Watching Prince Caspian

Tonight we're watching "Prince Caspian." I think most people know that author C. S. Lewis created religious parodies to his characters in the books, the most well known being Aslan the Lion and Jesus the Christ. Throughout the movie, the characters spend most of their time wondering why Aslan hasn't come to help and them and rely only on their own strength. The youngest girl, Lucy, is the only one who has been able to see or hear Aslan. It's not until they learn that instead of Aslan coming to them, they should have been coming to Him that they are saved. Maybe we all need to spend less time waiting and more time truly SEEKING Christ in our lives.

Thanksgiving in Montana

Here's the pictures from our Thanksgiving trip to Montana:

It's Been A While...

Well, it's been a while since I've last posted. Seems like the past month has gone by in a blur. Thankfully, all is well with us and we continue to be blessed immensely by the Lord. It's hard to believe that it's already December! The weather has definitely been cold enough, but we're still without much snow. The biggest change in the past month has been Jeremy. Somehow, he has decided it's time to talk and his vocabulary has increased so much! It's so amazing to see him grow up. What a miracle life is. It's been really great to have Tim living here with us. The poor guy works so hard. He leaves early and comes home late. But he always keeps a smile on his face. We had the cold bug bite at home, but we're all feeling better again now. We also took a great trip to Montana for Thanksgiving. Grandma and Grandpa sure were happy to have us up to visit. It was the first time that our entire family has been together alone in more than two years. It almost didn't happen though! Tim had some truck issues the night we left and had to have Jeff come to the rescue. But he made it up and we had a great Thanksgiving together. He came home with us on Friday night and we spent most of Saturday truck shopping again. Now I understand why people don't buy new vehicles very often! Quite a draining experience. But he got a steezy new Chevy Colorado! It suits him well. While we have been continually blessed, it's also been a time of trying faith. Not that anything bad has happened, but the Lord has really been testing our faith. It has been difficult, but we're stronger and closer as a family. Even after nearly four years of marriage, Amber and I continue to grow closer. And thus we see that this is how we grow.
