Please Pray

Went to Giant's today and was going down the Health Food isle to get Skylar's milk. Was getting ready to put the milk in the cart and this guy walks by and says, hi, how are you? Then says hey to Kotah. Then he looks at all of us and then asks, you you guys drink apple juice? We said yeah, sometimes. he said, this won't take but 2 secs of your time, not trying to be a bother, but this is the best juice there is! It is 100% pure apple juice, it's like putting a straw right in the apple! He said, it's kinda expensive, but it's THE best! He was talking a little bit more and come to find out he goes to a church just down the street from us. He said, I am a Christian. (not too many people will tell you that in a conversation) He asked Curt if he was military and Curt said no, and then proceeded to tell him where he works. He then said that he just brought his wife home from John Hopkins. She just had a brain tumor removed. He then went on to tell us that she just recovered from breast cancer the year before. He said that she goes back Tuesday for a scan. He said he was scared that they would find more cancer. We told him we would pray for him. Curt handed him a business card and said please call me with how she's doing and the results. We will put her on our prayer chain so we all can be praying for you and your family during this difficult time. He was very grateful when we said that.
How weird, I am, how many of us come into a conversation like that, and it all started with apple juice! I have honestly never had anyone recommend a certain apple juice! But we ran into him for a reason, and that reason is so that we all can pray for him! His name is Jack and his wife is Jackie, their last name Clipper (like finger nail clipper he said :))
PLEASE remember this man and his wife in your prayers!
Jack and Jackie Clipper
Sounds like they have been through a very difficult couple of years, I pray that they can have a very good holiday this year!

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...
