Manic Monday: My Life and Such

Just as I was writing this, Jonathan called and said he had been in an accident. No damage to the car, but there were 2 other vehicles involved. He left the scene and said he would return after he went to work and retrieved his cell phone. He said he was okay, but I was a bit freaked out.

Meanwhile, Emma and Maggie are trying to compete for my attention. I am sometimes glad that I did not have 2 girls when these two get together. There is so much jealousy and acting out that goes on with them, that doesn't happen as much with a boy and a girl. I can only imagine what it must have been like for my parents with my sister and I. At least we started out together, whereas Emma and Maggie are still learning how to be together. It's fun!!

Anyway two days of getting up early and doing devos. I am feeling refreshed, although slightly tired, and renewed. God is good.

What did you get in trouble for the most when you were a kid?
Umm, I am not sure. Probably not going to sleep when I should have. I was never a good sleeper when I was a kid.

Which is your wish that is not yet fulfilled?
Ummm... going back to Paris. I have and continue to want to do this at some point, hopefully with my hubby. It would be a wonderful place to go together!! Some day...

If you have to choose a movie title for your life story, what would that be?
"As the diaper turns" (at least that is how I feel right now); Perhaps "The Princess of the Most High"; Or "A life filled with Grace"...Something along those lines.

No "Resolutions" Just Things I Will Do!!

Here they are in random order:

1) Call my doctor to get a check-up, flu shots and talk about my unbearable emotional self at that time of the month. It is getting ridiculous and it has always been a problem. It is time to seek professional help, for me and for my family. I cannot go on this way.

2) Call my dentist.

3) Write more, read more and spend less time here. If I am not blogging as much, then it is a good thing.

4) Spend time with God, even if I have to get up at 6 every morning. It will be worth it!!

Those are the most important things I have on my mind right now. Whatever else happens, well that will be gravy.

Merry Christmas!!

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas. May you be filled with God's joy and peace this year.

It has been a wonderful time for us here. The presents were opened. The kids were so surprised and joyful with their gifts. The sermon was excellent last night. It has been a wonderful time for us here. I hope it has been the same where ever you are.

Most importantly, we have been so blessed to be able to spend time with our kids talking about Jesus. That is the most important thing to me. I hope that you have taken some time to remember the real reason why we celebrate Christmas.

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

"Glory to God in the highest,

and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."

When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about."

So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

Luke 2:13-20

Out of the Mouths of Babes

Aidan's exclamation during Family Night last night: "Mommy, I do believe in God!" God be praised!!
