15 Things I am not afraid to admit...

I saw this on Stephanie's blog a couple of days ago. I thought it was pretty interesting so, I decided to steal it and see what I could come up with.

Here are 15 things I'm not afraid to admit...

15. I'm not a pet person

14. I'm really not an "outdoor" person either... i do not like to smell like "outside" i know someone reading this has to know what I am talking about

13. I loved being pregnant - and i love babies and would have more if Brannon would let me.... :)

11. I love "To Do" list...and if I do something that is not on my "to do" list....I will add it just so I can mark it off.

10. I have a hard time spending money on things for me.... even if I need clothes and stuff - I am NOT normal huh?

11. I really dont care to watch movies at the theatre. I never have really liked going to the movies

10. I have an extremely messy car. and no matter how much i try to keep it clean it just never happens....

09. I do not like help when cleaning the house, I like it done MY WAY in MY ORDER...

08. If I could go back and do the 12th grade and college over, I would. Not to change this exactly, but alot of it was fun and I missed it.

07. I could eat chips and salsa at EVERY MEAL, in fact that is how i rate my favorite Mexican restaurants

06. I keep the alarm on and doors locked even when we are home, Brannon HATES that.

05. I love baseball and football but NOT professional...

04. I have an unhealthy fear of dying and leaving behind family...even though I know heaven will be SO much better....

03. I dont read my bible as much as I should, I am trying to get better with that.

02. I am nervous about the upcoming elections....

01. I miss ALABAMA and all my family and friends there...( and you too Jill in Kansas...and both Lindsays in Florida and Georgia.....)

Now, what about you? What are some things you aren't afraid to admit??

New Photos

On Sunday September 21 (ak's actual birthday) we took the girls to have their pictures made. We did the same thing for Ava on her first birthday and I love those pics so much. We got the CD back from the photographer this weekend and I wanted to share a few of the photos with you. Ava 3 Anna Kate 1

Hope you enjoy

Prayer still needed

I found out today a little information on the little girl in the prayer request below. On thursday they admitted her into the hospital and she is there still today. She has acute lukemia. So needless to say her family is scared. She is on an aggressive medicine and they were told she could possibly lose her hair as early as friday.... they are also checking into going to St Judes.

Please continue to prayer for this little girl, her parents and her doctors. Drs are very smart, but God is a healer.

Exodus 23:25 And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.

Psalms 30:2 O LORD my God, I cried out to you, and you have healed me

Urgent Prayer Request

When I was dropping off Ava at "school" this morning, one of the moms of twins who are almost 5 came up to the office and was telling us that one of her daughters would not be in for a few days at least because they had found a mass on her lung. They were going for a CAT scan today and she is having a biopsy tomorrow. Please keep this family in your prayers, they say her possibilities are cancer, TB, or just a bad virus.... the fear in her moms eyes brought tears to mine... what if that was one of our kids? we would want the prayers....


Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us." (Ephesians 3:20)

thanks and below is worth a repost.....

I have to Believe - Rita Springer

I have to believe
That He sees my darkness
I have to believe
He knows my pain
I have to lift up
My hands to worship
Worship His name

I have to declare
That He is my refuge
I have to deny
That I am alone
I have to lift up
My eyes to the mountain
It's where my help comes from

Oh yeah
He said that He's forever faithful
He said that He's forever true
He said that He can move mountains
If He can move mountains
He can move my mountain
He can move your mountain, too

Oh, I have to stand tall
When the wind blows me over
I have to stand strong
When I'm weak and afraid
I have to grab hold
Ahold of the garments
The garments of praise

I know, I know, I know
Cause He said that He's forever faithful
And He said that He's forever true
He said that He can move mountains
If He can move mountains
He can move my mountain
He can move your mountain, too

I have to sing praise
When the hour is midnight
He unlocks these chains
That bind up my soul
My sin and my shame
He has forgiven and made me whole

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Cause He said that He's forever faithful
And He said that He's forever true
He said that He can move mountains
If He can move mountains
He can move my mountain
He can move your mountain, too

I have to believe
I have to believe
He's got everything under control
I have to believe
Lord, I believe
Help my unbelief
I have to believe in You
I have to believe
