Stuffing the stove

Well another weekend has flown by. Saturday I was able to work and Scott watched the kids and fixed all the things that broke when he was gone last week. Quinn announced that we have a new "shiny flusher" (0ur toilet broke downstairs and needed a new handle) Quinn thought that this was the best new thing because she had to tell me first thing in the morning and even show me how to use it. I hope she never loses the excitement in life from the little things. She by far makes me laugh more than anyone. Today before supper she had to go around the house and shoot all the lions with Gideon's play gun because a lion bite can be "double bad". Phew thank goodness I have bodyguards at home. Scott left this morning again till Thursday and it wouldn't be so bad except that I have to get up to fill the stove outside. Last week I experienced divine intervention for as I went outside at 2am I locked myself out of the house. Stellar move on my part. I had visions of throwing rocks at the girls window and then realizing I was probably scaring them to death. I prayed and knew that God above would help me. The front door which is always locked was open and I was saved from sleeping in the car. God is so good to me. I am feeling so good. I heard the heartbeat last week for the first time and something tells me it might be a boy. Everything looks healthy so far. It was so good to see my midwife again, she joked that I see her exactly every 2 years. I made sure she knew that wouldn't be a theme anymore.
A new year has begun and I have decided to step it up a bit this year and just really live closer to the Lord and just trust His plan for my life. I need to live more like I believe the words in His Bible and not get wrapped up in this world. My goals are to witness more and to really get to know people and where they are spiritually. Someone said to me once that "people don't care how much you know they want to know how much you care". That is going to be the 2011 theme for me. I need to stop thinking about me and my life and start caring about the people around me. With Christ's help I can accomplish this. Please pray that God allows me to be less like myself and more like Him.
God is good all the time
