Our Cardboard Testimonies

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbk7TY_4d2U

This is the link of our church's cardboard testimonies...that is me the first one. I had my hair straightened the day before, and cut...so I don't look like myself. Sorry about the sound quality..our Worship Minister Jesse is an amazing singer, but the sound is stinky. Going up there and telling everyone was hard, but I want people to trsut God no matter what...although it is so hard at times!

Love you all and hope you are all well. An update on Kaitlyn: they came and did a test and found that she has fluid in her ears and that may be contributing to the fact that she is only crawling. So we are going to see the peditriction and then off to our ENT! Fun! Keep praying that she will try to pull up and cruise soon...at least now she is crawling...in fact she is in the cat's bowl as we speak! Gotta go!

God's promises


After a brief downpour I was driving and found this rainbow. It was perfect and beautiful, just like God's promises.

He gave Noah a rainbow to promise there would be no more flooding and there hasn't been. He has not lied. Ever.

He promises to never leave us, nor forsake us. And He hasn't. Ever.

Easter was delightful, Kaitlyn was beautiful, Andrew loved getting eggs. But there was something missing. My mom. She wasn't there to kiss on Kaitlyn, draw cute pics on the kids' cards, eat my choclate. You know why?

She was praising the Savior in person for His glorious ressurection. She is experiencing His promises. WOW! I mean think about it, my mom has seen GOD's face. I cannot believe it sometimes, in fact that was thrown in my face this season.

I was doing great, I was at peace that she was gone, I was living my life. And then...I was thinking that she is in heaven and with all of the magnificence that entails, she is not here. And sometimes I am mad. Not at God, cause I remember His promises, but that she is not with me. That makes me mad! What makes me madder is when I get upset about it and it disrupts my life. I am happy, I am joyful, I don't want to be mad, but it is there all the same.

So what do I do, do I stay there? For a little while, but then I remember His promises..His will is perfect, we will see her again, and all things work together for good that love the Lord. I will stand on those promises, and glorify God with my mom.

I hope everyone had a precious Easter season, I know I did. Thank you for stopping by!

Oh, and one more important promise...an update on Kaitlyn. Sooner Start came today, she did not qualify but is only in the nine month range for motor skills (based mostly on her gross motor skills). They really couldn't understand why she wasn't pulling up, cruising, or even up on her knees. So they put her knees to see if she would crawl, put her on her tummy to see if she would army crawl and all she would do is go back to her bottom. Stubborn girl. They did recommend that a PT come and observe her and evaluate her for a day and see if they can give me some pointers. Then they left, she took a nap, and guess what!? She woke up and got on her knees and started crawling. Not a lot, but enough to get her about 3 feet! Praise God!! She even started army crawling as well! I think soon I am going to be wishing she wasn't as mobile...nah!! Thank you for your prayers!
