Springtime Already???

Ah, open the windows, breath in the fresh air, enjoy the sunshine, and get in your closet. WHAT? Get in my closet? Already? Geesh! Well, it seems that it is that time of year again in Texas. We had our first big storm of the season and all wound up in the closet around 9:30pm last night. I actually didn't take this storm as seriously just because they had been talking it up all day and nothing was happening. However, I was mistaken.

I was in bed enjoying some peace and quiet and a little OC Housewives when the wind started picking up. I thought, "Hmmm, might as well flip to see if the news is showing anything." When I turned it on there was a tornado warning one county over and the little spinning yellow circle was headed our way. It's never good to see the spinning yellow circles on the radar heading toward you...lol. Anyway, I went upstairs to tell Scott that we may have a warning and then our sirens went off. So, he got Jack and I grabbed the computer and some other stuff and into the closet we went. I guess we needed some extra family bonding time last night:)

The storm was loud but passed quickly. Then total silence. I always wonder if the storm has passed or I am in the middle of the tornado when that happens. It's just so weird that it can be so loud and then so quiet. We were in the closet for about ten minutes and then all was good. We came out, the skies cleared, and then we had to put a toddler back to bed. Ha! That's funny. Poor Jackson was so tired and confused when we went to get him but he did finally go back to sleep. Hopefully this will be our first and last visit to the closet for the season!

I hear ya! We were at Tyron's baskeball game when our sirens went off. We all had to pack into the foyer of the gym. Crazy weather. It's awfully early in the year for such bad weather. I agree, maybe this will be the only bad, bad weather we get!

Holy Holy

I can't stop singing, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty." Scott and I went to the "big" ultrasound today where we tested to see if our baby had Down's, one of the Trisomy disorders, or any neural tube defects. I must admit the palms were a little sweaty and the heart was racing a bit. As surreal as this pregnancy is, I don't want anything to be wrong with this precious life inside of me. Well, holy is right. The Lord is not just good; He is awesome! Our little baby instantly began moving and grooving for us showing off fingers and toes and a great heart beat! Even though I am on my third, watching the miracle of life on that screen NEVER gets old! It truly blows my mind every time I get to see our precious angels developing inside of me! The scan came out wonderfully. We got all positives on all the scans the doctor (who was absolutely INCREDIBLE) could do. Now we just wait for some blood work to confirm that everything is okay with our little boy. ...

Tuesday Toddler Tales~A Mother's Worst Nightmare

I lost Jack. Don't worry, he has been found but for the longest I'd say 8 minutes of my life he was gone. I was at the mall with two girlfriends and their kiddos. We were all having lunch at the food court when I stepped away to get some ketchup. Jack stayed behind with his friends. I was gone for maybe a minute and a half or so. When I came back he was gone. His chair was pushed in and empty. I began to panic. One friend stayed behind with all the other kids while my other friend and I darted off in oposite directions. Others began to notice our panic and jumped in the search with us. I saw nothing in my direction, not even shoppers. I turned around and started the other way. I got to the carousel where I thought he'd be and he wasn't. At this point it took everything in my power not to faint. I felt like everything around me was spinning. I was so overwhelmed with where to look. I just kept running, frantically asking people if they saw a little blond-haired boy with ...

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...
