Dream come true

Since I've become a mommy, I have wanted to learn to sew. So last month, I sewed a little skirt for Abigail with the help of a good friend. And then I decided to hem Esther's onesie that I really liked. It was getting to tight on her. Here are the pics!









My goal in sewing is to be able to sew my children stuff for holidays and to teach my kids how to sew as they grow up.

My Father in Heaven, I thank You for the people you have put in my life. Thank You for my children and husband. Thank you for being a patient and loving God. Continue to teach my kids through teaching me and help me remember the Kingdom picture in their lives. In Jesus' name I ask this, AMEN.

month of june

wow i didn't even blog what we did in may. may was so busy. summer started and we've just been able to do so much more outdoors.

June
week 1 Titus 2:11-12 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age,
week 2 same as week 1
week 3 Proverbs 1:8-9 Listen, my son, to your father's instruction, and do not forget your mother's teaching, for they will be a garland of grace on your head and a [gold] chain around your neck.
week 4 Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will navigate your path.
week 5 Provers 3:7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil.

Someone recommended Dr. Leman to me two months ago, so I decided to check them out at the library. I am finishing "Have a new kid by Friday" and in the middle of "the new birth order book". I am gonna go check out the "making your kids mind without losing yours" after i finish FOTF's "guide to growing a healthy home" and "great stories remember 2". "have a new kid by Friday" is interesting. it's a well written, esay-to-read book with lots of stories and humor. Leman put into words a lot of what we have been doing in our home, which is a great affirmation for me. i have been trying to apply a couple of new things on my kids though. fun stuff. the birth order book is teaching me about why my kids r how they r and myself too since im a middle child. it helps me see pass their annoying side. hahaha.

we are going on vacation at the great wolf on the 14-17th. It will be GREAT! I can't wait!

Lord God, thank You for my family. The children You've given us are so precious and special. They are growing so fast. Help me to teach and model worship, godliness, purity, discernment, wisdom, maturity, the fruits of the Spirit, righteousness, justice, and grace for them. I pray that You will continue to reveal Yourself to each one of our children and bring them to You, oh God! Walk with them and draw them to You. Give them godly wisdom and discernment. Continue to work among this family and help us to glorify You in everything we do, eat, and drink. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
