Green beans and carrots

My little Rilyn is five months old and such a treasure.  She's eating green beans, carrots and cereal.  Not sure what we'll add to the menu next.  She is rolling over, sitting up without much help and talks up a storm.

As challenging as two girls can be, I cannot imagine my life without them.  Karsyn is an amazing big sister.  She helps with what she can - fetching things, putting things away, holding baby's hand while she cries, making baby laugh.  I am so incredibly blessed.

Outside circumstances try to steal our joy and happiness, but when I look at these girls - no matter what is happening around us, I know God is bigger than any situation Ryan and I face.

Jeremiah 29:11 says, "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'"

I am clinging to that verse.  I repeat it in my mind, heart, and aloud.  I am claiming God's promise for my family.  I don't know how things will work out - I just know they will.

Faith, like patience cannot develop unless it is tested.  We are relying on you Lord.  See us through.

I hope all of you are well and have the happiest holidays.

The Power of Words

 Prevailing Faith  > Streaming Sermons > Recently Added Streams > Faith The Word System part 1 and 2

I must say, God surely works in amazing ways.  I have visited Prevailing Faith Church twice and both times my heart is just full.  

The sermons I listed above are lengthy, but worth every second of your time.  I know my heart has changed because of the message.  

I will learn to "pause my mouth," and remember that my words have power over my life.

"There is nothing so chaotic in your life that the spoken word of God in faith cannot bring light out of the darkness and put things back in the right place."

Our little family is doing well.  Rilyn will be 5 months old on the 21st.  At her last doctor's appointment, she weighed in at a whopping 15.2 lbs!  She's rolling over, drooling, and cooing like crazy.

Karsyn is officially 3 1/2 years old.  She LOVES to remind me that she's going to be four soon.  Of course, I'm happy to watch her grow and learn, but it stings just a bit to think about how quickly she has grown.

Ryan and I are doing well.  Some of you know, Ryan has been suffering from migraines/general pain for several years now.  Thanks to God and good doctors, we see a light at the end of this tunnel.  Ryan will have surgery December 6 to help clear up a majority of the pain he feels in his sinuses.  After this surgery, we will re-evaluate the other symptoms and decide where to go from there.

Enjoy the sermons.  I pray you will find time to listen to them...I'm listening as I type...turns out, I'd rather listen than blog.  =)
