"...when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is." 1 John 3:2
So, last month I joined in with Amanda in her Monthly Mission to PRAY with my kids. Since one of the focuses of our prayer was other nations of the world, we ended up praying for the countries of the children we sponsor through Compassion Canada. This led to us looking at maps to see where they lived and reminded me that the Monthly Mission from April had been to write your Compassion child a letter. So, even though we {Read More}
As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been joining in with Amanda at ohamanda.com in her Monthly Mission, which is PRAYER this month! In my last post, I talked about how we have been praying with our kids about the issue of LIFE, and in this post, I’m just going to share how we took some of Amanda’s ideas from her post and added some of our ideas to it. I LOVED Amanda’s post and creative activities that {Read More}
I had hoped to have this post up earlier, but we are still trying to recover and catch up with life after being on a road trip for over 2 weeks with our three young kiddos, so things are taking a little longer to get done. I’ve talked about my friend Amanda at ohamanda.com several times before, as she is the writer of the fantastic eBook “Truth in the Tinsel“. Recently, she has also started a series on her blog {Read More}
Just a few months ago, I had the amazing privilege of hearing my son Justice share with me his salvation experience – what a joy! On March 21st, my husband Joe got to share this same joy as he led our daughter Rayah in her own acceptance of Jesus as her Savior! If you don’t follow his blog, I wanted to give you the opportunity to read the story – Part 1 and Part 2. As we did with Justice, {Read More}
Happy 1st Birthday Eden!! I know this post is EXTREMELY late, as Eden turned 1 year old on February 12th, but better late than never! I started back at work this month, so life has been a little busier, to say the least, and blogging has sort of fallen to the bottom of the list these days. However, we had a lot of fun celebrating our little guy and he is such a delight (as is the meaning of his {Read More}
Happy 11 Months Eden! Not too much to report this month. No more teeth yet, though his top gums are bulging and ready to pop any day now. Even with just two teeth, he eats a lot of the same things we do and continues to be very demanding and loud at meal time. A big event was his first Christmas, opening his first gifts and having fun playing with all of them with his cousins and siblings. Another first {Read More}
On a Friday morning, December 7th, my kids were eating their snack and I was unassuming, working on my computer when Justice interrupted me in the midst of chewing on his apple slice to casually inform me that while he was sleeping he asked Jesus to come into his heart! I immediately stopped what I was doing and gave him my full attention. This was something we have obviously been praying for, for all of our children, but I have {Read More}
Eden refused to give me one single smile in his guitar case photo shoot this month. He’s definitely outgrowing this little growth measurement chart & is getting tired of it – just two more months, Buddy! No more teeth this month, but that sure hasn’t stopped him from eating a lot more variety of solid foods. I’ve started letting him eat things like bread, pancakes, french fries, Kraft Dinner (we officially have another KD-lover in the family), and many of {Read More}
Tomorrow is December 1st and our family’s Christmas celebrations will officially begin! As a young family, we are still figuring out what traditions we want to have, so it is quite basic for the time being. I started by making the same Christmas cookies I made last year – Coffee Fingers, Almond Tea Cookies and Gramma Cookies. I tried a new recipe for the Gramma Cookies this year, which I liked better & I made a yummy almond flavored icing {Read More}
So, I’ve been talking a lot about Truth in the Tinsel lately, but if you still haven’t gone ahead and bought it for yourself, TODAY IS THE DAY to get it!! Amanda is offering a Black Friday deal where if you buy Truth in the Tinsel ($7.99), you will get the printable ornaments ($3.99) for FREE! Here’s how you do it… 1. Go add Truth in the Tinsel to your cart – DO NOT add the printable ornaments. If you {Read More}
