HOLY MOLY...

...it is windy today! This is all I could come up with today, sorry folks! But it is true up here in NW OK! It is ridiculous, Carter couldn't even stand up straight outside it was so bad. Poor guy! We have had a busy day so I didn't get real creative. The wind is so bad it knocked the Internet out for most of the day too, so I can blame it on that. Hopefully tomorrow I can be more creative but the next letter is I so don't get your hopes up too high :)

GOSPEL

I chose this today not because it is Sunday, but because I have been thinking a lot about the gospel the last few days. What I am doing with the gospel and what should I be doing with the gospel.

In Sunday school class we are talking a lot about getting the gospel out to people and I know I don't do a great job at that. I always give the excuse of being at home and not having anyone to share it with. But that is just an excuse.

The bible says in Mark 13:10 "And the gospel must first be preached to all nations." and in Mark 8:35 "For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it." Those are pretty convicting verses of scripture.

So I need to get with it and share the gospel more because My Lord commanded it and because if I love Him as much as I say I do then I would be more obedient. So a little challenge to us all today...

Here is the gospel summarized in one verse if there are passersby who are wondering what the heck I am talking about! John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

FAMILY!

Today will be spent with family and it couldn't be better! My mom has been here since Wednesday helping me around the house and with the boys! God Bless her! There is no way sometimes I could function without her! My laundry is caught up, my house is clean, and my ironing is done. WAY TO GO MOM!!!! I am so glad that I was able to get some rest and the boys got to see their Gigi! All are happy! Later this afternoon she will have to leave, but Cory's parents are coming today too! So we will be busy, and the boys will be spoiled, but that is okay every once in awhile!

Enjoy your family today and thank God for them!

Eating Bananas!

Carter woke up this afternoon after his surgery decided he was hungry. He ate a few saltines but that wasn't what was going to satisfy his hunger. He was in my arms walking through the kitchen and saw the bananas on the counter. "uh, uh" he grunted and pointed towards the bunch. So I got him one and he wolfed it down in no time. No less than 5 minutes after that he started fussing again and was standing at the cabinet reaching for another one! We didn't think he would really eat another one, but we let him start in. Again in no time flat the 2nd one was gone! All the confusion this morning made him really hungry for bananas!

Alphabet aside - Pray for Carter - UPDATE...

We have to go in at 6:30AM tomorrow for Carter's surgery. He is having tubes put in his ears and his adenoids taken out. He can't eat after midnight so that is the part that I am most concerned about now. The surgery will be a piece of cake I am sure, but prayers will be appreciated anyway! Thanks!


UPDATE...He did okay! He had a little more trouble than usual waking up from the drugs, but overall okay. We got home around 10:45AM and he ate some food and took a short nap. He is a little fussy still and wobbly from the drugs, but overall in good shape! Thanks for the prayers.

Dingbat!

That would be me! Today while at Walmart I unknowingly dropped my wallet in the parking lot by the car. Well after we left Walmart, I drove to Stage to get Caden some shoes. We went in, shopped for a pair, and found one, then went to check out and I couldn't find it. We looked all over Stage, in the car, everywhere. So luckily, my mom was with us and bought his shoes! We drove back to Walmart and looked in the parking lot, but it wasn't there of course. It had been 20 minutes or more. I wasn't panicked, I was just dreading the pain the rear phone calls to cancel all my cards and such. Mom ran in to Walmart and sure enough, some good Christian person found it in the parking lot and turned it in! Although, the strange thing is, they gave it to my mom, without me even being there. Her wallet is identical to mine but with her initials so who knows. Anyway, I said a little prayer and thanked God for keeping this Dingbat's stuff safe today!

CANDY!!

I am usually not a big candy person, but this is my ultimate favorite candy! My wonderful mother in law got me two bags, yes I said two bags, for Valentine's Day. The bad news is I have been so nauseated I have yet to eat them! I love them and have to buy them anywhere I go. I believe they originated in Germany or something like that but here is a link to how they are made if you are really interested. There is no other gummy bear that can even come close to comparison! They are my favorite, so if you ever need a quick gift for me you can't go wrong with these!

Brothers!

I am so glad my boys have brothers! They are too cute together! Today especially, they played almost all morning together and didn't fight too much! It was too cute. I am hoping come September they are joined by another brother :)
