Octuplets Mother & family

When this story first broke into the news I have to regretfully admit that I was very harsh and judgemental in my opinions of the situation. Now that more time has gone by I have stepped back and been reminded of my personal faith. God DOES NOT make mistakes and EVERY baby is created for a reason. Eggs don't accidentally split and pregnancies aren't magically carried to viability. God has his hand and purpose in every life that he brings. It came to me today in prayer, yes I was praying for all those babies (the new ones and older siblings) that I'm not meant to understand all of his ways, he knows what he is doing and that is all that matters. I am now inspired and excited to see what God has planned for each of those babies and also intrigued to see how God puts people in their lives to help them morally, religiously, and financially grow to their fullest capabilities. Just as the Jews looked down on Mary our society is looking down on this mother, no I'm not implying that she is a chosen mother of the son of God or should be held up religiously, my point is that they couldn't comprehend the weight of the destiny that baby Jesus was about to fulfill just as we can not see into each of these children's future paths. It is our job as society to help this mother pull herself up and guide this 14 souls into salvation and to do Gods will and work. Just think what all those minds and hands could do in the name of God if giving the right tools and knowledge to grow as believers and doers... So this is my challenge to all of my Friends and family in faith, pray for them... pray for them often, that God is at a steady work carving away and molding them into amazing guiding lights to do his very will.

**The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.(Isaiah 11:6)

Feb is half way over!

Feb is half way over and I just realized spring break is around the corner! Looks like we will be taking the girls to Sea world again this year.. If I haven't told you already we have another new addition to our family. I came home last week from taking Madalyn and Alden to school and there was a little puppy shivering and very thin in our front yard. I was able to get him to follow me inside and Haley and I fed him and snuggled him to warm him up. With in an hour he was glued to my side and still thinks he should be my shadow. I did all the right things, I called the shelters and reported him found and also went to see if he had a chip. He did but it was never registered... he has a broken tail and a badly broken nail so Felipe and I decided that maybe God sent him to us so we would love him and care for him the way he should be. Flower Mound has a rule that you have to wait 5 days after finding a pet then you can claim it as your own... well day 5 was up this morning so he is officially ours!! YAYAY I think we are def going to need a bigger house VERY soon : ) I think that's all of the latest excitement with us and I will post new pics of all of us very soon. Thanks for checking on us!
