I'm not sure who this family is, but I was touched by this video that I found at yoursacredcalling.
Watch the story of Baby Elliot.

Randomness Part I
It's late, I should be in bed sleeping, but I took a nap today and was having trouble falling asleep...my natural default, um the internet. Especially since i could not get our computer working today, but my dear husband figured the problem out when he got home from work. So, quick little blog since I haven't written anything substantial in awhile. Um, what's is happening here is life? I am so loving my home and kitchen and just being a mom to my wonderful boys. I am not organized enough to take pictures and write about everything that I do, but I figure there is so much on the internet that if someone is really interested in sprouting lentils, which I have just done recently, they can look it up and read it somewhere else. (Which is what I did). I don't know that I could ever go completely raw, but I am really interested in eating more raw. At least one thing I've been doing is incorporating green smoothies into my day. My boys love them too which is awesome! I am thorooughly enjoying sprouting grains and beans and lentils. I just sprouted garbanzo beans and made raw hummus, I still have not found a hummus recipe that I like. If anyone has one, let me know. Why sprout? ....ow, my eyes are starting to hurt, it's time I ought to go to bed. Okay, so I'll write more later!

Cherry Surprise
I love Mondays! Simply because I enjoy being at home with my boys and doing what we do everyday. Our weekends always seem a little busy, and I am such a homebody that I really just love to be home keeping house, and living life with my boys teaching and training them. This morning we went for a walk and I decided to break up our usual routine and go a different route. We ended our walk by stopping in our apartment comlex by the small grassy area and just exploring a bit. There is not much to it, it's just a small bit of grass in between two apartment buildings. Well we were over by one edge and Moses spotted a bright red berry-looking thing on the ground, about the size of a pea. Well, I looked up only to discover a cherry tree! How fun and wonderful! The cherries aren't the big kind, but small and a bit sour, but cherries nontheless. The boys were pretty excited, so I picked a few and brought them home.

Bless the Lord
"Lift up your hands to the holy place and bless the Lord!" Psalm 134:2
This verse has blessed me and helped me to lift my eyes higher as I
have been reminded, since reading it a couple days ago, that I am to
bless the Lord. I often pray and ask the Lord to bless me and my
family and provide for our needs(which is a good thing), but I really
needed to be reminded that I am to bless the Lord even more than I
seek him simply to give me what I want. There is another verse that I
am reminded of that says, "Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises
of Israel." Which means that God dwells in our praises (according to
the footnote in my ESV bible). I don't quite understand it perfectly,
but what I do understand is the more I lift my eyes from myself onto
the Lord, the greater he becomes in my life. If he dwells in the
praises of his people, his presence will be greater when our hearts
our worshiping him. This has been an encouragement to my heart.
My desire more than ever before is for things to be simple in my life.
Looking to the Lord not only for his provision, but looking to him in
praise and in order to bless his name helps me realize how simple this
life is meant to be. I was created to glorify God by enjoying him
forever. I need not worry about the little things, nor the big
things. We serve a great and mighty God who is able. That is it, he
is able and we are not. We need only to lean upon the Lord, for ALL
things, and simply enjoy the Lord and bless his name.

Green Drink
I've really enjoyed experimenting with green smoothies. They are so yummy and easy to make. This one has Kale and a nectarine in it. It's great because my boys really enjoy them too.
