Personality

My sweet friend introduced me to this personality test. I find it quite interesting! I would like my husband, sisters, and mom to take the test! Hint! Hint! Let me know what you are!
Here are the results my friend sent me!
All about me!

The Calvinist Virus

This is quite an interesting post ... The Calvinist Virus ... you have to read some of the previous posts that they refer to, but it is worth the read!

Actually, this post is how to combat the virus, and this is the must read. The above gives the background to it all if you are interested!

Before & After - The Hall Bath

OK ... here's the color the hall bath was!!!!!!!! Actually, both bath rooms were this color! A man raising three boys lived here before we moved in! Can you tell? The neighbors and his fiancee tried to get him to paint a different color! WOW, what we have lived with!





Much better! What a difference a coat of paint makes! My sweet in-laws, John's dad and step-mom, gave me this for a Christmas present! At Christmas they presented me with a gift card to Home Depot, and a note saying that they were coming to paint for me! What a GREAT gift!

This is my life ...

I have a funny feeling that this "Friday Funny" is going to be my life raising one daughter and three boys! I am looking forward to many laughs, and I am sure many tears as well!

Happy Birthday to a Little Friend!

Friends! Happy Birthday, Roy! I am so thankful Grant has several good friends! What a blessing! We pray that all of our children and their friends will honor the Lord with their lives, even at the young age of five!

At the ZOO! Better late than never!

A month late on the post, but my children are still talking about it! The ZOO was great! Jack is still singing ... "Mamma's taking us to the zoo tomorrow, zoo tomorrow, Mamma's taking us to the zoo tomorrow, we can stay all day." That is a Raffi song that they like! They all loved the baby elephant playing with the ball! See more pictures at Monkey Fever. We hope to do homeschool day at the zoo again!

Joy in the morning ...

Well, I think I wrote my post too late last night! Life is better than it seems sometimes! Starting when we were dating, John would say, "joy comes in the morning," as he quoted from Psalms. When we have had difficult moments, he has always encouraged me to pray, sleep, and have a new perspective in the morning. I thank the Lord for the sweet day He has given me.

Psalm 30:5 (King James Version)
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

Stuck

Well, life is moving right along! Everyone is well (I think)! Shelby, Grant, & Jack had check-ups on Friday! Jack's ear still wasn't well, but it was much better! Grant had a reaction to one of his shots (he did this last time), but the swelling is down and the redness is decreasing as well! The reaction didn't scare me as bad this time, since I knew what we went through before. The boys were VERY BIG to take their immunizations, get a sucker, and head out the door! Mommy hates them more than anyone!

Moving right along to the reason this post has the title it does ... STUCK! Do you ever feel stuck in life! HA! Right now life is moving so fast, just because I am mothering small children, but I start feeling stuck! Not stuck in my situation (wife and mom), I wouldn't trade it for the world. Stuck in how I do things and handle relationships etc. I know I just have to "do it" - just change, but like always ... easier said than done! So, those of you reading ... please pray for me! Pray that I love and discipline my children in a manner than honors the Lord. Also pray that I serve my husband in a way that encourages him, but also "spurs him on" in the Lord. Thanks!

I think I am just a little out of sorts because my Bible is sitting in the pew at church along with Jack's new Bible verse magnet! Bummer! Using the internet or my "old" Bible just isn't the same!
