Kate says it so well...

Yes I am totally and utterly in love with Jon and Kate plus 8. The children are amazingly beautiful and well behaved for the most part. Jon and Kate love each other to the moon and back again and still they argue and fight over dumb stuff. I love watching the episodes and I love watching them grow as a family. They are truly in it until end and nothing and noone will stop them. I love that they realize that they are not perfect and they just try, try, try. I hope to one day try that hard in my marriage (I think I am spelling that wrong).

ANyway I just finished reading her book (thank you hunny) and I found some really cool scripture to live by. It seems to work for her so why not apply it to my life...

Philippians 4:19
And my GOD will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus

Lamentations 3:22-23
Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning

Isiah 40:31
those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint

I loved the six lessons she learned from GOD...
GOD is in control
GOD is gracious and strong
GOD can be trusted
GOD is love
GOD will provide
Give GOD the glory and praise

WOW!!! THis reminds me to open my bible more often and really read the word and soak it up. I need to apply more of HIM to my life, no I need to hand over my all to HIM. I, once again, will try way harder to just give it all to HIM and live through HIM.

Maybe I am rambling sorry. I just feel that those times I just relax and give my struggles to HIM, to GOD, I am so thankful and it makes it so much better.

SO here I am GOD. My life is in your hands and I am just your child obeying your commands. My relationship with SHawn is up to you, where we go with it is in your hands (I really like him LORD). My financial situation is at your door, tell me where to turn with my money and I shall obey. My work stresses are at your feet, please teach me to be whatever you have planned for me to be and I shall follow. My family is in your hands, teach me to preach the gospel to them without offending them (I do wish for my whole family to be saved). My friends, the ones I shall make and the ones I have, are at your fate; you choose who shall stay and who shall leave, who shall come into my life and who won't. My health is also in your hands, what you say goes with how I spend my days on this earth.

I read her book too and I actually did enjoy it more than I thought I would. I think their kids are adorable and they say the funniest things!

I really enjoyed reading this post. Just as encouragement always remember Kate's first lesson that God is in control, He is soveriegn over everything. So even if those things in your last paragraph don't go the way you want, know that he is good and in control. The one thing that Jesus promised to all who repent and pick up their cross and follow Him are trials and tribulations. While it's never our intention to offend people just remember that the gospel is offensive and foolishness to those who are perishing. Jesus said that people will hate you because they first hated Him. Christian, our hope is not in this life and in this world, but our hope is a future hope, when Christ returns. Persecution will come your way if you stay true to Christ, but Christ said blessed are they who are persecuted for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Stay in the Word everyday and continue to proclaim the Gospel. You are in my prayers. Stay faithful Christian.
God bless!!
