What do I want?!

Sorry, I’ve been “LOST”

Nick’s brother Andrew has moved in with us! He is interning with the media department at Desiring God. I am so glad he is here. There is a lot more singing and laughing going on in our home as of late:)

Last week, we went to the Waldemar’s to watch the 5th season finale of LOST. I have never seen the show before. Neither had Nick or Drew. But, there was food and fellowship with the Waldemar’s and who can pass that up? Anyway, I was completely lost (haha…get it?) throughout the whole thing. It was kinda interesting though.

The next day, Drew and I decide to start watching the first season. Yeah…good idea, bad idea. We are completely hooked! We’ve watched 16 episodes in 7 days! Even Nick is getting eager to keep watching them.

We have a ways to go, but when season 6 starts, you can bet we’ll be over at the Waldemar’s every week to watch some LOST!

My mom understands the meaning of sacrifice. From the time I was born, I think that’s all she’s ever done. Until I was older, I never really understood. My mom had three children; myself, Michael and Kyle. She has loved us unconditionally.

She stayed at home because she loved to be with us. She babysat at least 3 children under the age of 2 for extra income just so she could take us out to eat or buy us fun stuff that we didn’t need but she wanted us to have. She homeschooled all three of us (at the same time she watched other people’s children) so we could stay at home and learn from our mother.

I don’t ever remember a time that she didn’t jump up from the table as soon as we finished praying before a meal, just so she could continue serving us. I used to sigh with relief when she would sit down and read a book because I knew she was finally getting rest.

Every morning, like clockwork, I would find her in her room by her bed praying, or reading the Word. She constantly pointed us back to Christ in all we did, or every time she disciplined us. She was also there the night I accepted Christ as my Savior.

My mom is the greatest servant and I know she loves me beyond words. I have been so blessed and so I just want to tell you, mom, that I love you and am so thankful that God placed me in your care. Thank you for your many gifts, your time, your prayers, your encouragement, your love, and your sacrifice. I can’t say enough. Happy Mother’s Day, mom:)

Why Night Psalms?

I realize it’s not the most convenient thing for everyone; me changing my blog address. But I did feel it was necessary. Here’s why:

1. Psalms 42.8 just so happens to be one of my most cherished verses. By day and by night my Lord is watching over me. I can’t even fathom that! I need so much sleep, but He doesn’t. And at night He is singing songs over me. Wow. I love singing. I imagine He has a great voice!

2. I felt my blog needed some sort of theme, or reason. I was getting tired of having to explain why I chose “oh my lanta” and I was getting bored by how insignificant it was. I want my blog to actually have a purpose. If that makes sense.

3. I think Night Psalms sounds super sweet. No, really.

So, I’m sure there are more reasons, but hopefully that’s enough to keep you coming back even if I did make you update your feedreaders and all that mess. :)
