Shaken, Not Stirred

Life around here has been shaken up. I do mean shaken, not stirred. It is times like these that my faith is tested and my purpose in life is at the front of my mind. So much is going on that I could never condense it and try to explain it all. Too many ingredients to list.

I am excited for what God has in store for us. I am holding on the the fact that before my life began He knew everything. This past week I just keep saying to myself be anxious for nothing. Phillippians 4:6 Do not be anxious for anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. So, this is what I must do. Pray, petition and be thankful.

It is hard to be thankful when you life is shaken up. Don't get me wrong my life is blessed! I just feel like we are at a turning point and with that comes lots of self reflection. I have to run the race as if to win. There is only one race and I feel like I have just been jogging along. It is time to pick up the pace. What that means for my life I don't know, but I feel like my attitude must be one of winning and not just jogging along keeping everything happy and comfortable. Being shaken is good when you know the prize.

Lucky Saint Patrick's Day!

Ada you will love this... Madison loses her tooth yesterday on the way home from school. I am so excited, I take a picture as soon as she gets out of the van and post it everywhere and email it to family. I clean it off and put it in a zip lock (easier to find under the pillow, right?) and we tuck it under the pillow and we all, ALL fall asleep. Madison wakes up at 5:30 AM and says to me, "I can't see if the tooth fairy left me anything". PANIC stricken. I FORGOT THE TOOTH FAIRY JOB! Okay this is my only job on earth. I can't remember to exchange cash for a baby tooth. I send her to the couch and tell her it is too early that she has to try and go back to sleep. I grab Marks elbow and he says to me, "it is only 5:30". He was awake and heard her too. We both lay in silence for 30 minutes hoping she falls asleep. Funny thing is once we talked to each other thirty minutes later, both of us were in bed formulating a plan. He wanted to sneak out our

NaNoWriMo & Supplies

What do you really need for NaNoWriMo? I like using my Mac and Microsoft Word. It is that plain and simple. A computer, text editing program and time will get you 50,000 words. Some people do hand write their novel during NaNoWriMo, or so I hear. I know I will not hand write my novel. Then you have to count all those words. My fingers and hands can't do it. It is painful to type at times but hand writing is more painful to me. Plus, my procrastination side will never count handwritten words. I started to write this blog many hours ago (now yesterday). It also happens to be the weekend and my computer guy (by computer guy I mean my husband) decided to help me find some storage space on my hard drive today. I would love a new Mac Book Pro but that is not in the budget and I really don't have time to learn a new computer days before NaNoWriMo. About a week ago I started to get start up memory warnings on my computer. Not what a girl wants to see two weeks before

Mohawk!

Um, where to start? I went away for the weekend with girlfriends to get some R & R and scrapbook. Little did I know I was going to come home to a Mohawk. GO RAYS! I think Nathan is loving the attention that comes with such a dramatic do. I really can't believe Mark did such a crazy thing. I don't think anyone that saw Nathan at church could believe it either. For all you wondering, I love it and I will go away on another girls weekend. It's not like he gave all the kids a mohawk. The girls still have their lovely locks.
