Mediocrity

We need to strive to live above mediocre lives. Let's stand up and make a
promise this year to grow more in Christ, to love more, and to evangelize
more. It's not okay to say I am okay with where I am at in my walk. With
this new year let's make a promise to live more for Christ and get into a
deeper relationship with Him. Mediocrity is not okay!

Something to ponder on...

I have been reading through a book called "Experiencing the Cross" by Henry Blackabee... really awesome book by the way.

Something to think about when it comes to the seriousness of the sin we commit against God, Blackaby speaks of women's labor pains. How many women do you know after having a baby Thank God for reminding us of the serious consequences of committing sin?

Because we know that women having labor pains is a consequence of not just our sin but of Eve's sin as well. I wonder if Eve ever thought about the consequence of the future of all women when God had cursed all women because of the sin she committed.

It's something that hit me hard because I have not had children yet, and I want to remember the seriousness of the sin and Thank God when I have children. So awesome :) Let me know what you think?

Living in an Rv is so fun!!

Well refrigerator door decided to break right off the hinge. Shattered a
jelly jar, broke eggs, and dented Andrew's new briefcase in the process.
Why all of a sudden it decided to break I have no idea just another great
night living in an RV and trying to make it work. Yep yep, great great.
Hope all with you is better than it is with us at midnight.

Merry Christ- mas

It's not HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Don't let our society fool you into thinking Happy
Holidays is an ok phrase to say to people. Don't be afraid to say the name
Christ in Christmas. He is our only reason for the season, so let's not
take him out of Christmas.

I know that people can get caughtup in gifts and for me I sometimes wince
when I think of Christmas because to me that means people having even more
of a reason to be greedy. So, I still buy gifts because of the thought of
people getting angry at me.
I heard of a couple that said they weren't going to buy gifts because they
wanted to focus on God. That is a great statement and motive if you follow
through with focusing on the birth of Jesus and focusing on His will for
your lives(s). I would like to think that statement is true, but no one
will know but God. Let's not be people that say something and don't follow
through. Be a man, Be a woman and stick to your word. Don't make promises
you can't keep.
On another note, I am want to see someone else's view on this subject-
your comments:
How did you know the person you are married to now was "The one"?

How do you know the person you are with (dating) is "The one"?

Narnia 12/8 10:48pm

Just saw Narnia and loved it. The character Lucy makes the movie, I can't
wait to hear others comments.

Before all the hub bub of the movie back when I was a child Lion,Witch,
and the Wardrobe was the first book I can remember reading that I was so
caught up in and actually felt like I was in the book. Seeing the movie
brings back so many fond memories. I hope when I have children that they
will have a book like that!

You all should read the book and then see the movie, the details in the
book are amazing!! If you have seen it already let me know what you thought
about it....

GREAT news (on our knees)

Well, Thanksgiving day we got some really good news from my dad. He plans on getting married in February or March to a women he met through E-Harmony. They have been talking for about 4 months now and He flew up to Chico to finally meet her and they hit it off. They are talking about more permanent plans, as far as where to live. My dad has about 1 year left til retirement, so he figures that she will move down here temporarily until he retires and then both move backk to Chico. He hates Riverside and is ready for cleaner air, less traffic, and a lovely bride to be.

READY FOR THE REALLY GREAT NEWS??
The great news: When my dad moves to Chico, He offered Andrew & I to rent the house from him. The best part is He is going to let us rent it from him for only $400 a month. Which is such an astronomically amazing blessing for us because we can pretend we own a house but renting it. I am so amazingly excited and I cried when my dad told me because as life goes along I can see now how God has just put pieces of my life together. It is so great!!! Thank you Lord for your abundance and provisions in our life. We love you Lord.
