Having some rough days

Photobucket
I am so thankful my relationship with the Lord is stronger now then a couple months ago cause I really need Him. He sustains me through so much. Life has been over whelmingly hard this past week. There's been a lot of tears and many emotions. I wish I could spill it all but it would leave a terrible mess on this little blog. I just thank GOD for being faithful and consistent because so many others in my life are not. I CANNOT wait till Dec. 22nd when we board a plane and leave for 2.5 weeks. Being in Seattle is always refreshing to me and is good for my soul. I am not totally sure why we don't live there. . .hmm? Oh yeah, we have a wonderful church that has emplyed my husband. He's their first paid Youth Pastor and he's doing some wonderful things with the youth program. Parents are thrilled and kids that would come once in a while are now coming regularly cause they love it. It's been very encouraging and THAT is why we're here. God wants us here.

Keep up the good work, Kami (& Dave)! The Lord does want you there, and he is faithful to bless those in obedience to him - whether your reward is now or in heaven, we don't know, but that doesn't alter his faithfulness!

We love when you guys come visit here, too! We are really hoping that we'll be able to spend a lot of time together :)

It IS so good to know that the LORD is God! The ladies in our small group have been studying the names of God and I've been so blessed by that. I've had a few days lately, too, where I'm just holding on to God, or rather, HE'S holding on to me...

It's a . . .

BOY!! Liam is a big brother to a beautiful baby boy! Gabriel Asher was born at 8:55 PM on March 16th. He weighed 9lbs. 2.9oz and was 21 inches long. We were at church for a meeting with all the youth workers and after the meeting I (Kami) was having more intense contractions and just not feeling right. A mother of a couple of our high school girls offered to take me home with them and let me rest at their house while Dave stayed at church to run our Sunday night youth group. It wasn't long after arriving at their house that my water broke. I called for Dave to come pick me up and we headed to the hospital. It was slightly under 3 hours later that our little boy came into the world. It was quick and everything went smoothly. Gabriel got a 9 out of 10 on both his apgar tests which made us proud. He's nursing like a pro and so beautiful! ...

A mother of 3 boys

I have to be honest in hopes that it will encourage you to pray for me. I now have a 5yo, 4yo and 2yo. I am over whelmed and had my first major break down today. I say "major" because I have actually had many breakdowns but this was the first with tears I just couldn't control. This is WAY harder then I thought it would be. Or maybe it's just that the "difficult things" I tried to prepare myself for aren't very tough at all. There are many things that I just wasn't prepared for and it's knocking me off my feet. The boys are acting like brothers. Yes, this sounds like a good thing. The issue? That means they fight. . . there's screaming, scratching, pushing and biting involved. It's not all the time but I have to watch them so things don't get out of hand. I have been so tired. I don't think it has anything to do with the jet lag anymore but more of just a physical issue I have struggled with since Gabriel was born 2 years ago. I a...

Stinky, Uncontrollable Moments

The boys and I were going to join Dave at Quest (middle school camp) in Olympia this weekend. Dave is the Quest director and although he'd be working and busy we were excited to be able to go and have a weekend away. So, why am I now sitting on my couch watching Ice Age with my family on Friday night instead of hanging out with middle schoolers at camp? Let me share the insane story with you. . .           We hit the road in our van and while driving over White Pass we had car trouble. . . bad enough that we couldn't drive the van any farther.           In the rain, Dave worked and worked to try and fix the belt that partially tore and then came off it's track. We didn't have cell service so we had no idea what to do.           Finally, a Good Samaritan stopped and offered us a ride to Naches (the closest town back towards Yakima). ...
