Just wanted you all to know I am still alive. Just supper busy around here. It is a good kind of busy though. I try to get in a much school I can each day. Having a 2 month old, 1 yr old, and 2 yr old in the house is very interesting some days. Sometimes though it is the older ones who add the challenge. I am trying to work on attitudes and how they treat each other lately.
Dh and I are making some decisions that are not easy to make so please be in prayer for us on that. Sometimes it is just so hard to know what to do and it is hard when you do not have many that believe the same way you do. Anyway, just wanted to post a short message to let everyone know I am still here just busy. I got to go get lunch cause we are meeting with a friend at 1:30 today. God bless you all.
The life and times of a family just trying to live God's will in our lives!
Behold, children are a gift of the LORD,

Slacking
I know I didn't put up my menu this year but I am really going day by day for many reasons. I will hopefully be back to a menu plan next week.
Out of Shape!!!
Yeah! Yeah!! I know I just had a baby less than two months ago but I started my Taebo workout today and boy am I out of shape.. EEK!! I didn't get all the way through it and I am sore! I didn't get all the way through it cause I had a 1 yr old and 2 yr old hanging on to my legs crying. NOt sure why doing Taebo started that chain reaction , dh said it was because they thought I had gone crazy. LOL, is a possiblity. Anyway, I go 20 minutes in. IT may be a good thing they stopped me cause I am so sore now . I am gonna do this though.!!! I am ! Even if it well..... we won't go there. I am gonna get healthier though and I am gonna lose this weight. Just in case God has another blessing in store for us down the road, I have had a baby every year for the past 3 years so you can imagine what it has done to my body. My husband says I think you look fine but I know I could look alot better and I need to be happy with myself. I also want to be as healthy as I can be for my kids. The kids are actually doing Taebo with me so it is a bit funner and you do not feel as goofy. Anyway, anyone wanna start the weightloss journey with me???

My wonderful giving kids,What Christmas is all about
We recieved our Samaritan's Purse Gift Catalog in the mail https://www.samaritanspurse.org/index.php/Giving/gift_catalog/ and I just glanced at it and thought this would be nice but as many busy moms do I just tossed it aside. This has also been talked about on other blogs like this one http://everypreciousjoy.blogspot.com/ also. anyway back to what I was saying. My kids found it. They have all decided that is what they want to do for Christmas this year with their money they have in giving. They get a allowance each week and they put some in savings, spending and giving. They each have a good bit saved in spending. So together they have decided along with their daddy and I that they would choose to help on some of these needs. It is fun to see what each choose. We are also helping a local family here . Anway , I just love seeing my kids being so selfless, they are usually always like that. Always wanting to help others. I am so proud of them , I know they each will grow up and be used for God's glory. Suddenly Christmas looks alot different this year, we are turning it into what it should be able . I hope each and every one of you have a awsome Christmas this year. Let us know if you have a need we might could help with also. God bless.

What a awsome God we serve
My dh's business is going so good. While many around us are struggling with no jobs, are hours that are less dh's business seems to be flourishing and we do not praise anyone but God for that. He is blessing us in so many ways. Just a couple of years ago we were leaving paycheck to paycheck and sometimes it was not even enough, it was a scary time . I will admit during that time neither of us were close to the Lord like we should of been. But He helped us through it, I totally believe that. And He is blessing dh for listening to him about starting his own business and for trusting in Him. We are starting the Dave Ramsey baby steps and hope to be debt free in a couple of years. What a wonderful thing that will be. We are saddened that so many people are struggling right now and that times are so tough for our nation right now but I think things will continue to be tough as long as our nation tries to rely on itself or the government. When we turn back to Christ, what the country was founded on then we will truly see things change. Until then it will be the same ole , same ole or worse. I do believe it may not be long until our Lord comes back for his bride, are you ready???? Even if it is not in our lifetime shouldn't we live like it ? Because it could happen today, tommorrow, any time. I want to be ready! When I stand there on judgement day I would like to think I did what the Lord called me to do. I have sinned terribly in my life and will continue to sin but I am striving to be a better Christian, a better everything. A better mommy , a better wife, a better sister, daughter, friend, etc.... After all when we pass will we really give a account of how clean our house was or if our children knew all 50 states? Don't get me wrong I am a neat freak and I want to teach my children as much as possible but I am understanding and learning daily what is most important. I am learning I need to stop and smell the roses . To watch my children playing. Stop and look at the beauty God has created. Stop and hear the children's laughter. Stop and kiss my husband. After all in the end what is important.
********Wow when I sat down to write this post I did not intend to go so deep. NOt sure why I did. Just started typing. Maybe it was meant for someone today. Have a blessed day. And don't forget to stop. Enjoy what God has blessed you with. Even if you are going through a rotten time we always have something to be thankful for.
