It's Been a Day

Wow, I didn't start the day off so grand. I got up when the boys did this am and started working on the cake that I needed to finish before noon! I started working on it last nite, but I came into the living room to open my computer to look at the cake that I was trying to do... Well, the mistake I made was sitting down! ;) So guess what happened? I fell asleep, wow big surprise there! ;)

So I woke up at 2:30 and went to bed.

I got up and started working on the cake again. I was doing good, until everyone was up. ;) I think something is going on with each and every one of the kids, so they are all SUPER duper touchy and then with Curt being gone this week, that never helps! Kotah and Gavin have a sore throat and boy did it show! Thad is still cutting some teeth... These are the same ones that have come through and then went back in.. But I am so hoping that they are coming all the way through this time! I am still not 100% sure what's up with Skylar, other than she's Skylar! :) Love that lil girl! She was actually pretty good, she had a few moments!!! ;)

I finally got the cake done, took it over and then had to run into Giants to get some ginger root so I could make the kiddos some ginger tea for their throats... Got back home, fed them lunch, made the tea and put them to bed! Well, since Thad slept in the car on the way to deliver the cake, guess who didn't take a nap! ;)

I guess what I am getting at is, I am doing my devo's, I am praying, thanking God for blessing me what all that he has, even naughty kids, heehee... But the more I am in with God and keeping my calm even when all around me is CRAZY, and I do me C-R-A-Z-Y, it's when the devil tries to sneak in and discourage me, get to me. And let me tell you something, today was TOUGH! I didn't even get a shower this morning! Yeah, I brushed my teeth, but a shower to me, is like a cup of coffee is to others. I don't drink coffee, it doesn't do anything for me, now a quick 5-10 minutes (10 IF I am lucky) shower does! (I always get a shower and if I don't, it's a bad day! lol) It wakes me up, I pray when I'm in the shower. Most days I do my devos' before getting into the shower and pray then as well, but it's quiet in the shower. I feel more close to Him. If that makes sense? It's not like I am not close to Him when I pray every other time, but the kids aren't right there buggin me, I am alone, for those 5 minutes!! ;)

I know that Satan works even harder to get to us when we are even closer to God, but I'm tellin you, he can take whatever he is going to shove my way, and take it back to where he came from! I am NOT going to bend! Ok, so I thought about it for just a little bit today, just giving up, throwing the towel in and let the kids get away with the fighting, screaming, not wanting to listen... But I thought, no, that's EXACTLY what Satan wants, he wants me to think that I can't do it... But I am going to do exactly what he doesn't want me to do, I am going to shove whatever he gives me and keep praising God and thanking Him for all that I have! No matter if my kids are fighting, screaming, not listening...

Can't wait for tomorrow! :) We are going to finish the valentines that we are making for SPEAR classes! Yeah, we have to make a lot, but they are having fun with it! :D

Oh and need to make some cupcakes and cut up some veggies for the party! :D Gonna try a few new flavors and see how they come out! Should be fun!

Thank you Jesus for a new day!

Isaiah 40:31
But those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

Romans 8:25
But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently

Romans 12:12
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

Whew...

written 4-7-18 Wow! It's been a while since I"ve blogged...  Crazy fun times around here!  :) We had a BIG EVENT for our church Friday night.  It was awesome!!!  All about where we are and what we need to finance our new church building we are building!  We were to take a card and pray about a number and donate for the building fund.  It was a FANTASTIC awesome night to say the least!!! Curt and I have been praying about a number that God wants us to give.  We both feel a number, we can't afford.  haha...  We really can't afford anything because we still have 2 adoption credit card bills we are paying off.  God has blessed us and given us what we need each month.  But we want to give, and adding it up and looking at our budget and writing it all out, it's not there.  Nothing is there!  But that's the way it was with adoption!  We took that step of faith! So that was Friday...  Saturday morning went to kettle bell class and I died...  I honestly haven&#

Ultrasound

First of all, thank you ladies for all those sweet comments you made on my last post! How sweet you are for saying those things! Made my day!!! :O) Second, went for the ultrasound on Monday and everything is fine! WHOO HOO!!!!! No more placenta previa!!!! The baby weighs about 2 1/2 lbs, and everything looks good! We took the kids with us so they could see their baby brother/sister, they LOVED it!! Gavin was FULL of questions though! What's that stuff she put on mommy's belly? Why do the lights needs to be off? I only see one eye. Where's the other eye? What was that, is that his hand or leg? Oh my.... ;o) The tech ended up putting up a 4D on the screen, so that was really cool to see! The cord was kinda in the way, but I still think it was awesome! I didn't have that with any of the other kids!!! :O) Maybe the trick is taking 3 other siblings in to see the 4th!!! ;o) I also only gained a pound, which I am trying to figure out, seeings how I pretty m

North or be Eaten...

Wow what an AWESOME book!!!!!!!!! I don't know where to begin, so I am just going to write the "preview" from the back of the book! ;o) North or be Eaten is by Andrew Peterson and this happens to be the 2nd one in this series. First the found themselves On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness. Now they must make their way North! Or Be Eaten... Janner, Tink, and Leeli Igiby thought they were normal children with normal lives and a normal past. But now they know they're really the Lost Jewels of Anniera, heirs to a legendary kingdom across the sea, and suddenly everyone wants to kill them. In order to survive, the Igibys must flee to the safety of the Ice Prairies, where the lizard-like Fangs of Dang cannot follow. First however, they have to escape the monsters of Glipwood Forest, the thieving Stranders of the East Bend, and the dreaded Fork Factory. But even more dangerous is the jealousy and bitterness that threaten to tear them apart, and Janner and his siblings mus
