It's my birthday and i am 27

Yes today was my birthday and I turned 27! I don't feel that I am 27. I never have been a goal driven person. I wish I was. I stay at home with my babies and feel so blessed to be able to do so. There are day that I Don't feel purposeful. I feel like I don't have a purpose. I always thought that at this point in my life I would have things figured out. I thought that i would have a job or at least an education. I always wanted to stay at home with my children. I didn't realize that It was so exhausting or so rewarding at the same time. I have thought about trying to do some things on the side like photography but I don't know where to start. I have and SLR camera that my husband bought for me last year. I have thought about going back to school and getting my degree in Education. I am just not sure and I haven't heard the Audible voice of God either. LOL.

I am very happy with my life. I am blessed!! I have two beautiful children. A husband who loves me. We are the pastors of a great church who I feel really and truly loves us. I love them and adore them too. I have great friends!! I don't know what I would do with out them. I just feel like I need more of a purpose. Please be praying that God with guide me and lead me.

Birthday lunch

So Yesterday at church I got a pleasant surprise. They threw me a surprise birthday lunch. My birthday is not until the 3rd, but the decided to do it yesterday. It was such a surprise. I haven't really focused on my birthday. I hadn't really even told anybody about it. I went into church yesterday not even realizing that Wednesday was my birthday. I thought I still had a week.

One of the Ladies announced that everyone was needed in the back. Well I stayed around and was talking with a few of the visitors that we had. I turned and asked My loving Husband "What is going on in the fellowship hall?" He smirked "I don't know" "You liar " I replied and smacked him with the bible a couple of times. Right about this time my three year old came busting through the door and said desperately "Come on MOMMA come on!" Where are we going?" I said. "In there!" "What is in there?" I asked "Your birthday" Levi said.

So it sparked my interest as to what was going on. I waked in to the hall and there was most of the church people around and these little kids all in a row singing Happy Birthday to me. My eyes swell up with tears. It was the awesome thing. I felt so loved in that moment. It was the most thoughtful thing anyone has even done to me in.

My mom was one to never have birthday parties. For one my mom just wasn't that type of mom. Parties just weren't her thing. Two is more trouble that it was worth to her. Steve and I have never really done much for our birthdays. So yesterday meant a lot to me. I am interested to see what the rest of the week holds. Hopefully more Birthday Surprises.

having fun with some old pictures

Here is a picture that I took over a year ago for Micah's 1st birthday. I found a neat little web site to play with pictures it is www.photoshop.com. I had fun. It is basic enough for me. I am just starting to be able to play with pictures. If anyone know of any other websites just let me know.

worry

Luke 12:25-26 Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? Of course not!And if worry can’t do little things like that, what’s the use of worrying over bigger things?


I have to be one of the biggest worriers I know. I worry over weather people like me or not. Weather I am doing Gods will or am I really hearing his voice. I worry weather we have handle certain situations right or not. How are we going to do this or that. I just worry. It is someting I battle all the time. I like things in my control, but it isn't. God cotrols the universe. The verses before say that the ravens don't worry out food they neither plant nor harvest their food, but how much more are we favored over then . God Loves us so much. He created us and yearns for fellowship with us. He want us to give Him everything all of our need, wants, hurts pains, and joys. He is the one in control. Everything is made perfect through Jesus. When we learn to let go and let God that is when things start working the way they should.

The whole point is don't worry. Just put it in Gods Hands. He is faithful. He will take care of it. It isn't always our timing, but His. He knows all and sees all. Just give it to him. Today, this very moment, I am giving everything to God All of my Dissappointment, Hurts, Anger, my marriage, my kids, and my finances. It is not for me to worry about.

God is in Control

God is so amazing. We are in revival this week at our Church. For those of you who don't know what revival is an awakening, in a church or community, of interest in and care for matters relating to personal religion or an evangelistic service or a series of services for the purpose of effecting a religious awakening: to hold a revival. According to Dictionary. com. We have an evangelist come in and preach and we have been having some awesome services. It is really what the church needs. He has spoken things that truely came from God. It just amazes me that God is answering all of our prayers. We are so not worthy but that is what is amazing, He still does because He loves us so much!!

I have aways battle issues of inadequacy and have always questioned my calling. I have always known that Steve is called. I always have seen in, but I on the other hand I have never seen it in me. Lately God has really been assuring me that He has anointing on me too. It is going to interesting to see what God is going to do in my life. I know that God is going to take care of everything. No matter what God has called us to this place for this time!!!

Levi's birthday

Okay. I am going to try to start blogging here on a regularly. So much is happening right now. I know that God is in control. We just celebrated Levi's 3rd birthday. We had so much fun. He is really into trains. So I made a train that was a train cake. We borrowed a train from the community center. We made train cars out of boxes and the kids went around pretending to be trains. They had so much fun!! Then we made train tracks with toy trains and paint. You can do the same thing with toy cars, tractors whatever that makes cool designs. It was a lot of fun. It was so funny because Micah helped Levi open his presents. There is a slide down below. I really enjoyed planning this party. I am going to go ahead and start thinking about Micah's birthday party. It will be here before I know it.

There are also some pictures that I took of the boys a couple of weeks ago at Garven Gardens. I love taking picture of the boys. Enjoy looking!!!

My little Artist

Tuesday we had some people come by the church and hang some lights so I went of there to let the boys play with their little boy. We were talking and just having a good time. The boys were all quiet and I didn't think anything about it.

Well, I should have.  Micah had gotten into the blue paint.  He had it all over the walls  and on the carpertsat church.  All over his clothes.  It was a mess!!!  OH I was livid.  He has always been so curious and adventerous. 

We had to paint and get it all cleaned up.  We also had to shampoo the carpets at the church.  Let just say the kid a mess!!!!
