Spring Cleaning

Okay, so around March everyone starts CLEANING HOUSE, ya know the whole Spring Cleaning thing. Well, if you are among the many that LOVE this, how about we SPRING CLEAN ourselves?? Ya know there's a lot of dirt, and things we don't need in ourselves, i.e. bad habits, addictions, and things that we DON'T do that we should do. It's not too late in the year to look back at those New Year's Resolutions, and START OVER!!! Even if you start NOW, you've got 9 months of good things to look forward to!!

I am trying to go back to January and there are 2 areas that still need MAJOR improvements on my original RESOLUTION list...QUALITY prayer time - this is not quantity, hours in prayer (although I do believe, as the Bible says, we should pray without ceasing), this is Quality Prayer Time, praying for the needs of others and really having a relationship with my Creator, my Saviour, and Friend. The other area, is better TIME MANAGEMENT....working on this, and I must say it IS better, but still LOTS of room for improvement.

Encourage yourself in the Lord....remember "I can do all things THROUGH Christ which strengtheneth me." (emphasis mine) Philippians 4:13

The not so hard to keep up with Jones'

Well because I haven't written in ages, it isn't really that hard to keep up with us. It is nearing April, and I realize I haven't written anything since, January 30th. So to catch up I guess I should tell you, we lost the baby I was expecting. Which we are totally okay, and have accepted that everything happens (or doesn't happen) in God's timing. Eva will be a year old May 5th. She is still my baby. However, she's walking, and Monday morning will be our last "nursing event". I feel.......VERY bummed about that!

Other things are going well though, the Lord has consistently provided every week for our needs. He never ceases to amaze me how He uses people to be a blessing in time of need. A friend of mine and I have vowed to pray about something personal for her and her family, in the meantime though, God has used her NUMEROUS times to be an answer to pray for our family. Last Wednesday, when I drove up my drive way coming home from church, there were two HUGE boxes of diapers (the BIG BOXES) 408 diapers total, of size 3, well Eva will start wearing the 3's tomorrow actually. It was a daily prayer about the diaper thing, because well, they're expensive and they are a NEED. God is soo good. Also, last week my husband went with me to the grocery store, and mentioned he would like to have potato soup again soon. Well, it wasn't on my list for this trip so I didn't get it, and what do you know the SAME lady this past Wednesday night brought us some potato soup..........FREAKY huh, I love freaky when it comes to prayers being answered.....I am ALL about it, because my God is awesome and I mean AWEsome!! I am in awe of Him daily. Praise the Lord for his goodness and for his wonderful works to the children of men.

Hopefully this means I am back in blogworld....I'd like to post some pictures soon........if I can figure out the easiest way how :)
