Catching Up

This week has just flown by! I've been so busy with so many different things that I've completely neglected blogging for most of this week. We had our Moms Coffee Night at Olivia's school for all the moms of kindergarten. There were around 70 women there, and it was really a very fun night! Such a great way to get to know each other, especially for those of us who are sending our first child to school. The assistant principal spoke and just blessed me so much by the words she said. Another reminder to enjoy life, live in the moment, soak in each thing our child says and does, and pray constantly that God would help us to raise faith-filled children! The only bad part of the night was not getting to sample all of the delicious food because of my diet! 2 weeks in and haven't cheated, so I was proud of myself!


Next event up to plan is Judah's birthday. The most planning it's going to take is just the cooking! I'm doing all mini and slider-size foods so I'm excited..again, won't get to eat much of it, but oh well!  The day after his party is our 3rd annual fall festival at church so I still have lots left to do for that. It's always a fun night, and this year our family is attempting to do a family costume theme from the Disney movie Tangled. Olivia, of course is Rapunzel, Scott will be Flynn Rider, I'm going to be Mother Gothel, and Judah is Rapunzel's pet chameleon, Pascal! Still working on coming up with costumes, but I'll post pictures if it all works out!


Tonight is date night for Scott and I. I'm excited since the last 2 weeks have been too busy for us to go out. This weekend is also Canadian Thanksgiving, so Sunday night we head out to Scott's Aunt and Uncle's house for a big family dinner. Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

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 ...

Mommy Porn is No Better than Daddy Porn

I read a fantastic article on the phenomenon of "50 Shades of Gray" and "Magic Mike". I share the same disbelief that women everywhere that claim to follow Christ would indulge in these types of entertainment. There seems to be this sort of movement of women saying, "if men are allowed, so are we!", instead of standing against the very things that breaks the heart of God. Sure, men all over the world have become ensnared in the tangled web of pornography. Do I think that's any more wrong than women being involved in the same thing? No, of course not. I do know though, that because of the incredibly high demand for pornography, young women and even girls are being enslaved to supply that very demand. If we choose to begin a new revolution of sex-for-sale with women in mind, are we going to be OK when the same number of boys end up trapped across the earth as there are girls because of our sinful means of entertainment? That's the reality of this sit...
