He is RISEN! He is RISEN INDEED! He is RISEN! He is RISEN INDEED!!!
Easter was a special day for the Anderson's. First let me answer the question, we still do not know if we are expecting. The test we took this morning was negative, but it is still early. So we will wait to see if my cycle starts if it does not I will be making an appointment to see my OBGYN for a blood test.
Back to Easter... Service was fantastic! Worship had a different feel this year, partly because I feel I understand a little more of the story. I got emotional during several parts of the service. After the service, I turn for a second and when I turned back my heart almost stopped... There was someone hugging my husband who is a true walking miracle... STACY! For those who don't know a few months ago Stacy was in a very severe car accident and at one point they were not sure if he was going to wake up at all. I lost all controll of emotion and hugged his neck... I could not stop! I had to shobve my head into Paul's chest to try and regain controll... and the best part is he recognized us both... truley the best gift I could have ever imagined! God is SOO GOOD!
We went to lunch wih my parents and I was blessed to get to see my brother, his girl friend and her twins as well. Paul and I came home and he cleaned the garage while I did laundry. I now can park my car in the garage (it has not been in there since Hurricane IKE) I love him so!
Everything I watch has babies, or something to do with children. I love kids! I can't wait to be a mom, learning already from some of my friends who are such good moms. I watched Extreme Makeover Home Edition - The Beach family and realized that I will be a mom someday. Whether God gives me children to bare or I am able to adopt a child who needs a home. They are truley an amazing family!
I have been very scatter brained here in the past few days so I am sorry if my thoughts seem jumbled and do not make sence, it is just how they are coming accross at the moment.
one more thing before I go... Six Years ago today I lost a good friend to the war.
Scott Q. Larson Jr. I will never forget that day. He was lost at one point in his life, God worked a number on him and he started an online Bible Study while he was overseas so he could give others hope. Below is a poem that my dear friend Scott wrote:
Rejection, Correction
Blatant Deception
Why do I torment soldiers,
Is it they are young, and I am getting older and older?
Or is it that my cruel heart is getting colder and colder?
Is all that I want, id for all to do right?
Or are my selfish desires to look high and might?
I should be worrying for all of us to get home alive;
But what is killing me is my pride on which other's burdens it thrives.
I can find insecurities and slash straight to the heart;
Looking at a heathen of this world you can't tell us apart.
I need to look up with a humble heart and mind;
And ask forgiveness from a God who's loving and kind.
I stand here in Iraq a born again Christian;
It's clean to me I have a mission.
To help direct soles of the hungry and lost;
And spread The Word no matter what the cost.
I hope if I die they remember me well;
And not just the jerk on the day that he fell.
Confession, Acception
Miraculous Resurrection

I cant wait to see what God has him up to!!! :) He is missed by all! It makes me cry taht he is not here, but I am overjoyed to know that he is in a place where there is no pain, no tears, and no anguish! Blessed be the name of the Lord!
We have a son that dreams of going to war. He wants more than anything to be a soldier. He reads any and all books he can get his hands on. Loosing him to war is something I could not bare...it would break my heart. He is young with many years ahead of him...so I always sort of hope maybe for another path to be paved for him along the way. But I know it would be an honor to have him serve his country if that really was what he was created to do. We encourage each of our boys direction and I have already lift up our soldiers because one day I may be needed another mom to help me do it for my son! I am sorry for your loss. I am glad y'all had a great Easter! Oh- by the way, you don't know me!! Just blog skipping! And I like your post title...It is SOOO true! God has blessed our marriage and our two boys for 11 years -all beacuse we daily give each other to him! Have a great week!
