We are headed for a small weekend trip this weekend. We are all pretty stoked! Kid's are excited about seeing Thomas the train, going to Cabela's and going swimming. I'm pretty jazzed too, my thoughts, although are more consumed in making sure I rely on God to eat right while we are gone. My chia seeds have definitely helped me. I love them =) But it's more praying, and leaning on God to make sure I'm eating right. I got the kiddos some snacks for the trip today, and got myself some bananas. Oh yes, I am indeed proud of myself.
My daily bible verse on my phone for the day is; Proverbs 20:22." Do not say I will repay evil ; wait for the Lord, and he will deliver you." I think this this verse can be applied to a number of areas in my life. Waiting for the Lord, for him to deliver you. This is something that I definitely need help with. Waiting on Jesus for everything. Those of you that know me, know that I am a mover and a shaker. lol I like things done. I need to remember that I am not my own. I need to trust God, and have faith he will work out everything for his glory!
As I get deeper and deeper in my power of the praying wife & mother books, God is showing me such wonderful verses and things that Stormie has written, to pray over my family including- 1 Samuel 1:27-28- For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition that i made to him. Therefor I have lent him to the Lord. As long as he lives, he is lent to the Lord.
Psalm 103:17-18- But from everlasting to everlasting, the Lord's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children- with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.
I'm such a worry wort being a mommy. I'm so nervous of things happening to my children. This sentence in the book popped out at me. If you have fear about anything- take it as a sign to pray, until you feel peace. here is another that spoke to me." We don't want to limit what God can do in our children by clutching them to ourselves and trying to parent them alone. If we're not positive that God is in control of our children's lives, we'll be ruled by fear. And the only way to be surethat God is in control is to surrender our hold and allow Him FULL access to their lives. THe way to that is to live according to His Word and His ways and pray to Him about everything. We can trust God to take care of tour children even better than we can. When we release our children into the Father's hands and acknowledge that he is in control of their lives and ours, both we and our children will have greater peace." AMEN!! I truly God spoke to me through that paragraph.
I now have a phone again, having almost a week of being without one. My number is on my facebook, if you need it. I was a bit nervous when we decided to go with a new provider, because they are still a pretty new company, but I definitely haven't had any complaints thus far! 29 bucks a month for unlimited everything is a pretty awesome deal.
I was able to get prints of the kiddo's shoot from Monday done. We have 8*10 prints of all the kids, and then an 8*10 of all of them together. It looks so cute. I have them put in frames, but John hasn't yet got it on the wall. I'll throw a picture up when it's up. We will have it on the same wall as our handprint family tree frame =)
I'm trying to decide if I should pack right now, or if I should pack when I get home from work.. Also trying to decide what to make for the fam for dinner...... Something easy. Maybe bbq'd drumsticks, and John can make fries. Sounds good.
Okay, I have to put up a few pictures from pinterest, that make me roll everytime I see them. Enjoy =)
