Prayer

El Shaddai Lyrics

Adalai

This is my girl yesterday... She turned 15 weeks old yesterday. Wow...

Well we leave in 3 weeks from now for London and I am getting really excited. Still haven't had much time to read my folder for it, but I have been praying. I think my mother in law and I are getting together to kind of prepare for our trip. My aunt gave me a huge bag to check and I am thinking of traveling w/ one backpack as my carryon and no purse... Anyhow, I love how my aunt is really excited about helping me pack and giving me tips. She told me to bring duct tape and flashlight and batteries. All I really know I need is diaps and wipes for Ada. Otherwise we'll be fine. I am bringing my skirts and shirts and my Ergo , the only other thing that I look forward to getting is my crocs.
I really hope I can stay w/ K... That is one of my only worries... But I need to just let the Lord work it out I am scared though if I can't... Ugh anyhow... That is all for now. We are going to the ski show tonight so I am really excited. Anyhow, just thought I would pop in and write while I am on the phone w/ my Grams...
Peace and Blessings

what a cutie!

take a sec and watch how cute!

3 Weeks and 3 days until I leave

Oh my gosh I am so excited/scared/nervous/worried... but the Lord is certainly providing. Financial support has increased, wahooo! Anyhow, I am raising prayer support now, and have to make a list of people who will pray for me while I am gone... can you please? Post a comment or email me, if I can add you to my list as prayer support and then you will get updates from me while I am overseas. I am all of a sudden struck with the fact that I am running out of time before our trip. I have learned a little bit about Islm, not too much but a bit. I am working on the folder that they give you w/ different things to read in it, and I also have a book that deals with "hot and cold cultures" that I am suggested to read before I leave. OH my goodness, I am going to have to start staying up late to get all of this finished. Right now is naptime, so I am taking a quick rest and then I am going to take whatever time left that I have (W usually sleeps until 3ish, but the little one is very unpredictable) to wash the dishes and the floor, and then dive into my studies. I am going to really make it a main focus of mine to spend real quality time with Wyatt... My friend K posted a blog the other day bout how she never really knows if she is spending enough time on the floor w/ her little one, and I feel the same way. Please pray for peace of mind for me and that the priorities kind of fall into place because I am having a hard time right now... being super busy and trying to finish my folder and whatnot, plus spend time with W before we leave.
Feeding issues w/ Adi are getting better which I praise God for...
Anyhow, wow the baby just woke up, as if right on que... Peace out!

Wowza

It takes me by suprise when my husband posts a blog. I mean I named it Gedde Adventures for a reason, but I am always suprised when he posts, just because I didn't see him as a bloggin type of man, yet he tends to really pour his heart into it, and for that I am so thankful. Most of the stuff that he writes really blesses me too, so that is really great. He is right though when he says that he sees God's grace and peace in Wyatt and Adalai. I am astounded by that every day. When I get over upset at Wyatt for something he knowingly did, and then I myself realize that he is almost two years old, and feel like a fool for getting frustrated over spilled milk or whatever, and then realize that he has already forgiven me. What an amazing thought. That God forgives and heals things so abundantly. It is amazing. Prayer is so powerful. I just got home from my pastors house and got to spend a couple hours w/ a few other people learning about God and actually learning about Satan... It is really a wonderful thing when you really get into the "meat and potatoes" of the Bible. Anyhow I am always suprised when people ask me why I spend so much time with church stuff... And I just want to say that it is because I am spending the church time with my family! I mean seriously these people are my bro's and sis's... It is so amazing...
My mom blessed me incredibly today. She asked me for a list of things that I needed for my trip. I emailed her a list of like 5 things that were kind of things that are neccesities (undies! and socks!)... When I told Ben that I did this, he said that this is how she would probably contribute... is to do this type of thing. She was always the type to give a gift of undies at Christmas (when Ben and I first started dating he thought we were SO wierd for that) so anyhow she called and asked me for sizes and whatnot, and then called me this afternoon and told me that she got everything but two things on the list! OH my gosh is that an amazing blessing. How awesome. Thanks so much mom.... Love you!
We have a busy week this week. It is really a fun time though. We were really blessed by the use of my father-in-laws truck this week and last, and have gotten a bunch done during the day, having the Buick for the kids and I. (Thanks Andy for following and picking up Ben and W with the whole truck thing) Anyhow, gotta get ready for laundry day tomorrow.
Peace to you all..

What is a real christian?

Do you believe? do you hope or even pray that you'll make the code, why is it that I hear people say well you believe you should know your getting in right. Dont clutter my mind with your foolish banter I feel like yelling. I am a chistian I hope and pray i make the code but will I... Here I sit angry and confused repulsed to hear my own thoughts. I have cars and crap alike but misery follows me, doubt sits by my side keeping me busy answering stupid questions about what kind of human am I. My two year old shows God in his eyes and i see him in my daughters presence.My heart feels hard,dried up and sick...


Lord most high, Hear my prayer...
My eyes are dry, My faith is old, My heart is hard, My prayers are cold
And i know how i aut to be
alive to you and dead to me
so what can be done for an old heart like mine
soften it up with oil and wine
the oil is you, your spirit of love
please a knew in the wine of your blood...(K.G.)


Father open my heart to you and away from this wicked place.
Forgive my sins
teach me to love as you do
Thank you for grace
grace called Sara

12 oz Coke Kind of day...

I was reading a blog from someone the other day... Her name is Kristy, never met her before, but find the stuff that she talks about really cool. She is the mother of two and is also the face of many products, such as Downy and Nuva Ring... Anyhow, I read a post the other day of hers that was about her day of being able to treat herself to a 12 oz coke because of all the stuff she had gone through. Now if you get a chance to read her blog, my day was definetly nothing like hers, but oh my gosh was it busy today! I picked up my 85 year old Grandma at about 9am, went to Country Caring and visited Big Grams, came home, took a shower, fed and changed the kids, then went to Noodles for Lunch, then shopping at Walmart and Piggly Wiggly, then home to try and get the crazy toddler down for nap, which didn't happen. Played outside, went to the library and the park, then here we are now, getting dinner made, I thought I would sit down for a rest while W cries about not being outside and Ada is busy with her Great Grandmother, but anyhow, wow I feel like it is definetly a 12 oz Coke day for myself.
Anyhow, no replies or responses on the letters I sent out last week, the second round. I guess in some cases, though it is like no news is good news.
They are repaving our parking lot, which resulted in an increase in rent. Not needed. Ugh that stresses me out!
Well I gotta get the rest of dinner finished, just thought I would log in and blog quick.
Peace ya'll.
