got a name?

For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. For, "All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever." 1 Peter 1:23-25 (NIV)
Today i read this and began to Praise God that he does stand forever and hasn't failed me!. Even though i may get discouraged from this world I can always stand on the word. Not saying it is always easy but when you actually live in the spirit life is just better!

Today i woke up to the kids coming in my room. Usually on school days i have to get them out of bed. Someone must be praying for me. The reason i say this is because spencer is out of town and you know the joys of getting the kids ready for school by yourself. Not exactly fun. So we all got ready and it wasn't bad at all. Although I did give in to giving Luke frosted mini-wheats. We were waiting to open this box of cereal until we finish at least one of the other open boxes. Ha o-well the things we do for a little peace and not hearing the boohooing from kids. lol

Spencer has the truck so I had to call James the taxi. he actually got here a little early so i was pleased. So today i need to clean my house, do laundry and take a nap.lol i love the excuses of being pregnant.

So the other day we finally got our christmas packages in the mail. After a whole 2 months that it took. They arrived in fairly good shape. After getting the ants off of my laffy taffy and scrapping them off of my Velveeta cheese life was good. Yes i still kept the cheese and candy - I figured hey - ants can't be that bad, i once ate a chocolate covered ant and survived and cheese is way more important than chocolate. :)

Spencer is with the General Superintendent for the Church of the Nazarene - Dr.Graves. We ate a late dinner with them the other night and really enjoyed being with them. Him and his wife are here for a conference with our field. That is where spencer is today and yesterday and tomorrow.

Okay all for now I am online about to watch the conference.
Love all yall and remember... still looking for that one of a kind, cool name for our baby boy! : )

thanks for bringing fruit roll-ups Blake and Lindsey!

So it is raining cats and dogs here... well maybe monkeys and giraffes. Seriously it is raining here like never before... or at least we have never seen it rain like this before. We have a million leaks in our house. Okay okay maybe about 20 or so.
Okay so I got the weather conversation out of the way.

Tomorrow we go for our ultrasound to measure the baby and ya know see what we are having. A boy or girl that is :) I am just about 19 weeks along. I am beginning to start to feel the baby although not very strong yet.
We will have to taxi there because our truck is in the hospital... i mean shop. Not sure exactly when we will get it back. Hopefully Monday or Tuesday. Not fun being without wheels. But i guess i am getting more exercise this way.

Life here seems to be getting easier. It is nice to have new missionaries on the compound with us. As i think back on how far we have come I give all the Praise to God. Moving and transitioning life into yet another culture is... well hard to explain. Life is different but also the same. I serve the same God in every culture. Although the worship maybe different in our churches I serve the same One and only God.
Continue to be on this journey with us. Be in prayer for us and with us. To God be the Glory!

Okay love all yall and I do promise to get back into blogging more often. Really I do!
and remember...... make sure you take all the paper off the fruit roll-up before you start eating the yummy part.... the plastic isn't so yummy.
