Motherhood is a marathon. Enjoy the run.
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever. Psalm 107:1 We don't know the exact day we met, because we didn't realize at the time that we were making history, but this week, twenty years ago, I met my husband. It's hard to believe it's really been that long. But on the other hand, a lot of life has happened in those twenty years. It took us a while to … [Read more...]
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever. Psalm 107:1 Pregnancy is an amazing thing. I am in awe each and every single time we have a baby. Watching my belly grow, feeling movement, then bigger movement, then SEEING movement is a wonderful, miraculous experience! I love that moms get to know by feeling, that their precious little one is growing stronger and … [Read more...]
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever. Psalm 107:1 I'm 20 weeks today! Half way there for most normal women, but I'm not counting on holding my sweet newborn for another 22 weeks. Yeah, that's right. I'm an "over-achiever" when it comes to growing babies. Just ask Dylan, Drew, and Landen who all weighed in over nine pounds at birth. :) This … [Read more...]
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever. Psalm 107:1 Our oldest son, Nolan just turned 14! I've been a bit of an emotional sap lately. Realizing how quickly they really do grow up, I've been snapping pictures here and there of sweet moments that I know in just a few short years, I'll be looking back, saying, "remember those days? The days I thought I … [Read more...]
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever. Psalm 107:1 This past weekend, we were able to spend a lot of time together as a family. I love that. Dax came home Friday evening, handed me his phone and said, "here ya go!" I haven't smiled that big in a long time. We were both excited for the long break we were getting ready to start. We spent the weekend … [Read more...]
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever. Psalm 107:1 We've been waiting and waiting for this day. Anticipating it with much excitement. We've researched, shopped, looked, planned and then shopped some more. And the day finally came. The day when I would say goodbye to the car I loved. The car I had wanted for a long time and finally gotten, … [Read more...]
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever. Psalm 107:1 I've often said I could have been born one hundred years ago and been perfectly content. And while that's still true, I'm also aware of all the modern conveniences that make it possible for me to carry on my life as I know it. I once heard that moms have at their daily disposal, the work equivalent of … [Read more...]
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever. Psalm 107:1 I can't narrow it down to only thing for today, so I'll need to make a list. I'm thankful that I need to make a list of the things I'm thankful for. It's Thursday. I'm thankful for that! We seem to be on the mend from a tummy bug we had this week. Thank You, God! I have only nine more books … [Read more...]
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever. Psalm 107: 1 I'm ready. For a season change, that is. My Grandma always said she loved all the seasons, and about this time of year, I am reminded just why she appreciated the change from summer to fall. I live in Texas, where it's been a scorching 100 degrees plus for well over a month now. Our electric bill … [Read more...]
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever. Psalm 107:1 He said I better never call him that, but after what he's done for our family lately, he's earned the title. He's totally the Marathon Dad, always has been, actually. I'm 13 weeks pregnant today with our 8th baby, and we're just coming out of the woods, so to speak with me being sick. There were many … [Read more...]
