Victory

Today's "Moment of Grace"from Max Lucado............
A bit of a sidebar: I have recenlty come in contact with someone who has fallen from grace and now claims to be an Atheist. I pray for you often....This made me think of you.

This is the victory that conquers the world--our faith. 1 John 5:4

"What is unique about the kingdom of God is that you are assured of victory. You have won! You are assured that you will someday stand before the face of God and see the King of Kings....that someday you will enter a world where there will be no more pain, no more tears, no more sorrow....
If you have no faith in the life that is beyond this life, then your present life is going to be powerless. But if you believe in the future and are assured of victory, then there should be a dance in your step and a smile on your face."


This also makes me think of my present journey--running. Running is something I never thought I could do. But I feel that the Lord is using this to teach me something about believing in myself and trusting that HE'S got it all under control....All I have to do is have FAITH!

"Romance"

Dates are few an far between for Jay and I, but we actually got to go on one for Valentine's. The only time we go to NICE places is of course with out the kiddos, but probably because we are too cheap, or broke, but we have no shame when it comes to using our gift cards to eat out. We ate at AJ's and the food was fabulous!

It was a very typical night out for us......Sitting at the table ,
I'm having a nice drink, talking to Jay, as he nodds in agreement to my conversation trying to be inerested. All the while not really making eye contact with me.....WHY? Because we were just close enough to the bar and the BIG SCREEN with a basketball game on! Oh sweet romance!! I couldn't help but laugh.

I'm not complaining, although I have been known to do so. He's so good to me!! He's a great father and husband! He has to be to put up with me!

I love YOU, JAY!

9 months

Well, I can't believe that our little guy is already 9 months old! His check-up was today. He is weighing in at 21lbs 15oz and is 28.5 inches long. Although it appears he is gonna be a late crawler, just as he was with rolling over and sitting up, he is a very healthy little man. I suppose I really don't mind not having to keep up with him yet. Holding my sweet baby boy is just fine with me!
