd. That medicine does ugly things to me and this tired thing will eventually go away. My biggest complaint and concern is my skin. I'm breaking out like crazy. It's terrible and I feel like crawling in a hole. But I know this will pass and beauty is on the inside. God sees my heart!

I have always romanticized about walking in the rain.I tell you three miles is only romantic if you are walking with your love! Not alone freezing and running through hail! Lol!

Pizza in the Park

We took a little drive to Salida! We are loving our little dog! We love taking him on our family adventures. One day he won't be so little. I love my sweet family, this has been an amazing summer!

Friday's

During the Summer the kids and I have little adventures while Gary is at work. This past Friday we spent some time swimming at Memorial Lake. We are loving taking Mac with us, he is going to be a water doggies

Oh This Kid

What a summer of growing Owen did! He is a sweet hard working little man! He deserved a little treat for being home alone, making dinner and making sure the house stayed clean! I'm a proud momma!

Driving This Thing

The things I'll do for my Pastors!

Camp

Lilly went to middle school church camp! I love my sweet girl and have big prayers for her. I pray that she follow Jesus and not the world. That she look to God and no one else. For a young lady who is in public school I can imagine how hard it is to follow the light when so many people compromise. I'm praying against compromise that both the kids stand with Jesus, even if it looks funny for the world we live in. Gary and I are so thankful that Lilly has these memories.
