May 13th 2014
I thought for sure I would have time to update a blog at least once a week- I was very WRONG!
Posting everything to Facebook is much easier:)
The kids have been keeping a small list of how God is showing his faithfulness in their lives, but I haven't quite decided how I want to share it; all at once or each week. Some of their stories and moments they have asked me not to share, so I will honor that request.
Here is a moment of God's faithfulness in Jacob's life:
"I was having a bad day so I went outside. A butterfly landed near me and put a smile on my face."
I think I might just wait for the journal to fill up a bit more before I share a large chunk of moments.

Stacking Stones
I decided months ago that I wanted to start a blog- I just didn't know how to go about it. Well, after this evening's current Bible study, Ann Voskamp's One Thousand Gifts, I have finally found something I would enjoy blogging about; The Lord's faithfulness in my family's lives. Ann Voskamp refers to a tradition found in Joshua 4 - the people of Israel stacked stones to serve as a reminder of God's faithfulness. In the study she asks us to find a way to "stack stones," to remember, to collect memories that we can retell and pass on to our children; a picture a day, a journal, a program on your iPad etc. I really like the idea of keeping a blog.
So I've asked my kids to begin collecting their own memories of God's goodness in their lives starting tomorrow. I can't wait to see what my children come up with in the coming weeks, months, and hopefully years. Maybe this will help each of us slow down a bit and recognize the gifts God has placed right in front of us.
