Lambie

Owen has a few things in life he loves very much. His Mom (mamama), Dad (dadadoe), Kitty-cats (dee-due), Pacifiers (not yet named) And his lambie (also not yet named.

I have known about his affection for lambie for awhile now. Whenever we say, “Owen give Lambie hugs and kisses!” He cruises over to Lambie and dives into him. It’s so cute.

A week or so ago his love demonstrated a whole new level. He walked over to Lambie took his pacie out of his mouth and proceeded to try and place it in Lambies fake mouth. He really wanted to share his pacie with Lambie. He must have though… awe lambie is so nice, he should get to have a pacie :) Jeff and I laughed so hard in amazement of how he is starting to put things together. Lambie has a mouth… pacies go in your mouth. Pacie in Lambies mouth.

This photo is old but I don’ have any recent ones of him and Lambie.

In fact if you think of it pray I find my camera!!! I stached it somewhere and now I can’t find it! That is so like me!

Create in me.

Filed Under Uncategorized | 6 Comments

Create in me a pure heart, O God. And renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit to sustain me.
Psalm 51:10-12

Man, the last couple years have been something else. As I look back, I realize the ways I have drifted spiritually. It’s convicting. It’s heartbreaking. I has not been noticeable rebellion. My sins aren’t that outward. I have read the word on occasion. Worshipped God in church and in my car. I have prayed and seen answers to prayer. But I can not say my heart has been where it should be. When you have known Jesus this long… what cuts it for some may not cut it for you. I don’t mean that in a performance sort of way. In fact performance-wise I may be all right. Not perfect… but not noticeably bad at all. Its just I don’t feel my heart has been all His. Portions, yes. Moments, yes. But not completely. I know reaching “completely” is a process I will be undergoing for life… but I can not say I have been striving for that at all.

You see I think I may have slowly gotten jaded. Slowly been hurt here and there. I think I safely put God on the shelf within reaching distance so we could have a casual relationship. But I haven’t invited him into all of my moments. I have tried to do a lot on my own without consciously realizing it. Lost years. By God’s grace I have held up okay. But I know so much more could have been made out of it if I had walked completely with him. I don’t know why I have held resentment toward God because of things I saw in the church. Because of things I saw in friends. Because of ways I have been hurt. Intellectually I know those hurts have nothing to do with God. He loves me. He wants to comfort and heal me.

Now the hard part begins. It is one thing to say sorry, another to repent, change my ways, consciously find time with him, to listen, to surrender. To surrender not only in my mind (which I have not ceased doing) but to surrender in my spirit. In the core of who I am.

Create in me a pure heart God. Renew a steadfast spirit in me. Restore me the joy of your salvation and make me willing.

I’m okay

Filed Under Uncategorized | 6 Comments

Thanks for asking Joy. I’m doing all right. I am not spending a whole lot of time online because It seems to make me feel even more sick than I already do. I’m having trouble keeping up with anything in life right now. Taking care of O and growing this baby inside of me seems to be the edge of all I can handle. I know many woman do so much more though! There are also things going on in other areas of my life that I can’t really get into over a blog. If you think of it just pray for us. I’m so worn out. Having “morning” sickness on the top of it all just makes it that much harder. But enough whining. I will be back in blogsphere when I don’t feel like whining when I’m there :) Miss you guys in the meanwhile.
