It's been a while......

Awww , it has been a while since i posted anything. Poor Little Baby Hartzler number two. It's been hectic lately. We found out a month ago we are having a baby boy, which is exciting for us. He is healthy and kicks alot!!! I love that though because i know everything is OK. This pregnancy has been great, I really am thankful.

We recently sold our home, which was kind of sad but God's will for us. We will be moving into our new home within the week. It has three bedrooms on one floor, which we are grateful for!

Mia turns one May 4Th, which is unbelievable!! I can't believe how fast time go's. She is crawling, and standing up, and "talking" so much. She is a blast to be around. I am so blessed and thankful to be at home with her.
Being a mom is very humbling, and keeps me on my toes. But I love it!
I can't wait to see what our little son will be like, his personality, traits, etc...

House wife...

I was contemplating some things today, as i was in the midst of feeling like puking!! Lots of think time, when you feel immobile, lol. There are so many women that i admire and respect, and thank God for as examples of being Godly wives and Godly mothers. I often feel i fail in many of these aspects. I do feel blessed that i have such a great husband that i probably don't tell him enough how much i love him and respect him. But today i was thinking, am i spending my days the way i should be as a mother, and wife, and "house wife". This thought always plagues me for some reason, and i always feel burdened by this. I never expected to have that feeling of lonliness creep up on me during the day, but it does and it suprized me! Just something i was thinking of today.

The second baby H

We are very excited to go down the "baby" road again. I think our doctor's reaction was the funniest part. He was quite excited! Jon and i were just talking about how thankful we are that we have a doctor that doesn't do unnecessary procedures, and that he is safe. If you think about how many things can go wrong, you are putting alot of trust into someone to deliver your baby healthy! Anyways, we are excited. We're pretty sure the baby is due in July, and i'm excited for that month. What a huge surprize and blessing! We are very thankful! AFter trying for so long with Mia and getting this baby so fast, it keeps us in awe of God's blessings!

We are expecting baby number two, sometime in July, we will know soon dates and all that!!!

The Root of Bitterness.....

(I had to put a pic of Mia in to melt hearts, lol)

Today i was burdened by some one's hatred towards someone i love. It angers me, saddens me, and i don't understand it. The bible tells us something very important. "if your brother offends you, GO TO THEM". Does that mean hate them for years on end, to gossip about it to your friend and family? Pretty sure it doesn't. This is what gets me the most, this person went to her and said " i am so sorry if i have hurt you, i love you." And yet there is a grudge there that will never end. And it trickles to other people also. How as "Christians" can you justify treating people like this, and continue to hate so much? I love how we as humans take certain parts of the bible, obey it, and take others and not apply it to our lives. But we sure can crucify others for not following it. And how can you "witness", or "preach", when you have anger, bitterness, hatred towards someone. The bible is clear that you are NOT to take communion, if you have this in your heart. I"m not saying i haven't struggled with this myself. But i have learned in a very hard way, it's a dangerous road to hate, loath, and be bitter towards someone. And even if you go to that person, and their reaction isn't what you wanted, at least you did what God expects of you. I believe that fights and anger, and animosity comes from OUR OWN HEART'S PRIDE. Pride. God commands us to love each other, yes that means confrontation sometimes, and crying over hurt feelings, but then to GET OVER IT. Even if the other person isn't sorry. I feel i have been wronged many times by people who call themselves Christians. I learned not to harbour it in my heart, because in the long run, i was suffering more from it, and sinning by keeping that anger in my heart. I know i have hurt others also, and i continue to pray that my heart is tender towards those who come to me, and tell me i have done wrong, so that i may have reconciliation with my fellow brother/sister in Christ. This has been on my heart for so long, because i see it all way too much.

Thank you

I just wanted to thank Julie for her great verse, and Lovely for her great comment, also Hanna, sorry i don't get to them sooner!! I agree God is in control! Yet i just get disgusted by this world sometimes! I hope you all are well, and thank you so much for visiting and commenting on our blog!

Pro choice = murder

It angers me that People can look at a baby and say that they aren't a life until birth. Mia was a baby the day i conceived her, not at birth. BUt somehow, liberal mentality says it's ok to kill a baby in the womb, whenever a woman feels she needs to. Yeah lets justify murder for your own selfish desires. I don't understand why anyone would want to kill their baby. Obama is a very dangerous man, and his thinking is so unbiblical, and people are so ignorant to think that he is the answer to this country. I fear what may come, i fear my safety, i fear my daughter's future if this man is elected our President.
