James 1:2-3

James 1:2-3 ~ My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

"Count it all joy" somehow even that seems like a trial at times. Oh, how bad my heart wants to be.

As I look at my heart and life this particular verse convicts me to the core. Over the past few years I have been though more in my personal life then I care to remember. While I am so thankful in the ways that I have been able to see the Lord work in my life and the life of those around me, I still deep down think that if I knew what it would cost to get to where the Lord has stretched (hopefully read as "grown") me too..... There is NO way I would have volunteered to go though that pain of being stretched.

Good thing that God knows that, that He is willing to be the faithful one to us, even and especially when we "don't want to". As you continue to read though James 1 you can just see how much God blesses us when we turn to Him and consider it joy to be with Him in those trials. There is that saying that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Its true, especially with a christian that depends on the Lord. When you go to the Lord and are able to depend on Him for strength in your trials, there is joy in strength of the Lord in how He works in your life. Its less about you fixing it and all about Him being in control.

Which comes to the patience part.... I did a post about this not to many posts ago... God doesn't all always fix things in the way we want them to or as quickly... this gives us room to grow in the patience area.. something that I need SO badly... I am not good at waiting on anything, so this is defiantly an area that I see God working on in me. Praise God for any growth in that area!! Since there is no way that I have had any part in it.

Anyway its getting late and I probably have rambled, I am hoping to be able to get back to doing my devotionals online. Now that the pregnancy is no longer making me completely out of it... And praise God for antibiotics as well!!! As the last 4 weeks I have been suffering with a infection that had no other signs other than a headache. I feel like a new person now :D See... I have joy that that trial is over.. have to admit it was harder when my head was pounding to find anything joyful about that... though I was so blessed by the faithful care of my husband!

God is SO good always!
night night

Can I just say.....

I totally love my husband.

He brings me food :) ok sometimes its not always food ... like when hes tucked into bed for the night and I realize that I have no water... He will so selflessly get out of bed and brave the freezing temperatures downstairs (no joke the bananas in my kitchen freeze) not to mention the long trek between our bedroom the kitchen. And bring me back bottles of water!

I suppose water is food... but he will get other things for me too :)

Today in my pregnant/sick/migraine/CRAVING food state.... He is getting off work and going to burger king to buy me a Coke Icee ( the only place in town that sells them) ... then hes going the burrito place to get me the tacos and chips I cant live without. He even remembers to order it with light lettuce and extra cheese! Isn't he wonderful ...... this being said.... he has brought me my cravings at least 10 times in the past 2 weeks.

Oh and he packed up our whole family last night... when it was snowing... and took us (well more for the kids) to see the new veggie tales movie, because it was the last night it was playing in town. ..... anyone whose wondering... it was cute.. not really biblical like we normally expect from veggies but still cute... Eden and Levi were rocking out during the "rock monster" music video at the end.

Anyway thats all I had to say for this post. I love Marc.. not only for the amazing ways that he totally blesses me... but because hes the one that God gave me and I am so thankful for him!

Merry Chistmas!

You shall name Him Jesus. He will be great, and called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne. Luke 1:31-32

Sushi - My first experience (and Marcs)

OK~ Well pregnancy has been reeking havoc on my body over the last few weeks, so my normal devotions are not being typed up as much as I would like.

Note: went to the Dr yesterday and had an ultrasound.. Baby has a heartbeat! Yea!

Anyway.. while its making me completely nauseated and tired (also read as grumpy) I started craving SUSHI. Now I have never ever ever had sushi before... So I am slightly confused by my need for something I have never tasted. But I am.

Well Marc has never had it either... and I know I am limited to what I can eat... as most everyone will tell you pregnant women should not eat much fish... let alone raw fish. But my craving was still driving me nuts.. I decided to go for it.

I ventured down to the sushi place and ordered what I though sounded good.. and what Marc might like. Heres what we got... both included seaweed, rice, crab and cucumber, & avocado

The one on the left is mine with shrimp on top and the other is Marc's with tuna.

Now it was nice that we both had it for the first time together.. Its was our little adventure for the year. (yes we live thrilling lives)

I normally LOVE crab.. But I think I like it hot and on the crab then dipped in butter.. not cold and mixed with mayo.. cause this was not a good thing. But the rest of it I loved. especially the fresh ginger and soy sauce. Marc said he liked the rice........ and after a bit of prying said that he would be open to trying other kinds. I am looking forward to filling my next roll with deep fried shrimp ;D

OK I know people are reading this my counter keeps going up.. so give me some help... what is your favorite sushi? What should I try next?

Ok I am ready to tell ;)

We are expecting a new baby( as in #6)... I know GASP.. it was a surprise!
Due in the middle of July.. but if this one is like the rest.. it will be here early,
more like the end of June.

About my life...

Lots of not all that much happening.

Started schooling the kids today, so that was fun.

Took this video of Levi hes leaning how to preform.

Hope to get another study online here in a few more days!

Strength, Faith, Obedience & Gods "enoughness"

Today's post is going to be somewhat different from "the norm"

There are a half a dozens worth of people in my life going though the same thing. Weirdly enough they are not really or not at all involved with each other. They are experiencing the same issues for different reasons. (well same reason but different situations)

Issue #1 ~ Burn out, they are tired of being tired of waiting for God to fix it for them.
Issue #2 ~ God is not doing what is expected despite there "efforts"
Issue #3 ~ Obedience is stalling(not happening) due to their need to see God do "His part" before they are willing to "put out" more.

Which sums up issue #4 That they are looking at the wrong thing to give them joy. Instead of Gods words and direction and there obedience being enough, they feel as though they need more.

So here are some bible verses that God has used in my life lately to minister to my own desire to give in to the same issues.

James 4:2-3 Yet you do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.

So are we really asking/praying specifically for what it is that we would like God to do. If so are we asking for the correct reasons. Correct reasons being God's glory and the changing of heart (yours, someones) to be better equip to glorify God in life.

1 Cor. 3:7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

Nothing we can do in our own strength or wisdom is going to "fix" anything. Its only in Gods power to change things.

Ok at this point just read the book of James.. at least chapter one. But here are some highlights.

James 1:2-7 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

See what God is saying here. By doubting or thinking that God is doing it wrong(or slowly) you are SINNING. Ouch huh.. I know that one. But look at the promise. He will give us the wisdom if we ask for it.

James 1:12-18 Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.

In these verses there is so much.. but the few things that stand out the most...
1. God DOES NOT tempt anyone to sin. So Gods lack of action (or what you perceive it to be) is not an excuse for you to not obey. One step further on that same thought. Others lack of action, is not excuse for YOU to not obey.

Matthew 5:44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.

2. It talks about desire turning into sin. Alot of time the "issues" that are in our life are desires that have become sin. Our desires, no matter how good it may start off being becomes our main focus. (theres a great book on this called "the peacemaker - by ken sande" the progression of an idol starts on page 100) We know that its become our main focus(idol) when we start to question (or get mad at) God, for not doing it our way or at our speed. It should never be about what we want.

Psalm 115:1 ~ Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, But to Your name give glory, Because of Your mercy, Because of Your truth.

So practically how do we receive joy and strength from God? We OBEY the things that he tells us to do in life. We turn away from our desires and do what we are told. We apply that wisdom that he gives us, wisdom=biblical instruction. We have a perfect instruction manual, and there is joy from knowing that you are "doing it" right. With that, joy in knowing that you are obedient becomes that strength.

Nehemiah 8:10 ~Then he said to them, “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

So what are the things that we can do in daily life that will help? What do you do when it doesn't feel like obeying God is enough?

2 Corinthians 13:11 ~ Finally, brethren, farewell. Become complete. Be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.
Colossians 4:12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a bond servant of Christ, greets you, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

God is enough and doing what he says will give you peace and wholeness. He is a faithful God and WILL ALWAYS do what Hes says He will.

So obey God and you will have peace, strength and your faith will increase.

But to get there to that point. You must make an effort (deny self)

~Pray.
Pray to God to change you heart. Ask for forgiveness for the hard hearted attitude that is causing you to "doubt" God.
When you are tempted to dwell on your "issue" instead,
Pray for those that you are having issues with. Pray for their heart.. don't just pray that God will do what you want. Pray that He will work it out in His perfect way. (or yourself if its not about others)

Now be aware that you may feel like you don't mean it. But do it anyway and see that God will give you a change of heart and you will start desiring His will instead of your own.

~Read His word, the Bible. God will bless the efforts that you make to communicate with Him in this way. He will give you peace and guidance and wisdom from His words

Then put the words into practice and go from there. You will find that obeying God becomes enough and it stops being about the issues!


Praise you Lord for your faithful loving kindness! God please keep me accountable to you only and please speak to the hearts of those that I love as well as those that read this.

Fun flickr

Oh boy I found flickr and got an account... to much fun!!! I am going to add pics to the side of this soon! Feel free to explore and comment on any of them!

Trip day 4

Proverbs 3:5-6 ~Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

Today was a day of rest :) We stayed "home" at grandmas house. Lots of legos and tinker toys. Which was a really nice break from the go-go-go of the last few days.

Cana made a sweet little caterpillar out of hers.

Todays verse was especially helpful to me. I would like to get into doing my ten commandments study, but I want to give it more time that I have been able to get each day, while I am here. Trusting the Lord, is a wonderful blessing. But there is always that part of me that forgets to do that.. Everyday I have to give it all back to Him. Most days its more than once. Being here in CA reminds me just how much I long to be here. Yet I know that God will bring us back when its in His timing and not only do I have to remember this but I need to model it for the kids as well.

Aunt Lezley (my other little sister) came over to visit this evening, the older kids had already been put to bed, but Levi who has been rather stranger weary the last few weeks loved her within seconds. It was really cute!

Well that wraps up my day, I am thankful for the time that the kids and I get to spend with our family. But I miss my Marc and the kids do too.

God thank you for the nice day and for the protection of my family, please bless Marc in this time of free time that he has. And please give us peace about when you decide to sell our house and move us back here. Please help me be an example to the kids of You guiding my life. ~amen

Sunday Sept 30th

Philippians 1:9-10 -And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ

Sunday day 3 of our trip:

We went to my parents church Calvary SLO... Was fun to see a bunch of old friends. Eden was there with us... he leaned back when the picture was taken. The kids had a good time and afterward Grandma took them to play on the playground. So they can't wait to go back next week. (Mom would also want me to mention that she doesn like those glasses :) she just had her eye lens replaced)

Then afterward we went to Tom and Irma's (in-laws) So they got to see the other set of grandparents and aunts. They helped grandpa pick up acorns and got to see and play with Grandmas new kitty. It was a long and fun day... :) I even got to take a nap! They especially had a good time watching the rescuers down under with there aunt rainey. As well as playing with Aunt Jeanine and "her guy" JC. They were completely worn out.

~Thank you God for a great day and for the ability to spend all the wonderful time with our loved ones!

Quick overview

Nehemiah 9:5 - “Stand up and bless the LORD your God Forever and ever! “ Blessed be Your glorious name, Which is exalted above all blessing and praise!

Today was SO busy and here it is already tomorrow.. Started my study of the 1st commandment.. want to get into it more than I have had time for.. so hope to do that tomorrow. :D

Quick overview of today... Took the kids to the park with Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Chris. The kids rolled in the sand and ate wild blackberries... had a blast. My dad got some really great pics.. which I will have to get from him at a later time to post.. but here's one of mine.

Went to costco for gas and a polish dog... not in that order but I thought it sounded better (haha) Followed with a trip to the pet shop... the kids loved that too. Came home and got to see Lauren and John and have macky chesse for dinner.. So it was a great day for them.

Marc called and said our parakeet had passed away... Darcy was at least 8 years old.. So I think the kids will be sad to find that out.. But didn't want to bum out there great day.

Then to wrap the day up Titus lost his first tooth! It was fun for him to be able to show it off to everyone! He feels really big now.

Thank you God for the great day! Please keep Marc safe and content while we are here having so much fun! Thank you again for this blessed time!

Yea ~ We made it!

Numbers 6:24 “The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.”’

What a day~ OK it started off with pouring rain. So I packed the car and all the kids and got soaked.... but managed to start by 8:15... 2 hours and 15 minutes has to be some kind of record for getting up and getting all of us out of the house. (had the help of Marc)

So 40 minutes into the trip.... with pouring rain... and my wiper blade goes flying off the car.... and now the metal is scracthing the window...yikes!

God provided Grants Pass just 20 minutes from there (with a car parts place with a parking spot in front of a large glass window) and a really nice guy to replace them for me. Which means that I didn't have to get all 5 kids out of the car to go into the store (like a walmart) and then stand in the rain and try to figure it out. That was a blessing :D It was only a 10 minute detour.

Got some snow around the border so that was kinda fun to see... didn't stick but it was pretty. At Shasta we were under this odd cloud... "doom-ish" like you would see on a movie. It was not like I have ever seen before... dark and heavy.. but you can see the light blue sky beyond it with the white fluffy clouds.

Well things are going OK after that... until 20 minutes on the Oregon side of Sacramento..... Esther, to quote her "I woke up and puke was coming out of my mouth" Lovely.... yet another blessing from God we were 1 mile from a rest stop. I am not sure I will be able to eat fruit loops for awhile, but got her changed and did a potty break ... so that was a 30 minute sidetrack... but good for stretching the legs!

Things were going OK after that until... about 50 minutes from getting here... and Esther sounded the warning that she was about to blow again... Anyone who has driven this area.. between Avanal and the 46... its windy and narrow and under construction and there is NO where to pull off... so the conversation went something like...

me: Puke on your blanky and we will wash it when we get to grandmas...
her: but I love my blanky
me: in know... don't get in on the floor... just on your blanky... shooooooooot... Don't move I will pull over soon.

Well we got here (30 minutes short of 12 hours).. and all is well (and now washed)

note to self: need to get car sickness stuff for Esther.

God thank you for the safe trip and provisions along the way!

And we are off.....

Didn't have as much time as I needed to do a study online today... we are heading to Ca tomorrow... 700 miles, 12 hours, 5 kids and me... I am really that insane..... Don't expect to say much tomorrow.. but plan to get in to the commandments in 2 days :D Night, night!

Conversation with my 2 year old

OK hes barely 2 and didn't say more than a dozen things until the last week or so.

But the weather here has seemed to turn to fall already and so I pulled out all the winter jammies.

Eden was so very excited for his new (already used by his brother) PJ's. He starts yanking on his new shirt, while smiling and dancing around singing... Sheep, sheep, sheep. Which was really cute.... and really funny because the things on his shirt are not sheep... not even close.. they are Rhinos.

Now I taught him to say rhino... but several times throughout the day, he still was calling them sheep. Side note: to those that don't know our family as well as some. Ducks & rhinos have long been something that we have collected for the kids, so our house is full of them.


So it made me think... why sheep. Why not rhinos? What is it that makes sheep more appealing than rhinos?

Well there are the obvious things like sheep being soft, cute and cuddly... and they are certainly not aggressive like rough, hard, & sharp horned Rhinos.



It made me think... in all his wisdom of being two. He already knows what God has called us to be :D Sheep, sheep, sheep! and not rhinos :D

Philippians 4:4-8 - Being a lily

Philippians 4:4-8
Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, 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.Meditate on These Things Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

New goal: To be a lily

In Matthew 6:28 (also Luke 12) Jesus asks those he is speaking with to consider them. Look at the lilies and how they just trust that they are provided for. They are beautiful and simple they don't toil nor spin. Now I don't need a dictionary to tell me what that means. As my friend called me recently "miss chicken little" .... I am a worrier... While I would like to blame it on one of my relatives... I cant.. it might be in my blood, but its my sinfulness that keeps yanking me back to it. The thing is why ? Does it feel good to worry?... no... Does it make things more clear to me to dwell on it? ...no... Does it give me the answers and the peace I am looking for? ... no..

So why do I do it? I have no idea? But I want to be a lily. I need to RUN from my anxiety and RUN to God. Instead of dwelling on it, The plan is to talk to God. Pray and call out to Him... it pops in my head.. then I pray. I need to make sure my focus stays on the right thing from now on.

Thank you God that I can run to you all the time, thank you that you never tire of me.

OK new attempt to Blog on a somewhat regular basis

Well I have my business blog which I neglect even more than my house work.
I have a My Space blog that I have made the occasional comment on ... I think complaint would be a better way to put it.

So as of today new resolution, restart this blog with the sole intention that I try to get a verse of the day on here. I need to make sure that I keep Gods word in front of me every day. The way thats going to happen is by commiting to it. So here goes. The blabberings of forgiven sinner.

Updates since my first post...Mommy of 5 now.... praying for "that time of the month" to hurry up and get here so I can know that I am not soon to be a mommy of 6.
