Behind "Verse of the Day"

Each morning I post a "Verse of the Day." These verses do have special meaning. I choose these verses based on what I am studying at the time, or something that I may be going through. They all have specific relevance in my daily life. I love to share these verses, in hopes that others will be touched by the Word of God. What a blessing it is to be able to read and share His powerful words of truth.

His grace is sufficient

"And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness."
2Corinthians12:9

Rooster Hair

After Noah looked at himself in the mirror, seeing his hair for the first time this morning, he said loudly, "Mom, I am sad!" I asked, "Why are you sad?" He replied boldly, "I'm sad because I have rooster hair!"

Look who has "Pap Pap hair" now!

What is going on with Noah's hair this morning?! All I have to say is......Cockadoodledoo!

He gives me strength

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
Philippians 4:13

Someone wonderful

As I was going for my morning walk, I looked down, and spotted a little plastic toy turtle. I put it in my pocket, a perfect find for the boys. I gave it to Noah, he looked at it and said, "I love it, I want to show it to my wonderful Dad."

The Path

"The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day."
Proverbs 4:18

It's Potty Time

I took this pic of Nate a few days ago. He has been very interested in the potty lately. So I thought, we'll give him an introduction. He just turned 18 mos. old, I can't believe how he's growing. Nothing of course happened while he was on there, but at least he had fun being a big boy. He wasn't tired while sitting there, his eyes always seem to look like that when I take a picture of him, drives me crazy.

Faith

Here is an update on the boys. They are both on the road to recovery. Noah is feeling better, still lying on the couch, but in better spirits. Nate's coughing is not so bad this morning. It's so hard seeing my little guys sick. It's a beautiful day out this morning, the sky is blue and the sun is shining, I hope we can get the boys out today for some fresh air. I thank God for taking care of my boys. I know we will have to deal with many more colds and flu in the future, maybe even broken bones (especially with my two, who seem to have "no fear"). I have learned through this experience that I have to remember not only to pray for healing, but also that the Lord would comfort them in their time of pain or illness. I know it made Noah feel better knowing that his Mommy and Daddy were praying for him. At his young age, I feel that sometimes his faith in God is stronger than mine at times. His trust in God's power is real. My heart is moved when I see Noah close his eyes tight and talk to God, asking Him to help he and his brother feel better. It's as if when he was praying, he had no doubts, he knew God was listening and would take care of them. It's amazing what an important lesson I can learn from a 3 1/2 year old. I was reminded by my son that God is faithful to those who love Him. I am so greatful that God trusted me to be Noah and Nathan's Mommy.

The Lord is my Rock

"The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold."
Psalm 18:2

He will listen

"Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you."
Jeremiah 29:12

Pray for my sickies

Please keep my little sickies in your prayers. Noah is down with the stomach flu, and Nate has a cold and a bad cough. Poor little guys.

Silly me!

Thought I would share something that I thought was kind of funny. I woke up this morning and met my walking buddie, we walked a mile or so. Then I decided to go for a morning run. While I was running I had to keep yanking on the back of my pants because I could feel they were falling down and my underwear were showing, woo hoo! Anyway, I came into the house, said goodbye to Jared as he left for work, and got the kids breakfast. When I went to take a shower I realized that my pants had been on "back'wards". Oops! Here, I thought I was losing weight and my pants were just getting too big on me. Not so I'm afraid. Must of been extra tired this morning while getting dressed.

Fun with Cap'n Crunch

Noah was obviously very excited to be eating his Cap'n Crunch for breakfast this morning.

Now that's "crazy" Pap Pap hair

Just couldn't resist posting a pic of Nate's once again, "crazy" Pap Pap hair.

For those who love Him

"However as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him."
1Corinthians 2:9

Cracked up

Nate climbed up onto the island in our kitchen, (from a stool big brother did not put away), and was hanging off the one side of the island trying to get down. I ran in to rescue him from falling, and as I grabbed Nate to safety, Noah looked at his little brother and said, "He cracks me up."

More than cute

We were in the car, on our way to church this morning. I turned around, looked at Noah and said, "You are so cute." He smiled back and said, "I am smart too, and cool."

Peaceful fruit

For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
Hebrews 12:11

Keep out "Nate"

This is big brother Noah's medieval way of keeping little brother Nate out of the bathroom cabinet.
