Thanksgiving Pictures!
We had a great Thanksgiving filled with family and joy. We had a wonderful time at Homestead Heritage and on Baylor Campus where my Mom and Dad went to college. We got together with our cousins, Uncle, Aunt, and Mimi and Papa. So I will let the pictures explain the rest...
Have a Blessed Week.
Emily, I loved your Thankful List!

Ruth
"Over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house we go..."
...a little sneak peak of our day. (heehee) ...
...Today I finished the book Unshaken, by Francine Rivers. (finally old enough to read some of her books) It was about Ruth. I have always loved Ruth, a women of the bible. She had unshakable faith in God, unexplainable love for her mother in law. As I read her story I think, would I have the courage to leave my own country to care for an old widow? Would I be willing to leave behind the riches of my Father's household? Leave my family and friends? And if I did go would I do it with a good attitude? Work with joy and gratefulness? I think Ruth is a very good role model for girls and women. I ask myself would I be willing to do what Ruth did? Would I have joy while I did it? Through all the hardships Ruth stood strong, having faith in God that he would take care of her and her mother in law. She seeked God first. Over idols, riches, and much more. I want to be more like Ruth. Have her humility, her faith, her love, her thankfulness. She trusted her mother in law that what she said about the one, true living God. She Believed. She had courage. She had humility in coming as a foreigner. She had joy in her work and was thankful for it. She prayed, and when she prayed, she had faith that God would answer. It wasn't easy. Her life was far from comfortable, but God gave them everything they needed. He was watching over them, every second, hour, moment, of each, and every day. She allowed God to mold her, and change her. She trusted in God, she had faith in Him, and He was faithful. Her life was far from the riches of this world at the time, but she was rich in God. I want to be more like Ruth. She had,
Faith.
Love.
Joy.
She believed, she trusted, she gave up everything, She had FAITH, and God was FAITHFUL. Sounds easy reading it? It was far from easy. Don't belive me? Well let's try it for ourselves. Let's have faith, joy, humility. Ruth wasn't proud, but humble. Let's be more like Ruth.

Dear Bloggy Friends,
I have one word to describe my life at the moment. Busy! Busy, busy, busy. That pretty much explains why I have not been posting recently, or if I have it has just been pictures! Home school, piano, running after the little ones, it all takes time and that make us super busy. Caleb is doing great! He has gained weight, so that is good. Ana... oh my! All I can say is she is keeping our hands full, but she is a blessing from the Lord. Claire, imaginative as always. Thinking up new games to play with her big sister! My Mom and Dad are doing good too. My Dad has a really bad cold though so keep him in your prayers. I seriously do not know how my Mom does what she does! Her secret weapon is the Lord! Mom, you work so hard for us kids, and Dad! How can we thank you? Me, well I'm doing good. Trying to have peace and Patience with my sibling is not always easy! We are studying Acts in the Bible. So this post was a little update on our family!
Blessings to all,
Katy
