The last 2 months

The last three months have went by so quickly. I blinked and it was April. We have had some really fun times; having the Malloy's over for dinner, Abby and Adyson's birthday party's, Christian & Eli's b-day party, going to the Zoo with the Hieser's, going to the Zoo with the Lemme girls, going to Chicago for the weekend, us and Chanda and Allen going out for Valentine's Day dinner without the girls, Going to a Toby Mac/Skillet concert with the Hiesers, the 30 hour Hunger Strike, having Indian food and a hockey game with the Lemme's, joining a home group, doing a woman's Beth Moore Bible Study, Fear Factor February at MnM, dying Easter eggs, hanging with family, started a money saving blog & how to really coupon shop, and much much more. Abby's hair has decided to curly and it is so cute that way. Adyson has started the why phase of her life.

We did have some real trust in God moments in the last three months. We found out we were pregnant and later lost the baby. It was horrible but we had alot of peace, the kind the passes all understanding which only comes from God. We also had to get really strict with our budget. We spent time in prayer, with me crying alot about not being able to feed our children, but then coming to a conclusion. As long as we put God first everything else will fall into place. His will is not for my children to starve (i would sell everything i have b4 that happened) but to provide for us. I have to say the most important thing I have gotten from Bible study is to pray that my children will love God more than anything, then everything else will fall into place like their decisions, the one they marry, their hearts, as long as they love HIM more than anything it will be all right!
