Well, more were lost today...

Here’s a before picture…
Isn’t she the cutest thing you’ve ever seen?!?    I bet she is unless you have one at home!!!  LOL!!  She’s an !!  Hahaha!!  Not really but we sure do love her!!! 

Oh, I almost forgot, here’s the after picture….
Yep, she’s only 5 and has lost 2 teeth.   Well, she had a little help…her dentist.  About 3 years ago, she fell and hit her mouth (right below her nose actually) and it messed up the root of one of her front teeth.  That tooth (you can see it in the first picture) has turned a little dark over the years.  Well, I noticed on Saturday that her permanant tooth was nearly coming in…up above her gum line.    So, I called the dentist and got an appointment.  She said it needed to come out, along with the one beside it.    So, my "baby" girl has lost 2 teeth now.  I may be a little  about it but my daughter is very !!!  The tooth fairy came too…
Blessings!!!

Momys Zoo Gathering

Our family met with other Momys’ families at the zoo today!!  We had such a great time.    We just all love the fellowship.  There is nothing like being around other like-minded people.  You know, other people with large families!!!   It’s like we can just "let our hair down" and be ourselves.  All my children had others their age to play with and enjoy.  Lanie got to enjoy time spent with other girls,   and she really loved that.  Houston had some one-on-one time with a boy that is a little older than he is.  He really enjoyed that too.  I got to hold some babies!!!  You know I loved that and Scott held one of the little babies too.  He enjoyed that!!   He loves babies as much as I do!!!   Hmmmm…..   LOL!!!   All the kids loved the zoo.  We got a family membership so hopefully the Momys will be able to meet there once a month, even during the winter.  We had 5 Momys families there, with about 25 or so people.  What a blessing!!  Thanks Momys for coming and fellowshipping with us!!  Here’s Christian enjoying the zoo….

May the Lord bless and hold each of you today and in the future!!!

I did it...no, GOD did it!!!

First and foremost, God has been working on me. Showing me what I should be…  

In my Sunday School study this week, He is again showing me that I am His, body and soul, inside and outside!!!  Just listen to this…

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship.  Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.                Romans 12:1-2  (NIV)

Wow!!!  As I have said in past bloggings, I dedicate myself to Him each morning, praying that my actions, thoughts, and feelings will glorify Him.  I am realizing more and more that as I am "transformed by the renewing" of my mind, that I can "see" His will so much more clearly.  PTL!!!  I can hear the Holy Spirit speaking to me on so many different things; sometimes I am being chastised, other times I am being uplifted by my choices.  But, always, I feel His guidance and involvement in my life, minute by minute. 

As I grow daily in Him, I enjoy listening for His guidance.  I have been getting an email update each morning on the 40 Days for Life campaign that has been going on here in the US.  It is basically prayer vigils outside of abortion clinics around the US, not protests in the extreme sense of the word but peaceful and dedicated praying for all the unborn babies.  My husband and I are very concerned and saddened by all the abortions going on around the world.  😭 This is one of the utmost issues for us in the upcoming election, regarding who will be placed on the Supreme Court in the next 4 years.  

I told my husband one evening last week as we were driving home from church that if there was a clinic near us that did abortions, I would go and be a part of the prayer vigil. Well, the Holy Spirit prompted me and I had the thought that there was one in Lufkin so I searched and searched online to find it, but I couldn’t. The next day, I got an email from David with 40 Days for Life and he encouraged us to read his blog.  I did and I found the Lufkin location of Planned Parenthood. They do not do surgical abortions but they give the Morning After Pill, IUD’s and birth control pills.  I contacted the lady in Lufkin that was the contact person for 40 Days for Life.  And……………on Friday, I meet with her in front of PP for a prayer vigil!!!!!!  I took Houston and Delanie with me.  We prayed, the kids sang "Jesus loves me" and we read the Bible together.  It was the most wonderful experience!!

I spoke Sunday at church during the morning service, telling others my experience.  Bro. Randy has said so often that "this isn’t the service (Sunday morning preaching), your service begins when you walk through those doors as you leave…"   He is so right.  I hope that this blog will be an encouragement to each of you to dedicate yourself to God’s will.  Get involved where He guides you!!!  We must stop being a passive Christian body, we must stand up for His will each and everyday!!!

May the Lord bless you all today as you go about doing His will!!!

Such fun at Hallow Him!

Ok, we don’t like Halloween so we don’t "do" it.  But, we did go to our church fesitval, Hallow Him.  We had such fun!!  Here’s some pictures…
Lanie is a queen, Mason is a spider and Christian is a power ranger.

Then, we have Houston as a pirate.  Scott was a pirate too but I don’t have a picture of him.


I have NO clue what I am but here’s a picture with my sister.  She’s a goof too, I guess.


Here’s another picture of our youngest in his spider costume.  He had such a good time….

We all had a good time fellowshipping with others!!  It’s so much work to do this though.  All the set up and preparation time.  But, it was fun anyway!!  We were so tired though we felt like zombies at church the next day!
Blessings!!
