O' Lord Save Me...

This is a line that I have been saying for months now and he truly saves me everyday!!!

This is going to be a short blog but there is more to come with my photography editing attempts!!!!

One: Ally LOVE LOVE LOVES preschool and is soo well behaved. Everybody on the bus just loves her and well it just makes me the proudest mother in the world to have a daughter that is just that well behaved for everyone else and who listens.

I am working for my mother - in -law and I LOVE IT! I am learning so much and I am so excited. It is allowing me to be there for alyson and at home when I need to be but is giving us a little extra income!

David is doing better with his back and is going to see a doctor just to make sure everything is going to be okay.

We still "arent" trying but are preparing for the next steps in the BABY WORLD.

Here are a few little things I have tried!

Have a very blessed wknd and be on the lookout for more blogs, stories, and pictures!!!

Mom, God made it Rain!

"So we tell others about Christ, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all the wisdom God has given us. We want to present them to God, perfect in their relationship to Christ. " Colossians 1:28

My title says it all for me today! Yesterday through all the rain Ally told me that it was God that made it rain. She told me that OUR God made it rain for us today. I love hearing her talk about God and she is doing it alot lately.

A few weeks ago we looked at the clouds and she told me that God is who makes rain and that he makes the sun. I went ahead and took the opportunity to tell her a little bit more about what God does for us. I told her that God wants us to be happy but that he will also give us hurdles or things to make us work or sad to learn and Grow. She told me that she knew that and that She loved God and my heart just melted! I told her that one day Jesus was going to come down from heaven and get us and that then we would live in his house! We talked about how God makes the clouds and how he has a "castle" (I told her that yes he did and that we call it a kingdom!) How he made that "wake"(lakes) and that he just plain Loves us unconditionally and that just made her SMILE!

I love that she is so interested in God and the things he does for us.... It is absolutey amazing!

We have also started another routine that I LOVE!!!

" You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy, when skies are gray.

You'll never know dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away."

We sing that every night before bed now and then pray. I LOVE IT!!

One more update.... We have moved my mother-in-law's dad out to the farm. He got sick a few weeks ago and had to have a stint put in and now he is just right down the road and ALLY LOVES IT! She told me the other night that her and papa lock are going to stay in the camper. That that is their house and that is where she lives now. It used to take her 15 - 20 minutes to get warmed up to Papa Lock but since we started praying for him to get better she is just latched on and wont let go which is awesome!

and I think he loves it too!!!!! :-)

Anyways enough with my rambling. I don't have any new pictures yet but I will since ally is starting school on thursday!!! Dave took the day off so that we could take her in for her first day! She is super excited and is especially excited for the shopping trip to Joplin the following saturday!

Have a very BLESSED REST OF THE WEEK!

"Ask me and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come." Jeremiah 33:3

Well, Well, Well... been a long long time since I have done this!!!

UPDATES: Ally starts preschool on August 20th! She is super excited and ready to be in school, and make some NEW friends!!

Dave is working harder than ever! He built a dock off one of our ponds and Ally, Dave and I love to go swimming!!!

Im still working at the Shoe Dept but am looking for something that is more of a consistant schedule. The hours alone are hurting me... the money is good but with ally starting school I need something where I can have the weekends off.

No baby yet. Dave and I are leaving it in God's hands. He has perfect timing. And it is HIS perfect timing not ours. So we stopped taking the pills given to David for now. We might consider going back that route but 50 dollars a month... well we need it for other bills that well... anyways... need paid.

I am still praying and hoping that our time will be soon. I still feel that David and I will have at least one more child. But when God feels we are ready.

Here is a picture of Ally... Dave and Ally played baseball last night and he taught her how to bat. My dad(steve) would be proud!!! And boy can she smack that ball!! I think I see softball in her future??!!

God Bless and Have a very wonderful weekend!
