Cannot wait to share this with Justis tomorrow and I have not even watched it yet! He has suffered with Lyme’s Disease for the past three years. He got a tick bite (nothing unusual for him, he is in the woods hunting all the time) in August and began having symptoms in January. They ran all kinds of tests in the hospital and could not figure out what was wrong with him. A liver specialist decided to ck for Lyme’s and it came bk positive. He is doing better but still has some side effects from it… hope you can get rid of it for good! (:

Andrea, how informative this is about Lyme. e all need to be aware of ticks. I had tried to send you an e-mail before …glad to know ya’ll know what you are working with. I will ask ID Doc’s around here if they have any extra thoughts. I had Rocky Mountain spotted fever….it was sans a vibrant rash….I was unable to walk…I was put on a series of antibiotics but it wasn’t right …I felt ok and then rolled down again…ER visit did not originally find the tick..it was found about 2 -3 months later…and it had grown ! It found a hiding place…until it was destroyed I did not truly get better. SO , I say …really listen to your body. You know when things feel different. Will be praying that all you are doing works !

I just love everything about that nativity. Who makes it? I’ve been looking for an African theme nativity for years, long before we had our Ethiopian babes.

Hey Andrea,

I pray over my kids that my ceiling would be their floor. I want them to be launched into Kingdom stuff!

Deborah - December 2, 2011 - 7:24 am

Probably one of the most beautiful managers I’ve ever seen.

Elle J - December 2, 2011 - 9:44 am

What a blessing – rejoicing with you. I know the beaming of your heart; the absolute best day when my kiddos accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior and were Baptized – tears of joy and thankfulness. =) Happy Birthday to Laney!

Staci - December 2, 2011 - 9:53 pm

Especially loved this post, for many reasons. Praise God for Laney’s love for Jesus and desire to trust God with all her heart! What a day of rejoicing for your family! I hope she enjoyed a very special birthday, too. Thanks for sharing Jesus with all of us…

I LOVE this project, just need a little more info….How did you do Mary and Joseph and the manger? Did you do it? Did you tear them from something else? Need me some details here, so we can get started!

Blessings to you!

My girl…

Today…is the LAST day… that she’ll ever be 5. Oh my heart. I’ll wake up in the morning…and she’ll be 6! I had to get the camera out before bed-time and document the last few moments of her being 5. Grieving this a bit over here;)…how I love my baby girl! And she’s upstairs…asleep right […]

There really is nothing like a daughter, is there? They especially stand out in the midst of a gaggle of brothers, don’t they? My little Ellie has me wrapped around her finger. I pray God gives me another girl someday!

Joy Portis - November 30, 2011 - 11:48 pm

Beautiful, just beautiful! You are both so precious! Happy Birthday Princess!

Kim - November 30, 2011 - 11:51 pm

Happy Birthday Laney!
The twins turn six in a few weeks … I know all too well that ache of babies growing up too fast! Love & Blessings, Kim

Amy - December 1, 2011 - 12:11 am

I understand the holding on… My kids look forward to their birthday because momma rocks them, sings songs to them and reads “their” special story. Even my 11 year old son looked forward to his turn a few weeks ago. No matter how big they get, we will continue as long as they let me….

Oh my goodness, you have got me CRYING this morning! My sweet girl is turning 6 in 14 days and I just can’t believe it. I sent her back to school today after being off for Thanksgiving and then 3 sick days and this makes me want to just go snatch her up and bring her back home to me! 😉

Alison - December 1, 2011 - 9:17 am

Oh, that made my cry! Happy Birthday to your precious PRINCESS!!!

Candy - December 1, 2011 - 10:44 am

Oh, that we would always have the heart of a child towards God!

Rory - December 1, 2011 - 5:58 pm

Oh my heart. Do they have to grow up? Happy Birthday sweet Lou-bear.
