Week 32 scripture challange- believe

This is Week 32 Scripture Challange, the word this week was Believe....I put alot of thought it to the verse that I chose today, Triple the Scraps talked in her blog about not just saying we believe, acting like we believe. I wanted to find a verse that represented that, but in my search I found Mark 5:36 The Lord was talking to a ruler but I really think he was addressing that to me. Do you ever have those days where you fear things? You fear and when it is all said and done you have worked yourself up into something ridiculous (I hope I am not alone) I tend to fear the unknown, I tend to fear the things that I cannot control, or things that I know I should not be afraid of. This verse really spoke to my heart. He says "Dont be afraid, just BELIEVE!" Believing and having faith that God will guide our steps, He knows where we have been and He knows exactly where we are headed...Just believing that he will protect us in our time of need. There is so much hate in the world, but there is one thing we can always rely on, and thats God.

Its my dads birthday

Today is my dads birthday, he would have been 60 years old today. I probably would have started my day with a phone call to him to let him know that he was an old fart.

I miss him.

Scripture Challange: Choose

So I joined in on this challange in Week 31 but, thats ok I am so glad I found it! This weeks Challange word was Choose, it reminded me of that song that jeremy sings at Church, I choose Jesus so I had to include that! But the verse I chose was Proverbs 8:10:

Oh the things you discover about your parents...

Most of you know (especially if you read my blog) that my dad passed away suddenly almost a year ago, it has been a long road but it is time to pick up the pieces....

I am working on a scrapbook of the hundreds of pictures that he had, so I started with the ones from when he was in the Navy...I did not know much about his time in the Navy so I decided to do alittle research...I have discovered it is amazing what you can find on the internet....I think I discovered more than I bargined for HAHAHA! But I discovered things that I long wondered about and I learned somethings I probably could have lived without knowing...none the less I love my dad, and miss him beyond explanation...

God is so Good!

You know God is good when he shows himself while you are standing in line at Target...

I had to share this story, I just had to brag on God....

I have been doing good creating a budget every month and alotting myself 100 for 2 weeks of groceries...I do pretty good with coupons and stuff and usually that just what I spend and sometimes less.

Anyway...I went to Lowes and spent $43 and $10 at the HT, and I knew going to target I did not have much left and really had to make it work...I didnt have any coupons to use except 2 coupons, this trip was going to be pushing my luck because I had to buy diapers and water, that in itself was 25... I got carried away when I was in target and got alot more than I came for....I got fresh veggies, lunch meat, and several other things.....

When I got in line and placed all that stuff on the counter thing I seriously began to get upset, thinking what did I do, this is not in my budget I have spent way to much my budget is so tight I didnt have the extra to spend. I was regreting my purchases....

So I began to pray "God you are the only one who can make this less than 50, God you know we cant afford to spend more than 50." I kept saying that over and over again...She was ringing up my stuff and i just couldnt look I knew that I had spent 70 or 80 bucks. I gave her the 2 coupons I had and she said...........

your total is $48, I almost lost it in line at target.... Like I said you know God is good when he shows himself in target. I wanted to jump on that counter and scream God is good! He knows our need, and He meets those needs! HE IS SO GOOD!

The many sleeping positions of addie grace

Jeremy and I have discovered that addie sleeps weird....I don't know that I will ever understand how or why she sleeps this way but she has been doing it since she was about 10 months old.
