Is 55:8-9 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways my ways" says the Lord. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."

A Little Getaway!
Well hello! Sorry for the lack of updated posts :) I have so much to share about our adoption day and what we did to celebrate! I will hopefully get to that before the weekend's over...For now though, here are some pictures from the last three days...My girlfriend (who used to live here~ten houses down to be exact) and I met half way in Redding to hang out while my hubby went down south to Shepherd's Conference...We rented a couple of hotel rooms that join and just had a wonderful time! Together we had six kiddos! They are such a joy! But man, after three days of being with my toddlers, I was ready to have some SPACE, literally! Christie, you are so dear to my heart, I am thankful God saw fit to bring us together five years ago:), and I am thankful God gave us the blessing of three days to catch up and hang out!...
We went to a neat place called "Turtle Bay"...It was like an aqaurium/museum... This is my special friend...Ha ha...Love you girl!
If you ever go through Redding, you gotta check out this awesome "Sundial" bridge! Very cool!!
We are learning as a family to love Christ and treasure Him above all things in this world. Nothing compares to knowing Him and His saving grace on sinners such as ourselves!! I (the mom) am the blogger here. As the years go by, God is teaching just how prideful I am and how desperately humble he needs to make me. I like to say that as I get to know Christ more, I see my sinful self more and more clearly, it's not pretty. But I have hope! Cause "he's still workin' on me, to make me what I ought to be"! I am married to my best friend and the one who never ceases to bless my life year after year...We have four children, two born of our hearts and two bio children, who bring such joy to our home! And let's not forget to mention lots of blessed "craziness"!!!
God has been teaching us that the things that we have and own, our talents, our gifts, our time all belong to us to show the world who Christ is and to enjoy laying down our own lives that another might recieve JOY!
