I can't say enough positive things about this....

By -
Several months ago a friend posted this sermon link on Facebook. I'll just get it said now, because maybe its weird - I do like listening to sermons online. I'd actually rather listen to a good sermon series than read a good book {sorry, Mom, I still don't love reading}.
This one caught my attention because, lets face it, how many sermons have you heard preached from the book of Habakkuk? I don't think I've heard any. Probably heard a Pastor read a verse or two from Habakkuk, but I've never actually heard a sermon series from the book. So that peaked my curiosity first.
I turned on the first sermon and found myself unable to move from the computer. I kept turning the volume higher, so I could hear over 3 kids playing in the playroom.
I have 2 sermons left before I'm finished, I've posted the link about 3 different times on Facebook and really, honestly can't say enough about it that would do it justice. I am so thankful God gave Matt Chandler these words to speak and has grown him in his faith and maturity in God's grace so that he can deliver such powerful messages of God's truth and mercy.

Seriously. Maybe take a break from TV shows for a week {because we all know those are just a waste of time anyway} and give this series a listen.
Here is one of my most favorite quotes {so far} from I think the 2nd sermon...

"Everything you think, everything you do, every place you go is seen by God. One of the reasons we're so comfortable in our sin is because we've lost a respect for the presence of God." 
- Matt Chandler, taken from Job 28:24 & Psalm 69:5

Thanks for sharing this! We have illness in the fam right now and will probably be spending Sunday at home. That will give us a chance to give it a listen!

One Thousandth blog post + GIVEAWAY!!

By -
This marks the  one thousandth blog post   for me !  If you added the blogging over at Jastef.net, I'm sure it would be far more, but I haven't blogged over there since Kara was a baby. For my simple mind, Blogger worked out much better for me. Sorry, husband.  I've been at this blogging thing for almost 8 years and I'm still not sick of it! I like to write {never thought I'd say that} and I really enjoy interacting with people; friends and then strangers who become friends.  Its great and its been a great way for us to share our day-to-day life with our families, since we moved.  Jason and I have been mulling around what I should do for a 1,000 blog post giveaway, just for fun. Not because I think my 1,000 post is as special to all of you as it is to me. We tossed around the idea of a Kindle, since Amazon dropped the price, but it was still... too much for me. We settled on a fun idea. You get to pick the final result, so read on and then be sure to l

keeping the sickies away

Probably like most of you Moms, I've been sick of being sick throughout the winter. Its such a fun, holiday time of year and totally stinks when you're stuck inside, with illnesses. And, if you're not a fan of getting a vaccine for every little bug that goes around, you end up realizing you have to do your research to learn how to build up the immune systems and keep your brood healthy. I'm also learning that when it comes to sickness {we're talking sickness that won't cause death}, its actually good for our bodies to learn to fight things off naturally and not constantly running to get shots or drugs to cure us from ever getting sick again {which those shots don't do anyway}.  I'm no pro and my oldest child isn't even 7 yet, so I'm definitely not posting this to teach you ladies anything. And, for those of you with older kids, feel free to leave tips for how you keep your family healthy or natural ways to fight off colds and viruses.
