Half way there!!!

I am in the middle of a three week commitment to God, and it is harder than I thought it would be! But God is blessing me, and He is using me in ways I didn't expect. God is so good, and it is good living for the Lord. I wouldn't want it any other way! God is doing great things in our church here at Bethel and I am excited to be a part of the body! Time is short and I want Him to use me to the fullest to be a blessing to His kingdom. That is what really matters. I want to make heaven my home and I want to take as many family and friends with me as possible! God has blessed me beyond measure, He took me out of a pit of sin and cleansed me with His precious blood, the blood that was shed on calvary. While I was yet a sinner, He loved me. While I was out doing things I shouldn't have, pleasing my own flesh, and living for me...He loved me. More than anyone else in the world, He loved me with PERFECT love, and He still does. I am in no way perfect, but I thank God for the transformation he has done in my life! I owe it all to Him!!!

Her first tooth!!!

Mariah has been teething for the past 5 months...and FINALLY one has came through!!! You can't see it too well, but you can feel it. That is if you are brave enough to stick your finger in her mouth. He he...She has another one right next to it on the bottom that I expect to come through soon as well. Now hopefully she doesn't bite her tounge since she always loves to stick it out! She will be 10 months on the 29th, growing way too fast. She is crawling all over the place, pulling herself up to standing, attempting the stairs, getting into cupboards, she loves being mobile. More work for mom, but she also keeps herself entertained more :) Over all she is a really good baby. Always happy, ok so she started crying right when I wrote that...overall she is a happy baby. Life is good and my kids are a wonderful blessing! :)

Life in the West

We had a nice few days of warm weather last week. I miss it already. I am ready for the rainy cloudy days to take their leave! The blossoms are on the trees, flowers are coming up, my herb garden is growing...oh yeah, that is inside...AeroGarden rocks! He he...back to the weather though, I want the sunny days to be here. I want to BBQ at the park, watch the kids play, and just relax with my family!
