He has been scooting himself backwards for about 3 weeks now. He just crawled officially and purposely towards me!
I had to document so he (in 30 years ) will know I paid attention to him!
I Love this little squirt!

Tests, Trials & Miracles...
This past week has been a whirlwind of emotions. A dear friend of mine has been through a total ringer/trauma of a lifetime. Her sweet husband was hit by a Super-Duty truck going 60+ MPH. She witnessed it.
If I had written this post last week, it would have been bleak, to say the least. It was a minute by minute change in status. He had numerous internal wounds, and was prayed back to health & safety. Yesterday he was out of bed WALKING! Honestly. I am amazed.
Learning the lessons the Lord has in mind for us, are not easy, nor is it comfortable. We are pushed, shoved and sometimes PUMMELED into submission, to become what He wants us to be.
I am making it a personal goal to be humble and submissive to the Lords will. I do not want to be compelled to be humble. humility is not my strong suit. I have an independent streak a mile wide. I like to do it on my own, on my terms and in my schedule.
Not always conducive to be a servant in His hands, to be able to grasp towards the goal that He has in mind for me. I know this of myself. I know that I am too often that fool hanging from a thread, and begging for help, and in the successful outcome, I pat myself on the back rather than give credit to Him.
I will try harder. I am setting a goal to turn over a new leaf, to be a better help-meet, a better nurturer, and a better servant.
I love the Lord, and I want to do His will. I will try harder.

For Sale by Owner
One house For sale. Built with love and all the expertise we could find.
We have built it to stand the test of multiple children! with hard floors, and room to play and learn. We figure it should house up to 12 kids. Two HUGE bedrooms and one average sized room. Master bedroom in the basement with plans for an office/nursery/and master bathroom/closet suite.
We have felt led to sell the house. In order to be able to live together as a family (shocker eh?) we must be willing to do ANYTHING. Including move to Nome, or Utah, or Africa.
We do not have a plan beyond selling the house for now, but for all the pleading we have been doing with the Lord, he has asked us how much we are willing to sacrifice, and what we are willing to do, we are being tried & tested. Hopefully we will pass.
If you know anyone who wants to buy a 3600 Sq ft home, with 10 wooded, beautiful acres, surrounded by the best neighbors and friends you could ask for, let me know, we will hook them up!
$185,000.00
