Needing Jesus

I have to share something. Lately I have been battling with depression. I have been so down about life in general. We have been without a house of our own for 7 months, my husband has been working non-stop, Cassidy has been sick, and Rylee is reaching the typical getting into everything stage. Needless to say I was missing my husband and stressed.

I was on my way to the barn yesterday afternoon after dropping my husband off at work (on a sunday!). I heard a song on the radio that I just absolutely love. I don't know if the spelling is right but it is Ya-Way. I know that's not the right spelling but that is the way you say it. Anyway, during the song it is like God told me..."Who are you needing and who is able to be there when you need them?" I thought for the last two months it was my husband. The kids haven't seen him much and neither have I. It was Jesus that I was needing, not my husband. Travis is doing his job, taking care of the family and working. I was lonely, but wouldn't have been lonely if I would have just looked to our heavenly father, who loves us very much and would NEVER leave us. He has been there the whole time wanting me to pay him attention. Wanting me to aknowledge him. Needless to say I felt better by the end of the song. I am not upset anymore. Not as lonely eventhough I miss my husband. I have the best company in the whole world here with me and he will never leave my side. (Big Smile)

Pizza Time!

Today Rylee and Travis made a pizza! Rylee's first homemade pizza. She helped with the kneading, rolling, and putting the toppings on. She was so great and so excited. I didn't get a picture of the finished product, it got eatin to quickly. I was pretty good. We are going to make a good chef of our young Rylee. Cassidy was just watching for the most part. She tried to get in on it but was in the way more than anything. So I just played with her a took some cute pics. Aren't they just too cute?!?!

Later!

Waiting Game

Anyone like the waiting game? I know I don't. My family and I are currently looking for a house. It seems we find one and then someone comes up and buys it before we have the chance to make an offer. We saw one house that I just fell in love with. Four acres and a cute little countried up manf. home right smack dab in the middle of the land. Love at first sight. God had other plans. Someone came and bought the house. I was so upset and discouraged. I kept hearing and saying God has something better, God has something better. I said it but wasn't sure if I believed it...until I saw it. My husband and I, just last night, looked at an actual house (not a manf. home) in the middle of 10! acres!!! And it is cheaper than the four acre place I fell in love with! To my surprise, I like this place much better. The house is smaller but has a ton of potential. Now I am playing the waiting game, again. We now have to see if the VA will approve it. There are some things that need work...but oh is the potential there. If this doesn't work out I KNOW God has something better for me, and he may have shown this house to me just to tell me he can do anything and he really does have something better. Until next time.

"Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass."
Ps. 37:7


"I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord."
Ps. 40:1

God didn't give me what I wanted, when I wanted it. Though I thought I needed it and thought it would be perfect for us. God has shown me he knows what is best and will give me THE best for us, in his timing. I just have to wait patiently. :)

Hugs and Kisses,

Move to Georgia

The move to Ga was long and tiring with a two year old and infant, but it was so much fun at the same time. We saw alot of wonderful, beautiful sights. God makes such magnificent things. We saw WILD HORSES in Arizona. So awesome! There was also snow in the desert. Just started outta nowhere. My girls were just angles on the trip. They were so patient. Cassidy mainly slept of course. Rylee liked seeing all the different areas. Especially when she got out to play. :) We ran into a huge storm the last two days. Raining so hard you could hardly see. Then we got stuck trying to turn around in a field (my fault). Had to get someone to pull us out. But God got us through safely.
