Judah-1 year in 4 days

Yesterday Judah got his first haircut! I made the appointment weeks ago, so I had totally forgotten until about 2 hours before. All of a sudden I was freaking out a little about it. Baby's 1st haircut is usually a big deal to moms. Yesterday I was going back and forth on whether or not to actually get it done! Back when I made the appointment I thought I was set on doing something bold with it, like a mohawk or something! Then, I chickened out and just told the girl to trim his bangs, around his ears, and the back. He's got such long eyelashes that his bangs are sticking in his eyes, so that was the main concern. Anyway, the girl did a fantastic job! He had so much fun, and it was a really good experience for both of us! I've put pictures on facebook, and I'll post some here too later!


For now, here's a picture of Judah in February that I just love! He's wearing his dragon snow suit that my mom got him, and I just LOVE it! I need to find another one like it for this year--that is, if the child would keep anything on his head! :)

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...
