Otherwise . . . things going on:
We went to the Dr. for check ups for the boys a couple of weeks ago. Big news . . . Jeremiah is now on the growth chart - wahoo!!!! This is quite an accomplishment for this little guy who has never been on the growth chart. Both height and weight are on the chart - we knew he had grown, just not that much. Excited for the little guy :)
Joshua is now crawling. Of course, every parent is so excited when their child begins crawling. So we are excited . . . but I realize JUST how much more I have to chase him. He is enjoying his new mobility and exploring the house. Already I've noticed that I am able to get less done on my days at home. Oh well . . . it's fun watching him crawl around (even though part of me still wants him to be my baby and not grow up)!
The Slades are now running. Todd has participated in 2 5K's over the past week. And to my amazement his time isn't too bad! It might be scary what he could do if he actually trained for them :) I am scheduled to run in a half marathon next Sat (Nov. 5th). I just got sick with I think strep today, but hoping I feel better soon and will be good for next weekend. I must admit I'm excited and think that it will be lots of fun . . . but am ready for it to be over. Ready to not be training for it . . . I may enter my winter hibernation soon :)
The Lord continues to teach us. I truly am blessed. I am blessed with a wonderful husband, 2 little blessings (our boys), and 2 furry blessings!! These are just who is in my household and doesn't include all of our family and friends. I live in a country where I am free to worship and have whatever physical needs (and plenty of wants) met easily. I am a member of a church body where the Word is preached and I am always being taught truth - so thankful that I have a pastor that I truly learn from and am fed by. I am blessed with good health (and the ability to actually possibly run 13.1 miles)! I serve a God who is Holy, Righteous, Loving and Sovereign. He continues to teach me that He is Sovereign and to trust HIM . . . In knowing that I can be content in all things, wherever He has me. To be anxious or frustrated is sin . . . not trusting HIm and His Sovereignty!! He is also teaching me just what a wretch I am and how much I need a Savior. How grateful this makes me for His grace!!! I do not deserve it, but He has given it to me! May God continue to teach me to be godly - to keep HIs glory in my thoughts and actions ALL the time!
