0 Hannah's Prayer

First Samuel tells the story of a woman named Hannah that desperately wanted to bear a child.  The Lord had closed her womb and she became very bitter and wept much while praying to the Lord.  She made a vow, saying, "O Lord Almighty, if you will only look upon your servant's misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the Lord for all the days of his life, and no razor will ever be used on his head" (1 Samuel...

2 5 Months Old

Y'all, Adeline and Maralee are five months old!  Wow, has time flown or what?! I love these outfits!  Adeline and Maralee5 monthsMom and I took the girls to the eye doctor and their eyes are really looking good.  They are far-sighted (which is good for babies) and don't need glasses.  Also, they are not in need of laser surgery for their retinas.  I ran into another NICU mom at the eye doctor and her little boy had to have the laser surgery. ...

So, Raleigh and I have been doing some car shopping.  Before we had the girls, we thought we would have enough room for our new additions in the two cars we currently own.  Well, after a couple of trips to Dothan, we have soon realized that we are crammed pretty tight in our "big" car.  I try my hardest to pack light, but between two adults, two babies, and two dogs we are becoming a very close family on our car rides home!   When we travel on Raleigh's...

Crazy Love Overwhelmed By A Relentless God Francis Chan Description: God is love. Crazy, relentless, all-powerful love. Have you ever wondered if we’re missing it? It’s crazy, if you think about it. The God of the universe—the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor—loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss. Whether you’ve verbalized...

0 Point of View

God continues to answer my prayers.  He continually provides for my family and shows us that He is totally in control of our lives.  He hears my pleas and He shows me His ways for the health of our girls.  I am in awe of His timing and His plans for our future.  This past Friday we received an excellent report from our pediatrician.  After eight weeks, he gave us permission to cautiously start taking the girls out in public.  We need to avoid...

Marching Band MusicOur neighborhood has two small colleges that surround it and I love hearing the marching bands practice as we go on our afternoon strolls.  Something about hearing the beat of the drum and the blast of the trumpet just puts some pep in my step!  When we were at Auburn, I loved hearing the band play because they made the football games so much fun!  Marching Band Music = Fun Fall Football Games!

2 Bad Boy

The past week has been really fun watching the girls grow.  Last Thursday, they both weighed in at 7.1 pounds!  We had to pack up some of the preemie sleepers...very bittersweet!  Movin' on up to tiny newborn clothes! Since we have reached the seven pound mark, they are really starting to progress developmentally.  They have started to focus on us when we talk to them and they like to look at the hanging toys on their swings and chairs.  It has...

Hey friends, Below is this month's memory verse.  My church is memorizing this scripture and they showed a video of a little girl that had memorized it....so cute!  If she can do it, so can we!!!!  I think it is awesome that parents are teaching their children scripture at such a young age...it is being planted in their minds and hearts so they can remember it as they grow!  This month we are just doing this one scripture since it is longer.  Happy Memorizing! The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want; he makes me lie down in green pastures.  He leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul.  He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. ...

We want to thank our friend Jessica Seagraves for being the first to share her testimony with the world on The Uncontainable Truth.  You can follow Jessica over at A Whatley World. Trusting the Truth My whole life I have struggled with fears and insecurities. In the last year I have finally grabbed hold of what was causing this to haunt me. My parents got divorced when I was 2 ½ months old. Between the ages of 3 and 4, I was sexually abused by my father. Even just writing those words feels strange. Father is the correct word, because this man was never my Dad. For years, after school when most kids were just playing outside I was going to counseling multiple days a week. I didn’t even...
