1. Wednesday Night Bible Study- I'm glad I got back to going once the kids club started again..the kids look forward to it..and I look forward to the "study"...when I mean study..we read verses and dissect it...we are in 1 timothy..and let me tell you what..its lively discussion...
it has made me really dive into my bible here lately...especially talking about women and their roles in the church... which ultimately made me question women in the bible..how they were treated how they were looked at....but ultimately how Jesus treated women.. as I started out last night trying to beginning looking in the right places about women in the bible..their roles at church..their roles in a marriage...then How Jesus viewed women..I was on to something but verses contradicted each other I thought... then looking this morning at a few articles... I have a better understanding of how I feel about it... If I'm ever a feminist its on these issues... as women it can be demoralizing to read the bible about their roles and what not... Originally God created us equal but when Eve ate the forbidden fruit that is when things changed. Which I find irritating that it always comes back to EVE... either way...I don't think it would be a big deal to be submissive to a husband if 1. The husband loved his wife the way the bible says but also on the other hand I need to love my husband the way the Lord instructs wives to love their husband...hmm..i can see what this COULD turn into so I'll stop there... its just hard for me here lately studying Paul's writings in 1 Timothy because I feel like he is a "woman hater"... but ultimately I feel like he was talking to certain women in that time in certain congregations... my biggest hope or faith is the way Jesus broke from tradition with how he treated women. I'm still weary on if I believe or don't believe women should be pastors...or if wives should not work out of the home..or what is really a "submissive" wife or not one....or a lot of things..hmm I've stumped myself and will continue to read and study..and pray for wisdom for me :) ..oh and that I don't hate on Paul too much!
I'm 19 weeks pregnant! and one day (today)... I can't believe it...I can't believe we will have our ultrasound next Monday at 8am!...I'm so excited! so we had been going back and forth how we wanted to tell our kids... if you have talked to them they are very adamant on what this baby is... either way we decided on a Cake.. thankful I have a awesome cousin that can bake anything agreed to make a cake for us. I'm excited to see the kids reactions!...Either way I will have a disappointed kid..I will...but I'm hopeful whichever one is disappointed takes it well :)... Sondra did comment when we went to the zoo and her teacher's toddler son came along that maybe it would be okay if she had another brother since that little boy is so cute!...(Stuart was cute in the beginning too Sis didn't want to remind her of that) and also Stuart will have an episode where Stuart will say its a girl..but then quickly say No its a brother! lol...Jake says its a girl!!!...and really I'm most frustrated that I can't tell you my guess..its just IDK!... at times i think maybe this is a girl...but then I hear the heart rate and I think that's more like Stuart's numbers was... hmm....I can tell you I'll be thoroughly happy either way...and *hopefully* the baby cooperates and we can get serious about a name...we have a boys name..but not final on a girl..so we shall see...if you have any suggestions for a girl's name feel free to tell me!!!>..remember it has to start with a S and Middle name has to start with a R.... :) :) Thank you!
this weekend was nice weekend... we stayed home Friday night since it was rainy out! Saturday we woke up and I made Breakfast bowels and burritos and me and Sondra went to Greenville with Grandpa & Grandma Clum and Aunt Rachel & Kids to a bridal shower... love seeing our Greenville Clum family...then I did what I love most about being an Aunt...I got to watch my niece Kimberlynn- John & Katie's little lady. Which she was a doll of course....having a baby in the house made me kinda excited for ours to come..and holding her in my chair while she slept really made me want February to come even sooner..I can't help but boast but I have been blessed with some pretty cute Nieces and Nephews :) ..but look at this little lady! isn't she a doll!~
Here is a funny...tonight Sondra has "cheerleader camp"... its Monday through Wednesday and then on Friday she cheers for a quarter at the game..lol... oh this should be fun!.... I've really got to remind myself this is just one week and doesn't mean she will always want to cheer..and I need to be "supportive"..but while talking on the phone at lunch with Jake he says: "this sounds bad but I hope she has the most awful time tonight!".... lol... Right there with you..I do not look forward to the days where my evenings are full of plans and we have to run around... its coming..but I'm still enjoying the laid back life with kiddies!
Well I gotta get going!!!!... Hope all is well and pray for me this week is going to be busy... Thursday is head-shots..Saturday is Sibling shoot and Sunday is Family, individual kids which includes a *six week old*photo shoot..how fun!
