This has been a good week!
Katie and Kenny got engaged, and that’s pretty sweet.
Nobody in our family is sick anymore! Asher got some shots on Wed and is still recovering from that, but otherwise, we are faring well.
Bekah and Ben just heard their baby’s heartbeat for the first time, and my heart is so joyful for them!
On a personal note, my heart was really encouraged today. Sooz brought me a copy of the Above Rubies magazine. (www.aboverubies.org). It is such an encouraging thing to read about other mothers, how they put the Lord in the center of their lives. They give tips on how to function as stay at home moms while still keeping an active prayer life, which is something I admit to struggling with on a daily basis. The writers talk alot about the ‘natural’ style of mothering, which I am finding more and more appealing as I read and experience motherhood. I am becoming more attracted to the idea of organic food, natural childbirth, and even adopting! And not just because of the magazine, although it is surely contributing. It seems as though every person that writes in the magazine has at least 5 children, and many have more than 9! Yowzah! Their quivers are quite full, I’d say. Lord, bless’ em.
