2 Years, 7 Months, 9 Weeks

Gram got to babysit while we celebrated our second anniversary. The food was amazing, but I couldn't eat too much of it. Bread is what sounded the best. Starting to get a little sick to my stomach...yipee. Then we went and saw the 3-D version of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. That was funny. I remember the book as a kid.

Yeah!!!


Grandpa came to visit!

What?!?



This morning I was going through some bills and budget stuff trying to figure out how things work out...especially with the future...wondering about if I should be working more or how we will take care of things in the coming year. As I got more and more anxious about this, I stopped and went to the source of my comfort. I know there are so many fears and anxieties that we all have daily that we battle, and I hope that these verses and truths will speak peace to you as it has to me.

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." -Phil 4:6-7

"You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts You." -Isaiah 26:3

"Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all of your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you." -1Pet 5:6-7

"Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be shaken." -Ps 55:22 (This whole psalm is worth reading!)

"Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ who gave Himself for our sins so that He might rescue us from this evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be the glory forevermore. Amen." -Gal 1:3-5


God knows all the things that we need. He is the Creator and sustainer of all things. Nothing is too big for Him, nor is anything too small for Him. He will provide, protect, comfort, and heal. He already has done this. I hope that these verses would comfort those who are hurting, and that you may cry out to Him who hears you...that you may lay prostrate before the Almighty Creator and sob with grateful tears that He has provided a way for us to rest, a way for us to have peace, a way for us to be with Him. Nothing can, has or ever will compare to that truth. "Oh, the depths of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgements and unfathomable His ways." Rom 11:33

The Clan


Decor

I finally got up some curtains in her room. The room darkening fabric that is behind it doesn't really do the job so I still have to put something in between to keep the room dark. Inger loves looking at the fabric though. It's cute.

Little sportster...

Go Seahawks!!!

Inger's first Mariners game. (They won!)


Over the last few months, life took a little turn. I was feeling tired, grouchy, worn out and worn down. Nothing seemed to help. I was frusterated easily and too exhauseted to do anything. I tried to go for runs to get my groove back, but even that was painful - and not in a good way. I just didn't have the energy. It was taking everything in me to get anything done. I went to the doctor because I had pulled a muscle in my neck, and she ended up doing lab work on me. Turns out I have thyroid problems. So there was a reason for all the craziness after all. I'm just now starting to get more energy and feeling better. I don't have to go through the day having to take naps and not feeling rested. It's better. And I can't thank God enough that it was diagnosed when it was. Jehovah Jireh!!!
