Psalm 31

Psalm 31 is one of my favorite chapter. Anytime I had a surgery or was going thru a hard trial, I read this chapter and was greatly encouraged.

I always had fun reading this chapter before I had back surgery (which was many times).
I would pick certain phrases and ask God to help me.

For example:
vs 2: " Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily:" My prayer was that the Lord listen to me and please give me a speedy recovery!
vs. 15: " My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me." I always thought that though the doctors were there to help me, they were persecuting me. :)


But, verse 14 covered it all: "But I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God."
I trusted God to bring me through every surgery and trial, and He did! He alone is my God and my Salvation. I am so blessed to be a child of God!

Perfect Strength

Ever heard the song "His Strength is Perfect" ? The chorus says, "His strength is perfect when our strength is gone. He'll carry us when we can't carry on. Raised in His power the weak become strong. His strength is perfect. His strength is perfect." I am so glad that God is there to carry us when we feel like we can't walk on anymore. I have had many times in my life that I have needed God to carry me, and He always did. Praise the Lord! He did it then, and He will now. All I have to do is ask!

Pics of my boys

Picture #1 - Alex- the child who loves fruit snacks, carrying small toys around all day and hates to wear pants! :)

Picture #2 - My baby boys, Alex (3) and Aaron (9mon). They look nothing alike!!!

Picture #3 - Aaron, his favorite place to be is the refrigerator! Can't you tell by those thighs? ;)

Peace - Mark 4:35-41

I woke up this morning about 4:30 to Alex having a bad dream. When I climbed back in bed to go back to sleep, I couldn't. My mind was going a hundred miles an hour. I was laying there thinking, What are we going to do? What if Stan doesn't get a job right away? How will I take care of the boys and meet every need they have? What will we do ? Then the Lord said "Peace, be still". I remembered the story of Jesus and the disciples, when they were in the boat, and the storm came while Jesus slept. Man, even the winds and seas obeyed him! All he said were three little words, "Peace, be still". If I just BE STILL and trust Him, I will have peace! It is just that simple.When we are in a trial, we tend to forget to trust the Lord that He will take care of things. I am so thankful that He gives PEACE!

Psalm 121:1-2

" I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth."

Today, my husband was laid off his job. His route was being cut and so he was cut. Please keep us in your prayers as we search for what God will have us do next.

Alex and Aaron

Alex is 3 years old now and wide open! He was born 6 wks early and had to stay in the NICU for 22 days. He was a fighter. Now, You cannot even tell he was premature. He is full of surprises and has you laughing all day.
Aaron is 9 months old. He is a momma's boy. He loves to follow Alex around the house and get into things. He is in the process of learning to walk, so there are many bumps and bruises!

About Stan

Stan grew up in a Christian home. He was saved at a young age. He was called to preach during high school. Right now, he is waiting on God to show him a church to work in. Please keep us in your prayers.
