A little of everything (click here to see why Im so excited)

WOW...
I have been so busy I didnt realise I hadnt posted anything in a week! Life has been crazy busy but all good stuff we are in the planning process of our fall festival at our church where we do a huge fun day for the kids in our community! I am so excited about this yrs fall festival! Does your church do something around this time for the kids?

Then I have started this new Home based Business that I am so so so so so so EXCITED about... From the day I found out I was preggo I was like I cant go back to work I really want to raise my kids and be a stay at home Mom but with finances and bills and such I knew unless God really blessed us that wasnt going to be an option. Then after Malachi was born my wonderful hubby was like we will make it work I want you home with him...(YAY!) but we were living paycheck to paycheck with no extra money...WELL NOT ANYMORE! I started last week with a company called Talk Fusion and it is amazing it is Leading the way to Video Emails and Technology and I am so excited to be working for them...Its fun and the money is GREAT! I am not going to have to go back to work and we will have a savings like never before in a short amount of time! If you are looking for a home base business, this is the one you need to get involved in ...seriously the product sells its self and the leadership and Training is great! go here and check it out www.talkfusion.com/1064766 and for more info email me your email address and phone number to mastersimage78@hotmail.com I could go on forever here I feel like God dropped this in our laps and I am so thankful!

Then on sat we went to friends house to watch the LSU vs FLordia game and we got killed! but the fellowship was so well needed! I like LSU cause my husband does but really I could careless...I just note that the first Game we actually got to see on TV with our son they lost.... I told Edward that was going in the baby book and he threatened to throw it away if I wrote it in there....lol sensitive! :) but the Saints won on Sun which puts me in total shock cause they cant beat anyone! lol I guess I enjoy it more than I think which is a good thing since I have a son now...lol my favorite is to root and cheer for who ever my hubby wants to lose.... it just makes watching the game so much more fun...lol (he gets so mad) I am so mean! lol OKay enough about football!

I also became the unofficial official Youth Pastor at our church... I didnt have a say in the matter my husband told me I was doing it! lol ...I dont mind at all I love working with kids and these teens we have here are seriously the most respectful teens on the planet! I cant wait for Youth Convention although it will be different with a baby on my hip....lol I have some of the best memories as a teen at youth convention .... Fun Times!

Ok I need to get off here for a while ...plus I am craving chocolate so bad I think I need to make brownies! yummy!

3 Months Already!!!!

My little prince is 3 moths old today...gosh Time flies! I am going to brag on how amazing he is for a few moments!

~ In the past 3 months he has proven to be the best baby ever....

** Only cries when something is wrong (hungry, tummy ache, tired)

** He is so full of Joy we tell him thats his ministry right now to bring Joy to people and he does a great Job!. He has adapted to life in full time ministry so well he goes on Hospital visits and home visitition with us and the minute he gets there the whole room is full of smiles!

** He would sleep through the night if I let him but I wake him up to nurse every 3 hours...

** He loves music ...the song service at church is his favorite he coos like he is singing the whole time then either passes out or cries when dad starts preaching....lol (Dad is a great preacher, Malachi just doesnt know it yet)

** He LOVES his bath time...we have so much fun spashing and singing!

** He LOVES to cuddle and we love that he loves that cause it is so special to us!

** He doesnt like the camera but will grow to love it cause I have it in his face 24/7 I want to capture everything!

** when we are out and around alot of people he lets us know when he is done or had to much...he will look at me or dad (who ever is holding him) and not take his eyes off ours and with no expression then as soon as we leave he perks right up and smiles and coos like he is thanking us for listening to him! lol its so cute!

** He gives the best slobbery kisses! thats good sugar! lol

** He loves tummy time on the floor with his toys and mommy.... but he gets frustrated when he gets up on his arms and gets one knee up and tries to get the other knee up and the one up falls out ...he wants to crawl so bad...lol

** He loves to be outside!


Okay I will stop for now! I am just so in love with him! I am so blessed and I thank God daily for him! He truly is my miracle and I am honored to be his mom! Happy 3mo birthday baby!

Marriage



Can I just say "hats off to all of you out there who have been married for more than 5yrs and are still inlove and going strong"

Marriage isnt easy all the time, but it is defintally something worth the effort and commitment to keep! My pastor use to say "Love isnt just a feeling it is a commitment that sometimes produces a feeling" that has always stuck with me you may not always feel but when you are commited to someone for life and you take your vows seriously cause you meant them then and you said them before God.... then you do what ever it takes to keep your marriage alive and healthy! (there is only one reason biblcally that divorce is even allowed and thats when one is unfaithful or commits adultry) I decided when I was a teenager and watched my parents drag us kids back and forth to court during thier divorce that DIVORCE was never going to be a opition for me I literally took it out of my vocabulary and never have, even in anger threatened or spoke the word! I have recently heard that several of my close friends have given up and are getting divorced this breaks my heart into a million pieces.... Guys the enemy is real just as real as Jesus and he will do anything to seperate what GOD has put together...... Dont let him! Keep God in the center of your marriage...there is a old saying "That a family that prays together stays together" I 100% believe that to be true! if we make room even a inch for the devil to come in and mess things up he will and when you give him an inch he takes a mile! Can I challenge you to do something for your spouse today.... remember what it was about him that you fell for.... why you fell in love with him.... and never let a day go by that you dont let him know you love him and appreciate him... one more thing never go to bed angry!

My husband and I have been married for 7 yrs and they have been wonderful...yes we have had rough times but through and prayer and commitment to each other we have made it through and I thank God for the Man of God I married and if given the oppritunity to do it over I would in a heart beat! I love you Baby! Photobucket



wow!

I have been jumping from one blog to another all over blog world and I have come across some of the best post out there.... this one is a must read it has challenged my way of thinking and also put on paper what I have thought so many times in the past and is done with so much class and prayer! click on my title (wow!) and read ------->>>>>>> http://makinghome.blogspot.com/2008/09/some-subtle-effects-of-birth-control.html ... As a woman who struggles with infertlity and wants a large family unless God intrivenes and I know he can we wont beable to cause of money not the money it takes to raise a child but the investment to "TRY" and get pregnant... I am so blessed and greatful for our miracle baby "Malachi" it took us 3 trys (artificial Insemination for conception to happen) and if it had not happend the 3rd try we were out of "Trying Money" I am praying and believeing God to heal my body so we can have kids naturally and only time will tell in the mean time I am taking in every day and enjoying to the fulliest every moment with our son!

Being that I am the oldest of 6 kids and all of us are so close I couldnt imagine being a only child i am so blessed by my brothers and sisters each one means something so special to me and God uses all of them in my life all the time! let me brag on them for a moment

Date night



My hubby and I had a date night this past weekend (with Malachi too) and we went and saw Fireproof...OMGosh such a awesome Movie... you have to go see it and take friends... I think I cried 5 or 6 times which is normal but Edward Cried too!!!!! which means it was a double whammy...lol he never cries at movies but said this one is worth crying over then 10 min later I asked him what parts made him cry and he said he just had something in his eye...WHATEVER! lol

Do you and your Hubby have date nights? how often?
Are you a cry baby when it comes to movies?
If you caught your hubby cring would he try and play it off like he wasnt or admit he was crying?

GO SEE THE MOVIE! YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID!

Open Heaven

God is the most amazing thing ever! Have you ever been in a service when God shows up and everyone gets this AWE rememberance of how incrediable HE really is! I love being penticostal and that our services are spirit lead, I was raised baptist and (no offence if you are reading this and you are a baptist) but I was so bored... I thought to myself there has to be more to God and church than this... then I accidentally ended up in the Assemblies of God when I was a sophmore in high school and it radically changed my life ...totally unexpected totally GOD! I honestly wouldnt trade my relationship with my savior for anything! HE is my everything! I just feel so truly Blessed by God!

Your the Best!


to Crystal for giving the shout out on her page that I am blogging again! And if you stumble across my page and you dont visit Pink lucy Pink Lucy you should stop by and join her following! She is a professional at Blogging! and you will really enjoy her post and personality!

Have you ever had a friend or someone in your life that you know it was God and only God that this person and you are friends? thats Crystal to me.... How many of you can say you are good friends with a former Ex's spouse? D and I dated in Highschool and I seriously wouldnt of made it through thoes years with out him some of the toughest yrs of my life... I thank God for him! He is a all around great guy. But God knew we were headed in different directions and that we were suppose to be just friends .... when he and Crystal started dating I was so excited for them she was a great christian girl, fun loving, outgoing, and beautiful! they were a perfect match! we didnt start out buds but through time and distance and similar situations God used us in each other lives to encourage one another and as the years have gone by I can honestly say I have a real friendship with one of the sweetest people on the planet! I love her like my own sister and there isnt anything I wouldnt do for her! So when you see us say unexpected friend or God has a sence of humor ...it really was and he really does...but Im so greatful that our paths crossed and we were able to over look what the world would consider a wierd situation and develop a genuine friendship! I love you girl!

Im Back....



It has been along time since I have blogged... there was alot going on in my life and I thought I needed a break which turned into not blogging at all... Well I decided tonight I missed it and wanted to start over and share my life with friends and family and strangers again! lol... I have always been a open book for thoes who know me there isnt much you dont know about me... but for thoes who dont know me let me share a little....
At age 22 I got married to a wonderful man of God... we wanted to start a family right away but the right away turned into 6 yrs of hurt and dissapointment lots of testing and dr appts .... then we moved to Utah and in Aug of 2006 we were in a church service where there was a prophet who called us out and said... "In the 7th year you will have a son and he will be a prophet" and then he prayed for us...well I went back to my seat and began to cry out to God I told him how much I wanted to believe this was true and how much I wanted to be a mom but this type of thing had happen before and only lead to tears...(misscarriage) So I told God do not let me get pregnant ever again if I cant carry to full term.... well this time there was something different I felt it to be true and I believed it was going to happen and prayed against my unbelief and doubt.... I started claiming the Word over my life and that night I was lying in bed and I was so excited that in 2007 we were going to have a baby boy...well the Lord spoke to me so clear and said No... in the seventh year of your marriage.... that meant we had to wait till 2008.... remind you this was Aug of 2006 ...so 2007 was the LONGEST year of my life! but faithfully as the prophet said in May of 2008 we celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary and in July of 2008...Malachi Jayce Jordan came into this world... this day was the happiest day of my life... I cant even describe the feeling when he was put into my arms all I kept thinking was is this real do I get to keep him is he really mine! So after mutiple misscarriages and infertility specialist and years of pain and hurt I was finally a MOM!
I will never forget what we went through to get here.... it was one of the toughest battles any couple can face and my heart goes out to couples dealing with infertillity know that you are in my prayers and I truly believe if it can happen for me it can happen for anyone! Dont lose hope keep believeing and trusting God and if this blog can be a hope to just one woman that it can and will happen then it was all worth while!

~♥~♥~ Lord,
I come before you right now in the Name of Jesus and I pray for your arms to be wrapped around couples all across this world tonight that are suffering with infertillity.... I pray they would feel your presence and know you are GOD! I pray that you would make the impossiable POSSIABLE for them I pray you heal thier bodies remove cyst, open tubes, do endometrosis surgury, cause ovaries to function as they ought to, boost sperm count in husbands, i speak against unexplained infertillity right now... Lord I pray that you would make these bodies line up to the word of God and be healed in the name of your son Jesus.... God I pray for conception to happen for life to be started and for positive pregnancy test ... I pray you strengthen cervixes and i speak against chromozone problems in the name of Jesus... I pray that these wombs would be full and these wives would be able to join the 'Mommy club" God I pray you build faith and remove doubt and untill it happens you would bring peace and comfort as you do always! I pray for a abundunce of babies in empty arms! Lord I truly believe that you will fill these homes with children and I thank you in advance for life! God you are so amazing and so powerful and I know you want and will bless...so in your wonderful and loving name I pray....
AMEN!
