Bible Case

The kids and I went to Wal-Mart 2 days ago to get some food for the week-end, not only am I making the breakfast bar items, I am making dinner for Ryan and Jana, plus having friends from MI coming!!! :O) Anyways...
There is usually this one cashier that I always go to if she is working. She is SUPER friendly to me and the kids. Dakotah started chating away, here is what it was. ;o)
Kotah: I went to Grandma Cecil's house for Christmas and got a Bible cover...
Cashier: Wow, that's cool! I wish I had a Bible cover for my Bible! It needs one!
(Me thinking, hmm, this could be interesting...)
Kotah: Yeah, you should get one. But see, I don't have a Bible for my Bible yet. My mom put it away so it won't get ruined before I get my Bible. I get one when I turn 6, Aug 21st. My mom says I will get one then.
Me: Well, I said we will TRY to get you on for your Birthday, maybe sooner, I don't know!
Cashier: Does your church not hand out Bibles?
Me: No.
Cashier: (She went on to explain when and why they hand out Bibles)
Me: Oh, that's cool.
Kotah: I really like Pastor Kevin.
Me: We go to Jordan Creek Family, it just meets right up here at the movie theater. It is really cool!
Cashier: Do you accept special needs children?
Me: Oh yes! We actually have a family that has a 7 yr old with Downs. We take anybody that wants to come!
Cashier: That's really good to know! My sister has a child who is autistic and the church they used to go to, the pastor decided that they can no longer come because of their daughter!
Me: That's is horrible!
Cashier: What ever happened to the verse Let the little children come to Me? My parents who had been going to that church for over 30 years stopped going because of that!
Me: (Handing her the little bulletin insert) Here is a little paper, there is a website if you want to check it out, or just come Sunday! We loved to see you.
Cashier: Thanks. I just think your kids are the cutest, most well behaved kids! I love talking with them when you come through my line!
(Me thinking, wow, does she really remember me??? How many different people does she check out each day??? My kids, being good, LOL!!!!!!!)

Then I needed to go because I was way past paying for my stuff, and other people waiting in line. When I got home I was thinking about what had happened. Did God have this all set up, I mean, EVERY TIME I went to Wal-Mart, I would go to this lady just because of her being so nice and friendly! Did He know from the start that I needed to keep going to this lady's line? What also got me is how the whole thing started. Out of the mouth of babes!!! I was telling my mom about it, and she thought that is was so cool! I am not one to go up and be like hey, do you go to church anywhere? I mean, if I wasn't a Christian and somebody did that to me, I would be like uh, get away. So I just thought that it was so cool how it started and how it ended! We will see if she or her fam comes and if they don't, well, I can keep going through her line and keep praying for them!

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Judah's Wife Book Review

I received this book from Bethany House for free if I agreed to read and then blog about it. Judah's Wife is by Angela Hunt. I've read a few of her books and absolutely enjoyed and loved them!  I was very excited to be picked to read this book! I've honestly not read anything from the books of Maccabees.  This story is the "silent years' between Malachi and Matthew. I really would like find Maccabees now to read it since I've read this book. This book was amazing! Love being able to read stories that really capture what it was like.  Angela Hunt has done this in this book. I really enjoyed how she told it from Judah's side and Leahs side.  It would go back and forth, but it wasn't confusing at all. Talks about Leahs up-bringing and how she struggled. Her father wasn't a real father figure and in time she realizes how much her mother protected her from her father and his blows. She struggles to truly love Judah at first who was somewhat fo...

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...
