Beautiful Days...

Yes, it has been way way too long since I have had a post.  With warm weather and sunshine my heart is pulled outdoors.  I am very much the outdoor person...which is bad for the inside of my house!  I love spring when it is time to plant flowers and do all those projects that need to get done.  So much has been going on in our house with a few camping trips, work, and all the other stuff we have just been wide open!  Our is just busy and full of life all the time!  I wouldn't change it for a thing.  I feel very blessed that God has entrusted me with these four precious boys...which when thinking about it can be a little overwhelming too...but we will take it one day at a time!  We are finding it hard to believe that the school year is almost over and that we will have one in 6th grade next year...a little scary for momma!  Finding it hard to believe that the last 11 years have flown by like they have!  But, so looking forward to what God has in store for each of my little blessings.

After school the boys are often found on the trampoline with Mason doing some amazing flips...and double flips, swinging, Jack riding the motorcycle, chasing each other around the yard, or just being lazy hanging out in the screened-in porch.

Mason doing his flips!

Who's that cute little fella swinging in the big boy swing?

Easter Morning!

Losing a front tooth!

Enjoying sunsets at the lake!

What a beautiful life we have!  Loving every minute of it. 

I have started a new book thanks to a friends suggestion, call "Radical" by David Platt.  I am just digging in to it but can tell it is really going to make me think.  How excited and in depth do we get with our Lord?  How committed am I the the Lord?  Giving him a few minutes of my time each day is not what he deserves.  How much do I share my faith with others....not nearly enough!  Reading about how he was going to other countries where they thirst for knowledge in knowing their Bible. I want that hunger and thirst!  Also, if there were no pews, air conditioning, all the comforts we are used to when we go sit in service on Sunday's and Wednesdays...would I still attend to know and learn more?  Christ gave it all for me...what do I give for him?  I can answer that...NOT NEAR ENOUGH.  It will never be enough!  I hope and pray that I can share my faith more and dig in deeper and harder to everything that I pursue and in some way incorporate Christ into it.  He should be my all in everything I do.  I should ask myself before doing anything if I can glorify God in some way each and every day in everything I pursue.

Have a blessed day my friends...I will try not to stay gone so long this time!
