A Week in Pictures

On our way home tonight from cousin's birthday party in Pittsburgh, I started lamenting/ crying about how often I forget the cute things the kids do and the great memories we make.  So, here is my attempt to chronicle the memories of our sweet, chaotic, messy, beautiful life in Ohio.    

Here are some pictures from this side of heaven...


Thankful for a cancelled field trip and a rainy day....every bin of clothes organized and able to shut!  Whew!

Look how nice the basement guest area looks now minus the piles of clothes

Still waiting on the butterflies to emerge

Pizza, Sherbet, and Oreos=happy eaters

My attempt to read more of the Word

My garage sale find...a great fort building aid

Creative messiness

Ury is our quiet adventurer...never bored

Yet another fort

I finally made picture labels for all of Moriah's toy drawers

We enjoyed seeing Tarzan at Boardman High School....Broadway here we come?

Elijah is still quite the superstar around here

After all of the sunshine, warmth, and outdoor play this week, bath time came on more than just on Saturday 

Moriah loves visiting Daddy's office in the basement 

Moriah got stung by an irritated Honey Bee who left his stinger

Our baby slept six hours one night this week....he hasn't done it since :)

Praise God from whom all bessings flow...so grateful that tomorrow we begin again!  

His mercies are new every morning...

Lent 2020

As the Lenten season approached, I knew I had to face off with what we were going to give up this year as a family. Let me preface this post with this: I have thoroughly been enjoying movies each night as I nursed Levi. It was something I looked forward to & I was getting to the place where I couldn’t imagine life in the nursing a newborn season without those movies.  One night, as I sat on the bed nursing the baby, I told the Lord that I really didn’t want to give up T.V., video games, or movies this year. I enjoyed playing Candy crush & watching movies to take my mind off of how tired I was. I asked God to give me the desire to give it all up. I needed a miracle! Sometime in the next 24 hours I was watching my kids on their devices & watching T.V. and I realized that it was time to regain our focus. To give it up again for the sake of putting it in its rightful place. The Lord actually gave me a longing to give it up, maybe even an excitement for what He would be able...

Your Life Verse

With each of our children we prayed over what we would name them. Nate gave me very specific guidelines for the names of our children- biblical, Hebrew, Old Testament. Yikes! It seemed like such a huge task, but, I believe that God led us to the perfect name for each child. I have asked that the Lord would give me life verses to pray for my kids that go along with each of their names. Isaiah- Jehovah has saved Isaiah 6:6-8- Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal he had taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. He touched my lips with it and said, “See, this coal has touched your lips. Now your guilt is removed, and your sins are forgiven.”  Then I heard the Lord asking, “Whom should I send as a messenger to this people? Who will go for us?” I said, “Here I am. Send me.” Isaiah at PMBC this summer throwing a ratchet Moriah-  God is my teacher, the place where God is worshiped.  “This is what the Lord says: Because you have...

Praying the Psalms

As the rain  and the snow      come down from heaven, and do not return to it      without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish,      so that it yields seed  for the sower  and bread for the eater, 11  so is my word  that goes out from my mouth:       It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire      and achieve the purpose  for which I sent it.  Isaiah 55:10-11 Last week with our kids was brutal.  I babysat various numbers of kids everyday, had missionaries in from out of town, took the kids to Bible school, had play dates at the park, and had 4 different nights where we had dinner with families from our church. By the end of the week I was ready to lock our children in their rooms.  They were being mean, not wanting to play together, constantly hurting the other one's feelings, saying things I have never...
