back in blogosphere

Okay Blogspot Im back in your blogosphere! I decided last fall to try out a different blogging site that was private and would then take your blogs every three months and make them into books for free, but low and behold it wasnt as good as it sounded, so alast I am back here to share my thoughts and life with everyone! It was very hard to post on that site-ugh i cant believe i lasted almost 6 months there! Anyhow...so whats been happening lately, I have been doing lots of garage saling and have been loving it this year, I cant wait for the neighborhood sale tomorrow close to home! Other than that the same old same old! So far this spring has been pretty laid back and not too crazy like in the years past when it seemed like we had something to do everyday! So far this year only 3 weddings, 2 graduations and 2 birthdays to go to! Oh and so many babies being born! I think I have been to more baby showers this year than ever before! I love celebrating the gift of new life, it is truly one of God's many blessings! Actually a friend who i consider like a sister is in labor as we speak! Cant wait to meet her little bundle of joy!! eagerily awaiting the phone call!
On Mother's day we had our last Growing Kids God's Way class, we did this class on sunday mornings at our church during sunday school hour, it was pretty great but we had some great teachers- my hubby's brother and his wife helped co-lead the class with another couple! This class is a video series and book that is written by the Ezzo's also know for babywise, which is the secular version of this class. It was very informative but covered so much information, hope just certain bits and pieces are able to sink in... :) We had to miss so many classes due to either kaihtlyn being sick or myself and since i am a visual and auditory learner this often made it dificult for me to grasp all of the material but we perservered! We have officially been sick free in our home for over a month now, we might just set a record or maybe I will speak too soon! :) So glad that summer is here, this winter brought many difficult times and many of times me asking God why, but I was reminded each time by the still but quiet voice of the holy spirit, why not me? I think one of the hardest challenges I faced this last winter was seeing my daughter go through one of the worst sicknesses she has ever had, she had a febrile seizure at the beginning of March during the worst case of stomach flu I had ever seen a child go through. I already hashed all this out on my other blog but I think about it often; how God brought us through a difficult time and how I am learning to leaning on him and need to trust in Him for everything and through every situation! Will i always trust HIM? Will i keep my faith and allow Him to work through all things? These are questions I try to ask myself each day, in everything have i trusted God today? hmm...God show me your way show me how to trust you in EVERYTHING!! even the day to day when i think i have things under control, help me to rely fully on you!
