Happy April! It's snowing! :) The kids sat in their little chairs by the back porch door and watched it for a good 20 minutes this morning. This was the only 20 minutes they were well behaved and quiet though. :) That quote kept coming to mind today... something like "If you allow a boy to get bored you deserve what happens." They got spoiled on that nice day we had last week. Tyler got very upset when it stopped snowing and I told him not to worry because it'll snow pretty much all week. :) I"m holding out for 60's and sunny on Friday for the baseball game!! WE"RE GOING!! My dad got work tickets in the front row! FRONT ROW!! The only bad thing is that the front row is the furthest you can get from the bathroom. Haha! For those who like to hear pregnant women complain, I'm still sick. Nothing sounds good, everything makes me have heartburn and a stomach ache and i'm hungry all the time. I'm thankful not to be sick and very very very thankful that the kids play so well together and Gary's the most helpful man in the universe. It'll all be worth it and I'm feeling much better today! I actually ate two real meals over the weekend! I've also discovered candy canes. Yesterday was Palm Sunday and we had a wonderful church service. After two weeks in the nursery I appreciated it all the more. One of the things that comes up a lot this time of year is the church leaders of Jesus day. It always strikes me that these men where the men who studied scripture. They were in the Word the most and yet they not only missed who Jesus was, but go the crowds of people to ask that he be cruficied. I know this happened to fulfill the prophecies but it should be a lesson to us today. How can we expect to know God's will if we are not in the word? Here are men who's JOB it was to be in the word and they completely missed it! Yet we sometimes think we can read a chapter a day, or just read a few times a week, or not even read at all and expect the Lord to bless us. We ask him for all these things we want, and on our time table, and then when he does not deliver we get mad and go off and do what we want. We take control, take over for God and then wonder why some of those things he allows to blow up in our faces. I think growing up in a wealthy nation makes it even worse for us. We feel and are told all the time that we "deserve" things or "need" things. Do we really? What do we really deserve? Who do we give creidt to when things go well? Ourselves. Who do we blame when life is full of hard knocks? God? Really? I"m guilty of it too and it breaks my heart. Gary's putting together our NEW MAC MINI!!! more later... he keeps unplugging me and i'm going to lose my blog!!
