Packing for the weekend...

So I am in the middle of packing for the weekend because we are going to here in NC and here in SC. I am so excited. Kinsey is not coming with us...she is going to stay with her preschool teacher from last year...which should be a treat for them both! As I was packing Kinsey's suitcase....Keegan didn't want to leave her big sister, so she thought she would just pack herself..so cute!

My "safety net" is gone...

When we moved back to Georgia, we sold our house because we knew we could not afford the payment, we could pay off some debt and also we could put some money in savings...hence the "safety net". Well that is all it was..."safety". Keeping me from worry, keeping me from really budgeting,and keeping me from trusting God. We have had many blessings in our new journey to help with Reveal Church. We are living in a home for free (just paying utilities, water, etc.)and this is huge! Shea got a job that is not too far from where we are living to help with some of our "bills" because we are not being supported from the church yet. But all that to say we have been living off Shea's earnings and our savings for about 5 months now. I thought we were doing okay, but some things have come up: we got in a wreck, gas prices, and some bigger utility bills. A few weeks ago I realized that the net is GONE! We had been dipping into the "net" because our bills (this is just normal stuff) are more than Shea is making. So this is where life gets interesting, where God wants us. Total dependence and trust in Him. Being called to do something for God is not always the easy route. It can sometimes be very trying. If it was easy, then I wouldn't learn or appreciate what God is doing. I would be tempted to keep doing what I am doing and do it with my own strength. Even though this is hard and scary...I am excited. This is where God has to step in and show his glory. My net is gone and now I am resting in the arms of Jesus...letting Him have control!

What about you...what has been your "net" lately?

8 months ago....

Keegan was making her way into the world. I can't believe it has already been 8 months! Some things about her:

1. She crawls (army style..on arms and belly) all over the place and she is FAST! She can do it the normal way, but gets too tired holding up that big belly...=)
2. She can sit up from a crawling position...good skill!
3. She has started pulling up on everything 2 weeks ago and her face has all the bruises to prove it.
4. She can climb up stairs- found this out this weekend when I couldn't find her in my parents house...only to see her 3 stairs up- yes...I freaked!
5. She wants to walk so bad, but just doesn't have the balance or "strength" just yet.
6. She loves FOOD....if she had any teeth I would probably start trying to give her some "adult food"...because she grunts for mine all the time.
7. She doesn't have any teeth yet...I think she has been "teething" for 2 weeks now...where are those teeth?
8. She has the best laugh and you can make her laugh so easily!
9. She loves her big sister...I wish I could capture her face in the mornings when we go in to see her...it is so adorable.
10. She loves her Daddy and loves to play with him...her face lights up when he gets home!
11. She has the loudest scream ever! =) (in my opinion)
12. She "rocks" her whole body when she hears any kind of music or beat...I love it!
13. She is a Momma's girl all the way!
14. I love those big blue eyes...My sister always said I had the "precious moments" eyes...I think she inherited them.

I love ya Keegan...can't wait for a million more months together!
