Last of this month and next to come
It has begun! The schedule of life has started it run and the vacation time has been placed on the back burner. The hussle and bussle of the Holidays are already upon us and the Holiday months are still months away. While our local retailers are introducing the Holidays sooner and sooner every year, we have not choice but to have them on our minds. Christmas in October....WHAT?! I will say however that if you are a bargain shopper, there are bargains to be had right now at most of the craft stores in our nation for the Christmas season. As a member of our floral committee of our church, these are a welcomed sites when deciding what the theme will be for this years Christmas. Oh and it is not just Christmas...It is Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years all in one lump sum that continues to grow in surplus as each Holiday grows closer and closer. The turn over rates at retail stores are just amazing. One day you walk in the retailers doors and are assulted by back to school supplies/clothes and the next day they have changed to sales on supplies, and Costumes are this way... WOW... They have got it down to an art these days. Talk about time flying....
It is so alarming and amazing at how quick our weekends now fill up. Our little family already have every weekend in September planned. From a Anniversary/birthday trip, another B-day party, church bazaar, and shows.... it is promising to be busy and exciting Month. It is one of the busiest months for our little family because of birthdays and an anniversary. As usual we go from trying to jam everything we wanted to get done during the summer into the one month before school started back and then add in our busiest month--which comes next. Hopefully it will run smoothly and we will all build upon numerous memories. 
The Steece Quads are all doing great! Big Ben will be going home very soon and his one and only sister to follow suit with in a couple of days of that. They are saying that twins are not quit ready to go home yet but they are making great progress. Their mommy and daddy are a bit nervous and excited to have them come home.It was truly sooner than they were expecting to everything is a bit rushed at this point. At this early in the game, they will have learn how to tag team in so that someone will be at home with with one or two and someone at the NICU with the other two. Please continue to pray for them and for all the strength and stamina that they will need to minister to this little miracles of life that God gave them. They are so blessed beyond measures. 
God knows I can only handle the ones I have now. I learned this weekend what it would be like to chase 4 children around the same age and let me tell you.... GOD KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING!!! I can bearly bear my two but when you add 2 more... Talk about all the different personalities, and attitudes of life. I was exhausted beyond my limits of operation and was still trying to kept a watchful eye on my babies and a few others. I got so stressed and upset with in hours and broke down in pieces. This is exactly why God has only graced me with 2 chilren at different ages. I could not handle it. HOWEVER, I think that I am growing and learn everyday so how knows what our future holds...ONLY GOD DOES.
With that said, I would like to thank all those that helped me this weekend realize that its natural to be tired and have some lack of energy but only to a certain point. Thank you for your love, and support and understanding that I am not myself at times.
To my Hubby: I love your more than my own life. God had you in my plan before I was born and was/is grooming me to be your mate for the rest of our lives together. You are absolutely and positively the best thing that has joined my life. You complete me, and make me into a new and better person. I have a long ways to go to be what God needs me to be but with your help and his control on my life I have become that much closer and pray that I will continue to change and allow him to work through you and my life situations to groom me to be more so every day. With God as our controling force, we will grow in his likeness. I can't think of anyone else that I would rather be with to make this journey and lifesong with. I pray that the Lord will be in complete control over myself so that He can groom you too thru me.
I pray that who ever is reading this will see the Lord's hand working for his Glory in our lives. May you all be blessed by abounding spiritual riches uncompariable to earth riches and seek God's face and control everyday to chisel you into his majestic and Glorified being. The Lord watches, creates, makes, and directs everything that we know and see. Trust him to provide for you emotionally, physically, and spiritually. He will reveal great and amazing mysteries to you when you trust him with your soul and life.
I once had a co-worker as me," What if this god that you believe is not real and when you die you won't go anywhere, What if!!!????" I simple replied, "I believe with out seeing and if I am laid to sleep in the ground where there is nothing, I will do it with my whole being with complete faith and knowledge that the Lord Lord and King of Kings...He will raise me to be with him...Lamans terms: I will follow as one of the most devoted children anyone has ever known" He did know what to say other than... WOW...
We can plant the seed for Christ but sometimes we don't get to water it. Sometimes all we only allowed to do is plant it while someone will water it. GOD WILL CAUSE IT TO GROW!!! Our Christian lives are much like a seed and it's growing process. When you plant a seed, water it and it will grow, breaking free of the ground, it is no longer the same... WE AS CHRISTIANS ARE THE SAME !!!! Someone at one time planted Christ in our lives, if we listen to our elders and leaders for Christ, and study God word it is like watering our souls, through time, we will grow and break thru our earth grounded lives and join Christ in the sky in our spiritual beings...
****DO YOU KNOW JESUS BECAUSE HE KNOWS YOU. God knows every hair on your head (Luke 12:6-8 NIV:Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies[a]? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows), and he gave his only son for you (John 3:16 KJV-For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.)
