November

I guess I lost interest in blogging recently? I know I'll look back on this hole left on my blog at some point and wonder what was going on in my life during that time. So, I guess it's time for somewhat of an update.

Baylor keeps a small prayer journal and LOVES writing in it. She is so compassionate and really does think of people's prayer needs without me web prompting her. I was praying with her about someone I don't even know, just the name or someone that had been passed on to me. I explained to Baylor that this lady was in jail but had recently been baptized and needed prayer. We had moved on from the subject later in the evening and Baylor asked "Could you take me to the jail to see her?" I told her I wasn't sure but wondered why she wanted to go. "to talk to her about God!". :). It's like she gets it - more than I do on most days. Her uncle came to see her a few days ago, and while he was talking to me, she brought him two slips of paper: one ob which she had written 'jeff' and the other 'pray'. She told him, "I'm praying for your, uncle jeff!"

Larin had the best weekend being all alone with her daddy while I took the other girls to Phoenix. It was a full weekend of one on one with just her and her dad. I don't think she really wanted that to ever end. It's so easy to make her happy! She is such a little peacemaker, and I know we will always need her around for that! :).

Mailey James gives us a run for our money on a daily basis. She's at the age when frustration really sets in because of lack of ability to communicate. BUT she gets prettier and prettier every day - her blue eyes are just breathtaking. She loves her sisters so much, and we could just eat her with a spoon. She is rough and tough and pretty much could take any of us!

Casey and I are in a new bible study this semester and are just in awe of the things God has done in our lives and the lives in our church. I feel so challenged right now to daily take up my cross, and I feel we are at a point in our lives where God is really growing us in His word. His timing is perfect. We feel so blessed by our church family right now and just feel very motivated to be doers or the word! So praise God for that!

My job is an absolute dream job, and I think my arm is bruised from how many times I've pinched myself over the last 12 weeks. I don't deserve one bit of it, but I am still so thankful for this passion inside me and this opportunity to share it.

My favorite holiday is almost here...Happy Thanksgiving!!!
