Life Happens between the crisiss

Life Happens between the crisis I hear a very profound statement. And It really put me to thinking. You know I like to ponder things. Well this one has been rolling around in my brain for a while. And this morning I felt the need to share. As you all know I've had Lydia Grace on my mind strong all week. I have shoved her down your throat because I was terrified, that God might call that baby home. I truly believe in perfect healing and I believe that's when we stand in front of our wonderful Savior Jesus Christ. But I knew that would destroy her mama and daddy. So, I have prayed and prayed that God's will would be to heal her here on Earth. I use this as an example of a big event in our lives. The thought proving statement was " Life is what happens between the big events of our life". This is so true. The little things we do day to day are really the important ones. Talking to God every morning. Reading in my Bible every day. Listening to the Doves call outside my windows. They did this all day yesterday. Getting caught up on my crochet. Sending someone happy PIE day probably on the wrong day. Telling the carpet layers if they can't make my Seam any better, I will be happy with it. Cooking Mac and Cheese with Chelsea where we throw about a million calories of extra cheese, butter and milk in it. My sweet son cooking chicken on his smoker for Chelsea, me and L-Rod. Watching Chelsea sit on my couch and see that secret smile when her little man has turned a flip. Having all of RJ's fabric collected. The peace of the morning and a good cup of coffee. The fact that I was able to kinda vacuum half the living room yesterday, then my back died. Hearing Possum, the donkey Bray. Getting to enjoy watching Cater at his critter birthday party. Striving to bring smiles to everyone I come in contact with. That is how I want people to see God in me. I want them to see my joy. I love giving gifts. I will have to cut back on that for a while. Not getting upset because we're broke...lol...poor is in the eye of the beholder. I am poor in money. I am rich in love. I am ready for the next crisis, trouble, trial, horrendous catastrophe that may hit my life. But until that happens, I plan to live my life 1 second one minute 1 hour one day at a time. I plan to try Show Jesus in my actions and each of these minutes seconds hours Dey while I live my life. Sometimes it's hard. Sometimes we want to throw up our hands and scream. Even if it's a good day but we have to trust God and live our lives between the crisis God is with us then just to see is when the horrible things happened. And we should feel as close if not closer to him during those sweet peaceful times when my dads are coming when my donkey is praying Aubrey is giggling over helping me bathe bitsy and Grammys Big Tub. Carter is so excited about his Critter party that he lets the man put a snake around his neck. Kind of a trial for Grammy but he was pretty good with it. We don't need to just spend our days waiting on the next big horrible thing to happen because we live our lives between the big things the horrible things and that really touched my heart when I heard it I hope you think about it I hope you ponder it I hope you smile at somebody today that has no smile I hope you do something that would bring a little joy to someone's heart that doesn't have any or watch something like a bird or a mama carrying a baby this feeling it flip and see the Joy on her face or a little bitty girl running around and around and around in your living room or there's no furniture. Squealing and laughing and bringing Joy to Your Heart and let's not think about what the next catastrophe might be, because we know God will be there, he will hold our hand, he will take us in his hand, he will lift us up he will see us through whatever horrendous catastrophe that my hit our life. But until that happens, I plan to live my life one second, one minute, one hour, one day at a time. I plan to try show Jesus in my actions, daily actions, while I live my life. Sometimes it's hard. Sometimes we want to throw our hands up and hands scream. Even if it's a good day but we have to trust God and live our lives between each crisis. God is with us through everything. I know he see you when the horrible things happened, is it a test to grow your faith. Is it for someone who is watching your life, to see how you handle those crises? And that is when we should feel the closest to him. I feel close to him during the sweet peaceful time when my doves are coming, my donkey is braying, when Aubrey is giggling over helping me bathe Bitz in Grammys big tub. At Carter's birthday party. He was so excited about his critter party. He let the man put a snake around his neck. Kind of a trial for Grammy but he was pretty cool with it. We don't need to just spend our days waiting on the next big horrible thing to happen because we our lives between the big things the horrible things. That one statement really touched my heart when I heard it. I hope you think about it. I hope you ponder it in your heart. I hope you smile at somebody today that has no smile. I hope you do just one little something that would bring a little joy to someone's hard day. It doesn’t have to be anything big, just watch something like a bird fly land and start cooking. Or a pregnant mama that's baby that is turning flips and see the joy on her face. Or a little bitty girl running around
and around and around, your living room that has no furniture. Take the time to enjoy your time between the crisis. Because we know God will be there with us and he will take us by the hand, he will even pick us up in his Hand and hold us during the crisis. Enjoy your time between the trials, that's where we really live our lives. Enjoy some flowers. Love you.

Baby Davis

Below is the only picture we have of Baby Davis. It's a beautiful baby. But can you tell from this one and only picture if it is a Girl or a Boy....lol...I think not. It is so funny, how everyone knows what Chelsea and Shawn's baby is when they don't even know.... It's rather funny to me.  Girl or Boy we plan to love that little Davis with all our hearts. They will find out Wednesday Valentine's day. How precious is that, just the two of them will know for 9 whole days before they announce. I'm going to be miserable but, I think I love how they kept it a secret for 10 weeks from most of us. I think the siblings knew. But not mama. Lol... I told her not to tell a soul. (Anna doesn't count in that because she is Chelsea's left half) Anna lock it up tight, not a peep even to the boys. Lol... We will all find out at the same time. Im so excited. Chelsea comes and lays on my couch and said yesterday day the baby tuned a flip. Lol... I love it. What I want to tell Shawn and Chelsea is to enjoy every second of every part of this mirical that God has blessed them with. It has worked out where Shawn is getting to go to every doctors visit. I think that's great. Rodney never got to hear a heart beat until we were in labor hooked up to the monitor. Enjoy your very special day Wednesday. And the 9 days you get to have a secret that no one else knows. My best advice is that y'all do what you think is best for your baby in your home. Hold that baby 24/7 if you want, and don't let anyone tell you your spoiling it.  Just look at our other 3 and see how often you just get to hold them.( Not to often)
This below is the advice you need to follow and it has nothing to do with what I think, this is the Bible talking to you now. Read God's word and raise your baby by his grace and mercy and you want go wrong.

Proverbs 22 (NIV)
22 A good name is more desirable than great riches;
    to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.2 Rich and poor have this in common:
    The Lord is the Maker of them all.3 The prudent see danger and take refuge,
    but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.4 Humility is the fear of the Lord;
    its wages are riches and honor and life.5 In the paths of the wicked are snares and pitfalls,
    but those who would preserve their life stay far from them.
6 Start children off on the way they should go,
    and even when they are old they will not turn from it. 

Jeremiah 1:5 New International Version (NIV)
5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew[a] you,
    before you were born I set you apart;
    I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

Isaiah 44:24 English Standard Version (ESV)
24 Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer,
    who formed you from the womb:
“I am the Lord, who made all things,
    who alone stretched out the heavens,
    who spread out the earth by myself,

Isaiah 49:15 English Standard Version (ESV)
15 “Can a woman forget her nursing child,
    that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb?
Even these may forget,
    yet I will not forget you.

Psalm 71:6 English Standard Version (ESV)
6 Upon you I have leaned from before my birth;
    you are he who took me from my mother's womb.
My praise is continually of you.

Galatians 1:15 English Standard Version (ESV)
15 But when he who had set me apart before I was born,[a] and who called me by his grace,

15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
