Playgroup With A Purpose!

So while on one of my many blog reading days, I can across this awesome blog about putting play dates and charity work together. I was super inspired and have started one here in COS. You can check out the blog to find out all the great info! http://pwapcos.blogspot.com/"

where have I been?


It's really hard to believe it's March already and even harder for me to believe that this is the first post I'm doing for the new year! I'm a little behind to say the least! We've had some exciting firsts around here. Jada learned how to ride her bike and she lost her first tooth all before she turned 5!! We were so proud and excited for her! It's really hard to believe she'll be starting kindergarten this fall!


Mackenzy is doing great in first grade and learning so much! She really is beyond her age in maturity and helps me more than a first grader probably should. I'm really so thankful for her and her sweet and loving spirit.


Maddox is living up to the term "terrible two's" these days...letting us all know very loudly when he's not happy about something. He does keep us laughing though and we are encouraged that he will grow out of this stage and that we will keep directing him on that path. We both tried very hard to turn our heads and not laugh when Maddox told Adam "stop it stupid daddy" We were both like "what the heck??," guess that's what happens when you have two older sisters that probably throw that word around every now and then.


Adam has a job! Praise the Lord and even better he just interviewed with a company he really likes. So we are waiting to see if this is the path God takes us down.

I'm still praying and waiting to be able to start the adoption process. I felt really encouraged yesterday talking to another friend who is getting ready to bring two kids home from Africa! I've also decided to start a group for moms and kids called Playground With A Purpose. This was not my idea at all, but I found it on another blog site and thought would an awesome idea. They are just a group of moms who get together for a playgroup and pick a charity to give to! I love that idea!!


So lots of things have been happening around here and I'm excited to see what's next!

feeling Blah!

Today and many days before are feeling very blah to me...I'm really trying to figure God out here (probably my first mistake) trying to make sense of this life right now. It all seems very impossible right now. I'm just frustrated!

But on a happier note Adam and I get to go see Toby Mac and Reliant K in concert tonight...thanks to my wonderful sister in law, Amanda. She works for Way FM and scored us some free tickets! So That should be fun...something to take my mind off what is.

Today

Today doesn't feel as bad as yesterday...I think I'm in the numb phase. Plus Adam is gone hunting for the weekend, so I don't have to look at that weary face of his. I really hope he is able to relax and blow off some stress. I know that God is in control(I keep repeating this statement over and over in my head!) and He will provide for us! I'm really trying to leave the "why" phase behind me. He truly sees all and I only see a tiny portion. And even in our hopelessness yesterday, God's goodness was triumphant as Adam received a call from another pharma company who was interested in him.


This is today...

Wondering why??

Why does life happen the way you don't want?
Why did my husband go through 4 interviews for one job?
Why did we receive the great news that he got the job?
Why did we have just enough money to pay this month's mortgage?
Why did yesterday the "perfect" job disappear?
Why do things seem perfect and then get changed?
Why do I trust so little?

So thankful

My dear husband got himself a job!!! We are so relieved and grateful to our God. He has been more faithful to us during this hard time then I even realized. We are also so thankful to all our friends and family who have been there to support us and pray with us.

Adam starts the 14th and I can't wait!!
