Birthday time...

My birthday is March 2nd and this year it was on a Friday so my parents decided to come down and spend the weekend with my husband and I.  It was so much fun.  We spent a lot of time visiting and shopping and just having a fun relaxing weekend.  So for my birthday dinner we decided to go to Texas Roadhouse for dinner.  It is Nathan's favorite restaurant and they just opened the one in Nampa two weeks before my parents were here to visit. 

Here are Nathan and I posing before dinner while waiting for our food...


Any my awesome parents...


After dinner the Roadhouse crew made me sit on the saddle
and wear a cowboy hat while they sang happy birthday to me.
(the camera wasn't on the right setting so the picture turned out a little dark)
It was a lot of fun though :)


After dinner they brought ice cream for my birthday so here is a picture
of Nathan and I chowing down on it : )

My parents and Nathan went together and bought me a Kindle Fire for my
birthday.  I had been wanting to try one for awhile.  I love my Kindle! My friend
Kristina got me a cover for it for my birthday.  here is a picture of my Kindle Fire with its cool new cover...




Here is a picture of my mom and I after a fun day of shopping!


It was an awesome weekend.  We had so much fun just
spending time together and shopping and visiting!!!!

Our words make a difference

Growing up, were you ever told, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?"  I remember being taught this when I was pretty young.  Our words matter and if we can't say something nice, it's better not to say anything.  In today's world, especially with social media, it seems that a lot of people have forgotten this message or maybe were never taught it to begin with.  Another childhood saying was "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me."  Unfortunately, this saying is not true either.  Words can cause lasting damage that is very difficult to overcome. We need to be mindful when we are speaking that our words are used to encourage and uplift one another and not used to destroy each other.  There is a scripture verse that I have been meditating on this week and it is listed below.  It states that our conversation needs to be seasoned with salt, but also full of grace so that we know how to answer ...

Trust in God

Today while watching Superbook with my children the theme of the episode was to trust in God.  "Trust in God and He will show the way."  Do we really understand what it means to trust God?  Can we truly comprehend this statement?   It's easy when things are going our way.  It can be easy when things aren't going our way, but life is still going well.  However, do you still trust God when life is hard?  When everything seems to be going wrong in life?  Do you trust God through the hard stuff?   There is an old time song that says "The God on the mountain is still God in the valley.  When things go wrong, you know that He will make them right.  The God of the good times is still God in the bad times and the God of the day, is still God in the night."   Think about the words to that song.  No matter what, God is still God.  He still has control over the outcome.  Recently, my mom and I were talking an...

God's timing

My kids love to watch Superbook, it's a cartoon about Bible stories.  Today the episode was about Lazarus and about God's timing.  This past weekend I heard a song on the radio and I can't remember the song, but one of the lines talks about how faith can move mountains and God can still perform miracles today.  I have been thinking about those two lines this week, how God can move mountains and still perform miracles today.  Do we have the faith to stand and believe this statement?  Then watching Superbook with my kiddos this morning, it was all about God's timing and that sometimes God has a better plan for us than what we can think or ask for. Have you ever felt when you were praying that you just didn't know how or when your prayers would be answered?  Sometimes, it doesn't feel like your answers are coming or that your prayers are going anywhere.  Did you know that God still hears each and every one of those prayers?  It just might not be His ...
