Tell Me, Tell Me, Tell Me!

A lot of things are changing my perspective these days. I got a little lost in "blog world" the other night and ended up reading for hours about women, moms particularly, who are doing amazing things. AMAZING THINGS. Like this woman and her friend. These moms were just going about their comfy little lives when the Lord started to move and speak and they let him. (Oh that I will let him!)

And of course I am floored, quite literally, by the work the Lord is doing through this girl. I just sat back and thought, Lord, what are you stirring here? I know it's something, I've been feeling it for a while, and I know I'm not alone in this feeling, so what are you doing?

I started pleading with him to tell me, begging, jumping up and down like a little kid whose daddy has a fantastic surprise behind his back and I just can't figure out which hand it's in. I know in due time he'll open his hands, I'm just getting so excited!

Is anyone else feeling this? Any insight?

Sarah - I am in the same spot. I have been praying for several months and asking God to do HUGE things in my life. I believe HE can. I, too, get excited thinking about what that could entail. I have for many months had a blog in my head titled "When I grow up I want to be Katie." She recommends a series of sermons on her last post. Have you listened to any of them? They are so challenging and full of truth. xoxo c

No, I haven't dared listen to them yet, isn't that sad? But I'm honestly a little scared to because I think, I'll listen to them - and then what? What in my life can I really change? And when I start to think about that question the answers are very scary. But thanks for encouraging me to listen to them!! I will this weekend. Then we can talk about them. :-)

Crafty Me

I'm pretty excited because I'm not crafty, at all, but when I saw this idea on my new favorite crafty blog I got all giddy because I thought, "I can do that!" and so I did. And since my kids ARE crafty, go figure, I had all the stuff to make them on hand - yippee! All I had to do was buy the goodies that make the wings, which only cost me a dollar (thank you Dollar Tree!). I put them in the kid's little Easter buckets. I hope they like them as much I do. :-)

In a Nut Shell...

Saturday afternoon, 2pm, got home from Costco and thought I might be going into labor. Troy woke up from his nap at 3:30, sensed what was going on and was not too happy about it at all. Thinking it was pretty early, but not want wanting to take any chances, we left for the hospital a bit before 4 o'clock Yep, too early. Walked the halls for an hour which produced more of these... Which felt like this... And at 8:42pm they led to this... We are so thrilled to add a precious baby girl to our family We love you Mia Joy! (7lbs 2oz, 18.5" long)

I know that people come from good places and the intentions behind their comments are never bad, and sometimes they're actually funny, but sometimes I just want to say, um, really? Is that the BEST thing you can think of to say? Here are some of my faves from last week... "I'm going to un-friend you on facebook because you do not look like you just had a baby a week ago." - sorry? "What's her name? ... Oh I know SO MANY Mia's. Like, SO many." - great. "Are you guys finished yet? Is there some literature out there I can get for you (to teach you about prevention)?" (This one is my favorite) - "I'm the oldest of three and I am SO glad my parent's didn't have a fourth." - um... okay. This is the one I hear from almost everyone, it's not necessarily a bad thing to say, I just get it A LOT, "Two boys and two girls? Oh, the perfect family." Does that mean before Mia we had an imperfect family? I also hear endle
