Finding Joy and Rest within my Crazy day
"He restores my soul.He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake."
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold."
- I am resting in Jesus, hallelujah! I know
That the blood of atonement makes me whiter than snow;
I will trust in my Savior, and abide His control;
For He loved me so dearly that He ransomed my soul.- Refrain:
Oh, my rest is so sweet,
As I sit at Thy feet;
I am resting, dear Jesus,
In Thy favor complete.
- Refrain:
- I am resting in Jesus, oh, how sweet are my years!
He has banished my troubles, and removed all my tears;
I am safe in His kingdom, and a heavenly calm
Now abides in my bosom—glory be to the Lamb! - I am resting in Jesus, my Redeemer and Friend,
And the peace of His kingdom shall endure without end;
Oh, my soul is transported in His favor divine,
And there’s music, sweet music in this bosom of mine. - I am resting in Jesus, what a blessed repose!
I am living in triumph over death and all foes;
I can smile at the tempest, hallelujah to God!
I am free, and forever I will sing of the blood.
Strong in Thy strength, safe in Thy keeping tender,
We rest on Thee, and in Thy Name we go.
Strong in Thy strength, safe in Thy keeping tender,
We rest on Thee, and in Thy Name we go.
Yes, in Thy Name, O Captain of salvation!
In Thy dear Name, all other names above;
Jesus our Righteousness, our sure Foundation,
Our Prince of glory and our King of love.
Jesus our Righteousness, our sure Foundation,
Our Prince of glory and our King of love.
We go in faith, our own great weakness feeling,
And needing more each day Thy grace to know:
Yet from our hearts a song of triumph pealing,
“We rest on Thee, and in Thy Name we go.”
Yet from our hearts a song of triumph pealing,
“We rest on Thee, and in Thy Name we go.”
We rest on Thee, our Shield and our Defender!
Thine is the battle, Thine shall be the praise;
When passing through the gates of pearly splendor,
Victors, we rest with Thee, through endless days.
When passing through the gates of pearly splendor,
Victors, we rest with Thee, through endless days.

Baby It's Cold Outside
We woke up this morning to a beautiful sparkling sight. Light fluffy snow has recovered the ground here in southeastern Connecticut. It is just amazing how beautiful the snow makes everything! I want to bundle the boys up in their snow suits and play! But, yes I have to add the but; it is only 25degrees outside! I know it's colder where a lot of you are, but 25 is still pretty cold!
It's Nate's morning nap time, though I still hear him babbling away! I thought I would write a quick blog. Since the boys are still on antibiotics from ear infections I haven't convinced myself to go outside. Maybe tomorrow won't be so cold! I guess we'll just enjoy the sparkling snow from the inside today!

And then there where 5
Pregnancy.
I'm still in that wow stage right now with being pregnant again. Yet we are very happy to be adding new baby to our family!
My first OB appointment is February the 12th. We will a better estimate of the baby's due date then.
Elijah has already started talking to my tummy, which much more fat then baby right now( :0). He is even calling our new addition "Baby NewNews." It's very cute to see him desire to connect.
I've been nausous continually for the last two weeks. It seems to peak in the evening, which makes it hard dealing with dinner.
During all this excitement Nate has really started walking! It is so much fun watching him take his careful steps as he laughs and wiggles his arms around. :]

Trip to Gordon Conwell
Last Wednesday afternoon Curtis and I packed up our car and drove about 30 minutes north of Boston, MA. To Gordon Conwell Seminary The ride there went smoothly. Both boys slept most of the ride and we found the Red Sox's game on an AM station. What more could we ask for? :]
Since I met Curtis in 1997 he has talked about going to seminary at some point. Now is the appointed time it seems, as God has really put it on his heart and mine stronger then ever. Seminary is going to be our next adventure!
Curtis will begin an online Greek course as soon as possible. He might add on another course if its not to much added studing. Then when he gets out of the Navy next spring we will relocate to the Seminary. Due to financial aid etc Curtis is probably going to extend a few months and move the end of summer or fall of next year.
The seminary campus is very beautiful. It is set on beautiful rolling hills with a lot of green! Grass is just a Huge landscape positive for Curtis and I, us 'country folk'. :] Plus it will be great for the boys to play on throughout the year. The dorm life seems to be good. The families we meet where very friendly. Elijah and Nate will greatly benefit from the close proximity of the other children. There shouldn't be a day without some interaction with other kids.
We will need to downsize to a two bedroom, one bath apartment. The apartments have little closets space and no laundry hook up. This is a hard thing to think about. We are hoping to keep our eyes open for storage shelves or armoires between now and next summer to better organize the things we do need to keep. I'm still concerned about not having my washer and dryer. I do at least 2 loads of laundry a day. The idea of riding ourselves of any excess is a great idea though. Simplicity and organization help a ton!
We also visit our friends, Joel and Maya, one evening. It was a lot of fun and greatly encouraging for all of us. They live about 5 minutes from the campus! Elijah loves playing with their Elijah and Ezra even though there is some age difference(him being 3 and them 6&4.)
When Curtis and I where living in Maine we attended the same Bible study group. God has brought us a long way since then. Curtis really wanted more to do with people now and Ineed the same. We both really look forward to getting to know them more next year.
Joel's Dad works on campus, and also used to teach. He taught at Gordon Conwell and also out at Westminster West. This really helped reaffirm the theology of the school and how much God desires Curtis to study there.
I'm still stuck on not having my own laundry capabilities, yet know God has a lot more that He desires us to focus on!~
