Pictures!

These are some photos my friend Amy took in May. She is taking photography classes so I let her practice on me. She is a natural anyway,so I can't wait until she gets more knowledge about it all. 

These are photos I have taken the last month or so.

Friday's Fave Five

1. 1. A couple off days with my hubby. We made a trip to Bass Pro Shop,since the boys really love it there. It was so much fun!
2. 2. Some quiet time at night to read my Bible. I miss that so much! It will soon be gone for a little bit after baby gets here.
3. 3. A good visit at the clinic. Baby Johnathan is obviously a big baby,but no worries for him or me. Praying all goes well next week.
4. 4. Apple pies from Churches' Chicken,OH my. Those things are soooo good!!! I can eat 3 in about 10 minutes. 
5. 5. My boys. They do drive me crazy most days,but I sure do love them. They are my heart and I'm so glad God gave them to me.

Thankful Thursday

I'm also thankful for the fire or trials of life. They are hard and difficult,but without that how would we know how good God is? How mighty He is? Of course I am not glad or happy I go through them. I, often times, whine or get angry,but afterwards when I see what God was trying to do,I do thank Him. Going through trials perfects our faith. Trials sharpen us and they purify us. They are never easy,but they are doable. With God you can make it through anything. Like the Casting Crowns song says, I will praise You in the storm. I've been through some storms in my short 28 years. In some of them I did praise Him through the storm and in others, shamefully, I did not praise Him,instead I was angry and hurt. After it was all over, I realized how foolish I was and just how human I was. We are to learn from the mistakes we make and trials help us do that. What are you thankful for?

Thankful Thursday- God's Word

It's been quite awhile since I have posted for TT. I have a chance this morning so here it goes!

I am thankful for the Word of God. I am thankful that it does endure forever. It will never be outdated! It is full of wisdom and guidelines for us to take in and live by. I don't think you can read it too many times or any book in it too many times. It's like water to a thirsty soul. At one time I had a lot of time on my hands and I read and read it. I would spend hours reading it,highlighting verses or passages,writing down verses to remember. It was a time I grew in His Word. Now, I don't have that much time,but I am getting back to reading it more. I always read something a day,whether it's a verse or not. It can get a little hectic with youngsters around the house. I pray for God to bring back to my remembrance the verses I have learned and hid in my heart during the day when situations arise or just simply to remember His Word. Don't take it fore granted. So many do not have the privilege we have of having 3 Bibles,much less 1 Bible. It's a treasure to be hid in your heart.

But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.  
   I Peter 1:25

Happy Mother's Day!!

I am so tremendously blessed to be a Mother of 2 little boys and 1 in the womb. I never thought I would have been a Mother and never really had a desire to be. Boy, when I met these little fellas that sure changed. I would not trade it for anything. It's definitely not all fun and games,it's hard,enduring work for a life time. But I love it,I truly do. I have Daniel who is 3 years old,Aaron who is 18 months old,and Johnathan who will make his arrival at the end of June. I'm richly blessed. I know Daniel and Aaron love and adore me,as I am sure Johnathan will. Some days I do not know why they do. I can get short with them,yell at times,and not be the example I need to be,but I ask for God to help me everyday to be that example of Christ to them and a Godly Mother. I want my boys to know Christ first in the home,then elsewhere. I also have a wonderful husband who helps compliment me in my parenting. He is the best man God could have gave me for my husband. Mike is truly a blessing to me and the boys.

To all you Mother's out there, I pray you seek God in your daily walk. Without Him it is seemingly impossible to raise boys into men,Godly men whom seek to glorify God and lead their families or their lives to honor God. I pray it's a wonderful day!!

I received my gifts yesterday. My husband was expected to go on a special detail to the north part of Alabama.

                                                      Wearing my necklace my boys gave me. I have no clue how to rotate pictures or I would. Sorry about that!

My necklace up close. I love it!! 

This is what my sweet Daniel insisted on me having. I thought it was so sweet.

When they gave me the gifts Daniel was smiling so big. He said I bought you this because I love you. I just thought it was so sweet!! He kept telling me they got me the stuff because they love me. He gave me a big hug and a kiss. Blessed. Next year little Aaron will understand it all and wow I just may cry. Enjoy your day Mother's!!

Friday's Fave Five

It's been sometime since I have posted for this meme. I miss it! So here we go!

1. Waking up to a household that is not sick. We had the virus the week before and thank the Lord we woke up Tuesday healed!
2. Spending time with my family. Tuesday we spent the evening with my sister and parents. We grilled and the kids had a great time!
3. Quiet time with my Savior. Lately,I've been SO tired. I find that if I get up around 7 I am not so tired during the day and I get to read my Bible in the quiet.
4. Watching the boys learn so much. Aaron will repeat anything you say at 18 months,he's so cute. Daniel is remembering things we talk about throughout the day and bringing them back up at bedtime.
5. The beautiful weather we have had this week. It went from hot and humid to cool and sunny! I love nice weather!

Now, join in with us and link up with Susanne@Living to Tell the Story. Be blessed!
