Speaking Blessing

I'm doing something different... well not "really" different. I'm just making a habit to spitting out blessing from my mouth instead of negative or something that is NOT uplifting. God has pointed some things out to me about what I have been think and what has come out of my mouth lately. So I'm going to speak blessing instead. So here goes...

1. I have a relationship with the God of the universe through His Son Jesus. He loves me and cares about what is goes on during my day.

2. I have an AMAZING HUSBAND! John you are my best friend. Love you LOTS!

3. I have the two cutest daughters in the world! Olivia Grace and Anna Marie are my joy!

4. I have super friends! I don't know how I would survive with out you. Seriously! I want to be as big of a blessing to you as you are to me.

5. My family is amazing! Love you all!

6. My church family. I am so blessed to belong to God's family! There are some AMAZING people at ESBC, but also God's family around the world. I love meeting fellow believers!

7. The food on our table, clothes on our back, and roof over our head. Thank you Jesus!

8. Technology. Without that I couldn't do this..

9. Health.

10. Being a stay at home Mom. I have so enjoyed the past 2 1/2 years. Thank you Jesus for the opportunity to raise my children how we believe they should be raised.

Philippians 4:7
Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

1 Peter 3:10
For the Scriptures say,“If you want to enjoy lifeand see many happy days,keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies.

Deuteronomy 30:19
“Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live.

Philippians 4:8
And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.

Blogger Tourettes

Okay, I know my blog has changed A LOT lately. But it's had some ticks (or the user..ha!). When I get it the way I want it something goes wrong with my background or my header and I've had to change it. Weird... The websites that I use backgrounds and headers on has been funny lately. Or like I said maybe it's just been me honestly. So yes, it's changed quite a bit.

A First

Haircut!
Thank you Amy!
Don't ya love the tongue sticking out?... Ornery little tooter..

VBS

This week we sailed the high seas exploring the great love of God and His Word. What a week! Whew I am tired! Last night was our VBS program. This is the Livy's class (3 and 4 years old). The kids did a great job!

Livy loved the music. It was her favorite part. Her Momma's girl...

Livy and her friend Ashley

We had fun, but thankful it's over.

All Twisted Up..

In the laundry. Momma really needed to fold that!

Surprise!

I woke up this morning to this...

We used to find her on the couch a lot when we put her in her toddler bed. We haven't found her this way in a while. Although my Mom said she found her and Bethany on the couch when they stayed at her house.

She sleeps. Pretty sweet!

Going on a Picnic

Well...we would if it wasn't so stink'n hot! John has really wanted to build a picnic table for a long time. I think he did a great job!

Toy Story Snacks..

Can I have some?

I must say, this is the best picture in the world! I love it! Anna looks just like her Daddy with that big ol' toothy grin.

4th of July

I love the 4th of July! We went to my parents as always. Of course a fun time was had by all!
