God is in control.
God is in control.
God is in control.
God is in control.
God is in control.
I keep telling myself this. If I say it enough, maybe it will sink in.
We all know that life can't be roses all the time, that we will all have trials and upsets. This is our time. Obviously, our house is a huge issue. We've been patient and optimistic. Now, that seems to be coming to a stop. We are having to daily remind ourselves not to get discouraged. We must remind ourselves that we are blessed and fortunate. We aren't starving. We have a roof over our heads. Our kids are healthy.
BUT......it doesn't look like we will be getting back into our house anytime soon. We were hoping things would be settled soon, but it doesn't look like it. I won't go into details.
We have some major decisions coming up, financially, emotionally, and physically.
I have to put my faith and trust in God. He is in control and has a plan for all of this. I just wish He would clue me in.

Happy Birthday Lily!
One year ago today, we welcomed Lily Grace into our lives. She has been such a sweet blessing and a great addition! Our family is now complete.
I just want to share a few great things about my sweet angel baby :)
Lily loves remotes and phones. She will grab one any chance she gets. She will also find a way to take the batteries out of these. She likes to suck on the remote batteries. Such a crazy girl! There have been many a day when I walk in to find a battery hanging out of her mouth.
Lily also loves the bathroom. YUCK!!! She likes to go into the bathroom and pull all of the toilet paper off the roll and drag it across the room. Occasionally, she likes to eat the toilet paper.
She loves to take a bath. She even signs bath and says BA. She has discovered splashing in the tub. She has these little pond squirt toys. Those are her favorite. Sebastian showed her how to squirt them. She likes to squirt herself in the mouth. She even gives them to me and demands that I squirt her.
Lily LOVES bread. She takes after her daddy. She also loves all things sweet, especially chocolate. She loves rice and gravy. That, she gets from me. Her daddy's weird plain rice didn't get passed on to her. If she hears or sees food packages opening, she will be at your side in a heartbeat begging for it, even if she's not hungry.
My sweet angel baby loves to dance. Anytime she hears music, she has to stop and dance. She knows when I put pandora on that the good times are about to start. I love to watch Eric and her dance.
Miss Lily has a temper! She does not like you to take anything from her or tell her no. Come on, who does? She will scream at the top of her lungs and cry big crocodile tears. She has even taken to falling down when Sebastian takes something from her. She makes it look like he pushed her. We were fussing at him until we finally saw what that little booger was doing!
I could go on and on but I won't. My sweet girl is a true blessing from God. She makes all of us smile. I couldn't be a prouder mommy!

New Year
Today, I sit here watching my sweet babies play. Lily runs around and says, "Mommy, Mommy!" Sebastian is doing chores so he can play the Wii. A typical morning!
There are a few things that have been going on since I last posted. The first and biggest is we are not in our house. Issac messed it up pretty bad and we had to gut it. We are waiting on the lawyer and insurance company before anything happens. That is a whole new story that just makes me angry.
We are very blessed to have wonderful friends. Kristy is letting us stay in her little cottage behind her house. It's not big, but it's a roof over our heads. We have food to eat, our bodies are clothed, and we have heat/air. It shows that we don't need a lot to live. We had all of this space at our house and material possessions. We were spoiled. Now we have very little and very little space. We are still happy and healthy. Sure, I would love to be back in my house. I would love to sleep in a room without a little girl who likes to make all kinds of noises at night. I would love to have my own bathroom. Those things would be WONDERFUL, but I can and am living without it.
The next thing
My church is fantastic. They have been there through lots of trials this past year. They were there and feeding us when Lily was born, when I was in the hospital, when I had surgery, and the latest with the house. They have prayed for us, been friends to us, and supported us through it all. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful brothers/sisters in Christ.
Now the irritating/irksome part of life: I will probably offend people with this but I don't care.
I know that some of us are not happy that Obama was reelected. We all knew it would happen, we just didn't want to see it happen. He is a liar. He is scum. He is a bully. He has no interest for the people of this nation. He is only interested in what he can do to gain more power and money for himself. I think he is a disgusting man!
Our nation is being torn apart and most people aren't seeing that or don't care. History is repeating itself (Nazi Germany). We are loosing our freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom to bear arms. We are being taxed out the butt! AND we have no say in it. Aren't these all reasons why we had the American Revolutionary War? We teach these things to our children and yet we let them happen to us. How much more can our nation take? Not much. We are bankrupting our nation, morals, and families.
Things that are really bothersome in our government:
1. We have a huge debt and our "representative and senators" (who really on represent themselves and people who have ton of money) just got a pay raise while raising our taxes!
2. Obamacare is a joke! Let's make everyone HAVE to buy insurance. We are currently spending $600 month for insurance on Eric and me. GOOD LORD! I could save that money and pay for going to the doctor with change to spare. How is Obamacare helping families??? It's not! Healthcare is going to go downhill and we are going to have the poorest health services in the world. Thanks to a socialist policy.
3. Businesses like Hobby Lobby have to make a choice: either go against their faith and religious beliefs or pay millions of dollars in fines a day. WOW!!! Thanks Obama for taking away religious freedoms. You can't tell me or convince me that being a business means you have to compromise what you believe.
4. If you have a gun, you've probably registered it. HA!!! Soon, they will ban guns and they know you have them. No since trying to deny you have them, you've registered them. They will come after them. It's happened before. Also, Illinois is about to put a bill out that does that exact thing!!!!
5. Good luck protesting against our government. If they get wind of it and it's big enough, all the have to do is send a Secret Service agent to be around. Then you will be arrested and could face up to 10 years in prison.
6. Since 9/11, if you are considered to be a terrorist (even if it's not true), you can be arrested and have everything searched and torn apart. All without a warrant! Oh yeah, and they can hold you indefinitely. Nice, there go some more of our basic rights!
I am not going to keep going. It saddens my heart that we are living now in a nation that has let this idiot of a president ruin and rip apart our Constitution. Is it all Obamas fault? No. It's our nation's fault for letting him do this. It's our nation's fault for being so wrapped up in what can the government give me! Too many have sat back and done and said nothing. Those that do say something are considered to be crazy. Well I am joining the crazy nuts today. I am disgusted with the way our government is. It won't be long before the dollar collapses and our nation is split. It won't be long before our country is nothing more. Great job Mr. President. You have in one term destroyed most of what makes this nation great.
You can dislike or disagree with what I have said and that's fine. It's a free country. Right?????
