Act Quickly and Purposefully
A couple of weeks ago Kaitlyn and Charlotte had their Association Drill for Bible Drill. We met at a cute church in Blythewood. It's one of those older churches surrounded by a church graveyard. As all the kids rushed inside for refreshments, I decided to walk around the graveyard and look at all the headstones. So many families were burried together, from grandparents to infants. Death is the same for all of us. It's going to happen, no matter what we do! It reminds me of the transition phase during childbirth, there is no turning back, no easy way out, no giving up, just acceptance. There were 2 headstones that represented siblings, both dying on the same day. One was 3 and the other was 7. How heartbreaking. We never know how long we will be here. We need to live purposefully in this quick and fleeting life! It just makes me wonder "How am I doing?". Am I really living that way or am I letting greatness fall through the cracks of my fingers so that I can grab mediocrity? Lord help me to see what to hold on to.
Facebook vs Blogging
I feel like I have betrayed my blog. Facebook has taken over my loyalties and I don't like it! Maybe the simple fact that I have had a blog longer than a Facebook account makes me feel like I have to be loyal to it. Maybe I haven't written much because I have nothing really significant to say. I don't know. I guess I feel blogging gives me more of a chance to really share all my stuff and Facebook is only for those quick and interesting things that go on in my life. I love Facebook, but I need to feel like I can write my thoughts... just because.

Easter Celebration!
We had a great time yesterday. I am so thankful for my wonderful church and to be able to celebrate his resurrection and life with them. The body of Christ is eternal!! It is a worthwhile thing to spend time with them and pray for them. What an honor.
After church we came home and spent time with my Mom. I am so grateful for her. She has given much of herself, in the last year especially, to come here when she was able just to spend time with us. She has taught the girls several crafty things and it seems she is always willing to teach them what she has learned. She showed us her new projects in beading a crochet necklace(fun!) and crocheting an afghan. In our family time is a very precious gift so we are appreciative when someone gives of there time. It shows love. If you want to know what I mean, spend a little time with the older kids and I guarantee that you will hear "thank you" many times!!
We went outside for a bit and blue bubbles that my Mom had bought for the kids. Me and Mom laid in the sun for a bit to get some vitamin d. We had leg of lamb, mashed potatoes, and green bean casserole for dinner. I was(and am-absent the fever now) very sick so the girls fixed the potatoes and casserole. It turned out great! The lamb was so very good, most of the kids loved it but some couldn't take the "gamey" taste. We did hide chocolates around the house after a bible lesson. We demonstrated that just as we are searching intently for the chocolates, knowing how good they are and hoping that we can find them, we should search intently for Christ, knowing how good he is and that we have hope in him. Though we have obstacles that come our way, we will not stop. And when we have this goodness, don't we want to share it? To tell others about him. Obviously this breaks down at some point but we wanted them to relate the feeling of intent searching and hope for something good, to the attitude that we should have when we are searching for Christ, his will, and the hope of glory. Thank you God for your demonstration of love for us that while we were still sinners you died for us. Not just that you died but that you rose from the grave, conquering death once and for all.

Regrets and Attitudes
This week I have been thinking about choices in my life that have led to this or that. I found that it was not the actual choices that I made that I regretted the most, it was my attitude about those choices! Even the choices that turned out to be wise sometimes were tainted due to my attitude about actually making those choices. I think we justify our attitude(which is a choice itself by the way) by assuming that as long as the choice we made was good then it doesn't matter. God looks at the heart and what he sees in me is usually discontent, even though my outward body may not show it. This is where the Word of God comes in, renewing our minds and transforming us. This lump of clay needs a lot of molding!! What then should I do? Memorizing scripture, reading the Bible, and believing it will transform our minds. The Bible says that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. In order to fear something you have to know what it is capable of AND that it is true. Do I truly believe it? Absolutely. Do you?

Broccoli and Cheese
This recipe is part of an ongoing series documenting my experiences as I try the recipes from the book Living on Live Food by Alissa Cohen.
Broccoli and Cheesepg.290
I did not take a picture of this because I couldn't look at it again! I got so sick. In all fairness, it was not the recipe but when I get sick the last thing I eat tends to linger in my memory as the culprit. It tasted great though. It might be a while before I attempt it again

Teach Them Diligently Conference
We are going to the Teach Them Diligently Conference! I am a little nervous about taking everyone up but we will have help from our parents, thankfully! I fear however that I will GREATLY miss my little people! They will be with one of our parents during the conference and I am just not sure I am ok with that, lol. I will likely have to leave so that I can spend time with them. Some people might think that it's unhealthy to miss them like that but I just LOVE them. I would take them with me but I fear that they would be overwhelmed with all the people there. I guess I will just have to wait and see. The kids are very excited. Not only are they excited about the conference, they have been giddy over the free breakfast from the hotel. I have been undecided about what to do for their meals, which is NOT free, lol. At the conference there will be vendors, chick-fil-a, subway, etc.. but I imagine it will be costly and very busy. I am thinking we will likely bring something, that way it won't take us as long and I can keep it healthy. I NEED healthy food so that I can pay attention, I will likely be exhausted and some good food always helps.
The past several weeks have been difficult with Melody, though the last 2 nights she has done well. She is so precious, she just wants to feel loved and close to you. She had a lot of congestion at night that would wake her up and she needed to know we were there. Adding to the lack of sleep was Jason's work schedule and the pressure right before a deployment. He has had a lot of stress on him because his project was deployed the end of last week. God blessed him though! He has had only minor changes here and there. That is a huge praise report because it could have been disastrous! He is still recovering from being sick last weekend as well, so this has been a crazy week but we can see God all in it. Isn't it wonderful when you catch a glimpse of just how much he loves us and cares for our needs? What name can you give him to describe his character and relationship to us?

Indian Spinach Dip
This recipe is part of an ongoing series documenting my experiences as I try the recipes from the book Living on Live Food by Alissa Cohen.
Indian Spinach Dip
p. 306
Indian Spinach Dip
p. 306
I started this recipe knowing that I would probably like it. I love avocados and indian spices so why wouldn't I like it? I did NOT expect my kids to like it, especially one of my pickiest. Charlotte was the only one who didn't like it but she HATES avocado. She did say that it was pretty good considering what was in it. In the picture I have the dip spread on napa cabbage with onions, tomato, and sprouts. It was delicious! The kids ate the dip with the cabbage and my buckwheat crackers. The bread in the picture is rye bread made from sprouted rye(also from Alissa's book but I will post a review on that later). I haven't eaten napa cabbage this way before(surprisingly!) but this is going to be a staple from now on. I really enjoyed it!
Living on Live Food recipe adventure
I am starting a series of posts where I will be going through the book Living on Live Food and posting pics and reviews of the recipes. It should be fun and motivating! The kids are interested it in to so I might get them to take some pics. I am starting from the beginning but I will likely jump around a bit because of ingredients and such. I will continue to update this post with the links to the recipes.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was a huge eye opener for me. I don't think I will ever look at learning and education the same way.

Women in the Word
I am going through a study of Ephesians now with Good Morning Girls We are using SOAP as we go through. I am enjoying it so far, it's not to demanding to keep up with and it is a step toward my goal of writing the New Testament as a keepsake for my children. We haven't gotten far but already are being slammed with Truth, gotta love Ephesians! Predestination, the Mystery of Christ, and the fulfillment of God's will all in 10 verses!

State of Being vs State of Mind
I've been thinking about a concept since last night and had a chance to "cook" on it a little. In most circumstances I would say that the following is true. Surely this concept breaks down at some point but I like it for it's simplicity. This is probably not original to me but I don't know of anyone who has written/spoke it in this way. If you do, let me know, I want to read more of what they have to say.
Its not a state of "being" that usually causes me problems, it's my state of "mind"
It's not my future state of being that will cause my current fear, it's my current state of my mind about my future state of being that rattles my bones.

Grateful for my husband!
This morning Jason and I were talking about some things and I am just so grateful that God has given him insight and he helps me to understand certain things. Sometimes my view becomes cloudy and I can't quite understand the full picture. We were talking about the "all or nothing" mentality. I have mentioned on my blog that I struggle with this daily. What I haven't recognized is that there are others who struggle with the same thing and I need to understand and give them grace in this area. Just because you can't be the best musician, programmer, artist, mother, daughter, father, papa, etc.. doesn't mean that you give it up all together. It means that you do the best you can and work with what you got. Jason gave me a beautiful imagery. He said " Picture 2 gardens. One is lush and has thick black soil with abundant fruit and beauty. It would be awesome. Now picture another garden with boulders around everywhere and very few spots for adequate plant growth. But on the boulders you see cracks where plants have sprung up and one even has an apple tree! Wouldn't that be amazing?" He said " Your life is like that garden with all those boulders. You have to live in this garden, it's just the way things are. Don't you want to let God make it the most miraculous and awe-inspiring as you can? To tend to the plants that you CAN grow, even if it's not some botanical garden? God is growing plants where you least expect them. Don't give up and settle for a yard of boulders. Let God make it something beautiful" So all those people out there who struggle with the all or nothing mentality, Let God make something beautiful out of your garden of boulders!

Update on Pregnancy
Things have been going fairly well, with the exception of my typical issues like restless legs and circulation issues. I haven't had many braxton hicks contractions so that's awesome. I have, in the last 2 wks, experienced a change in things though. It looks as though she has dropped a great deal and I am having more issues with varicose vein pain, especially after waking in the morning. It's very weird. I haven't been to the doctor since my 20 wk appt but I am going tomorrow so we will see how she is doing in there. I have this huge fear that they will put me in the hospital. It seems every time I show up there that's what ends up happening, lol. I rest in the knowledge that God is in control and he knows the perfect plan for this little one. That is a very comforting thing for a Mom. I will update how the appt went.
