My Gideon Bible

As I am driving to work, I noticed these elderly gentlemen handing out 'something'.  As I stood at a stop light, about 10 people walked by one gentleman and completely denied his offering..I was curious what he was handing out.  So I parked my car and instead of taking my 'short-cut' into work, I decided to walk the long way, just so I could get a glimpse of what these men were handing out. As I got closer, I soon realized how many people wouldn't even look at these men in the eye.  I walked up, he handed me a little green book, I looked down and it said "New Testament | Psalms and Proverbs. Wow, was I excited, I said thank you very much took the Bible and told each of the gentleman to have a blessed day!  Talk about shock--those two men looked at me and both said "Thank you!" So here I am today to say Thank You, Father!  Thank you for bringing Your Word to my work.  I'm thinking it was a way of telling me that I need to "Pray without c...

It's Friday and...

I plan to clean Bailey's closet Get my Avon organized Fix omelets for dinner (yummy) Make sure Bailey does her homework Possibly watch a movie with the hubby (and make some home-made popcorn)

Proud Momma Moment

Maybe it's just my over-active hormones, but, I have been having a lot of these lately...Bailey is super-excited about her little brother and literally cannot stop talking about it.  This morning, she asked "When he comes, can I take him to school for Show n Tell?"  I told her, I'd be more than happy to visit her class later on in the school year so she can 'show off' her little brother.  She then replied with a 'great--thanks mom!'. It's amazing what goes through your mind when you're getting a 1st grader off to school in the morning..with every little kick and movement that Caleb has blessed me with this morning, I'm double-blessed with having a healthy 6 year old.  It makes me flash back to the time when it was Bailey in my tummy doing the movements and I couldn't imagine my life without her and definitely couldn't imagine me loving another little one as much as I love her~but I can honestly say, I do.  I love both my kids whet...

Less than 4 months to go...

...and our family will be complete.  Caleb Randall is due in January (between the 7th and the 19th--it seems that every month, the doctor 'toggles' between those two dates). I'm still in utter shock that I am pregnant, but feel like I'm NOW getting used to the fact.  The nursery is almost done, but this means, there is absolutely no extra space upstairs.  When we first moved in, his bedroom was a dining room.  Then we converted it into an office and playroom (not the best use of space, but it worked) and now it's a nursery.   I can't believe we've lived there nearly 9 years come December, but I wouldn't change a thing--except for the darn school district! Well anyways, as I sit here at work with my feet propped up ready to start the day, I am thankful for the Lord and all of the people that are in my life, whether in person, on the phone, or even virtually. I started readying Proverbs just about 3 weeks ago.  I tried to read a chapter a day,...

Will this work?

Think this may work. I plan to start blogging about my life as wife and mother. I've always been hestitant about blogging about such things as I feel some things are left private, however I also feel this may be a good outlet for me to to get to know other mothers and wives with the same interests as myself. So watch out, these blogs could get long, but if I just hang in there, I'm sure they will be worth the ride.
