Seasons

"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what has been planted;
a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
a time to tear, and a to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
a time to love, and a time to hate,
a time for war, and time for peace." Ecclesiastes 3:1-8



I love our Great God. I pray that my life would reflect that better.
I love that I can trust that nothing that comes my way has not gotten to me by chance, but has already been through His hands, and He is ordaining it. I love my Sovereign God. He is above all! I am so thankful that I can lean in on Him when all things seem to be out of sorts...because in Him there is no variation or shadow due to change! He is the unstoppable, unchangeable, great I AM!
Praise Him!

Its beginning to look a lot like.....

I'm SO ready for FALL to be over. I think my husband is tired of hearing me talk about it, and quite honestly, this is the first time in, well ever, that I've ever wanted to this season to be done.
I trace it to this season of pregnancy I'm in. I feel yucky all the time, and so the looks of fall, pumpkins, leaves, candy, and halloween are making me sick. HAHA. Normally I love this time of year.

SO, hopefully this nausea will subside soon and I'll be feeling well again, and be able to handle most of November with a more tolerable attitude. :)

That said, when I start to feel really bad, I turn on Christmas music and start thinking about Christmas decorations. I'm silly...but sometimes it does work.

Anyways, that's it.
The kids are loving all the stuff this year. They got to trick or treat at Weston's work yesterday. And if you think Christians shouldn't participate in this stuff...I would love to discuss it with you, because while I do have concerns in it all, I have come around from where I was 4 years ago in my thinking about it all.
This year we have a little Snow White and a Knight. And they are cute! :)

I think that's it this time.
Have a blessed day.


Currently listening to: Bing Crosby, White Christmas :)

Just for Fun

I am very uninspired right now...so I have nothing to write about. :)

This morning I thought I'd post some "tickers". for fun!

Little Baby

We found out last week that we are expecting baby number 3. WOO! Kinda crazy, but very exciting.

We went to dr's appt #1 today and had the sono done, along with a TON of blood work. Our official due date is May 8, 2010. It seems so far away right now. Anyways, all it good, even feeling like I'm going to upchuck all the time is a good thing! :) Knowing it's for a good cause makes it worth it. Hope that it ends around the start of the 2nd trimester like the last 2. :)

Can't believe it...it still doesn't seem real.

Well, here's to being about 9 weeks 5 days!

May the blessings of God be upon you today!

Shhhhhh......

.....

Have a blessed day in Jesus!

Some New Books

I'm very excited. Today we made a trip down to the PCPC book store. :) I haven't been in AGES! So it was a nice little treat. The kids played and watched a couple short things while Weston and I looked and looked an looked. I went with a very specific list of books I wanted. They didn't have any...that was a little bummer. HOWEVER, I did walk out with 3 new books.

1. Uprooting Anger by Robert D. Jones. If you've been reading my blog for any amount of time you probably know this is an area that I struggle deeply with. I need Jesus, and I pray that He will use this to pry more of this root out of my heart!

2. Girl Talk by Carolyn Mahaney and her daughter Nicole Whitacre. I didn't think about this book being something I would be interested in quite yet, since Hannah is only 3 1/2. But after looking through it today I realized I was wrong. So I picked it up and am looking forward to getting into it!

3. Teach Your Children to Pray by Denise George. This one looked really neat. I asked Weston to take a look at it while we were still there and he liked it. It's a simple fun book filled with helps and idea to grow you and your family in the area of Prayer together.

So that's it. We've had a good week with Weston off of work. He'll be hittin' the books again tomorrow and back to the work world on Monday.

I have a lot of other stuff to write about, but that will be for another time!

"And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful." Colossians 3:15

First Day of Autumn
