Seeking the Lord Daily

I wanted to add this post in case I forget later. For some reason my brain has NOT been in tip top shape lately :-) We are probably going offline again for a season. I will still update when I can, and I will definately keep everyone updated on my new little baby boy to be, whom by the way will not be David Matthew, but Jackson Tyler, which is the name we chose for Emily if she would have been a boy. Cameron's schedule got changed to 2nd and he is no longer a supervisor which took away a few cents off his hourly pay. So we are cutting back in anyway we can and that more than likely will mean bye-bye to our internet. We don't really use it that much. I use my blackberry to check my email and my favorite message board ( www.cmomb.com ) and so as long as I can do that, Im good. And yes even if I couldn't do that I would be fine too. So I am going to go for now, and if we don't cut off our internet, I will be back sooner than later. God bless and have a Merry Christmas and...

Bear with me as I am trying to get a new background for my blog to kind of freshen up my look :) I haven't been on that much lately but I decided to pop in and make a few changes this morning. Today is my Savannah's 11th birthday. Oh how time flys... So this post is for you Savannah! Happy birthday...

Again I will say that I am still here. I have just been taking a break from blogging and I still have a ton on my mind. Our SUV is broke down at the moment, so we are currently in a rental car. Of course it is way too small but that is all we could afford( well we really couldn't but we had to) . So I am going to try to get my home nice and tidy this weekend and then I will begin preparing for BACK TO SCHOOL. So far August 2nd is our tenative date to start back. I was blessed to be able to find 10 ABeka readers that I was needing at the thrift store, in like new condition for $1.25 a piece. I was thrilled. So of course I snatched them right up. Now I only need 2 things to complete my back to school curriculum needs. Those 2 things are the complete speech therapy at home set for James from www.superstarspeech.com and I will be ordering the 3rd grade math curriculum for Taylor from Rod & Staff ( 1-606-522-4348 Mondays 9-5 and Tuesdays to Fridays 8-5 Eastern Standard Time) . If ...

Yes... Im still here. I haven't posted this week because honestly it has been a horrible week. A dear friend of mine and Cameron's took his own life on June 21. He was only 29 years old and probably one of the smartest people I know. He could quote scripture like no one else that I know, yet his life had taken some horrible and very unfortunate turns that to him, left him in a hopeless position in life. He told his mom that he had complete peace with the decision he made to take his own life. He said that he was going to Heaven to be in peace. Oh how I pray that this is true for him. His name was Justin and his moms name is Tina. Please pray for her. As far as everything else goes, my week has not been good. Cameron and I have kind of been at odds this week. My mind does not seem to be where it needs to be. I have felt so bad this past week. I want me and Cameron to be able to get back to where we were. My attitude has left us rather at odds. I need to dust off my copy of ...

Tomorrow is going to be my official "Back to Reality" day. I am itching to get back into a routine of some sort and I am praying for an easy transition. The kids have been rather wild for 2 months or so now because at the end of my pregnancy with Emily, I was exhausted to say the least. My house is now pretty overcome with mess and I have been on the couch with Emily since we came home from the hospital last week. I woke up this morning with a horrible backache that radiates through my shoulder blades and into my chest. Emily slept well last night( actually she slept from 1 am or so until 8 am) but James slept on the loveseat. He slept on the loveseat until he decided to join me and Emily on the couch. Keep in mind, I am 5'7, with a 20 inch newborn, and a 6 year old little boy, who isn't short by any means; Imagine trying to get a good nights sleep in that situation :-). NOT going to happen. James was suffering from a sore throat, so since he has been my baby for 6 y...

I wanted to say that I am back and have alot to tell :-) I will post a long post in the morning. God bless :-) Maudie

Well the New Year is fast approaching. Since we are out of school until next week, I really don't know what the date is :-) Silly of me,but I just have a hard time keeping up with it. Christmas was great and I am glad that the commercial part of it is over. Although I LOVE the season itself for the reason we have it is because of Jesus' birth. Our most precious gift by far! Cameron was suposed to start a new job today, but it ended up not working out. It is hard sometimes to wait on the Lord. I have no idea what he has planned for us, although I am definately looking forward to seeing what that is. Being that we have no money and that we are at home almost all the time, you would think my house would be spotless, but guess what.... its a disaster! I have been so sick with this pregnancy. No throwing up, just lots of gagging and tummy upset. We had a doctors apptointment yesterday. The baby's heartbeat was 157 and it was moving around quite a bit. Only 27 days until my birth...

Okay, so this is too wierd. I just went through all the trouble to create a new blog and then I discover that I had used the wrong email address to try to log into this one, and then I tried the new one and now I am logged in. So I guess I have 2 blogs, lol. Anyways I am back online, Cameron still doesn't have another job and we are expecting a new baby! Yes, right after my miscarriage in September and the HSG, we conceived about 2 weeks after the miscarriage. I am currently almost 14 weeks pregnant and we are due on June 21st, but we have a c-section scheduled for June 14th at 10 am. And for the most excited news, until the baby arrives, we get find out the gender on Jan. 25th, my 29th birthday! We are so excited. Well I guess I am gonna run for now, but I'll be back! Blessings~ Maudie

As sad as I feel to say this, I must. We are shutting off the internet. So for awhile I will not be posting. The only way I will post is if I go to my friends house and only if I have a huge announcement. Like a new baby ( hint hint ;-} ). We had a WONDERFUL time at the beach and I am so thankful that my MIL ( despite all our problems and differences) invited us and was so kind to pay for everything. I am going on for now, but I will post when I can, until then keep my family in your prayers and I will be praying for everyone too :-) Love and Blessings~ Maudie

Well we about to embark on our second week of homeschooling for the new school year! I am excited and feel that things are going much smoother this year than last. I am loving the way I have my classroom set up and I am also happy that the kiddos seem to be enjoying school. James is really making progress and although its only been 1 week of school, Taylor's reading has improved by leaps and bounds. She will be a class A reader in no time. I am so proud of all of them. I am thankful for the family that God has blessed me with. They are great and I can't wait to see what the Lord has planned for them and for their lives. In other news, on the job fromt, I believe that Cameron is talking to his boss now about his job situation. I secretly hope that Cameron doesn't take the contractor job and that he goes on unemployment. And that is him .... calling on the phone.... I have to go. I will update later.

Well today is going to be our second day of school. Yesterday went well and James actually seems to be adjusting to sitting and minding me. He did seem to get bored with the big kid stuff, but when it came to his work time he really enjoyed it. I am pleased to say that although I am sure there will be frustrating days, I feel that this is going to be a success. I am going to try to occupy my mind with school and planning and I am determined to learn to sew also. I have been so occupied with the whole "trying to get pregnant" thing that I am leaving everything else on the backburner. Another month has went by and still no pregnancy. I am sad, but also I am tired. I am off of fertility friend as soon as I start again. I am also done with one of the message boards that I was on. I am going to let go of all this, because it is no longer healthy for me to concern myself with this. God may not have any more children planned for me and if thats the case I have no chance but to be co...

I wanted to update on Cameron's job. He is more than likely going to take the job as a contractor with his current boss. His boss has offered to let us buy the truck and needed tools for a very reasonable price and we will then be able to make monthly payments to his boss or ex boss might I say, to get it piad off. I guess thats what Cameron will do, because it is either that or be fired and draw less than $300.00 a week, which is just not feasable for us. So please continue praying and hopefully the Lord is really working in this. I am also having some issues with a lady from my past. I knew her son in highschool and dated him for a little bit. Cameron and I have tried helping him in the last couple of years and we have done alot for them as far as trying to help him better himself. He is now locked up in jail in another state for some very violent crimes against his ex girlfriend. The mother has been calling me late at night, sometimes as late or early ( however you want to think...

I have changed the background on my blog and I plan on changing it with the season as long as keep blogging :-) As I sit here: listening to the sounds of my 5 year old son whine like an infant and hear the sounds of my girls argueing and as I type I have to fight off my kittens so I can touch the keys on the keyboard: I realize something..... I LOVE MY LIFE!!!!! I know that this is a strange time to realize it, but I do. As I was taking a shower and praying, it just struck me how blessed I really am. As I was praying that this is the month that the Lord will bless us again with another sweet baby, I realized that even if He doesn't, I am so blessed already. Yes, I long to grow another baby in my womb and then hold that precious child in my arms, and of course watch that child grow into hopefully a faithful servant of our Lord and heavenly Father. But I am already the moma to 4 wonderful, although difficult at time, children. My 5 year old son is rude to me at times and mean to his ...

Its been a long time since I have wrote in here. Not much has really happened. I am just busy preparing for the upcoming school year. We are starting school August 3rd. We have been blessed to have been given 3 wonderful school desk. That makes 4 for me total, which is all I need at the moment. I have been using my old dining room table for our school table. We will still use it, but we will be able to do alot more with desk and we can utilize the space on the table for crafts, and wisdom booklet time. All in all I am very excited. There is nothing else that has really went on, so I guess for now I will go. I'll try to write again soon! I hope that I can post some pictures soon too, as soon as I figure out how :-) Blessings~ Maudie

I have been thinking on this for awhile, but in light of some tragic things that have happenned this past week to an aquaintance of mine on a message board that I am on, I have decided to forgo blogging for a little while. I don't share too much ( I don't think I do ) but you never know what people may use against you if the situation becomes right. I am also in need of just a down time period from the internet. I have alot to prepare for with school starting back soon too. I promise I will update when and if the Lord blesses us again with another wee lil" babe, but until then, this is probably goodbye~ Be Blessed, Maudie

I know that I haven't wrote for awhile, but we have been busy. Cameron worked this past weekend and I enjoyed my first Bible study on the book "Created to be His HelpMeet". I met several other interesting ladies and we are now looking forward to our first meeting of our new Home Church( which is yet to be named) this coming up Sunday which will be Father's Day. I am also trying to recover today from being up almost all night last night with James. He was sick with the croup and I was so scared that he was going to have an asthma attack.Thank the Lord we were able to get up and go to the Doctor this morning and get him some much needed steriods and sp hopefully tonight will be a better night when it comes to sleep. I miss Cameron today ( as I do most all days) and I am sooooo ready for him to come home. Speaking of that, I guess I had better go put on my meatloaf. I know it is going to take an hour or more to cook and it is already 3:30. I am also making mashed potatoe...

Well today is Thursday and I woke up with a headache. I did have a wonderful day yesterday though. We had so much fun at the State Park and I am going to post several pics once I get them uploaded on my computer and can figure out how to post them on this blog. I love my new camera. I am so thankful that Jennifer and Jason gave us such a good deal on it. God is good. Tomorrow is my first Bible study session at another lady's house. I am excited about that too. Well I have lots to do and catch up on since we were gone yetserday and will be busy tomorrow too. So If I don't post for a day or two, its because I am SO busy. Be blessed! Blessings~ Maudie

Okay, that was wierd. I just typed a whole post and when I went to add a coma to my sentence, the whole post disappeared. So I will type it again. I am sitting here listening to my kids go in and out and I am thinking about the stuff I need to be doing. I just made a gallon of sweet tea and I believe my next task will be to make some lunch. I started my cycle today so we know we are not pregnant. I also cancelled my appointment this morning with my Ob/Gyn and instead, ask for a nurse to call me back. We are going to postpone the HSG until after my August cycle and give my body time to do its on thing as the Lord intended. I am also done with temping and charting for now. It was good for a season, but has caused me too much stress that I don't need. I must get my focus on the upcoming school year, as it is fast approaching and I am looking forward to rekindleling my romance with my beloved. I have been so focused on "baby" making that it has kinda replaced the "loving...

It is Monday once again..... And another week starts over. We are busy this week, as we have a ton to do. Tomorrow I have an appointment with my Obb/Gyn to get a recheck after my eptopic and schedule my HSG to see if my tubes are open. Then Wednesday we are going to spend the day with some friends on at an area State park. Then the rest of the week is going to be spent organizing and doing the rest of my Spring ( or shall I say summer ;0) cleaning. Last but not least, I have been invited to a Bible Study on the book "Created to be His Helpmeet" so I will be attending that monthly. I am also super excited about that. I am also feeling a little more optimistic about other things in general. I am trying to lean more on the Lord daily. I want my life to be a billboard for the Lord and His awesome works .I believe that I can make a huge difference in more lives if I continue to stay strong in the dedication of my life to the Lord's purpose. I am also planning for the upcoming ...

Howdy Folks! Its me again. I know that when I started this blog, I swore I was NOT gonna let it fall by the wayside and its looks like maybe I did :-) Anyways I am writing now and thats all that counts. I am anxious as I sit here. I will go ahead and share. I think I MIGHT be expecting!!!! I am so excited. I have not really screamed it at Cameron, but he knows that I went and bought some test. I am waiting until Saturday morning to take one. I pray that I am. If not, then I don't know what the heck is going on with me, My body is morphing into something else, lol. Like something that is nauseous, LOVES hard bolied eggs with a slice of dill pickle, and someone who is very well blessed in the chest department. I am working on being thankful in all things, so even if I am not, I am still going to praise God! I Love my Father in Heaven and I know that He always has my best interest in mind. But oh how I pray that this is my best intrest and that we are indeed expecting again. In othe...
