Sad sad times

This week so far has been full of such sad news. It makes me wonder what this world is coming to and makes me pray for Jesus's return so much sooner. Makes me hold my family closer, makes me love my husband harder. Someone who i used to be best friends with that I still really respect is going through a divorce that she does not want and they have two small boys. It just saddens me to the core!! The husband wants it and she doesn't. I found this out this week. Also found out another couple is getting a divorce in our church. Both these couples have been married for many years. Why is this happening so much now??? IN my opinion it boils down alot to selfishness. WE want the easy way out or what we THINK is the easy way out. Alot of times couples one or the other or both just do not try and work things out. I just need to pray I know. And please pray for both these family. IT is so heartbreaking and shocking. And then on top of all that I found the guy that reroofed our house a few months back hung himself, he also has two small children and their mom has so issues so these children are left alone. I mean how incrediable sad. Why in this society are we so selfish??? What do we blame it on??? i know many are not right with God, how could you be to cause so much hurt and pain to your family. And why do so many these days feel they have no option. IT is just so sad to me. That is why I tell my kids you never know when you reach out what it means to that person. You never know what it may mean to that person at that very moment. I think that shows we need to reach out more, witness more, and love more!!!! in the midst of such happy times for my family with a new baby coming soon the way the world is moving towards such chaos is so sad and heartbreaking. Please pray, reach out and most important love your neighbor!!!!!!!!!!!!

Struggling

That is what I feel like lately. I just feel like I am struggling with everything. I stay so exhausted. I am struggling because I believe we should leave things up to the Lord including our fertility but then my health has really went downhill this time with this pregnancy. It just has not been as easy, may be cause I am having a girl too. I tend to have a harder time with girls. Dh and I have decided we will probably use Natural Family Planning this time around and chart and go by that, he also mentioned barrier methods too. He has just been worried about my health. Of course I am too but I know God will provide me strength but maybe it is his will for us to use these methods to hopefully keep from having another baby so soon and give my body a rest. I don't know with hormones you just really do not know how you feel about decisions you make but I do have to honor what my husband wants.
We just recently got tv back and go it back through something called Sky Angel tv. It is really nice and Christian centered. It mostly has all christian channels but also the Hallmark Channel, Fox News, The Weather Channel, and some sports channels. It is so depressing anymore to watch Fox News though . It is so sad how our country is getting further and further from what this country was founded on and the beliefs in which our Founding Fathers believed. I am so tired right now so I won't go into a full rant but just wanted to mention how crazy things have become. All I can say to other like minded Christians is you need to get out and witness, something I need to start doing more of myself.
Tommorrow is my little man's 1 yr birthday party, my where in the world did the year go. He will actually be 1 on the 26th. He is so sweet and has the sweetest smile but he is strong willed like my 2 yr old and my husband lol. so needless to say I will be super busy again tommorrow but it is for a good cause. :)
Thanks to those that follow my blog and please leave me a comment or something. I could use some encouragement these days. Trying to stay positive but sometimes I wonder if the devil is trying to get at me or something. Pray for my husband, his health has not been very good lately and we just spent tons of money this week for them to tell us all the testing looked good and normal. while that is refreshing to hear he doesn't have anything awful we are still back to where we were at wondering what is wrong with him and now out all that money. Also pray that he will get some calls, he has had no work. He painted a room at my parents house that my mom wanted him to for some money, if we would of not had that then he would of had nothing this week. Please also pray for my health and for the health of our unborn blessing. Please leave me any prayer request you might have also. I would love to pray for you also.

I'm getting old -lol!

WEll not really but I am getting older and I can tell it with this pregnancy. My vericose veins are awful. I have had alot of trouble this time with my iron levels and dehydration( I think the dehydration is from peeing every 2 seconds lol) . I failed my 1 hour glucose test but I passed my 3 hour. Thank you Jesus, I did have a ton of people praying. The 3 hour test was horrid and made me feel awful. I am now a little over 31 weeks so moving right along. It has been super super busy around here.
I have a praise report, a couple in our neighborhood and their children went to church with us yesterday. That is such good news. This couple has been struggling to make it and they have kids from different marriages/relationships that have already been through so much. We are studing the Love Dare Study in our Sunday School class and they both said they really liked it and is what they need. So please pray they will be back.
I wanted to say to that if you are reading this blog to try to reach out to somebody today or this week. There are so many hurting in this world, in our communities sometimes we are so busy we do not even notice it. Very sad how hurting some are! Please pray for these people.
My dh's business has picked back up full force. While he is stressed I know he is thankful!! GOd has really blessed this business. We give him all the glory and honor. Hope things are going well for everyone who reads this. HOpe I can blog more later.

Wow

where is the summer going??? I just cannot keep up with everything and I would update but I am so tired right now I cannot think of all we have done. WE have had a busy summer but Ithink the kids would say it has been fun. They have had something pretty much going on all summer. I cannot believe that next month our baby will be 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And then the next month we will finally have a baby girl again. Such exciting times. I do get stressed but I do love being a mom of many, things are never dull around here that is for sure. The girls also start dance/baton/christian drama the first of august so things will not slow down either. Not sure how we will work that in when the new baby comes but we will figure it all out. Our 2 yr old is doing so good with potty training , although he did have a accident just a few minutes ago but he has been pretty easy. I think he might be pretty close by the time the baby gets here which would be wonderful. Dh's business is a bit slow right now but I am not gonna stress cause God has totally provided for us in the past and I know he will now and in the future. He will provide for our needs. God is good, isn't he?
We are doing the Love Dare bible study in our sunday school class and I am also doing the Love Dare book myself and it has made a difference on how I look at things all around. It is a wonderful thing. It brings your attention to things you would of never thought of.
Yes the world is falling apart and going to as my kids would put it down there very fast but I know in the end good will prevail and that in the end victory is God's. My faith is sometimes the only thing that gets me through somedays. I do not see how people make it without the Lord. My prayer is you know the Lord and accept him as your Savior. If not you can, he forgives all sins and he loves everyone very much. WE are all his children. Have a blessed night.
