I am so thankful that the Lord allows us to just continue moving on despite our mistakes and messups. And there are plenty of those. Another shot out to my husband... given the current market and how things are right now... it would be a great time to throw it all in and just give up completely... but no...that is not Brandon, he is working so hard these days. He got a GREAT job at Accu Brick as a project manager. The Lord could not have timed this job any better. The housing market crashes and we are not sure what to do and boom this is thrown in our lap along with building their office building. Amazing. He is working a normal day from about 4:30 ( ups) till around 7 or so at night. Pretty tired in the evenings but we are thankful for it. He is an amazing husband and father to me and to the girls. We started a tradition that I heard a lady share about recently. If daddy is home for supper we light a candle, and eat by candlelight. He normally will be but has been working late the past few weeks so tonight we got to light the candle. Aleeza was so excited. I am so thankful for him.
I am still keeping a little boy full time and a little girl here an there. I am thankful for this "job" also. The Lord just continues to show His face to us. It is amazing to see what He is doing in our lives. I have been told recently but a few close people that they don't know how I do it, how do you live day to day not knowing what the day holds? Do any of us know what it holds though. I contribute all the glory and praise to God. We have been memorizing and meditating on a verse out of Habukkuk 3:17-19lately. The short of it "I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation." What else do we need to do?
The girls are good and getting big. Would still appreciate a special prayer for Maddie that she would start sleeping completly through the nigth. I was spoiled I think formula feeding my other two, but nursing is a tad different. I think she is just spoiled and in a rut I can't seem to break. Every morning around 3.....Hopefully soon. :)
Pictures to come soon... when I have a chance again to sit down and type some!!

ashley,
praise the lord for your good attitude about trusting the lord for the next day's needs. you will look back when things are better and see how these experiences built your faith and trust in the lord. he promises to never leave his people w/o their daily bread.
about nursing, my abigail did the same thing. it wasn't until i let her cry 2 nights that she never did it again. it was the hardest thing i ever did. she was waking up 4 or 5 times to get a drink. i was a zombie. when she learned that she wasn't gonna get any, she stopped waking up. i hope you will be able to break her soon.
and nursing is so worth the trouble. i nursed abigail until she was 17 months old.
keep on keeping on!!! lori
Hey! I nursed both of mine and they slept through the night early. Let her cry. . . It's worth it. ;o) Your faith testimony is a blessing.
