Just Had To Post It!!!

Three in the morning
And I'm still awake
So I picked up a pen and a page
And I started writing
Just what I'd say if we were face to face,
I'd tell you just what you mean to me, I'd tell you these simple truths,
Be strong in the Lord and
Never give up hope
You're going to do great things, I already know
Gods got his hand on you so don't live life in fear
Forgive and forget
But don't forget why your here
Take your time and pray
These are the words I would say
Last time we spoke
You said you were hurting
And I felt your pain in my heart
I want to tell you that I keep on praying
Love will find you where you are, I know cause I've already been there
So please hear these simple truths
From one simple life to another
I will say, come find peace in the father
Be strong in the lord and
Never give up hope
You're going to do great things, I already know
Gods got his hand on you so
Don't live life in fear
Forgive and forget, but don't forget why your here
Take your time and pray
Thank God for each day
His love will find a way
These are the words I would say

A Sad Sad Thought

Or I am on facebook ( I know sad but true) I have Loved doing my blog, and looking back through all my posts is so much fun to see how things have changed for our not so little family. It's not official yet, but a change may be coming....... but until then check out what I have been doing HERE

A New Addition To The Family

So most of you at least know of the "small love" of Basketball that Cohen has but what you might not know is the umm.... large access we have to "Hoop Ball" as Cohen affectionately named it. So I thought I would post some pictures just to give you an idea!!

this is the hoop that started the whole thing.... Thanks Mom:)



this one above it the latest addition-- isn't she a beauty-- David thought we "needed" it because we didn't have a double hoop..... so of course this was perfect... does anyone think we have a few to many hoops?!?


The sad thing is this is just our hoops, I didn't feel like spending an hour taking pictures of our Soccer goal, baseball bats, ping pong table, kiddie pool table, our golf ball set(s), bowling, hockey, Basically this poor angel doesn't stand a chance!!

My New Book

Soo I have been wanting to purchase this book for awhile, and have kept putting it off. So finally last week I decided to go ahead and suck it up and pay the $6 on Amazon and buy "Parenting the way God Parents" and I just got it in the mail and I am soooo excited and already learning soo much so I had to share some quotes that I just loved and for any parent that is wanting a good parenting book to read I am totally recommending it -- and I am only on page 46

So Here Ya Go

Family discussions about such topics as devotion, charity, heritage, and excellence must find their way back into our living rooms. As Kingdom parents, we have to go deeper places of discussion with our children than simply their outward behavior. Jesus warns against working to make people took good on the outside while neglecting the more important heart issues like patience and faith in the face of uncertainty


Of course, no one wants to pass generational sin on to his children. But simply not wanting to is not enough. We have to take a more active role. Just as God our Father is a shield and protector to us (Psalm28:7) we must shield out children, praying against specific generational sin and looking honestly at ourselves for signs of influence.


He want us to leave the things that are familiar - the way things have always been- and to go out in faith, building a family of His design. It's easy to build a family of our own design, but God invites us to throw off what we think we know and open ourselves up to HIS vision for our families. Just as God challenged Abram to trust in His plan, He calls us to trust Him wholeheartedly with our families.


Our best hopes and dream for our children pale in comparison to those God has for them.
