-
Bible Study... Beth Moore's Paul & Francis Chan's Crazy Love. Also will be starting Beth Moore's Breaking Free next week.

Husband Encouragement...
♥ Not be grumpy.
♥ Date night?

Train Them Up...
* Be consistent with discipline when Squirt bites.
* Be consistent with discipline period.
* Quit yelling at them and take a time out if I feel like it.
* Review ABC Bible Verses with Moose.
* Hopefully get their Veggie Tales Storybook Bible in the mail & read.

Personal Goals...
* Run 3x this week. Do a DVD 3x this week.
* Complete each daily assignment in Paul study.
* Take a nap 1-2x a week.

New Habit of the Month...  I'll be totally honest here. My new habit is actually breaking a habit. When I first met Big A, I struggled with cursing. I was doing so well for a long time and it's been sneaking back in to my life. It's awful. It's like it says in Matthew 12:43-45 -
“When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation.”
Be praying for me, this is really weighing heavily on my heart. Matthew 12:36-37 says, "But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”
I know that I will be held accountable for every word that comes out of my mouth - even the careless ones. I didn't hear much of the sermon on Sunday (a little boy didn't want to be in the nursery or church) but I did hear our pastor say that many times we say something hurtful and then say "oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that." Well, we do mean to say those things. I'm meaning the words that come out of my mouth...but "I shouldn't have said that" (from the sermon). I really don't want to mean those things, I don't want them coming out of my mouth. I've been talking with God about it and trying so hard.
 
MUST Do...
* Get more thank you notes. Finish thank yous from the boys' birthdays.
* Read Crazy Love.
* blog something more interesting.
* Tiny K appointment tomorrow morning for Squirt (just checking on his speech).
* Go back to the printing place in town & pay her for putting different binding on my Breaking Free book.

MOB Society: Bragging on Boys

-
Image
Like my friend Erin shared in her "bragging" post, I don't necessarily want to "brag" about my boys but I am overjoyed at some of their accomplishments recently! So I will share with you! Moose is doing wonderfully at school. We moved him to the afternoon classroom and his teacher said that his behavior problems that they saw in the morning have virtually disappeared. Great! Twice last week (once at school and once at Sunday School) his teachers told me that he shared with someone. What a sigh of relief that one is; sharing is so hard but to know that what I'm implementing at home is working (even the itsy bitsiest bit!) is a relief.  I've noticed that baby toys are most enjoyed by the older crowd. Moose is also reading! I got the sight word list that kindergarteners start off with from his teacher - he read them all for me this morning. I bought a Chuggington book for him on their last book order - he read it by himself after only having it read

Greater (movie review)

-

Sports movies are some of my favorite ones; even better if they are underdog stories! "Greater" is just that - a true underdog story about Brandon Bulsworth who could be called the greatest walk-on in the history of college football. The movie follows Bulsworth from the time he's a kid. His mother is raising he and his brother (who is quite a bit older; old enough to be mistaken for his dad, laughably). His brother gives him a kick in the pants when Brandon claims he wants to play for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Brandon was a heavy kid so no one really thought it would happen. However, Brandon worked as hard as he could and made it. Walked on the team and caught the attention of his coach who put some amazing work into this kid to help him become better. I love when coaches look at the heart of a player more than ability. This really is an amazing story, an amazing movie - full of inspiration and encouragement. Things that seem impossible become possible. The rea

Big A is forever telling me to not say certain things on the road. Don't call me dear. Don't gasp or shout; I'll think there's a deer. Although these are paraphrased (and he claims he's never said the first one), these are the basis for this tale. We went to the Husker game last night. Scratch that - we worked at the Husker game last night. We helped his aunt (and her church) sell backrests as a fundraiser. Big A has done this most of last year & all of this year so far. He loves it. You sell backrests until kickoff, then you watch the game, and pick up the rests after. You're there 90 minutes before game time and for about an hour or so after the game. And you sometimes get leftover food (Runzas and hotdogs and popcorn - please fine out what a Runza is for those of you who aren't from Nebraska....it's so yummy!). Anyway...we went to the game & a few of our friends helped pick up the chairs voluntarily after so (with that help plus our amazing sp
