Life is Funny...

But it's good.
  The last month has been a weird blur.  My niece came to help and live here for the summer and brought with her some sort of amazing head virus.  So we did that virus and got it done.
    Before that we went to Indiana for a nephews wedding.
      Matt put a bedroom of sorts down the basement.
      Our garden got HUGE and full of weeds.
       We're almost done canning green beans this summer already.
       We have grass growing now instead of mud.  We're ready to tackle the next big eyesore outside.
        I was terribly terribly sick for two whole weeks.  But in that time my baby started rolling and swimming so I knew all was well for it.  We finally got to see my doctor on Tuesday.  She helped me figure out my dilemma.  It was an overdose of liquid iron, that nasty head virus, a b vitamin deficiency, and low hemoglobin combination.  Silly me.  The baby was just fine....God makes so the baby gets all the good stuff but I get really really low.  I'm beginning to really love Omega's and B Vitamins.  Amazing how much better I am thinking.
    Strangest things to happen this week was to find out we're to have a baby GIRL!  I'm still shaking my head in wonder.  Not sure what I'm gonna do.  Like who's gonna comb hair and  sew dresses and  buy pretty girly stuff?  I'm ten years into this boy thing now, how will I ever switch over anyhow!:)  They tell me It will all be fine.  I suppose it will.  I mean what girl won't love playing with tractors and mud and frogs and balls and bats?  Because there is not much around here for pink...a doll or two for the guests but nothing play housey.  We should be fine with the drama stuff.  Mathias kind of has that down pat.  It really can't get much more up and down around here than his ups and downs can it???!!!! :)
     And the most fun thing to happen!  This morning I got a text from my very own mother mine and she says they are on their way rejoicing!  They talked about coming a long time ago but it didn't seem to be working out.  And so now I guess it all of a sudden is working out after all.  And they are on the road as we speak.  So pray they arrive safely and hopefully we get to see them by tomorrow night!  I am excited. I can't remember when they were here last.  4 years?  Anyhow, we're gonna soak it up.
      So my life is either up or down.   I'm gonna enjoy the ride while I feel good.  It is amazing to feel good.

How wonderful that you get to look forward to your parent's visit - yes you just soak it up! And how you make me chuckle about the girl thing.....yes I can see you shaking your head. I think God has a lovely sense of humour! :-) Can't wait to talk about our girls, as well as the boys! :-)
(PS So glad to hear you feel better!)

I drank coffee with your sister today. :) And I heard that your parents are on their way to Nebraska. Congratulations on Baby Girl. I think that's just wonderful. You'll do the pink and the dolls just FINE. Blessings. ~Luci~

"Life is either up or down." I love that statement. Come to think of it, anything between would be boring!

In My Worship Place

Last time I posted I mentioned being in a quiet spot.      It's curious to me how one can be in a quiet spot internally but super busy externally and then be in a quiet season externally but Internally be in a season of seeking and crying and lonely.      Zerrick and Susanna's reception in our yard is over and my many siblings showing up for us was a cherry on top.   It felt like a relaxed good reception and I spent most of it watching people and listening in on little groups of chatter.      And then the twelve hours with my siblings on Saturday.  God worked it out so I could have tiny little snitches of chat that I could be assured that I got the most of the gift of them even being here.        We all stood around and prayed and cried and sobbed together for a short time before Bruce's left.  Healing.  I still feel emotional about it.  And now it's qu...

A few things...

Okay, I have a whole pile of pictures I'm going to post one of these days. In the mean time....a few more questions to add to my last post.... 1. What do people mean when they say things like, " He/she spoke peace/ blessing/ love/truth or whatever into my heart? How does one get truth spoke into ones heart by another person? Okay, now I expect to hear someone defend themselves for saying this or else clarify to me why it sounds so off the wall......no reading this w/out some input! 2. What else? I was asking about what does it mean to have deeper relationship w/ God. So everyone said ya that's a good thing to desire. Here's my thought. You either have a relationship w/ God or you don't. So then who decides if it's a deeper relationship than....see how can you know? Can you compare? That won't work because God doesn't work like that....putting us on brackets of who is most spiritual. The only way you can use the term in having a deeper relationship w/ Go...

Happy Birthday Keagan

Keagan turned three while we were in Idaho. So we made a cake and celebrated with the Skrivseth cousins this year. He was enthralled watching me make the cake. Had to have his little hand on that hat! gazing in adoration at it. Just about ready to blow those candles. He kept telling me that we couldn't sing Happy Birthday though. He's easily embarrassed! Silly guy! I rather like my little three year.
