Conversation About Heaven

One day last week we were in the car going somewhere (who knows where? ;o)) and Kotah asked me, Mom, I'm going to Heaven right? But not Gavin?
Me: What are you talking about? (trying not to laugh at the face and hand motions that went with that question!!!)
Kotah: Gavin doesn't get to go to Heaven, just me, because Jesus loves ME!!!
Me: Well honey, we all get to go to Heaven if we ask Jesus in our hearts. BUT we need to ask Him in our hearts first. Mommy and daddy asked Jesus in their hearts, so we will get to go to Heaven.
Kotah: Oh, how do you do that?
Me: When we pray we just ask Jesus to live with us and then we ask Him to help us do what it is right. Like, obey mommy and daddy, not to fight with your brother or sister...
Kotah: So I can pray that tonite when I go to bed?
Me: You can pray anytime sweetie. It doesn't have to be right before bed, we can pray WHENEVER and WHERE EVER!!! You can pray right now if you want. Or when we get home...
Kotah: Oh, okay.

That was the end of it. But you should have seen the hand motions and face that went with that question! She was so matter of fact and like, Gavin doesn't get to go to Heaven. I was trying so hard not to laugh at the face and hand motions! It was neat talking with her about how to ask Jesus in her heart and somewhat understand HOW we get to Heaven.

I'm here to tell you that I have some of the BEST conversations with my girls while we are driving. I have actually made a point to try and NOT use my cell phone in the car when there are with me because I don't want to miss out on the awesome conversation.

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...
