i was just listening to a message by Ken Ortize (definitely my favorite pastor to listen to) he has been going through 1 John and although it has been a month or maybe even a little more since i last listened to a message not even 10 minutes into it and i was struck by something he said. I don't think i can exactly quote what he said but this is the jist of it.
We only become significant when we are in the will of God for our lives. He used examples of Moses and Abraham where the bible doesn't record huge chunks of time in there lives but only the times when they were doing, acting, in God's specific will for their lives.
Anyways, there were a few other things that stuck out but that was the main one and i need to go work out and then off to bed, i have to get up and take Josiah to the bus in the morning...it's been a lazy week of vacation with many days of sleeping in so I am praying i get up in time tomorrow.

Yesterday Judah let me buy a jogging stroller off of craigslist. It's a Schwinn double jogger with the swivel wheel in front. WooHoo I am so excited to have it. Compared to the the joovy sit and stand i had this stroller handles so much better, so easy to push and both Jaelle and Enoch can sit (and nap!) So we took it out for a test run I was able to walk around for about a hour and a half without the kids whining or fighting about sitting in the front seat it was great. Enoch slept for most of the time then he woke up crabby super crabby so we ended the walk and went home. But I am so very thankful for the new stroller!
On a different note, the kids are finally started to feel a little better today. Josiah I noticed being extra tired and a little listless, last Thursday and Friday and then on Saturday is when he came down with the fever. So he has been ill for about 5 days and today I got an email from his teacher (sent to all the parents) saying that in his class 13 kids (out of 24) were home sick on Monday and today there were 11 home sick. All with the same thing, fevers with stomach aches and/or a cough. But he hasn't had a fever today so long as he is feeling okay in the morning I am going to let him go to school.
Josiah read to me a book called My "K" book all on his own and as his reward he got a new nerf sword. (all his other swords are in pieces or already thrown away) I also found this big book of poetry at the thrift store the other day which i am enjoying a lot it is a treasury of poetry, selected and commentary-ed by Louis Untermeyer from 1959. It's great!
And the last bit of news with us is Enoch has officially been weaned from his nuk! It has been about three weeks or so that he has gone without it! He still asks for it on occasion when he's really crabby or tired and is chewing on other not as badly as I thought he would. After the first two days without it he had woken up the middle of the night screaming and crying a little bit very mad because he didn't have his nuk but wanted it But thankfully it only happened once and hasn't happened since then. Now if only I could get the other two to stop sucking their thumbs!
