Scott is the best example of a Godly father.I pray our boys grow up to be just like him.....

Daddy's little girl I'll never be..

Well as most of you know tomorrow is Monday. I don't like Mondays very much because
my best friend goes back to work and it takes a few days to get the kids back on track..
The little ones cry after him when he leaves and I have to tell him to leave quietly because
when they hear that door shut they start crying..I wonder what that is like to have a daddy whom
you love being around and they love being around you. My dad was a drinker and that was his passion and it still is. I see what my children have and I for the first time realize what I missed as a little girl. I can't imagine my dad telling me how much he loved me and missed me when he was away. I can only recall a few times that he ever said he loved me. He still drinks now and so I don't see him that often and my children are missing out on a grandpa.I feel sorry for him because he is missing out on my children...He doesn't get to hold alittle soft baby or take the boys fishing or have someone hold his hand .He is alone with his alcohal. He is by himself and my house is so full. It's true what ever your passionate about will be revealed in your life..
I hope our life reveals our passion for our family and our love for the Lord and our love for all these children the Lord has blessed us with.

Looking into your eyes........

Looking into the eyes of a child you have never met and yet somewhere you think you have seen him before. Looking into the eyes of a child whom you want to take into your arms and make all things better for him.Looking into his eyes and knowing that you would give him the world if you could. You search his face, you search his body,you wonder could he love you, could he love us?
Dreaming of a day when you can see those eyes face to face and remind him that you are his and he is yours........Watching him grow. Getting tons of kisses.Snuggling.Hugging.Bathes.Lotion.Cutting up his food. Teaching him about God.Ice-cream.Car Seats.Moives.Church.Swimming.Birthdays.
Christmas.Thanksgiving.Mothers Day.Snow.Lazy Saturdays.Playing in the rain.Zoo.So many 1st
I want to experience with him..............................................

One Day.

I wonder what your thinking.
I wonder what you feel.
I wonder if you know.
I wonder if you could love us.
I wonder if you dare.
I wonder if I can make it better for you?
I wonder if you know that one day
I will come for you and bring you home.
I wonder if you are scared?
I wonder if you are lonely?
I wonder if you are sleeping ?
I wonder if you feel okay
I wonder if you know that one day I
will come.

Still trying to breathe.

Well someone asked me how it felt to know that you have a child in Libera, and all I can
say is I stand in amazement at how my Lord works. You see a picture and you look into
a pair of sad eyes and you ask yourself can I see my self in his eyes? Can we cover the hurt.
Can we cover his pain. Can we make everything alright? Can I hold in and tell him how safe and
loved he is and yet I've never met him. I know that when we bring our child home we can never cover everything but only the Lord can cover and make things right for him.

Praying for a phone call .

Please pray with us as we wait for a phone call from Acres of hope this week...
I can't give alot of details right now but...............Just pray...

Our little slice of heaven..

I love living in the country..We live on 40 acres and we built our home in the middle of it. No neighbors just dogs and cats and a horse and 2 ducks and a few chickens... I love raising our children here. The peacefulness of a summer night with the frogs chirping and the crickets. We don't have TV so I don't hear the news often so you kinda forget there is so much violence in the world when you do hear it..We home-school so we don't hear much about how bad the schools are..We're just busy living. I love being able to send my boys out to play and to explore this land like their grandfather before them. I love to see their little tents out in the yard and I love to see Taylor setting up a picnic for them..The world is so fast. No-one stops and enjoys the simple things any more it's always hurry up and get this done so we can move on to the next...Our family I guess is old fashioned I'm not sure how we came to this..We always felt a little out of sync with the world but more so when we started having children..We have such a desire to pass on our Love for the Lord to them. We want them to grow up and be sold out for God and their families not sold out to this world. It's so hard raising up these souls..You never know if your doing enough or not doing enough...You just pray that the Lord will fill in the blanks...I'm thankful to live here I hope one day that 5 or 6 little houses are around ours..( or at least not to far away):)

I thought this was thought provoking:)

Just some thoughts from this morning~
* I was reading some through Prov. 31 this early am and again was struck by the part that says, "...but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised..." To fear the Lord is to not fear man. To fear the Lord -- it's to know and LIVE OUT that He alone is God.

* This verse really meant a lot to me -- I was thinking about how when I know I've been slandered and gossiped about how there is a temptation to worry about what others might be thinking about me, to feel a need to defend myself, to expose those who are in the wrong -- to "fear" others over fearing God. But when I fear God, I don't need to fear man. I can trust that He will take care of all things.

* In the world there are woman being praised for all sorts of things. Mainly for charm and beauty. The first part of this verse (31:29) says these two things are deceitful...

* a woman who fears the Lord is not deceitful. She can be sincere because she doesn't fear what man thinks. She can be real and open, even with her faults... not afraid to appear "human" ("who can say, "I have made my heart pure; I am clean from my sin?" Prov. 20:9) to others because she rests and trusts in the Lord and knows that the work He has begun in her will be perfected until the day of Christ Jesus. Who she is, is all about Him, not about her.

"... the fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trust in the Lord is safe!" Prov. 29:25
