One Of Those Moments

Last night I had one of those moments where you just stare at your kids and are filled to the brim with the deepest love for them. The kind where you look at them and are taken back to the moment when you are laying in a hospital room and a doctor places your brand new baby on your chest, and then time flashes back to the present and they are singing songs like "God's word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." And you wonder when did they ever get so big??? And you beg God to let them stay little forever. But you know it won't happen.

*sigh*

I love these little monkeys. They are my world.

When they play together... when they help each other... when they say goodnight to each other... when they give each other hugs or kisses... when Levi says "it's ok" to Audrey when she's upset... when they sing together in the car... when Audrey has to do everything just like her older brother... when they make each other laugh...

oh the laughter. Music to mine ears.

I feel like my tiny heart could just burst into a million pieces.

My precious babies. I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living, my babies you'll be.

Tis The Season

Just got home from Urgent Care with Levi...

diagnosis: Strep Throat. (at the hospital he had a 105.3 temp.!!!!)

I'm just ready for the members of this household to be WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!

can a girl get a break??

Please keep my precious little boy in your prayers. He's pretty miserable. The doctor took one look at his throat and said "that throat looks bad!! EVERYTHING is swollen."

*sigh*

Always Low Prices...

I went to HyVee today and I was walking down the Christmas aisle when I saw this...



SERIOUSLY??

I was thinking it must have been an accident on the part of the person who assembled the tree...

and then I saw the tag....

This is no joke, folks...



SERIOUSLY??

haha. Go to HyVee and check out the upside down Christmas tree... and if you have $193.00 to throw away... it can be yours!!

When I Say I Am A Christian

I'm stealing this from Mindi...
with all of the stres in my life right now, this just rang so very true to me.

When I say, “I am a Christian”When I say, “I am a Christian,” I’m not shouting “I've been saved!” I’m whispering, “I get lost! That's why I chose this way”

When I say, “I am a Christian,” I don’t speak with human pride, I’m confessing that I stumble - needing God to be my guide

When I say, “I am a Christian” I’m not trying to be strong I’m professing that I’m weak and pray for strength to carry on

When I say, “I am a Christian,” I’m not bragging of success I’m admitting that I've failed and cannot ever pay the debt

When I say, “I am a Christian,” I don't think I know it all I submit to my confusion asking humbly to be taught

When I say, “I am a Christian,” I’m not claiming to be perfect My flaws are far too visible but God believes I’m worth it

When I say, “I am a Christian,” I still feel the sting of pain I have my share of heartache which is why I seek His name

When I say, “I am a Christian,” I do not wish to judge I have no authority -- I only know I’m loved
