We're Van People
So we have taken the plunge we are official parents, real live grown ups.....we bought a Mini Van!! Sorry no pics of the mom mobile but she is a perdy lil thing!! Asher was soooooo excited he ran too it at the dealership with arms open wide "OH MY WHISTLE" for some reason he calls mini van's whistles...we have no idea why. Anyway everyday since getting the "whistle" he asks to ride in the new whistle he is in LOVE with it. He is a funny lil guy I am so happy that all it takes for his happiness is us signing our life away and going in too major debt!!
Happy Day!!

It was bound to happen
(this is a follow up to my last post)
I wrote last time that I wanted to wholly give everything to God...WELL my days of trying came to a standstill this past Wednesday. God decided that this was the day that he would break me (kinda like they do horses) I was having a somewhat typical day and then BAM..I crumpled to the floor in the middle of my sons room and sobbed and sobbed. I cried out to God that I can't do this anymore, it is unfair, I am broken, I laid everything out. I have never ever had a "broken" moment before where there is nothing you can do, where you have reached the bottom and can barely see light. It was emotionally and physically draining...luckily I had my trusty sidekick running around naked to go and get mommy tissues!!
I am still having bits of brokenness but I am able to better handle these moments...thank goodness because I don't think being in the middle of Harris Teeter sobbing on the ground would be the best site.
I know why I got brought to that place and I understand why things are still in the pooper. He wants us to give him everything, He wants us to solely rely on Him, He wants us to live Great and Peaceful lives, living according to His plan. The only way that can be done is to become broken. To have no one else to turn too, no where to run or hide except to his open arms. Where he will provide, love unconditionally, listen, handle ALL of our problems and carry us through to the other side.
A prayer of Brokenness
When I've hit the bottom
O God,
Please turn my brokenness into a divine encounter with you. I feel overwhelmed by my circumstances, and I know that the only way out is through your help. I feel as if I've hit rock bottom, and I realize, Lord, how utterly dependent I am upon you. I cannot take another step without you. Make this a turning point for me. I release my future into your loving hands. Draw close to me in my brokenness and restore my fellowship with you.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. Psalm 34:18

I long for the day when I am able to wholly give myself, my trust, my everything over to God. I pray about it....talk about it.....and even dream about it. Then something happens...dun dun dun..the Flesh takes over "I can do this, I will take matters into my own hands" HELLO you can't, and that, is that. It will NEVER EVER EVER work out if you don't give it over to GOD.
Note: Heart tell head, head listen to heart, got it....oops reality.
I know people out there who have given it all to Him and have great success with it (duh) but for some reason I find it very difficult to just R.E.L.E.A.S.E. It's hard not to question or be like "ok so God here is what I want" sometimes He doesn't care what you want because HE knows what is best END OF DISCUSSION. So once again today I will pray about it, and today WILL be the day. If not I will start all over again tomorrow....eventually I will get it!! That is the great thing about God is that he won't give up on us!!

We finally got around to getting out Asher's wooden train set. He was SUPER EXCITED about it and I was able to capture some of the moments!

So He has been running the rails ever since and we have been buying stock in batteries to keep this train station in business!!

O 2 B 3
When you are 3 you are FREE...Free to wear no pants.....Free to wear rain boots wherever you want....Free to run carefree!
 |
| Helping daddy with the shed |
 |
| Isn't this how all people watch tv...He was watching Cars for the one bazillionth time |
Not a care in the world, does his own thing....that is the joy of a child.
While in the shower I hear the one man band headed my way. Cymbals clanging, the banging of drums and I get a show and a shower all in one. His fantasticness grows daily and I want to bottle it up so I will have it always.
He wanted to play outside the other day so he grabbed his boots and ran out the door, no pants required. Asher you are always so busy, busy. Always saying something funny and you bring endless joy to our lives XOXOXO

A need to Remember
Asher is full of life and love he turned 3 this past weekend...if you listen closely you can hear my heart breaking because my Baby is growing up.
I read all the time there are many books laying around and I have tried to put this into my childs life as well. He loves to open up any book and read me a story today's story goes like this
"Once upon a time there was a king and then a brave dragon" "Oh Asher a Brave Dragon I can't believe it" "I know it amazing"
Oh How more Wonderful could he be!! The stack of books that he is carrying around are Bringing up Boys, 40 days in the Word, a devotion, and living a life of balance!! He has a heavy reading curriculum for being 3;)
A write this post as a Need to Remember because everybody always says Oh I will remember that but what if you don't and all these cute, creative burst of loveliness are lost forever. Cherish your baby's they are only little once and once it's gone it's gone....except for the memories carved forever in your mind and on your blog:)
