Happy Birthday Logan!

HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY LOGAN!

Today is my first baby's 4th birthday! I am amazed that he is already 4! He is becoming quite the young man. I was telling Dustin the other night, what I difference I have seen in Logan in the past few months. His vocabulary is expanding and we are able to have complete conversations with him. He is learning to express his feelings in a better, more mature way. He is a wonderful big brother to Luke. He truly brings so much joy to our family! I love my little man so much and am so proud to be his mommy! Below are some pictures from his special day!

He chose to have lunch at Applebees for his birthday. While there Dustin, Luke and I gave him his first gift...a Thomas the Tank Engine (new!) video! He will get his other gifts at his big birthday party on Saturday!

Luke enjoyed Brother's birthday lunch too! If you are looking at his crazy hair and wondering why his mother would let his hair get so long, well you will no longer have to wonder...haircuts for both boys on Friday! HA!

Does anyone else have trouble getting their children to pose for pictures??!!

The wonderful waitresses sang "Happy Birthday" to him and brought him a birthday sundae, which he loved!!

Both sets of Grandparents along with Aunt Heather and Lyndsey came over tonight for a mini-birthday celebration! He was very excited for the cake and his favorite ice cream!

I told you he was excited!!

Of course, Luke was excited for cake and ice cream too!

Here is our birthday boy after a long but fun day! I wonder what time he will go to bed tonight after all of the sugar he ate today! Oh well, birthdays only come once a year!

Happy Birthday Logan!

Daddy, Mommy and Lukey love you very much!

Please Pray

Once again I am asking everyone to get on their knees and pray for a precious, miracle, little baby boy named Stellan. He is in the hospital with a very high heart rate. This is a very serious condition and we all need to lift him up in prayer. Please go to his Mommy's blog to get all of the information on this sweet baby.

Thanks God!

Do you ever have those days when you just feel out of sorts? Do you ever feel anxious or overwhelmed? This is the way that I am feeling this morning!

I was up late last night and had a hard time falling asleep once I got into bed because my mind was just running. I am a worrier. I have mentioned that before and how I am not proud of this. I know that worry does not come from God! I have personally learned that about 99% of the things I worry about, never come about!!

I tend to get worried and feel unsettled when I am not spending time in prayer or reading my Bible. I begin to live in "what if" land!

We were up early today and while the boys were eating breakfast and watching "Dora the Explorer" I felt the need to get out my Beth Moore "Breaking Free Day by Day" devotional. I opened it and began to flip to today's reading. However, I ended up looking at yesterdays reading too. Here is the verse from yesterday:

Matthew 11:28

"Come to Me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

That is me!! I am weary and burdened, because of my own doing, but still! Jesus tells me that when I am feeling like this to come to Him and He will give me rest. How awesome is that! I can focus on Him and not on my worries. When I turn my focus to Him and away from my worries, I realize that the worries are wrong and only bringing harm to me.

When you really think about it, who wants to live their life in a way that is harmful. I don't want to go through my day living in "what if" land!! I want to be full of joy and happiness. When I worry about needless things, I am robbing myself of joy and happiness. See what happens when you are able to get a little rest...you are able to think more clearly!!

The thought also came to mind that I might have had a better night and morning if I would have read yesterday's passage YESTERDAY!! Hello!!

Thank you God! This is just what I needed today!!

Have a blessed day everyone!
