Mustard Seeds

The Miracle of a Mustard Seed

Matthew 17.20

Jesus said, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move.  Nothing will be impossible for you."

Thanks for the reminder Grandpa Robert and Grandma Nancy.  This bookmark is hanging on our fridge and will act as a daily reminder.

Helpless...

Well today is wrapping up day 12 that we have been dealing with sick kids.  And HELPLESS is just how I feel!

I can't do anything to take this away from Josiah nor is anything I am doing seeming to help.  Yesterday after spending most of the day at the Dr with him while he received 600mL of fluids and was pumped with sugar, we thought it was behind us.  Until around lunchtime today...when it all started again.
So please join us in praying that he will begin to take fluids and keep them down.  I really don't want to go back tomorrow or Friday with him for more fluids.

Thanks, 
Feeling Helpless Mom :(

Mommy and Me #10

It's really hard to take a picture with your blackberry while holding your 18 month old and sitting in an arena waiting to watching "Walking with the Dinosaurs."

We had so much fun at "Walking with the Dinosaurs," we highly recommend it to anyone who has dino loving kids!

Already Gone

Something that I really struggle with when it comes time to PCS is being done when its not quite time.  By this I mean mentally checking out and finding myself not caring anymore.

Sadly I started on this path last week and its been a downhill spiral ever since!  It is difficult for me to care anymore and that is not who I want to be.  I don't like the process of PCSing and in the coming weeks I can't avoid it.  I do not enjoy preparing for the movers.  I do not enjoy trying to foresee what we will need in the next few weeks/months we are stuck in temporary housing.  I do not enjoy saying goodbye to friends. 

But this is my end of the commitment that Joe and I made together almost 7 years ago.  I committed to follow and accept the orders we were given by the United States Air Force.  I will make each place, whether its an apartment, a six-plex, a duplex, a house or even a hotel room (and yes we lived in a hotel room for 4 months!) our home for the time that we are there.  I may not like every assignment or location but as a family we will learn to live there and survive.  Because sometime just surviving is all you can do!

So for now I am resigning to return to Minot and complete our commitment here.  And I will try my hardest to enjoy it too.
