George Muller
November 17, 2011 by 1 Comment
My girls and I were sitting at the table this morning eating breakfast when all of a sudden my 3.5-year-old ask me, "'Member George Muller?" I said I did and then we had a conversation about who he was and where we had heard about him. When she didn't trust my memory she began singing, "George MUUUller, I WAnt to Know!"
Would you like to know a bit about good 'ole George?

"GEORGE MULLER - A Man Who Simply Trusted God...reflections by & about an ordinary man who placed implicit trust in an extraordinary God and took His Word at face value - "open your mouth wide, and I will fill it." (Psalm 81:10)"
-http://www.georgemuller.blogspot.com/
God can do extraordinary things in our lives when we trust Him enough to let Him! God can do amazing things in the lives of those around us as well but we have to be willing to listen to His guidance! Be extra sensitive to God's prompting, not just this season but even more so because there are so many hurts that are magnified this time of year.

Do you have any personal stories of God's provision for you, your family, or friends? Do you have any stories about how you were able to be used by God in provision for someone else?
Hot Chocolate

These are for Real the "Preparation Instructions" on my Great Value Milk Chocolate Flavored Hot Cocoa Mix with Marshmallows:
1. Empty 1/4 cup of cocoa mix into a cup {Mom, the "one spoon full of mix" rule---> Bogus!}
2. Add 1 cup of hot water {That's right my friends 1/4 cup mix per 1 cup water!}
3. Stir and enjoy. {I think the punctuation here behind ENJOY is and understatement!!!}
*I added large marshmallows and a dab of milk (3/4 water 1/4 mild) to mine as well ;o)
Go make some awesomeness! You know you want to now that the back of the can has given you permission to go overboard on the chocolatey goodness!

What kind of favorite wintery treats to you enjoy?
Where ya been?

It's been almost a week since I've posted...you're not missing much ;o)
This past week has been kinds crazy. Last Tuesday me and my girls took a flying road trip several hours north to hang out with my 'forever friend' who lost her daddy. My girls had a blast having their 1st "Grammy day(s)! Jamin hung out with a friend from church during the day and his daddy in the mornings and at night. He also had his 1st Nanna day!
I got to see many friends while in my home town. My girls traveled well! We ran lots of errands and hung out with family and friends. My girls and I got to go to my home church and see the awesome ministry they have to their community!
Had safe travel home on Thursday! Made it home just in time for dinner with the other side of the family. Got to see extended family before she jumped on a plane the next day.
Friday we attempted another Rothacher marathon day which included but wasn't limited to a cardiologist appointment, SAMs club run, lunch at Chick-fil-a, and a failed pediatrician (shot follow-up) visit, and Jamin's pictures.
God's rocked through our week! It's amazing the endlessness of what He has for us...exhausting as it maybe some weeks...always GOOD.
Although it doesn't feel like Thanksgiving it next week it is! We are Thankful! Thankful for the list above (what we see as good and bad!). Thankful for always joyous holiday season approaching us! Thankful for the different way we're doing Christmas this year {promise to share soon!} Thankful for this little nook of cyber air I get to call my own!

How have you been? Have any "Rothacher Marathon" stories of your own? What do your holidays look like this year?
Gratitude Always Leads to Generosity
November 9, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Today I'm chat'n about how gratitude does not always come naturally to me. Anybody else in this boat? I think that's why the Bible continually tells us to be disciplined about giving thanks.
Paul tells us in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 to "give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." as on of the principles for life in the spirit.
While imprisoned "...at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God..." (Acts 16:25)
