quick update

hey all! i haven't dropped off of the face of the earth, but here's a quick update: i got sick after that last post. i've been on the mend since... :) we had maddie's 5th birthday at the beach (i am uploading pics later today if i can get them all edited by then :) ryan has been working 12 hour night shifts, so sleeping for him has been the priority here as of late. i have begun a few things... one group of my friends calls it the "weightloss wagon", i call it operation weightloss, and another group of my friends calls it "mission slimpossible" i love all three names, so needless to say, i am working on some really healthy options and perhaps i will shed some pounds and make my gerd/asthma better. i also have been invited to go try zumba tonight. i am going to let you in on a secret, i am not really very pumped about it. i am worried because of my asthma, but that's ok, by going i can find out if i will like it as well as meet with someone a

One of my favorite songs

In between challenges, while my layouts are drying, I thought I would play around here... One of my favorite bands is Jesus Culture! Totally my music. Anyway, this is one of my favorite songs!!! You won't relent until you have it all My heart is yours I'll set You as a seal upon my heart As a seal upon my arm For there is love that is as strong as death Jealousy demanding as the grave Many waters cannot quench this love Come be the fire inside of me Come be the flame upon my heart Come be the fire inside of me Until You and I are one Come be the fire inside of me Come be the flame upon my heart Come be the fire inside of me Until You and I are one What do I love about this song? The happy dance my heart does when it's on! It uplifts me even when I am depressed! I can praise this song at any moment in my day and it will do miracles in my soul! It is on my playlist at the bottom of my blog if you want to listen to it!!

I do have to say that her handwriting is improving so very much! she is reading up a storm and now we just have to focus on her mathmatics ability. i loved math, but ryan hated it from what i understand... kenzie doesn't mind it she just struggles with it... and that is all i have the energ

Today's Sermon Notes

The Law of Priority Matthew 6:33 But seek first his Kingdom and his righteousness, and all things will be given to you as well. The word first means: -first in priority -order of importance What are the priorities when it comes to families? 1.

The family is second -you are married to your spouse and not to your parents or other family members -you are married to your spouse and not to your grandchildren -even though the Lord is #1 in your life you are still married to your spouse 3. work is third 2 Thessalonians 3:10-15 For even when we were with you, we gave this rule: "The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat." We hear that some among you are idle and disruptive. They are not busy; they are busybodies. Such people we c
