Before I post about what is going on in our family lately, I am once again going to point readers over to MckMama’s blog called My Charming Kids. Sweet baby Stellan (aka MckMuffin) is still in need of prayer. So is his family. Please lift up this precious baby boy and those that love him.
In news from my home front…
- As I mentioned previously, my friend Dana and I went to see Kate Gosselin speak on Friday. I had so much fun hanging out with Dana and getting to just talk, share, laugh, etc. That was great! I thought Kate was good. She spoke for about an hour and most of it was about her struggles to get pregnant, their decision not to selectively abort any of their multiple babies in utero and how they handle things at home. So, that was very informative and uplifting, of course. I was just a little disappointed because I had hoped she would speak some about Proverbs 31 Ministries because she sometimes does speaking engagements through them from what I understand. Nonetheless, it was an enjoyable evening out with a friend and I’m so glad that Dana and I got to go.
- On Saturday afternoon I got to photograph a wedding reception. I had so much fun! It was “work”, sure, but it was quite a great time. I am almost done with the final edits of the photos. Mickey and I are also working on a photo montage video for them. I am so hopeful that they like the photos I got for them.
- We went to church on Sunday. We have been trying to go at 9:30, but this Sunday it just worked out better to go to the 11:00 service. I’m so glad we were at that service because not only did we get to see our friends Jessie & Carly (who we LOVE), but the message was incredible! Jody preached on the Acts church and how that is what we should strive to be. Church isn’t about meeting in a building once a week. Church should be about what we do every day. How we live. How we reflect Christ in our lives so that others see and want to know what He means to us. It’s a lot to take in, but wouldn’t that be an awesome way to really live?!
- Yesterday Mickey and I went to Macey’s school for lunch. We thought it was a special lunch for her “Character Education” award. But, no. I had the date wrong. That lunch is NEXT Monday. So, we just got to have a nice meal with Macey for no particular reason other than just because. And, hey, just because is always good enough. 🙂 I hope I will get to go to the lunch next Monday, but I have jury duty beginning that day, so it’s anyone’s guess as to what time I’ll be done.
- This morning I am taking Mariana to the ENT for her pre-op visit. On Friday she is having her ear tubes replaced and her adenoids removed. We hope this will help solve the continuing issues that plague her so often. Prayers, of course, are much appreciated.
Guess that’s it for now. Hope everyone has a beautiful day. Please keep praying for Stellan!!
In Christ,
Kelly
Awesome!
We were lucky in that our church in Houston truly is an Acts 2:42 church. That is why this move has been so so hard on us. There wasn’t a single day that we didn’t have someone from church in our home or we were in theirs. Really, to be loved like that by fellow believers is amazing. And so hard to leave!!!
i saw kate with proverbs 31….was very turned off by her…i see her in a totally different light than i did before…it’s sad. 🙁 but i loved the proverbs 31 ladies…made me even more excited to be a mom someday
Renee – I owe you an email, girl!
Christi – That sounds amazing. I know it’s been hard on y’all to leave it.
Nicole – You know, I was doing fine with the whole thing until she said that the network edits out the faith aspect of their family life. Oh really?! Isn’t TLC the same network with the Duggar family whose entire family is religious? I’m not saying she is lying because I have no way to know, but that really hit me odd. I mean, if they WANTED the faith aspect shown more, it seems to me like it would be there.
Hi Kelly! I’ll be thinking of Miss Mariana on Friday. Wil is in the same boat. He hasn’t had any more ear infections, but there is fluid that is causing him not to be able to hear, and we find out in a couple of months if he will have to have more tubes and adenoids removed. I hope everything goes well!
