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.

Hope all is well, don't know what's going on but like you said God is in control. Like the new layout, it's very pretty:)

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 ...

Thank You 2010

I try very hard not to base my life on my location, size of house, materials I possess, new cars or the latest fashions. It is not something that is easy for me or something I don't have to work on everyday. I have chosen my life to be about Christ and not this world. I try to understand this world in the point of view of Christ. This world is not about what, but who. Even if you are not a Christian it is nobel to do for others. I have chosen in my life to follow Christ. Not perfect, just forgiven. I chose to help organizations that are centered on the love of Christ. My main point this holiday season is to remember the who and not the what. I always thought it would be cool to start a Thank You Card movement. Not that I do things for a thank you. A thank you card just shows me that I did something for someone else that was nice, meaningful, worthy. Kinda like a report card. So my challenge to you is to get a thank you card in 2010. It doesn't have to cost you mon...

Southern Charm

We made an offer (low), the owners countered (expected) and they countered exactly what I thought they would. So, unless the inspector says the house should be demolished we will be the owners of a 1965, full brick, colonial style, bi-level house the second week of July or earlier. It is on a golf course, 6th fairway. It has a pool, fireplace, an original 60's kitchen (redo), hardwood floors, two car garage and much more. We know the process is long when buying a house in this condition. It's not in deplorable shape, livable in need of some updates. It is 44 years old and has not had major updates. This house is 10 years newer than our last house. It has character and southern charm. Not perfect, but perfect for us. Photos on the web are copyrighted. Not sure If I can post them here. I will try and do a link instead......
