Jeremiah 29:11 OH and 12,13 and so on...

Jeremiah 29:11... 12 - Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 - You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

These are the scriptures Jaime and I have chosen to live by for this season in our lives. Unfortunately we have felt the brunt of the "recession". If houses don't get built then Jaime doesn't work, plain and simple. The Lord has provided in one way or another and for that I praise Him! We are as a family having to make life changing decisions but refuse to without the Lord's approval. We want Him to guide us in His perfect will and plan for our lives. We desire for our children to learn to desire God and trust God with and unshakable faith as we go through these tough times.

As Jaime and I read together last night we read past the famous 29:11 and found that He so desires to be in communion with us and wants us to seek Him so we can see what His amazing plans are! We have decided this is an adventure we are on and no matter what "storms" or scary, dark times we have to see, He is always present and near us. We will together gladly take hold of what He has in store, good or bad and become better servants through it. Please just pray for wisdom and guidance during this time. That we may always remember as a family that He is our provider and always will be!

The baby...


Well here I am, a stay at home mommy! I love staying home with my baby girl, she is the baby of our three children and her and I are having a wonderful time together! She is the silly, daring, outspoken one of the three so you can imagine the things she has to "advise" me on throughout the day. I am so grateful that I was chosen to be the mother of these three precious children. She recently started MDO "all by herself" and by this I mean mommy is no longer her teacher and I am not at that particular program anymore as I have been for the past 5 years. She loves it and has taken ownership of "her school" and is so proud to be able to be dropped off and picked up just like the rest of her friends! On the other side of it all I LOVE LOVE LOVE picking her up and watching her eyes light up when she sees me and running into my arms! "I missed you mommy, but I had fun with Ms. Sims and my friends!" Sad to know that soon she will be in Kindergarten but for now I think I will just take it all in and enjoy every minute of her attention!
