Wise & Witty Wednesday

Hey, y'all! :)

I got today's quote out of a little book by Matt Redman (he wrote the popular praise song, "Heart of Worship") called The Unquenchable Worshipper. I'm only about three chapters into it, but so far it's been great! Anyway, here's the quote...

"The consequence of abandonment never enters into our outlook, because our lives are so taken up with Him." --Oswald Chambers
Thanks to those of you (Amber and Vanessa) who posted comments on my "trying something new..." post to let me know you can see it. :) Y'all are so sweet! So, it kind of worked...I was trying the post-something-to-the-blog-via-email thing using my cell phone (since the actual Blogger mobile thing won't work with our cell provider). The good news is, you can see what I was trying to post. The bad news is, I had to edit it because it also had all this other stuff from where it had to go through the Alltel web server or whatever. :P So, I can use the e-mail thing, but trying to do it from my phone is not really going to work. Oh, well. Like I really needed one more technical thing to complicate my life.

I thought I would give a quick update on some of the little people I've asked y'all to pray for over the last couple of months.
First of all, Stellan is home after 5 weeks of hospitalization, part of it in Boston where he did have an ablation. He seems to be doing really well now, with his SVT finally under control, partially because of the (partial) ablation and partly through medicine.

Jonah is also doing great; he turned 2 months old on Monday, and he is home. Poor little guy, his hands/arms and legs/feet have to stay wrapped up to prevent new blisters from forming, but he is eating well and does well with his daily dressing changes.
Both of these boys are such strong little fighters! :)

As for Kayleigh...nothing has really changed there. The Freeman family is working toward being able to take Kayleigh home as soon as possible so she can spend the rest of her time, however long or short it may be, home with her family. I know the Freemans would really appreciate your prayers at this time. They are also under a great deal of financial stress as the downturn of the economy has really affected them at the same time they have a lot of bills for Kayleigh's care. If you'd like to donate to help the Freemans, there is a donate button on their blog.

And now, I'm off to bed. Love you all, have a great night! :)

Mom, yes, it's a half-price books book. :) One of the ones I got in the clearance section for a dollar! Definitely a dollar well-spent... :)

Sex & "the good Christian single"

 Yep. Buckle up, we're going there. This post might get a little uncomfortable, but it's a topic that can't exactly be ignored! And, as I said at the beginning of this little "series" earlier this year, "my goal is to be uncomfortably honest, vulnerable, real, raw." Besides, the world is talking about sex all the time , and if we as Jesus-followers don't talk about it from a Jesus-perspective, the world is going to shape the views and opinions of sex for an entire generation. Or two. Or more.  Let's start with some basic statements just for the sake of clarity: 1. Sex is God's idea, and it is good.  All through the Bible, from Adam & Eve being "naked & unashamed" in the garden of Eden (Genesis 2), to the graphic love poetry of Song of Solomon, to Paul exhorting husbands and wives to freely share their bodies with one another in 1 Corinthians 7, the Bible paints a picture of sex within marriage being good, beautiful, encourag

Six Flags!

Some would no doubt consider it a strange "Sabbath kick-off", but for me a trip to Six Flags Over Texas (in Arlington) was just the ticket! Between my love of roller coasters, the nostalgia this place holds, and the healthy benefits of fresh air and sunshine, it was fantastic. Oh, and the company was pretty great, too. The only thing that could have made it better would have been to have my "OG Six Flags fam" along--aka, my family and the Vests, of course! Six Flags has always been about facing and overcoming fear for me. I was a very fearful/timid child, and as an adult looking back I think one of the best things my parents did for my little anxious self was take me to ride roller coasters!! (I would insert the "tears of joy" emoji here if I could!) I was coaxed and cajoled on to rides I was hesitant about, but never forced to ride anything--though I waited in every line with them and I was not allowed to complain. Every year, there were rides where

oh, look! it's a blog!

I really thought I was going to do better at blogging this month. Ha! I have a post in my drafts section that I started two weeks ago, but there it sits. It's going to require more time and thought to finish than I have at this moment, so it will have to wait. However, it IS going to get finished and posted at some point! :) Today, for most of the day it's just Jonathan and I here at home. Weird, huh? Daddy, Micah, and Josiah are at a men's retreat/camp-out with the church, and Momma had to work today. So, Jonathan and I are hanging out (read: cleaning house and putting the new sheets on the beds and icing cupcakes :) ). This evening, there is a "praise for pro-life" thing at a church here in Springtown that we're planning to go to. It's a fundraiser for a pregnancy center. (October 24, 6 pm, Outreach of Love church on Hwy 199 in Springtown, admission is a baby bottle full of change...just in case anyone wanted to know!) Tomorrow after church, we're ha
