Did I mention I am not addicted to Instagram (I know I am WAYYYY behind on this)

I have been so behind on blogging, since the last week has been crazy.


1. Hubby car in shop last week
2. Put on and spoke at a youth conference here at the church last weekend.
3. Sick baby who ended up with a ruptured ear drum -- while youth conference was going on
:)
Advent has been crazy, even though loving our nightly prayer around the wreath.  As both kids seem to be sick with a cough or something at night, I am beginning to feel a little bit like I have a newborn (even though I dont)
Christmas shopping has barely been started, and Christmas cards, well, havent even been thought about.  So sorry if you were checking your mailbox for a pic of our lovely clan, you will be waiting.....probably till next year, if I can get it together by then.  But on a positive note kids are on the upswing with their health, and I am beginning to get into the Christmas spirit.
PS I got an I phone, and I like it so much I feel guilty. I am loving taking pictures of my kids!
Heres an Advent Prayer, because I def need today!!

Come, long-expected Jesus. Excite in me a wonder at the wisdom and power of Your Father and ours. Receive my prayer as part of my service of the Lord who enlists me in God's own work for justice. 

Come, long-expected Jesus. Excite in me a hunger for peace: peace in the world, peace in my home, peace in myself. 

Come, long-expected Jesus. Excite in me a joy responsive to the Father's joy. I seek His will so I can serve with gladness, singing and love. 

Come, long-expected Jesus. Excite in me the joy and love and peace it is right to bring to the manger of my Lord. Raise in me, too, sober reverence for the God who acted there, hearty gratitude for the lifebegun there, and spirited resolution to serve the Father and Son. 

I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, whose advent I hail. Amen.


FEAST OF IMMACULATE CONCEPTION TOMORROW!!
