Keep Smiling

With all that is going on with our "trial" God sends us little blessings to get through each day. Jackson has been such a reminder of God's goodness and grace. I don't know what I'd do without him(or Scott). Here are some pictures of our little blessing:)

"Cheese!"

Jackson has been anti-hat lately. It is freezing out here and he needs a hat but quickly takes it off right after we put it on. Well, after dinner on Saturday night Jackson decided to put his hat on himself and began to say cheese before we even turned around. It was hilarious because he couldn't get the hat on all the way so we were cracking up and he was just so proud that he put his hat on himself. I guess the trick is to make putting the hat on his decision!

Achoo!

In this photo Jackson decided his lunch plate would be his hat.


Here Jack said "achoo" to get the plate off his head. He learned this beautiful trick at MyGym...thank goodnes for them:)


Okay, so first I have to say that Jackson and Gavin have become inseperable. They get SO excited when they see each other often times hugging each other when they are reunited. Here they are hanging out in Scott's chair.


Here they are getting their toes. They thought this was hilarious! They were giggling so much. It was great!!!

Through all this I am reminded of a verse my pastor from California sent me: Romans 8:28 (KJV) And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Notoriety

Teenage Mother A donkey owner Simon of Cyrene Who are these people? I am sure you can figure out the first one: Mary the mother of Jesus. Who are the others and what do all three of these people have in common? They all did extraordinary things but, for the most part, went unseen. Do you ever feel unseen? Undervalued? I do. I try not to get caught up in that space, but I find myself there too often. While Mary is infamous today, she wasn't when she brought the King into this world. She was a teenager who gave birth in a barn. She was an outcast who was pregnant but not married. She told of an unbelievable story involving an angel, a Spirit, and a Savior who was going to save the world. Could you even imagine? It's easy for us to be in awe of Mary. We know the whole story. She didn't. And neither did the people around her. She had to live it. To top it all off, she had to watch her beloved son die a gruesome death. Talk about feeling unseen and undervalued. She faithfu...

Don't Lose You

When Jackson was a baby, I would hop into my car on my lunch break and rush to his day care to see him. I had thirty minutes with my baby and I needed every last second. I was a mess of a new mom and had a really hard time leaving him everyday. I was caught in the conundrum of loving teaching with all that I was and loving being a mom desperately wanting to stay home. I established a neat relationship with Jack's care-takers. They were a little older than me and much wiser. They will never fully know how appreciative I am for their advice and comfort during those beginning moments as a mama. When I decided to leave my teaching career and move halfway across the country to do so, they gave me a piece of advice that I didn't take seriously initially but now hold dear. They told me I had to find something for me. They watched me finish my master's that year and knew I was the type that needed to be doing. They recognized that I was about to enter a season where I had to hold...

The Promise Land

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 We Christians like this verse; like A LOT. We have it written all over the place. We hang this verse up in our home and tattoo it to our bodies. Jeremiah 29:11 is everyone's life verse. I mean, who doesn't want to rest in knowing the God has a plan for our life; especially when that plan includes safety and prosperity. Even if I didn't believe in God, I would hold onto this verse. What if, however, we have been misinterpreting this verse all these years? This life, the here and the now, we like it. Well, some of us probably want to throw this life in the trash like a rough draft and have a do-over. But, for the most part, we hold onto this life for dear life. It is all we know. It can be scary to think of anything else. Because of this, we go all in even when the cards we are dealt are bad. Thi...
