Please Pray

James is going to try to get our windows this afternoon. This is the second time we have tried to do this. So we are really hoping that things will work out this time with everyone's schedule. James flight comes in around 2:15 so we are hoping that by 3:00 he can be at GBS to look at the windows. So if you think about us pray that everything will work out. This is holding us up.

I have been blessed

I hear other girls talk about how they don't get along with their mother-in-law, and it makes me appreciate mine so much more. Since I first met my mother-in-law she has been so kind to me. She has had a lot of good reasons not to like me, and not to want me to marry her son. She had a right to fear for her son. She had a right to be wary of me and she was. Even for that I am thankful! It just shows me how much she really cares. And now we have a great relationship. I have a great relationship with both of my in-laws. They have had two other daughter-in-laws in the past and both of them caused a lot of hurt in the family. I am just so happy that we have each other now. Our relationship has grown into something wonderful. And I know that they know and believe that i really do love their son, and that I am going to do whatever i need to do to make out marriage work. And they also know that I am going to do whatever i need to do to make my relationship with them work. I love them. My mother in law and i went shopping together for the first time yesterday. It was just us, no guys allowed. We had so much fun! I wasn't really looking forward to doing some shopping that i really needed to do, but she came along and it made all the difference in the world. =)


I truly have been blessed in so many ways! I just wanted to share that. =)

Life happens

Guess it's just the way life goes. This week was supposed to be filled with house plans and baby shower planning. Not my baby shower of course. I am throwing a shower for a friend. That is just what was supposed to be happening this week. Instead James was sent to Maryland until Friday and I am here to do all my baby shower planning on my own. Which means no house plans this week. =( I am a little disappointed about it, but you know...life happens. I have however made plans for James to look and hopefully purchase our windows and a few doors Friday afternoon when he returns home. We really need to get this done and out of the way as soon as possible. I work for a lumber company and we are hoping to be able to get some windows from the bone yard. The bone yard is stuff that was special ordered and then was unwanted. It is perfectly great stuff at what we hope will be a very discounted price. Anyway, we can't move forward with the house plans until we have these window. So this is really holding us up, and if we don't get it done before this weekend we will have to wait for another week or so. The man that we are supposed to talk to about it is going to be out of town. This whole house building thing is fun and frustrating all at the same time. I know it's kind of early, but i have been looking at paint colors and stuff. That is going to be the funnest part for me. =) It's a little pre-mature I know, but it keeps me going and make all the not so fun stuff a little easier.

All of this stuff reminded me of Ecclesiastes 3

1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?

10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.

11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so
that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.

13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.

14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.

16 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.

17 I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.

18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.

19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.

20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.

21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?

22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?


There is a time for everything. I know that one of these days we will have a house. In God's time.
