@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

I can not believe we have posted nothing on this blog since July! How embarrassing. I need to maintain this one myself, the girls have such a full plate.
So now it is 2010. Lets see... I assume I should post something about things I hope to accomplish this year.

1. I hope to have a closer relationship with my Lord.
This will also encourage closer relationships with my family, it is just the fruit of that closer walk. I am blessed to have children who seek the Lord daily in most everything they do. Not perfect children, but sinners seeking everyday. It's so encouraging to me.

2. School, we always want to accomplish much in this area . It is great to have kids who want to learn.

3. Looking forward to several trips this year, Lord willing and Suburban running!

4. Help my wonderful husband in all his endeavors. (being a helpmeet comes natural to very few women.) I believe a lot of us start most days with that in our hearts and slowly lose the vision due to stress we try to take on ourselves without God, in our own strength which is weak. Proverbs 31, we are to do our husbands good. It is our charge to help our men in every way. That is our job. (I would like to recommend the C.D. "A wise woman's guide to blessing her Husbands Vision" by Doug Phillips. Great message on this subject.)

5. Make each day more simple than the day before. Remove distractions from our day. Even good things in excess are no longer good. Books, movies, CD's and oh yes the big vacuum.. computer's The more stuff we have the more stress we have. I have discovered the more we own the more stressed I feel. Always one more gadget, one more piece of clothing etc. Somethings we need, many things we do not. De-clutter!

6. Tell my children everyday, in some way, how great they are. Even on the not so great days.

I have been blessed with wonderful, God seeking children. Girls who look for ways to bless their family each day. They are encouraging to one another, as well as other's around them. Elijah brings a new element of excitement to our home. In his own powerful 6 year old way brings a lot to the table. Not a week goes by that he does not pose a question that sends us seeking deeper in the word for answers. His prayers are very powerful, I love to hear him pray.

7.Spend time wisely. We have family members that may not be around much longer. I want to know all I can about all their experiences. They have so much to pass on to the next generation. (with their view of the world pre- blogging, twitter,email etc.)

Well , I guess that is it for today. Don't look for anything more than once a week. I am not on here that much.
I do however want to wish each and every one of you a Blessed New Year and 2010! Most who read our blogs are dear family and friends and we love you all! You bring much to our lives. WE THANK GOD FOR EACH OF YOU EVERYDAY.

Hey guys!

Hey guys this is Maddie posting. I will have some pictures from LA posted on here soon we lost an SD card and we thought it was in LA but like 5 minutes ago Alyssa found it in her skirt pocket so hopefully all of the blogs should get an up date about LA soon. But like I did with my blog here is a verse for now.

While he was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and brothers stood outside, asking to speak with to him but he replied to the man who told him "who is my mother and who are my brothers?" And stretching out his hand to his disciples, he said, " here are my mothers and my brothers! For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother."

(Matthew Chapter 12 verses 46-50)

Happy Mother's Day!!!!

We love you mom and thank you for you wise counsel.

You have never lied to us you always tell the truth.

You never think of yourself.

And love us no matter what!

Not too many children in the world can say that about their moms.

We love you dearly and pray the Lord blesses you greatly

for being such a good wife and mom!

Proverbs 31:10-31

¹⁰Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

¹¹The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.

¹²She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

¹³She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.

¹⁴She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.

¹⁵She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.

¹⁶She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.

¹⁷She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.

¹⁸She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.

¹⁹She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.

²⁰She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.

²¹She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.

²²She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.

²³Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.

²⁴She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.

²⁵Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.

²⁶She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.

²⁷She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.

²⁸Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.

²⁹Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.

³⁰Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.

³¹Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

Happy Mother's Day
