I have been following the journey of baby Stellan for a few months now. Well, since he was born I guess. His parents were told while he was still in utero that he would not survive due to severe heart issues. They prepared for that, but believed in God for a miracle, and for healing. And when Stellan was born, he was free of any sign of it- It was a miracle! He is now 9 months old, is very sick, and they need another miracle now... I will not go into the whole story, but if you click on the picture below it will link you right to his momma's blog where you can read further if you choose. Please agree with me in prayer for this sweet baby boy as he fights for his life. And for his parents as they ride an emotional and spiritual roller coaster in trying to hold on to their child and let go in knowing that they serve a God that is in control at all times. I have come to love this little baby boy and his family as if they were my own family. And I appreciate you taking the time to pray for them in this time. I have been on my knees with tears streaming down my face more than once for this sweet boy today. Thank you and God bless!

These pics are from last weekend when Hailey and Hayden got to ride in the parade in Erie.
Then this Saturday night Hailey and I went to Lamar to a rodeo.. and boy did she have a ball!! She is really working up to being a cowgirl I think! She loved watching those horses and how the girls worked em! Brenae and Elizabeth both got 2nd place in the poles (one in Jr division and one is Sr).... I will post some pictures of her in her 'cowgirl' getup when I get them. She traded her high heels in for her boots... but wasn't giving up the skirt! :)
Hope you all have a great week!

"When I learn to say yes to God's will I am no longer preoccupied with myself, my abilities or the dreams for my life. Letting go of my dreams means my future will not be the way I always expected it to be. Only then, when I have released my death grip on what I believe God should do, the way I believe He should do it, and when I believe it should happen, am I free to fully receive what God has for me. If God calls me to put my dreams on the alter, I need to trust Him to replace them or revive them in a way that makes the original pale by comparison."

I could not decide on just one... and I think that they go together, and that they both relate to me right now especially as I seek clarity on what God's will is for me in regards to work/career/dreams.... so I hope they speak to you in some way too.
Have a great weekend!

See, I told you the twins were coming soon- and here they are! I could just eat them up with a spoon they are so sweet!! A double scoop of icecream with sprinkles on top! They did so great!! 
and now for the quote:

Have a great week!
