Hiccups

So today I just feel like writing an "easy" post and thought I'd brag about my kids a little!
I just got done putting Judah (9months) down for his morning nap. Poor guy, he was exhausted. Took him up to his nursery, and rocked him for a couple minutes, but he got the hiccups! He was so tired, that didn't stop him from falling asleep. I smiled, and remembered back to when I was pregnant with him. He got the hiccups ALL the time!! It was the funniest feeling, especially in the night while I would try to sleep. It was one of those flashback memories most moms get about their kids. Seriously, is he really about to turn 1 at the end of October? Where has the time gone?! This past year has been one of the best yet! I've loved being a mom again, and God has continually blessed my sweet family!


Olivia (5) is busy getting ready for school to start next month. By this, I mean packing and unpacking her new backpack. We're not talking about one of those mid-size, cute, Disney bags. This year she had to get the full-size teenage-looking bag. If you don't know my child, she is picky, and knows what she likes! What a little diva! So the search for a backpack started out harder than I'd thought. She wanted purple, but she found something she didn't like on all of the ones we'd looked at recently. Finally, on a random trip to Costco, she saw one she liked. Purple? Not really. But the selling point(s)? Cell phone pocket, key chain, change purse, credit card holders, ipod/headphone pockets. Ha! She's 5 going on 15!! She's been marching around the house with it on her back (looking like a ninja turtle b/c of the size of the thing) saying "OK, bye Mom, I'm going to school!" ha! I'm just glad she's excited about school. We're excited to watch how much she grows and learns this year! Oh, and when I hold Judah, I see all Olivia! He reminds me so much of her when she was a baby, and I can't believe she's grown up so fast! (Plus, I remember when she got hiccups while I was pregnant with her too!) Anytime either of my kids get the hiccups now, I always smile and remember when God was growing them in my belly!!

Integrity

I'm going to do my best to write this post in love and not condemnation or criticism. I pray that my heart on this issue will be evident and not misunderstood for something else. I heard a great pastor say about a week ago while he was presenting the congregation with an uncomfortable message "receive this in love". I thought, "what a great way to say what you really think and get away with it b/c you've given the 'love' disclaimer!" But seriously, this has been on my heart for about a year now. I don't know if it's been God that's brought it further and further to the front of my mind in the last month or what, but I felt the need to share. So, receive this in love! Integrity. When most people hear this word they automatically think of the personal meaning of the word. If someone has integrity they have moral or ethical principles.  A more corporate definition of the word as it pertains to the Church or a church ministry is "the s...

Honoring God by Honoring Your Husband

While you’re dating someone, it’s easy to love the man you’re in a relationship with. You probably don’t notice all his flaws or the things that get under your skin and drive you insane.  You are probably blissfully unaware of how things, for many couples, will change once you exchange the rings. Once the “honeymoon” stage is over, reality sets in and then it starts.  It becomes harder to excuse certain behaviours or habits, harder to forgive, and sometimes even harder to love (in the form of a verb). Many wives begin to find themselves asking why they should honor their husband. Why should I forgive him over and over? Why should I boast about him in front of my friends? Why should I overlook his flaws and focus on the good? The answer becomes, “because that is what God does”.  The questions in our mind about whether or not to honor, respect, and submit to our husband becomes a question of whether or not we’re going to honor, respect, and submit to Jesus Christ. We ...

How Do You Pray?

I was reading Grace Driscoll's first post on "finding your identity in Christ" this morning, and was inspired by some of the points she made.  Immediately, I knew that's where God wanted me in our quiet time together this morning.  The statement she made that struck me as gold was "Let's not deceive ourselves that we can go about our day without God."  She was stressing the importance of daily prayer, but not only that, prayer throughout the day as well.  One person came to my mind that has modelled that to me. My Aunt Joelle!  She has been known to pray in the car while driving, in the grocery store, in the middle of a breaking news story, or whenever and wherever else! I love her heart for prayer, and it has really given me the desire to have a healthy prayer life.   Most people that spend quiet time with God probably do it first thing in the morning or at night just before bed. That's great and so essential, but we need to remember what Paul sa...
