Busy, busy

Oh my, we've been busy!! This last week had my life devoted to our office, a.k.a, the crazy room.

Is it possible to have so much stuff in one room?

Yes. Yes, it is.

Now this is such a task that I've taken "before" pictures, and I will try and post them when I am thoroughly done!

And of course there was the joy of Daddy and Kyle coming home on Tuesday! They had been in Indianna for the Men's Leadership Summit, and checking out the area for a possible future home. But we were so glad when they returned after a whole long week!!

And let me tell you how much fun it was to see my brothers "united" after that trip! Thank the Lord for brotherly love and how He chooses to show it! They were so, so silly and they were wrestling and tickling and laughing and "fighting." A 13 year old and a 3 year old showing how much they missed eachother, by just being brothers. They truly are gifts from above.

So that was really our week in a nutshell. Cleaning and missing "our men" dearly! I'll post later after I've finished.... you guessed it!

Cleaning!

Just one thing...

Happy 105th birthday, Dr. Suess!!

What to do, what to do....

Okay, who gave Daniel caffeine??

Seriously, this boy is bouncing off the walls!! He's always fun, but he's rarely this crazy.

So, what do you do when your three-year old is this hyper?

Simple solution: Let him play with hawk feathers, he'll think if he flaps hard enough, he'll fly. Then teach him the chicken dance and let him chase you around the living-room while you perform it!

Good to know, right?

A humble heart

How often do we go about our day wondering what Jesus would think of our conduct?
"Would I squirm if He was watching this movie with me?"
"Would I talk to Kyle with this tone if He was standing in the doorway?"

So many times I'm caught red-handed in this area. My attitude, tone, or reasons are not at all pleasing to Him. Even if I'm doing something good, like cleaning up the table, wiping up a spill. Why am I doing it? Is it for attention? Or is it to honor Him? Pride is a very sly and dangerous thing, and we have to, have to hate it. Otherwise it will slowly but surely creep into our lives and make up a comfortable spot in our heart! And, really, it is much better a task to keep it out of our hearts than it is to get it out of our hearts.

I hate pride. It makes me dislike people. So why wouldn't I think others would dislike it in me? And if I hate pride, why is it in me?

Because. I don't hate it enough. (thanks Morgan!) So what I really need to do is to pray fervently that Jesus would smile on me again, and grant me a humble heart.

And come on, who doesn't want one of those?
