1 Six Months Old

 Maralee & Adeline It is so hard to believe that another month has gone by and our girls are now six months old!  In six more months they will be one!!!!!  They always say that time flies as you get older, and I really do feel like it has flown by these past three months of them being home with us.  I am a pretty sentimental person but I am trying to not linger on the memories and enjoy the present.  These girls are growing up right in front...

0 Technical Upgrades

I wanted to give everyone a heads up that over the upcoming week Raleigh will be doing some major technical work on the blog.  We are going to start self hosting the blog soon - this will allow us to have more features that we currently cannot.  We should be back up and fully running by this time next week.  There will still be posts going out this week and should be able to still view all of the older stuff as well. The important thing to remember is that the www.theuncontainabletruth.com is down, but we will still be available with full content on www.theuncontainabletruth.blogspot.com during the upgrade process.  Also, you can still read individual post through Facebook...

So I was going through the ole' digital photo album the other day and came across this little photo, which other than pictures of our girls - is just the cutest thing!   Yep, this was Obi when he was just a pup!  He's so tiny and cute.  We couldn't find his breed anywhere around here so we had to get him online.  I found a breeder and we were given first pick of the litter.  We were shown this little adorable fellow and another that was wearing...

2 Under Pressure

This month I realized that I put too much pressure on myself to succeed.  This revelation occurred to me last Monday as our family was driving to Dothan.  The warm haziness of the sun had just drifted beyond reach and darkness started to set in as we drove south on Highway 231.  Raleigh and I had been in a tizzy earlier that day and we were finally discussing our gripes with one another.  Lately, I have been a bit of a grinch.  My tongue has been...

Happy 1st of November Everyone! I started to think about what verse I wanted to memorize this month and the word prayer kept coming into my heart.  Lately, our small group has been talking a lot about how powerful prayer truly is.  We have been saying that prayer is what brings us closer to God and it deepens our relationship with Him.  But, it is also a way for us to listen to what he is telling us to do.   Prayer is a necessity in our pursuit of living our lives like Christ.  So, this month I wanted 2 Corinthians 13:8-9 to be my memory verse. For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.  We are glad whenever we are weak but you are...

Harry Potter is a household name these days, however some prefer to think of him as he who must not be named.  Whether it's the critically acclaimed seven part book series by author J.K. Rowling or the billion dollar blockbuster films - Harry Potter is everywhere.  I thought with Halloween upon us and the release of Part I of the final Harry Potter film this November we should kick this hornets nest and see what kind of discussion we can stir up. For those unfamiliar...

0 Two by Two

The month of October has flown by!!!!  I am behind on some of my posts, but I will try and get caught up this week so y'all can see what all we have been doing.  This past Sunday, we attended our church's Fall Festival.  It was a Trunk or Treat and it was so much fun.  A little overwhelming, but also really fun at the same time!!!  We decided to dress our family up like Noah's Ark and the girls were little lambs.  They were too stinkin' cute!!!!!!!!

Many, when asked about different fears, rank the fear of public speaking right up there with the fear of death. Now that I have encountered both, I would agree that they both elicit about the same level of fear. So this morning I would like to teach on and have a conversation about fear; let’s just not call it public speaking. Fear is the emotion that arises when we feel threatened by a physical or emotional or even spiritual danger, whether real or imaginary. Since we live in a dangerous world, fear is a universal and inevitable part of the human condition. Some people experience fear relatively rarely, and for others it is very common. Some primarily experience fear acutely, while others...

3 Check Out My New Ride

 So, we finally decided that we wanted to seriously consider becoming the next Swagger Wagon family.  While we were on our car search, I drove the newest model here in Montgomery and loved it.  It had DVD players, reclining bucket seats, seat warmers, sun roof, both sliding doors and the trunk opened automatically....it had everything that you could want.  After driving that van, I told Raleigh that I was okay driving a van but I wanted the coolest one...

2 For Me Mommy

So, I have a confession to make.  We did not run in the Montgomery Half-Marathon.  I know, I know, I had this whole great motivating post about how we would run in it for the girls but.....it just didn't happen.  There is really no need for excuses but I do have one :)  It just got hard to find time to run.  And, we couldn't run with the girls and we would rather spend our time with them instead of running.  There.  I said it!  I would...
