Fun at G&G's

The kids and I traveled to IN this week to spend some time with my family!

We'll let me try that again... the Kids and and I were sent to IN. by Daddy so that he could work on a project! I'm not sure what it is, I'm just a bit nervous and excited to see what He makes for our surprise!

The weather is bitter so we've been spending our time inside with cousins!!!!! My sisters and their kiddo's have all been over for a good part of the day. the kids have just had a blast together.

So with playing hard comes no nap times and so with that they sleep reallllllly good at night!

bed time was really easy tonight. :) I like that kinda of bed time!

It amazes me each time were here how much everyone grows. all the boys seem to have grew a foot since Christmas, it's wild! Just a good reminder of how fast time goes by:(

Here's just a pix that I got off Mom and Dad's computer!

3 cousins playing around!

29 years ago

About 29 years ago three sisters stood like this with their prego tummies all in a row, all due about 4 months apart. and now those three babies stand in a row with all their prego tummies all in a row. all due just 3 months apart! So come this summer there will be 3 new second cousins to enjoy. 1 Girl and 2 boys! so the Dr.s say!

It was so good to be able to see my cousins in IN. and so fun to think back to when our Mom's were pregnant with the three of us.
What a fun season of life the Lord has us in.

I know your thinking "where is the Christmas pix?" they are to come in the next few post so stand by!

Georgia!!!

So no we haven't fallen off the face of the earth, but we are on Vacation!!!!
We are with Jon's side of the fam!
We arrived safely after 11 1/2 hours in the car with a few missed turns, and fears of following the GPS. but we arrived safely at 1:30 on Fri. am Jon and I were so ready to go to bed but the kids had other thoughts! so after many tears from Lanna and Liam joining us in our bed we were all ready to go to sleep! But sleep just wouldn't come, at least for Mama. Daddy drove the whole way and could sleep through a tornado so he missed out on the fun!
Finally about 2:30 Mama said that was it. I closed my eyes and let the kids fall asleep on their own! I'm not sure what time it was for them, but oh how sweet that short nights sleep was!
We have had a blast being with family.
Getting to see the cousins play together just blesses my heart. Thanks Lord for cousins!
We are so enjoying our time here, and I'll try to update later with pix.
Have a blessed week!

As Promised!!!

What a first week back home! We are just now seemingly getting back into the swing of things sadly to say. but thankfully all the laundry is done and put away!!! That is a never ending job at our house!
We did a trip to Six Flags with out teens on Tue. we had a blast and the weather was great!!!

I have been waiting for about 3 weeks now to Share this with everyone, but I Need to share it in person with my Home church family first!!!
I want to share what the Lord did in my life while we were at Life Action.
Each morning we had a session with Tom Elliff. a great man of God. One morning he was speaking about Assurance of your Salvation. and so I was taking notes like I always did. He was going down through a list...
1. Have you make an outward decision?
2. Are you living an upward life for the Lord?
3. Do you have Peace with the Lord on where you will spend eternity?

I was able to answer 1 and 2 but when He got to # 3 my heart was pounding out of my chest and I thought that I was going to get sick.
So I got on my knees before the Lord and asked Him where I stood with Him. and after a long time my answer was "No your not a child of mine." I was overwhelmed, but I knew for the past few years that I was doubting my Salvation, but thought to my self " I'm a pastors wife, what would people think ? I Made a decision when I was 5." But when my fear of man and Pride got out of the way the Lord revealed to me that I was...
"Just a Religious Woman, and not a Child of His."
I knew all the right things to say and all the right things to do but I was a Sinner, and I truly wasn't a Forgiven Child of God. So on Tue. Aug. 4Th I gave my Life to the Lord!!
I was nervous about coming home here to MD. but the Lord is so faithful Pastor Wally was starting a line of sermons about Salvation and so on Sunday I shared with our church family here! I was so nervous as I shared, but the Lord was glorified and one of our teens has already come to know the Lord through this, My prayer is that many people will really think through where they stand with the Lord and that He will make clear Yes or No. I'm so thankful for His awesome Grace and Forgiveness. that I now honestly know the meaning of!

Well as promised here are the Pix from our Northern states Vacation!

All packed and waiting for Daddy to got home from Work!
