Bible Journaling

I am really enjoying Bible Journaling.

Patience is a virtue. A virtue that this vulnerable mommy, wife, friend, daughter, sister very often lacks! So, when you start to journal and study the gifts of the Spirit and you are in deep thought about “love being patient”…what happens? You are interrupted by life (in my case, this morning, my children). I learned long ago not to pray for patience because he will give you something to be patient about…So, why not be clever and just study patience? Yet still, the interruption came…and I quickly snapped! How dare them interrupt my time in the Word! My guilt surfaced and then reached deep into my core…the very virtue which I was studying- Oh, how I failed! So, I apologized, gave the girls a short Bible lesson and a lesson into imperfection…Then, I cooked them Keto Pancakes, which they couldn’t get enough of… By the power of the Holy Spirit, I am abound by hope and…I will begin again to PRAY for patience (not just study it). I recognize my imperfection, but in this area, I will overcome! Happy humpday!

Happy Early Birthday KBug

We celebrated  Kbug’s B-day a week early because Lance and I are taking the girls for what we are hoping to be an epic adventure during his birthday week.  One of the many joys of homeschooling… adventure!  And vacations while the rest of the world is in school.11224887_10205210284800575_7140955420047829173_o

Halloween and Super Heroes

My kids enjoy watching superhero films… so this Halloween we have Bat’wo’man, Cat woman, and the joker (complete with green hair and all).  We modified Roo’s mask, and created the other two costumes.

This guy…

This guy was 19.4lbs (19%) and 28.25in long (34%). So, he is getting taller…Roo was 37lbs (30%), 42.5 in(51%) – wow- she is tall! So, now I have compared my children to the “norm”… so glad they are all their unique selves and growing at their own pace academically, socially, emotionally, spiritually, and physically.bug

How time flies…

It is hard to believe that 5 years ago today was our Riley’s due date. This was back when we had the gym, and we were hosting a charity competition for CrossFit athletes across Louisiana. Lance not only coached that day, he competed with a double ear infection. being that CrossFit was pretty new to Louisiana, we only had around 30 athletes from across the state, but they raised over $8000 as a whole. If you watch the video, You will see my baby bump…haha….Riley arrived two days later. The following year, we held this same competition with over 200 athletes from across the state and raised over $72000 for charities! These events were among my favorite part of owning the gym, and boy that was a lot of growth in one year. Some people say we were crazy for selling when we did, but we sacrificed much in those years of gym ownership….and gained much….and when we sold…yes, it was a sacrifice, but we gained more time as a family…and that makes it all worth while. Here is the video from Fight Gone Bad V! I can’t believe my baby girl will be 5 on Sunday!

Purpose… Priorities

“Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.”-Helen Keller.

“The key is not to prioritize what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.” -Stephen Covey

Power of Prayer

no broken writstJust over 2 weeks ago, my baby girl fell, and as a result, she was left with a buckle fractured wrist and a splint to be worn for 4 weeks. That weekend, she, without any prompting, wrote a prayer card at Church that read, “Dear God, Please heal my wrist.” We went to the Ortho Dr. today, and I can report that her wrist is healed. The Dr said if she does any strenuous activity for the next two weeks to wear the splint just in case she falls… But that is more of a precaution than anything else. Perhaps her early healing was the splint…or the vitamins and omega 3s that we pumped her with… BUT perhaps, my baby girl has an even deeper testimony. Proper nutrition and medical advice are great, but don’t underestimate the power of prayer!
