I've kinda been a blogging slacker lately. Maybe recouping from the holidays...
Some updates~
Tracey, her boyfriend Matt and her friend Serra from Missouri came for a long weekend. We had a great time with them and glad they came by. Ali just loves her "TT". Noel prefers his mommy which is fine with me! :o)
Potty training is still going well. She still has accidents and refuses to go #2 in the potty. She waits until she has a diaper on for nap. It'll come...I know...Encouraging to know that I know no one my age that still has potty accidents! :o)
Noel loves running through the house, screaming, yelling and talking. His vocabulary consists of "Mommy, Daddy, Nana (Banana), Cracker, WaWa (water), Baby, Puppy, Meow." There could be more but I can't think of any right now.
My main job is serious referee. Ali is ALWAYS taking toys away from Noel. The result? Glass shattering little boy screams. I think I say these words the most throughout the day "Ali, give that toy back to Noel. He had it first." So yes. The fighting has already begun...and they are 2 and 1. 20 years to go.
Some thoughts on today's Inauguration:
Some of my Christian friends seem to be seriously worried about our new president. My view? It is comforting to know that Barack Obama is not ultimately in control. The Most High is on His throne and has EVERYTHING under control! Maybe Christians will come under more persecution, but maybe not....but Jesus told us that we WILL be persecuted for His name. Do not worry...He is there, watching over us. I have been doing my Daniel study and am in the eschatology section. Only God knows what time we are truly in, but I was so excited to read this passage in Revelation: "And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God...They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years...This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years." vv.4-6
My point? Even if we are persecuted...isn't it SO worth it to reign with Jesus over the devil? BRING IT ON! I have SO much Jesus excitement in my soul that I don't even know how to put it all down into words..! I guess what I'm ultimately trying to say is that I do not fear man.
Also...being pessimistic...has any president ever done everything they say they are going to do during their campaign?

ReplyDeleteYou go girl...like you, it just makes me want to flex my God muscles...if you know what I mean!! Very, very nicely said!! Hey, have you ever heard of Ginger Plowman...she wrote an awesome book called "Don't Make Me Count to Three." It's all about using scripture to not only rebuke but to TRAIN our children. It was awesome for me and really shed some light on how to train the boys! You should google her! She has this incredible chart/cheat sheet tool for helping utilize the scripture for each sin. Your "who had it first" statement reminded me of something from her book! You should check it out, seriously!
ReplyDeleteI second that! All of it. I'm so grateful for my Heavenly Father and His son, Jesus Christ. Bring it on is right! :) And can I stand on the front lines elbows locked with you? Also, what is it with fighting lately? I think we could all use a dose of good old fashioned sunshine! :)
