Stuff Christians Like

Ok here is some funny stuff. (Well, at least I think so!) It had me laughing and crying out loud. I am sure that some of it will offend some of you. But..... I love you anyway!

PS- Warning it is kind of addictive.

Morn Birfday Pwease!

Everyone should have this reaction when they have a birthday! These two were so excited. They woke up the next morning and begged to do it again. "Mommy, morn birfday party!" "Again pwease!"




PS. HA! Spell checker loved this blog!

#3 -for 2- little 1s

Today is birthday 3 for Little Bear and Miss P. We spent our rainy morning as first time visitors to a local church and then did lunch in "Psycho Land" (aka: Chucky Cheese). But I must say... we had a blast. And sadly I must admit that Chucky serves my FAVORITE pizza AND it is the only place in town (that I know of) that has Mellow Yellow.
When you put it all together:
1. Great Pizza
2. Favorite Drink
3. Kids are entertained for hours
4. Mom and Dad get one on one conversation

AGAINST
1. Psycho, caffeinated, hyper active, children who are never let out of their home except for today to come to Chucky Cheese so they run around like people on crack.


I think it balances pretty well!

I started to post of blog about how time flies, wow I can't believe they are this big, I miss my little babies, and so forth and so on..... BUT (even though those things are true) We all already know it. We know that life passes too quickly and that our children grow up to fast. So I just want to focus on the gift of today and the time that I have with the ones that I love.

Happy Birthday my 2 littlest 1s. I love you!

A great Wife!

In this little world of ours I would define a great wife as one who:
-Takes care of her family.
-Cooks great
-Cleans what is needed
-Laundry
-Home schools patiently
-Shops for groceries with all 4 kids and doesn't kill anyone
-Stay up-to-date on her Beth Moore bible study
-Learns from Dr. Oz (on Oprah) how to take care herself and manage her health and weight
-Plays with the kiddos
-Listens well
(I am sure I could keep going ;-)

I wish I could say that these were characteristics that I had. In fact most of these are only things that I can HOPE to be. But there is someone who lives in my house that accomplishes these things. MY HUBBY. He is the best wife I could ask for.

I decided that this needed a BLOG only after he sat down to read a Beth Moore Daily devotion and then followed that by telling me about Dr. OZ and his life changing health tips. I couldn't even let him finish his sentence before I busted out laughing.

Tomorrow he has a nail appointment and he is going to get a waxing. (giggle giggle!)
All kidding aside..... I have the best hubby/wife ever.

I love you baby!

Ministry

I did an interview with a lady yesterday and one of the questions that I am suppose to ask is,"How would you define ministry?"
(Working at Lifeway is very different than the outside world. Starting with interview questions.)
Anyway, when I was asked this question in my interview, my answer was something like, "Ministry is meeting people where they are and helping them towards Christ." My interview yesterday answered with,"Helping people."
But all of this leads me to ask "How would YOU define ministry?"
Is ministry defined by the walls of a church? If not, then how do you find "your" ministry?

This new path that God has set us on, is redefining our ministry. God has given us a different view point in which He wants us to see the world. I am not sure of His plan but I am sure of His purpose. God is always growing us and drawing us nearer.
