Well, I have a myspace, so on occasion, I post on there. But I wanted to start something for my little blessings! I keep a small journal for them, but don't always get to it. I thought maybe starting a blog would help me keep my thoughts down for them.
When I was growing up ( I am sure every kid will hear that once or twice in their lifetime) paper and pen was all there was. Maybe a typewriter could capture thought... but my kiddos? No, they get a blog! (whatever that even stands for!)
So here is the start!
It is August (oh man, I don't even know!!!) Oh yeah, August 10th, 2006. I used to work outside the home and I had to write the date everyday at least once. Now... I am lucky if I know what day of the week it is! But anyway, I am 27 years old. I have Zechariah, who is 16 months, and the most amazing child I have ever seen! He has such total extremes to his personality! He can be so sweet, and calm, yet throw the meanest, nastiest, wildest fits of any kid I have ever seen! He copes well to change, and is quick to learn (just as I learn) how to deal with those outbursts. It is completely amazing! His intensity will someday turn into the most wonderful personality trait he has!
He kisses on me, and loves me, is excited to see me, but if things seem to go wrong at the wrong moment, he can hit me! How is that? I will never understand, but we are working through it! And praise God, the loving comes WAY more often than the hittings! And nothing ever changes about the way we love each other! Its amazing! So to sum him up in one word... I guess by what I've just said... AMAZING! The experience, the learning, the challenges, the rewards!!! AMAZING! Just when you least expect it, he amazes you more! He has brought me into motherhood, which should I sound redundant? IS AMAZING! So that is his adjective for now!
I am also 6 months pregnant with my daughter. She will bring more experiences, more learning, and more challenges... but most definately more rewards to our group! She seems much calmer than Zech did... which I am praying is part of her personality! I am so completely excited about her arrival. She should be here sometime around November 17th... We get to plan it, but haven't made it definate yet! She already has her daddy worried! He talks to Zech about protecting her and treating her with respect and dignity! He tells me that I need to be sure to get the longer skirts at the store even for the 0-3 month size. I tell him it doesn't matter, he says "It sets a precedent!" So we foresee a pretty protective DAddy!!! But, man! I can't wait!
I am a stay at home mom. Something I have always dreamed about, and although we don't have everything we think we "want" materialistically, we have a bright young man that is learning in our home by his mommy and daddy! So I can't ask for much more. God has definately blessed us by allowing us to do this for our family!
I am a wife. Have been for almost 6 years. It is so wonderful! Without Dave, I don't know where I'd be! He has faithfully lead our family into God's will, and I have no doubt he always will! It is a wonderful thing to share life's "life" with your best friend!
We are youth pastors. It is quite the challenge, but we are a family called by God! And there is nothing more honorable than that! I love being in ministry, and I can't wait to see whats around the bend for us!
So, here's the first blog... Kiddos, I love ya, and I hope MOmmy can find some time to keep this going for ya! I will share it all!!! Just for you, guys!!!
