Please pray

Will you please pray for a family that is dear to our hearts. They just found out that their little boy has a rare form of cancer.  It is very aggressive.  They will be leaving in the mornng to see what the treatment plan and the stage of the cancer. 

We are praying and believing for God's healing.  Please be praying and believing with us.  This is the scripture that she put at the end of her blog.

Isaiah 53:5 NKJV


But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.

We went out tonight and joined in prayer with their community.  I know that our prayers are answered and God is going to get the glory out of this.  Please believe in faith with us.

So the other night I went in to check on the boys after they had fallen asleep and I didn't find them in their bed.  


This is where I found them.





It ended up being a disaster in the middle of the night because they both freaked.  They couldn't get out, but they weren't fully cognate.  We went in there and got them out from underneath their bed and put them in out bed.  


If the boys had their way they would sleep with us every night.  I can't let the do that, because neither Steve nor I sleep well.  It makes from very restless sleep.  They love to sleep right up against you.  They both end up sleeping against me, well,  I am not sure why but they just do.  Steve doesn't sleep well, because he doesn't have his space.  (yes!  He has to have his space)  At some point, most of the time, they end up in bed with us.  


I just thought it was funny that they were sleeping underneath their bed.   Sometimes I really do wonder why I bought them bunk beds, they end up sleeping in the same bed most of the time.  You just never know with kids.  


I wouldn't trade them with for the world! 

My Favorite Things Friday

I have decided that on Friday's I am going to try to start listing some of my favorite things or favorite moments that have happened this week. Here are a few of my favorite thing:

Getting kiss and hugs from my boys.

Having my nails and toes painted.

Playing "football" with the boys.

Listening to praise and worship music.

Having worship practice at church....Yes it crazy, but we always have fun.

Having a clean house.  There is just something about it!

Close friends with whom you can to about any thing.

Burning candles.  I love the flicker of a burning candle, plus it makes the house smell good.

Here are a few of my favorite things, what are yours?  Share on your blog and come back a leave a comment and I will visit your blog.

Love Never fails

That is a hard statement to digest.  It seems like in life we are let down by people around us all the time.  It could be a parents, siblings, kids, grandparents, friends, and spouses.  It seems like they always let us down in some form.  

But God's love never fails.  He is always faithful.  He is always right on time.  He doesn't come in our timing, but his own.  He cares about our every need and he is never too busy.  He wants to hear about the smallest thing that is bothering us.  He loved us so much that "He gave his one and only Son"(John 3:16)

Nothing can separate us from HIS love, even if we run away He still loves.  

If we reject HIM, He still Loves us.

If we deny HIM, He still Loves us. 

If we curse HIM, He still Loves us.

So in sort the Love of God is the most amazing, hardest to comprehend thing on the planet!

Here are two of my favorite songs

The first one is by Brandon Heath "Love Never Fails"

This second one is by Jesus Culture "Your Love Never Fails."  

They are one of my Favorite bands!

Read 1st Corinthians 13. It challenges me every time I read it.

Unredeemed

I found this video off of Angie Smith's blog.  If you haven't ever read her blog before hope on over and read her story.  She is an amazing writer and has a book coming out in a couple of months.  Her husband is one of the singers in the group Selah.


This song minister to me.  I pray that it will you also.

This year we have been watching the Olympics.  It has always been one of my favorites times, wether it is the summer or winter Olympics.  I love rooting for Team USA, and the underdogs, if TEAM USA doesn't make it to the finials.

I love the perseverance that these people have and the sacrifices that their parents and family have made so that they can be there.  Just the story of each individual person that is there.  They all have the same dream to make it and win the gold.

I wonder what goes on in the mom's mind when they there children competing.  

I wonder if it is close to this commercial.  

Early mommy memory

Do you ever have memories that you just look so fondly back at and just laugh at yourself or the circumstances surrounding you?  Well, I do.  There is one that I would like to share with you today.


Levi was about six weeks old.  He either slept in the bed with us or in his bassinet beside the bed.  He had started sleeping through the night at about six weeks old. 


I woke up this particular night in a panic.  Levi was over due for a feeding and had not woke me up yet.  I was in frenzy!  I was yanking back covers,  Looked in the bassinet beside the bed.  I woke Steve up "I can't find the baby.  He isn't in his bassinet. He isn't in the bed.  I can't find the baby!"  This all happened in a moment.  We both went from dead asleep to a panic.  We thought we had lost our new born baby.  


So Steve looks under the bed and all through the room.  Then we walk out the room and into the nursery, flipping the light on.  Then turn and looks and me "He is in the baby bed! Go back to bed!" Neither one of us had remember that we put him in his room. 


Steve and I laugh about this memory all the time.  It is so special and something we can share with the kids when they get older.
