Lately

Inspired by some of my favorite folks at Two-Point Perspective, I shall blog today.

Things in the thriving country of Wood-Squared are clicking along quite nicely. I've moved on to the last Percy Jackson book (The Last Olympian) and I'm still working on Adopted for Life. I As of today I have finished Romans, and I suppose I'll move on to 1 Corinthians, though I'm contemplating reading Galatians. I know, I'm sure you're all on the edge of your seat waiting to know what I'll read next!! :)

Little Stinker is growing, growing, growing. Three of his teeth have broken through, and I think three more are on their way! His current interests are anything that Momma or Daddy is holding... Pens, utensils, BIBLES, books, safety pins, if we're holding it, he wants it! He can get up on his hands and knees and "bounce," but can't quite get himself moving forward yet (thank goodness). I think that means we've got to start baby-proofing the house. Wooo hooo!

Timothy is doing well, of course! His job is great and we are so thankful to the Lord for that. He is good at what he does, and it seems like the Lord taylor-made this job for him.

There are lots of things rattling around in my head to write about. We are looking toward where the Lord is leading us as a family. We've always wanted to adopt, so we are looking at what changes we have to make in our life to get that accomplished We're praying for the children that God would have for us, whether they share our DNA or not. Little Man just loooooves the other kids at church, so we think he'd like some siblings, sooner or later.

Other than that, we are sooo thankful for our happy little life. We may not be famous, we may not be rich, but we are SO RICH with blessings. We have friends who are as close as family, a sweet marriage, an adorable kid, and the merciful love and GRACE from the Father through the Son who sacrificed for us. Lord, let us live in humble submission to You!!

What to do, what to dooo....

I've been thinking about this blogging thing, and I want to keep it up...


Something that excites me is reading, so I was inspired by this blog to post what I am reading.

At the moment, I am reading:

Romans (I'm on chapter 9! yippeee!)
The Titan's Curse (Percy Jackson and the Olympians book 3)

I'm hoping to finish these books and let you know what I think about them. Maybe it will be helpful, and maybe it won't, but at least it will keep me reading the good stuff.

My housewifery skills are coming along, slowly but surely. I mopped the floor today and pretended to be an Olympic curler, so that was fun! "HHHHAAAARRRRDDD!!!!" Today is laundry and anythingIcandowhilethebabyissleeping cleaning day! Yippee!! So, load one is in the dryer, load two is on its way to the washer, and the floor is mopped. Next? Probably lunch. Then, I'll try to clear off my bed from the weekend...

Speaking of, we went to the Sola Gratia conference at Countryside Bible Church in Southlake, Tx. I enjoyed it immensely. We got to hear Richard Phillips, Dr. Russell Moore, and Dr. John Hannah. Dr. Hannah is actually the reason Hubby likes John Owen so much, and that is the reason O got his name!! :) Dr. Hannah's last talk was my favorite. It was how we practially root out sin!!!

Oh no, Little Man is upset... Guess I should have used the blogging time to eat lunch.

Helllooooooo again! I've come to accept the fact that I am a terrrrrrrrrrible blogger. But on the upside, I am becoming a better listener! I've had two recent opportunities to be the listener in a social situation, and I FINALLY found my self really listening and processing what the other person says, and not just thinking of the next thing I am going to say. I'm praying to be a "agent of sharpening" in the lives of the women I'm close to, just as these women are CONSTANTLY sharpening me. And that is a very, very good thing.

On the baby front, we're doing better and better. He's starting to eat real food and he enjoys most of it. He is NOT a fan of peas, and squash is not a fan of him. It seems the "carb-y" foods make his reflux FLAIR up.

I'm learning about being a mom and house wife... Loving my husband, keeping house, raising Owen as the Lord would have me.
