stop and listen.....

So it's been hard 10 days or so, and we would be lying if we said we had the best marriage every. We do not, but we get out of the hard time fast with the help of God, and he is with us no matter what is going on with us. And I have seen us grow in the way that we fight, that in that fact that we do not as much as we did when we were first married. And I'm not saying that we do not get mad at each other and whatnot, but now we have a code word that we use if we are out and around other people that we can say and we know that it's something that we need to talk about later at a better time.

But even with all the growth that we have had, we still do not always hear what God is telling us, and I have been feeling that way lately. I know that he is there and with me all the time but just not hearing him. Without telling anyone that a friend sent us a box in the mail and we got it over this past week. And in there she had sent a book for me called "Are you talking to me?" it's By Kim Wier. And it's about taking time to listen and watch when God is talking to you. He is always working for you and giving you what you need even if you are not listening. And he use anyone.

This is day 1 of the book it's a 31 day devotional.

How did God Strengthen you today?

Today was hard. I was able to see today that Jessalla is growing up so fast and had a great hart and I'm so lucky to be her mommy. I was able to laugh and smile at the girls today why they were dancing they both are so much fun. And I'm glad that I took the time to watch them. But like I said it was a hard day, both of the girls this week have been not not listening very well, and today was a little better just not what I would like, so we are working on it still I think it's just because they miss their daddy. I just wish that I had more time in the day to get things done, but I still have a little time left. And I know that he was with me today because I was able to clam Eammah down four times right after putting her down tonight. I'm not always the best after the 2 or 3 time. But it's something I'm working on. God is getting it in my head that I need to just take my time and be clam and things workout much faster then if I'm all mad. And that goes for many, many things. And know that I have hear God tell me to stay clam, because things will not be better for me till I'm clam and with him.

And all that comes to mind with this day is trust in him.

it's been to long....

Well it's Feb and the 14th is coming up fast. And as many of you know it's the day of love, but in our house we say that it's not the day to say I love you, but to say how much I love us! And it is something that we work on to make sure the girls know that we love us as a family, husband and wife. So with that said the plan for this year is some of the same things that we have done from the time we had our first daughter. We got them hart bags, and we full them up with hart rings, pencil, and anything red, pink, white, or hart shape that I can find to put in them. We also get them a out fix/ shirt for them to wear that day. And for food I make things that are red, pink, and hart shape. Red dry in their milk, hart shape pancakes, just let your mind go to work. You can have a ton of fun with it. But all those things are things that we do the day of. What about before hand. We make a few new harts a year and hang them from the ceiling, we add some harts to the tree of love that we add to each year and it's getting big!! Got to love that. And I try to find a few new things to make with harts each year. This year we are going to make some fish! Should be fun, and maybe a flour. And each year we pull out what we have made in the past years and hang them up with our new things.

But why is it that we only do this kind of thing once a year, does God only love us once a year. No! He loves us no matter what, so why is it that we only go out of our way once a year. We have try to show our kids and our love ones that we love them and others that we love them just as God as told us to do, and love at this as a fun day with our family. We hope that you have a great day with your love ones.
