slow words

(we can finally do a pigtail...granted we don't yank it out or freak before its in there!)

so here i am.

after almost a month hiatus, i have returned. over this past month - i've attempted to write many times. but for some reason my thoughts wouldn't connect with my words and so i'd write and delete....write and delete.

no matter what this blog sounds like, i will write anyways. :0) you have been warned. i am not even going to read it a second time...otherwise i may delete and then you who have been on my case about updating - will continue to do so.

we've had a pretttttttttttttttttty interesting month, to say the least. whoever told me "you think normal teeth are bad, wait till they start teething molars!", yah about that...you failed to ah, stress the BAD part. my poor 13 monther has been teething 4 molars - all at once. the bottom two have finally broken through - one on top is almost there and the other remains teasing. needless to say, its been a rough month with ZERO sleep. okay, maybe not zero but close to it. to top it off, delaney and i both have gross colds. i have a bad sore throat and she is all stuffy and runny. we always seem to get sick when we spend time with the boys. i don't understand why they are always sick. hmmm. its no fun to be all stuff though when the weather is as gorgeous as it has been. can anyone top our 70* weather?? mom? bridgette?

sean finally got a tooth pulled, that was giving him some serious pain. he's spent many a night till morning on the living room floor . i'm so thankful he's not in pain. his job is going well, growing and learning. he was just put on salary and had a 1.25 raise. now we're just waiting for commission to start coming in. huge prayer request. his company will be moving up to the pocono's area and so we also seek for wisdom as we look around the area to find our new humble abode. i would LOVE to get a house but if we need to rent out to save some more money - the Lord will make it known.

me on the other hand, have been busy keeping up with a baby who now moves everywhere. baby proofing as we go along here. everything went into her mouth before, but now EVERYTHING goes into the mouth. if she see's me watching she holds her hand high in the air to give it to me, but in the moments when she thinks "mommy isn't watching, ha!" she quickly gives it a chew. it has certainly made me keep up on the vacuuming. :0) another big thing, which won't be that huge to all...but bear with me, delaney is completely weaned. this is another reason why this past month has been a bit draining. emotionally and physically for both of us. after 13 months of breastfeeding though - i am very thrilled of my returned semi-freedom.

as for spiritual insight? ahh, i'm lacking. its been more of a month of journaling my heart and praying about it. when i don't know where to look, i always go to james. i have read that book a trillion times over and still - the conviction i feel is just as strong as the first time i read through. our walk with christ is and will always be, about faith. there will always be doubts that toss to and fro' . this has been one of my favorite bible verses for quite sometime. its a well known verse and its one that all should know. "for surely i know the plans i have for you, says the lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope." jer 29:11

he knows our road map. he knows where we're heading. he desires hope and good welfare for our lives. and in this, i must place my trust.

have a wonderful weekend and stay in the word, its one of the only thing that will keep you going on this bumpy path.
