Random Ramblings

---I hate mortgage companies.

---Rachel went potty on the toilet three times today! She just took her diaper off and told us she had to go. We didn't prompt or anything. After potty training four kids, I've pertty much given up on trying to train them. I let them do it themselves...lol! Save us both the power struggle!

---My nails are a hidious hot pink...Mallory chose the color. She loves it, and it looks great on her, but I'm pretty sure I will be getting some looks from people!

Sleepy Girl!

She did not get a nap in today. Can you tell?

Living a Life of Example

When my Grandma Pearl passed away I asked that the the one thing I wanted of hers was her Bible. My Bible was out in the car the other day when I went to do my daily reading. So I picked up my grandma's Bible and got so much more than a few chapters of reading done. The words that she wrote, the highlighting, the thoughts she wrote down, were so encouraging to me. It was as if God knew I needed to look at her Bible for the encouragement she left behind. My grandmothers life was full of God. She trusted Him and loved Him with all her heart. To this day the Godly life she lead is still being and example to me. I cherish her Bible, because it was so much a part of who she was. I have inspirational thoughts, words of wisdom in her perspective of who she believed God was. One of the verses she had written down on the front of her Bible was Proverbs 3:6. It says "in all your ways acknowledge Hm and He will make your paths straight." From what I saw in my grandmas life she lived this way. She acknowledged the Lord in all she did and was blessed with a wonderful life, and blessed others lives around her and is now being rewarded with eternal life in heaven.

My prayer is the I can live a life of example, acknowledging the Lord in all I do. That maybe someday my children and their children will love the Lord with all their heart, because in some small way I showed by example the love of Christ to them because of the love for the Lord my grandma showed me.

Derby Race

Dalton's cub scout group had their annual derby car race last night. It was a lot of fun. Dalton's car didn't do so hot but Dalton, his friends and Jack had fun during the races. Thankfully in the last heat he came in first place.
