Morning Surprises!

This morning I was quickly reminded of how full our life truly is. For starters, Keagan woke up this morning to Kelden climbing into his bed for an early morning 'snuggle time'. Needless to say, Kelden has learned how to safely & gracefully climb out of his crib. It looks like a 'big boy' bed is in our near future. Next, we learned that while we all slept, "mittens" figured out how to get out of her cage. Just when I thought we were through with the morning surprises, I walked in the door after taking the kids to school only to find "mittens" greeting me from the kitchen table. That mischievous kitten figured out how to use the cat door! "What's next Lord?"

I have had all intentions of updating my blog since the holidays, but life has just gotten in the way. It seems like this time of year, the time just flies by. Hours turn into days and days become weeks before I can blink. I am reminder of the verse in the bible,

"Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough troubles of its own." Matthew 6:33,34

So what do I do with this. Well, when my days do not go as planned and the 'to do list' just keeps growing, I read on...

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6,7

I have A LOT to be thankful for! Everyone is healthy, happy and growing in the Lord day by day. We have a wonderful home and an abundance of healthy food to eat. Bills are paid and the Lord continues to provide us with just the right amount of resources every month. We are thankful for the overtime every time it is offered. Thank you Lord for your provisions!

The holiday posts are coming soon. Stay tuned...
