Father's day... aka here DADDY!!!
what a blessing and a joy........ Doug aka to kiddos daddy!... what a man!... Doug is one of the most loving, kissing(ask anyone!) man of God, Witty, loud, hard working, dependable, high energy, passionate, kind, selfless man I know!... He is ALWAYS seeking and asking God to help him lead our family in the way which God designed it.. for that I am thankful!... He is up before the roosters and lays his head down well after the sun goes in from the day ... for that I am thankful! He is always smiling for the camera and when its time for a funny pose his finger ALWAYS ends up at his nose... for that I am thankful! When I am at whits end, he is ALWAYS wanting me to take a breather... for that I am thankful! sitting under him while we are on break from teaching SS hearing Gods word.... for that I am thankful! working so hard while I can stay at home and homeschool..... for that I am thankful!....... I could list and list all the things that I am thankful for and it could take up this WHOLE page...
but I think this sums it up ..... I am thankful that God would allow me to love a man who seeks to be more like His heavenly Father... GOD!!!!.... for that I am REALLY thankful!
Fathers day 2012...... enjoy!

One of things that God has revealed to me while coming out of the desert is that he will get you where he wants you!... back in January of this year I worked at a conference called Passion, many of you may be familiar, but I needed something to carry my wallet and a purse was just too big so I made a bag (sling) to take... well we got there and several people made comments about it and ask where I got it and I said I made it and they all said you need to sell those... well that was not gonna happen....kiddos, school, activities, church, friends, etc... when would I have anytime to do this!... wellllllll one of the ways i used these bags was to give as presents to my girls friends for birthdays , etc... well about 1 month ago someone ask me about them and I started saying that I made them for the girls and after that conversation I said this sounds sooooo stupid!!!! does this have anything to do with HIM?? Does this GLORIFY HIM?? and of course to some degree the girls loved them and they carried there bibles in them.... sooooo the Lord kept impressing on my heart bags for HIS GLORY... NOT MINE!!!....sooo many of you know that my heart is VERY moved toward discipleship so how could these bags be used....and then he revealed to me the plan.. HIS PLAN!!! discipleship ready bags to sell here and ALL money go to missions AND bags to go on mission trips.... YES!!! thank you GOD for revealing this to me and then you RECEIVE GLORY!!!!.... the name is SOUL BAGS and as of right now 15 bags for Brazil, 100 for Uganda, and don't know the number yet for China!.. AMEN!

be still.....
God sure has a way of sending you to a place where he wants you...
I have not only been very busy with end of the year activities, but just getting back from a sweet camping at the beach mini vacation.... I feel like my head is spinning most days....
I have lately been ask the question "where are you at in the adoption process?" and simply my answer is God has us in this waiting place.. NOT quite sure why but he pretty much has me in the be still place... for those who know me that is not easy as my life with 4 kiddos, husband, dogs, cat, commitments, etc, I have the life of go, go, go... although God has been doing a work in me on that as well~!
I want to reveal so much of what the Lord has been doing but again he has me in this stillness! Doug and I are praying through so much and all we want to do is be obedient!. We want our life to reflect Jesus.. That means being fully obedient to the Father! what does that look like?? We are becoming so much closer to getting our house on the market .. obedience! We are praying ... obedience! Scrubbing the scriptures....obedience!
As I even write getting the house on the market... I say Lord if it is YOUR will! Whether it sells or not.. AMEN!
I know he has plans for us.. BIG plans...What does it look like?? I wish I had the puzzle pieces already put together BUT if that were the case then I would not be depending and leaning on HIM! so as you feel lead please pray for us, that we would be obedient! and still! until he reveals what HIS plans are for us!
In Christ,
Angela
