What I have learned over the last few weeks.... definitely that most of the drama in my life has one common denominator; me. That is a really hard reality to admit but it's a truth that has really made me take stock of my life and realize what is important to me.
We have had several topics come up either in a sermon on Sunday morning or in the "Crazy Love"book we just finished in book club that have referred to how we approach God with words.
Ecclesiastes 5:1-3 (New American Standard Bible)
1(A)Guard your steps as you go to the house of God and draw near to listen rather than to offer the(B)sacrifice of fools; for they do not know they are doing evil.
2Do not be (C)hasty in word or impulsive in thought to bring up a matter in the presence of God For God is in heaven and you are on the earth; therefore let your (D)words be few.
3For the dream comes through much effort and the voice of a (E)fool through many words.
This verse is a very profound one to me right now. Not only in the way I approach God but also with how I verbally approach others. "Let your words be few" implies wisdom when speaking.; a deliberateness in words and not just what is off the top of your head; not emotionally based.
Proverbs 29:20
Do you see a man who is hasty in his words?There is more hope for a fool than for him.
This is what I would love to focus on in the new year. These two verses I would love to put into practice.
So here comes some photos that are long overdue! The first one is of Isaac and his big hunting trip with his BB and uncle Mickey. He actually was able to go for 4 full days to west Texas. This was a big step for my little guy. For him and me and Steve. He did great and had a lot of fun!!

This is just a goofy spoof for our beloved pastor. We had a print out of a picture of Luke's face and thought it would be funny to put it over Isaac's face. It turned out so well that it totally freaked Luke and Alisha out when we sent it to them!!
Ethan's Club 4-5-6 at church. We call it his pre-youth, youth group. This is the whole group on the way to their Redneck Christmas Party

Ethan loves this belt buckle. Steve used it at Halloween and it was perfect for this Redneck Party
