Behold, children are a gift of the LORD,

AT peace
I am so at peace tonight, not sure why because even though we are SUPPOSE to close on the house tommorrow we still have not heard what our downpayment is gonna be or anything. My hubby told them if he run their business the way all of this house stuff had gone he would have no customers. But God has filled me with such a peace and shown me in so many ways that he is taking care of us. It feels like he is tapping me on the shoulder saying I have this, do not worry!! HOw peaceful is that feeling. I am at peace at the house, the moving, and everything else we have going on in the next many weeks. I am at peace about baby number 8 coming where i have been very apprehensive. God is good, He is good all the time. I am so proud of my husband. He has gotten everyone in the house in the routine of praying every night, we even pray together as husband and wife right before we go to sleep. I feel so much closer to him since we have started this!!!!!!!!!!! We do our bible study with the kids each night and pray then but this feels different. I never would of dreamed I of all people would had 7 kids going on 8 but this I am leaving in God's hands just like everything else. He has shown me so many things about children and how they are to be cherished and how sometimes I really do take mine for granted. I am also doing my own little study , I am reading a book called Being a Vessel for God. It is great!!! Well I better go we still have alot to do tonight and we are running out of night. :) God bless!

Soooooooooooooooo busy around here!
So much has happened lately for us. We are the process STILL of buying a house. we were SUPPOSE to close in the morning on it but it seems some people didn't do their job and so we are going to have to wait now. They said we could get to close Monday at 4 so we shall see. This has been soooooooooo nerve wracking!!! I hope we never have to buy a house again but I keep telling myself that it is all worth it, we will have plenty of room and we are getting the house at a super price. Just please pray that closing gets done soon, we have boxes everywere because we had intended to start moving stuff tommorrow after closing.
On top of that we have been trying to get the lady's insurance that hit dh to pay his medical bills and supposedly they are but geez we have had to get phone numbers for them and then they have called several times, this has been a mess also but dh has already gotten his service van fixed from the wreck.
And then hubby is super busy!!!!!!!!!!1 Thanks God, trust me I am in no way complaining but I know he is super stressed with everything going on and trying to work also.
Baby seems to be doing well, feeling her more and more lately. I am almost 21 weeks or maybe I am already. I just really cannot keep up. Been trying to do as much homeschooling as I can lately.
THEN in the neighborhood we live in now there has been alot of issues going on as well. Why in the world can people not act like adults. Well, I know the true answer. Without Christ in your life you do not do the right, you do act childish, you do not worry about others feelings ,etc... But this is getting ridiculous. So if you need something to pray about please please do so about this neighborhood. It is trully sad since kids are involved in the middle.
Dh and the older two boys are at bible study tonight with the men in our church we just started going to. I am super excited for them because I know living like we do is so very hard for my wonderful husband. I know he feels like a outcast with other men and to find likeminded Christian men is a blessing and finding children that have been raised like we are trying to raise our kids is also a HUGE blessing.
Well I better go, wanna spend some more time with the kiddos that are here. It was special to do bible study tonight with my older daugther and all the little ones. :)

Just a update
As most of you know dh and one of our children were in a wreck last week but they are both okay. But when it happened I was on the phone with dh and then in a split second he was gone. Thankfully he was just gone off the phone but it left me thinking how fast things happen and that we do not need to waste time on worrying about the same stuff and spend it loving our family and living for the Lord. At least I know my husband is saved and where he would go. As well as our son. Just remember we are never promised tommorrow, we are never even promised one more second actually.
I was going to do a post on the church and how it is failing these days but this is not the time for me to do so. I will pray about it and hopefully the Lord will let me know when or if I should post it.
We found out yesterday number 8 is going to be a GIRL. :) So our pattern of boy boy girl girl continues. We will be tied this time. I am just amazed at how God provides what we need right at the moment we need it . He has so me so much lately, it is just amazing and sometimes I am in awe. God is good and it saddens me to no end that some people never get to see first hand God working in their lives because they never allow him to.Hopefully if everything works out we will be moving into our new home the middle of this month. Please pray God allows everything to run smoothly and nothing falls through. What a blessing this house would be to us.
Well I have a little one sleeping in my arms and it is hard to type so this is it for now but hope to type more later. God bless you all.

Amazing how God works
I am amazed at how God works in our lives, how He shows us what he wants for us if we just listen. I think that is where many of us , including me, make our mistakes is not listening. Just be still and listen to Him. What He wants for you may not be what you think. And things may change from one season to another. While I trully believe we should leave everything to Him and He will take care of us , I also believe he quietly whispers to us the next step we should take in our life. Many people have asked my husband and I when they find out how many kids we have if we have a brain, or they tell us we should use the brain God gave us. But just think of the bible. I bet everyone sure told Noah he should use his brain and not be building that boat, can you imagine how silly he looked. But he knew what purpose God had for his life. And since he LISTENED he was rewarded with his life and that of his family's. Could you imagine being his kids while he was building the boat, then imagine being his kids after the flood. What about Jesus what if he did not listen to God? What I am saying is that sometimes God's will for someone's family may not be what he wants for yours but you should NOT look down on them. Also recently in my quiet time I have discovered God is ready to give me a rest after this baby, not sure how long it will be or if this baby will be our last. I feel such a peace. I have definately heard loud and clear that my husband and I will be taking a break. Do I know what God has in store for us? No way! Do I know if He will give me a year break, 10 year break, or if baby 8 will be our last? No way! Only God knows that. But I take peace in realizing if we just listen God will tell us what we need to know. He will reassure us time and time again in several ways.
What a amazing God we serve!! WE are also going through a bit of a trial with trying to decide what to do about church. I will not get into this right now but I know God will lead us in the direction we need to go and where we need to be!! I know he will lead my husband in that direction. Thanks for all who read my blog and thanks to all who encourage my family. After all that is what Christian's are suppose to do! What christian's are suppose to do may just be my next topic. :) Because we have come far from what we ought to be doing.
