Ayles I just wanted to say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE your new siggy pics
That's awesome - Praise God!praise God!
I had a good text conversation with my MIL yesterday too. She apologized for not being at Adriel's 1st birthday and said "what kind of granny am I?" I just walked in love and told her we'd love to see her when she gets back from her trip.
So we broke it to my in-laws that we are planning a homebirth with this baby. My FIL thought it was great. He's an easy going guy anyway. My MIL, who is in the medical field, actually took it better then I thought she would. She had all the usual questions, ie what if an emergency? what about pain management? isn't it messy? But the question that really hit me was the when she just asked flat out. Why not another C? I mean isn't it more convenient and easier for you?.
I finished with reminding my MIL that whether it's a hosptial birth or a homebirth the LORD is the one in control anyway. She just nodded and moved on to the next subject.
Ok, have to give a couple praise reports...
First, I am officially an interpreter for my church! Everything is approved!
Second, DH called today and said he got a Christmas bonus check for $250! He has only been working there 6 months, so we weren't expecting anything! This will help with bills, and give us a little more for Christmas. Now we can give each other a small gift, see Narnia on Christmas day, and have a yummy dinner! (which is going to be totally stress free... just a bunch of our favorite food, whatever we want)
Yay!
Today has been one of those super awesome, spirit filled, my cup runneth over kind of days.
Pregnancy hormones coupled with a fresh realization of what God is/has done for humanity plus Christmas carols have been sending me over the edge into tears.I nearly sobbed all through O Holy Night this morning. Then spur of the moment after church, we decided to go to lunch with some friends and we were in Fazoli's for an hour and a half.
Tonight was also our Christmas fellowship at church (a few carols and then desserts) and my heart is just so full. I love fellowship.
Then, after praying with dd before bed, I say "amen" and she says "yeah."
So, it was just an awesome day of tears and laughter and joy.
How was everyone else's Sunday?
So true!
You are always welcome to post in here. How'd it work out?
BTW........I am a fan of John MacAuthor (Grace to you in CA)..Like a lot of what he says. Anyhow his topic right now is Marriage, Divorce and Singleness..I know this topic seems to come up a lot in our room. He'll probably do multiple parts but here's the first one for anyone interested!

Dee Dee, Mom to 2 handsome young men & 2 beautiful girls!
Guys I am sooooo frustrated right now! I just don't know what to do anymore. Sadly enough there are more bad days than good days in my marriage anymore and I just don't know what to do. I can't even list all my problems in here because I am just overwhelmed right now! I didn't post this with it's own title or in ranting because I wanted to keep this between my Christian sister

I do want to tell you that your friends IRL just might not be being honest w/you. One of my favorite anecdotes that Joyce Meyer shares on her program is years ago her and her dh would be arguing on the way to church and when they got there people would say "And how are the Myerses?" To which both her and her dh would reply with a huge smile on their faces, "fine!" And then they would proceed to argue on their way out of church. So while it is unfortunate a lot of people put on masks and act like everything is honkie dorie when it isn't. I also wanted to add that I recommend praying and asking the Holy Spirit where to give you guidance into areas in your life that you can change/make better for your marriage. I def. struggle w/this myself, but I have found that when I pray to God to change me - to make myself more accepting of my dh for instance - that my attitude changes and that things just go better versus when I say change Him Lord, he doesn't do xy and z. I always seem to then hear Pat Robertson's voice
ARG...So frustrating insurances is isn't it!!!!!! The Lord has ways of teaching us patience, hope, understanding, love in the most obscure ways. Just take a deep breath before you get on the phone, say a quick prayer, then call. Keep us posted. We will pray for a good outcome for you. BTW you are always welcome to post here.

Me too. DO you attend his church??? I know you live in CA. Just wondering. We love his preaching. Can't say much for the rest of the ministry but most of his preaching we have heard is right on. The topic regarding a Christians duty with government he did a while back close to the elections was AWESOME. It was a reminder that true change starts with the individual heart. And thought getting involved is ok, we have to be careful not to make political causes "our God". KWIM.

Just a thought and i have to run to work out........
I was overcome with emotion this morning on something. Even though I will probably never meet some of you ladies in person. We will meet in heaven one day. Just think about it. We'll spend eternity together and I'll get to meet you ladies. And we can worship the Lord together. IT's a really cool thought. How many Christians you probably meet over time briefly or how many tracks you hand out that you'll never know the person until you meet them in heaven. Sobering though and brings tears to my eyes. Love you ladies.

awww that is beautiful!!!
also thaks for your kind words of wisdom.. i do find myself being more patient and just taking a deep breath and going from there. I thank God for getting me through that call even though things aren't resolved because I know that in His time they will get resolved not in my time and I accept that and Thank Him for it. I have Faith that things will turn out better than I can imagine if I leave it to Him. I still haven't gotten things figured out on the kids insurance yet but I am asking God to help me through this. I am putting it in his hands and trying to take things calmly. So you are totally right.
@ twinmom34 lots of prayers for you momma!!

Brenda You look great! Love the snow picture!
Sometimes I wish we lived in a place with more 'seasons' we are kinda either in Fall or Spring year round here. Nothing major temp wise. Really nice on one hand, but I sometimes kinda wish for hot summers and snowy winters!
We had a great Christmas the 4 of us, and we survived the bigger Christmas times with both sides of the family. Im exhausted and trying to figure out where to put all the stuff! Im blessed, but sometimes I wish my parents would keep things a bit more simple with gifts!

Brenda - You look fantastic! I love the picture of you looking out the window with your DS right next to you.

I'm really frustrated with my mom right now.
She has dated a number (7 or 8?) of men since my parents' divorce (7 years ago). I personally have met 3 of them, one of them this past summer. But the guy she's dating now is different than the one from the summer.
Anyhoo, my younger sister went out east to visit the family for Christmas. Yesterday was supposed to be one of mom's days. Well, mom's boyfriend emailed mom asking if he could come over. My sis wasn't comfy with that (I wouldn't have been either) and said so. Mom texted him and he said he was already on his way over. My sis was upset and called me, asking what she should do. I said she needed to talk to mom and say something like, "Ok, I'll meet him, but if he's planning on staying, I'm going back to Dad's. I'm just not ready to meet this person yet." And my mom says to her, "Well, why don't you just go back to dad's before he gets here then." (Sort of with the attitude like, "Don't let the door hit you on the way out.")
Anyway, thanks for listening/reading. I had to get that out.
