Wake Up Call





Oh Jackson. You never cease to amaze and surprise us! Grady and I were still asleep while Scott was getting ready for work right before 7am. Scott finished up and I heard him looking for Jackson. All of a sudden we hear the ding of the back door being opened and I hear the following conversation:

Scott: Why are you naked? Why are you wet?
Jackson: Because I went in the sprink-al-lers. It is fun going in the sprink-al-lers.
Scott: How'd you get outside? (Scott answers himself) Oh. You pushed your table over and unlocked the door.

Jackson slid his small picnic table over to the door, unlocked the hotel lock and the other two locks, took off his jammies, and took off running. A few minutes later Jack was dressed and in bed with me and explained that his hair was wet because he had fun going in the sprinklers. Then he asked me why they went off so fast. Our sprinklers do a three minute water on each section of our yard. Poor guy only got a quick run through. Maybe I should try a run through the sprinklers in the morning instead of my regular cup of coffee.

Through all his craziness, Jackson is a very sweet boy; especially to his brother. Grady was on the floor today rolling around playing with his toys. Jack got down on the floor with him and helped Grady grab his toys and play. They are so cute together! I love watching them play! Grady just LOVES his big brother!

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...

Our Miracle

"He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted." Job 9:10 "You are the God who performs miracles; You will display Your power among the peoples." Psalm 77:14 Meet our miracle...and our secret. Yes, it is true. I am pregnant; about twelve weeks and a few days to be exact. We wanted to make sure this baby was healthy before announcing how great God has been to us! We have known about this precious little blessing for a little over two months and have eagerly awaited numerous sonogram and test results. We have witnessed God's mighty, yet gentle, hand every Tuesday for the past five weeks. This baby is a fighter. However, the road is not "clear" quite yet. We met with the pareanatoligist today to do a sonogram and blood test to determine if there are any chromosomal abnormalities; specifically Downs, and Trisomy 13 and 18. Although the sonogram looked great and the doctor said we were in the "safe zone," we are stil...

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...
