What we've been up to...





We've kept ourselves busy this summer. I can hardly believe we are almost to the end of July. We didn't have any vacation planned (a trip with 3 children under 3 didn't sound like a vacation! :) but we took several days off to just enjoy some family time and it has been wonderful. We have a little blow-up pool that the kids (and Paul) enjoy playing in. We took a trip to the Ft Wayne zoo one day and met the Grandma's there. Hannah has been working on potty training. Which has been going really well. She likes to have her toy trains "watch" her while she uses her potty and you can see a couple of them in the foreground of the one picture (disturbing? maybe.) Maddie is progressing to solid foods and is working on sitting up on her own. She rolls both ways and is in the first stages of trying to be mobile. I've enjoyed the days of hanging clothes outside on the line and had to take a picture. This is just 2 days worth of clothes! between maddie learning to eat and hannah learning to use the potty, we go through a lot of clothes. I'm still plugging away at my training to run a half-marathon this fall and am now up to 9 miles. With my job of parenting, God continues to call me to improve on my patience, mercy, and self-discipline. But thankfully, He's not finished with me yet :)

Consistency

Image
I went for a run yesterday. It did not feel that good. I felt winded, out-of shape. I got a cramp in my side. I only ran for 30 minutes. It was hard to believe that just 3 weeks ago I ran 13.1 miles at an 8:30 pace. Because, well, here's the rub.  I've only ran twice in these last two weeks... Prior to 3 weeks ago, I was running 3 days a week, 60 minutes or more each time.  But, I pulled a few muscles during the race and have had to back off on my running to recover. Amazing how quickly our bodies lose something when we stop being consistent. It speaks to the reality of this fleeting life. Everything is wasting away. We have to work to maintain so many things in order to keep it from going into disrepair. Our bodies Our health Our skin Our homes Our marriages Our parenting Our spiritual walk Our hearts A huge priority when it comes to consistency: marriage and parenting Oh, how quickly these things can lose their workability when we turn...

Being led into the trial

Image
So, many of you may be familiar with the story of how God parted the Red Sea so that the Israelites could cross on dry land and escape the Egyptians who were coming after them? If you are familiar with it, bear with me as a paint the scene: 1 million-plus Israelites are pretty much shoved out of Egypt after God delivers His final blow to the stubborn Pharaoh. They start on their walk through the dessert, being led by a large cloud by day and pillar of fire at night, God's presence ever before them. Where ever He went....they followed. They followed Him right up to the shores of the Red Sea. There they camped for a few nights and then hear the reports that the Egyptians changed their mind, they want their slaves back, and they are coming for them. The Israelites panic, questioning why God would lead them to the shore of a sea, only to get captured. Answer: to show them His power. God had a plan, a way to rescue His people. He uses Moses, who lifts his staff, and the ...

Happy Birthday, Owen!

Image
Five years ago today I became a mommy. A whole new adventure as many of you can relate to. Today we celebrated Owen turning 5 years old. He has waited SOOO long for this day. I think he has been talking about turning 5 for at least 6 months. We were so glad to have both sets of grandparents and my brother Sam be able to join us for supper and cake afterwards. Altogether there were 16 of us around the dinner table. I've been having this thought rolling around in my head lately about these teenagers that we serve here at Gateway. Sometimes I get stuck in the thought that this is my job and that my actual life occurs on the 9 days off I have each month. But I've been reconsidering what my life really consists of. I believe that living at Gateway IS my life. Whew. I said it. That sounds kinda big. But I believe that my family life currently consists of 3 toddlers and 5 teenagers and a wonderful husband. When I start looking at these kids as more than 'residents' so...
