Playing "catch up"

It seems like forever since I have posted anything here. Maybe because Chris is home and I know that he can see Ezekiel in person and not rely on pictures to stay up on things. Now he is going back to South Carolina tomorrow and his stay seemed so short to us all.

This last month has been full as far as the Lord teaching me things . . . taking me through things . . . working on me. My thoughts are still unsettled on it though and my thoughts are written down in my journal as I try to pull Scriptures together to define what I think He is having me experience. I know that I need foundational things to back it up. He is so faithful to show me those things in His Word.

Some things I know for sure - and those I can record for the whole world to see. :-) Spiritual warfare is real. The Word of God has become more precious. It is my breath. The Lord has blessed me abundantly by giving Luke to me as my husband. He is so faithful to remind me of truth. He is strong when I feel weak.

"It is good for me that I was afflicted,
that I might learn your statutes.
The law of your mouth is better to me
than thousands of gold and silver pieces."

PSALM 119:71-72

My little helper as of late. He loves the dryer and the dishwasher. I love having him around, keeping me company and making me smile.

Grandma put a curl on the top of his head one morning when I was giving Jacob a piano lesson. It was then that I knew for sure that a hair cut needed to happen. I never have understood a mother's resistance to cutting her boy's hair the first time. It's just not my taste, I guess. I have no desire whatsoever for my boy to look like a girl . . . or a sissy boy! ;-)

So we trimmed the back and the sides. He was quite interested in the clippers and it took Luke holding his head while I tried to trim . . .

Jacob's birthday cake . . . just a landscape for him to place his toy indians and horses on. I didn't get a photo of the finished product but it turned out kind of neat.
