Happy 10 Year anniversary!!

Ok, so my friend Abby encouraged me to start blogging more..so I think I'll take her advice. :) Jeremy and I just celebrated our 10 year anniversary yesterday. Wow...crazy how fast time went by yet how much happened in 10 years! For the past month we have looked at every place on the planet to see if we could afford a trip somewhere to celebrate our milestone..but unfortunately it just wasn't it the cards for us this time. So I asked my mom if she would take the kids for a night so we could have a night alone...I was thinking "since we don't have much money even just to be at our house by ourselves with a couple movies would be great". Well apparently my hubby has something more up his sleeve! He has been doing some side jobs and stashing away the money..granted it wasn't enough to plan a big trip on, but enough to treat his lady! :) I didn't know he had the money. So I got this really sweet email on friday morning giving me some instructions to pack a few things..nothing I could put together enough to figure out where we were going. So we left with all 5 of us in tote to go to Medford to drop off the kids. On our way, he hands me an envelope with #1 on it....I open it and it has 60.00 in it with a note to head to the mall and buy a new outfit for our date. Wow!! That is like Gold in a girls' hands!!!! :) I was so excited. So after I got some clothes, I got envelope #2 telling me to go to where books are "noble" and get a coffee there as well with a 20 dollar bill enclosed. So needless to say, there were 7 envelopes in all....ranging from staying at a B&B in Jacksonville, to seeing Avatar in 3D and a REALLY nice dinner amongst other things. I have to say, we may not be rich in our wallets...but I am super richly blessed with a husband who adores and loves me like no other!!! Truly I was praising God today for him. He is such a gift to me! What a wonderful way to celebrate our milestone together!! Couldn't have been any better.

Encouraging devotional

Streams in the Desert - Jan. 22

God is Looking

"The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him" (2 Chron. 16:9).

God is looking for a man, or woman, whose heart will be always set on Him, and who will trust Him for all He desires to do. God is eager to work more mightily now than He ever has through any soul. The clock of the centuries points to the eleventh hour.

"The world is waiting yet to see what God can do through a consecrated soul." Not the world alone, but God Himself is waiting for one, who will be more fully devoted to Him than any who have ever lived; who will be willing to be nothing that Christ may be all; who will grasp God's own purposes; and taking His humility and His faith, His love and His power, will, without hindering, continue to let God do exploits. --C. H. P.

"There is no limit to what God can do with a man, providing he will not touch the glory."

In an address given to ministers and workers after his ninetieth birthday, George Mueller spoke thus of himself: "I was converted in November, 1825, but I only came into the full surrender of the heart four years later, in July, 1829. The love of money was gone, the love of place was gone, the love of position was gone, the love of worldly pleasures and engagements was gone. God, God alone became my portion. I found my all in Him; I wanted nothing else. And by the grace of God this has remained, and has made me a happy man, an exceedingly happy man, and it led me to care only about the things of God. I ask affectionately, my beloved brethren, have you fully surrendered the heart to God, or is there this thing or that thing with which you are taken up irrespective of God? I read a little of the Scriptures before, but preferred other books; but since that time the revelation He has made of Himself has become unspeakably blessed to me, and I can say from my heart, God is an infinitely lovely Being. Oh, be not satisfied until in your own inmost soul you can say, God is an infinitely lovely Being!' --Selected

I pray to God this day to make me an extraordinary Christian. --Whitefield.


So I share this with you all because I needed to hear it most today.  I am really struggling to surrender some things to the Lord and I would ask for your prayers for me.  I love the Lord with my whole being and never want to be out of His will, but unfortunately I was given some genetics that include a stubbornness and strong will and those work against me at times.  Please have mercy on me Lord, I need a lot of it.  Thanks for your prayers...Have a blessed day.

    Christmas in the Desert 2008






    We just got back from being on the road for 2 1/2 weeks, and we are glad to be home but we had a wonderful time.  We went to Palm Desert to visit my Dad and family.  On over to Murrieta to see my dad's side of the family, and then to La Mirada to see my mom's side of the family.  The kids did great and had a great time with all their relatives.  Acacia learned how to swim this week and did very well.  Yes, we were swimming while it was dumping snow here in Oregon!!!  It was so nice to see the sun!!  We grew closer to our family this trip both relationally and spiritually, it was hard to leave them this time especially.  I hope to see them before another 2 years goes by..it was wayyy too long!  So often we are bummed out by our family members, but the Lord really showed me this visit that He gave me the family he did for a reason and my heart was renewed with such a thankfulness and love for all of them.  I am so glad God places us where he knows is best!!  Thanks to all my fam for all of your hospitality!!  We enjoyed all of our stops with you all.  Looking forward to the next time we are all together again.
