My little evangelist

A conversation between a 5 yr old and an almost 4 year old. 
Raquelle is talking abut hell and singing a very sweet angelic sounding song about people dieing and going to hell. 
Titus interrupts, "When I was a baby, I went to hell once." 
I tell him, "No you didn't.  Only people who die and don't believe in Jesus go to hell."
Titus - "I believe in Jesus"
Me - "Who is Jesus?"
Titus - "Jesus is God!"
Me - "What did He do?"
Titus - "He died on the cross for our sins!"
Me - "Did he stay dead?"
Titus - "No, he came back to life again!"
Me - "So how do you go to heaven?"
Titus - "Believe in Jesus"
Raquelle - "No, you have to ask him to forgive your sins and come into your heart too."
Titus - "Oh."
Raquelle - "Are you going to do that now?"
Titus - "No, I going to sing my song first." - Titus pounds on the toy keyboard and pretends to sing...then stops, folds his little hands, and closes his eyes and starts moving his lips, but no sound is coming out.
Raquelle - "I can't hear you, that's not loud enough.  You need to do it again."
Titus - "Dear God, I sorry my sins.  Please forgive me."
Raquelle - "You have to ask him to come in your heart too!  Say 'come in my heart'"
Titus - "oh, ok...'Please come in my heart so I can go to heaven too.  Amen"

 I have not posted anything on this blog in about 9 years!  The kids are growing up, and last night, as teenagers, Kezzy came across this blog.  “Mom!!! You have a blog?  Can I read it?”  Since then, she and Titus have been reading everything on here, reminiscing about how cute they were when they were little.  It got me thinking that maybe I should resurrect this old blog!  I have another child now (Theo) who was never even mentioned in any previous posts, and very little is on here about Annabelle and Philemon!  I’ll have to think about what I want to write about, now that the kids are older.  In the mean time, here is a new picture of my now much more grown up children.  This picture is of me and the kids on Mothers Day.

Raquelle is here!

Raquelle Elizabeth was born Sunday March 5th at 5:49 AM after 41 hours of labor! I was sent home from the hospital 3 times Friday and Saturday because I was not making very fast Progress. Contractions started out 3 min apart Friday at noon and got really strong by about 11 am on Saturday. I could no longer stand the pain so they had to keep me this time. By 4 pm I was at 3.5 cm and Contractions were 2 to 3 min apart, and so strong I was shaking uncontrolably through them. So I begged for an epi (gave up on going natural after the first 28 hours). The epi was the most traumatic part of the whole thing. As they were putting it in, my blood pressure dropped dangerously low and they had to rip it out and give me two shots of epinephrin to raise it back up and then start over. The 2nd try, they put the needle in too deep and punctured the fluid behind the epidural cavity, which caused the fluid between my brain and spinal cord to start leaking. This causes horrible migrain headaches that th...

The Dream Giver

I haven't written in a while, but as I start to toy with the idea of moving away from facebook, I find myself toying with the idea of reactivating this old blog.  I'm not sure what direction it will take.  Perhaps an overview of things I am learning?  Perhaps cute stories about the kids and every day life?  Maybe an occasional allergy friendly recipe... I don't know.  For now, I am a firm believer in life long learning and mentorship.  I strive to discipline my brain and my personal development daily with books I read, what I watch or listen to, Bible studies, and people I hang out with.  I just finished reading the book "The Dream Giver" by Bruce Wilkinson, the author of "The Prayer of Jabez."  I was surprised at how much I really enjoyed this  book! A short overview.  "The Dream Giver" is about a "nobody" named "Ordinary" who lives in the land of "familiar."  Every day, he wakes up and goes to the same job.  ...
