Giving Thanks for Our Littles.

Today's prayer for our little one/s Thankfulness.

Today my little nephew Bleier is having his first birthday party, and I am so excited, I can not wait to get there and celebrate. First birthday parties have such a special place in my heart- that's another story for another day. For today thought we are just going to be thankful for our little guys.

Dear Jesus,

Thank you for each one of our children. Each one you knew before even we did, before the world. You knew them and love them. You have entrusted us with each little life and have perfectly matched us up. We will teach them things about them, and they will teach us thing about ourselves. Thank you for each of their little lives. May you cover each child today with your loving hand, and make your presence known to them. <3 Thank you for the special place you have for children, your special love for them. We ask these things in your name- Amen

The adorable baby B. Fast asleep and only a few days old. <3 what a wonderful little guy to celebrate.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION!

Hello! I am not sure where to start, but my heart has really been praying about my blog lately and my thoughts and feelings on trying to revive it. I decided, its going to happen, and I am going to go back to where my heart was with this years ago...on praying for my (our) children. I see this school year opening and my heart wants to just pray pray pray for my children as they enter the world. A new school year started today and I have the privilege of working at the same school where my oldest daughter Arcadia attends. Our relationship has grown tremendously since she and I have been together. I get to see first hand the struggles of a high school student. What an incredibly scary place to be, but then again, each age presents its own scary situations. If you know me, you know that I have 4 children. Arcadia is 16 and a junior in high school, Eireland is in 8th grade, Tristan is in 5th grade and Phoenix is in 2nd grade. I am trying to raise world changers and what better place...

Holiday Deliciousness!

One thing that I love for the holidays and have started as a tradition for my own family is homemade cinnamon rolls from scratch. Now, don't get me wrong, they take a LONG time, and I am not getting up at 3:00 am just so we can have cinnamon rolls. So, I searched the internet for some amazing overnight cinnamon rolls, and I came up with 3 recipes that I combined to make my own holiday morning cinnamon rolls. The rolls themselves come from the William's Sanoma Overnight Cinnamon Rolls recipe. Ingredients: For the dough: 1 Tbs. (1 package) active dry yeast 1/2 cup warm water (105°F) 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed 4 eggs 1/4 cup granulated sugar 2 tsp. kosher salt 8 Tbs. (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature 8 Tbs. (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted 1/2 cup granulated sugar mixed with 1 Tbs. ground cinnamon Directions: To make the dough, in the bowl of a stand ...

A Time for Everything

I do not like change. Simple as that. I do not like change that is for the better, I do not like change that is for the worse. I just do not like change. It literally hurts my heart. The reason my favorite book is Little Women is because I can identify with Jo and her desire to have everything stay the same. EVERYTHING. I wrestle with changes in my life much like in the life of Jo. Unfortunately for me life doesn't stand still and changes occur on the daily. Recently my sister challenged me to a Bible verse challenge on Facebook. She has the best intentions and when she asked me why I hadn't posted any Bible verses my answer was appalling and party true. My answer, "I don't like the Bible." Hear me out before you close this blog and judge me relentlessly. I said it was only partly true. The truth is this. I feel lost, mostly because I am experiencing a lot of change in my life, things I have no control over. Arcadia's best friend moved away, we chose a...
