Trust

5)Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6) In all the ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6

So many times we try to handle the problems and situations that we are in all on our own because we think we can handle them or we feel like we have to do everything on our own the burden is ours. What people dont realize is we do not have to handle the situations or perdicuments we're in ourselves, God is here to help us all we have to do is trust and put our faith in him and he will help us. Sure it may not seem at times that things are not getting better or its just taking too long but God will do it all in good timing; he is never late. Take a moment to read what my Bible says about Proverbs 3:5-6 and maybe you might get a better understanding about what this verse means....

We have an important decision to make, we sometimes feel that we can't trust anyone-not even God. But God knows what is best for us. He is a better judge of what we want than even we are! We must trust in him completely in every choice we make. We should not omit careful thinking or belittle our God given ability to reason; but we should not trust our own ideas to the exclusion of all others. We must not be wise in our own eyes. We should always be willing to listen to and be corrected by God's Word and wise counselors. Bring your decisions to God in prayer; use the Bible as your guide, and then follow God's leading.

To receive God's guidance, said Solomon, we must acknowledge God in all we do. About a thousand years later, Jesus emphasized this same truth (Matthew 6:33). Look at your values and priorities. What is important to you? Where is God on that list? What is his advice? Make him a vital part of everything you do; then he will guide you because you will be working to accomplish his purposes.

I could not have said it any better than what my Bible has said about this verse; the reason why I love this verse is because this is something everyone needs to work on including me because by any means I am nowhere perfect. There are a lot I still need to do and work on in my walk with the Lord.

Happy Fathers Day

Joe's dad Michael Haykus

My brother n law David on the left

My brother n law Jay and my hubby Joe

My husband Joe
I unfortunately don't have a photo of my father and one of my father n law's

I just wanted to wish all the father's in my family a Happy Father's Day. My Dad Michael Vanover, my step father Andrew Cionka, my father-n-law's Joe's dad Michael Haykus, and his step father Michael McMurray, my wonderful husband Joseph Haykus, Cris's husband Jason Barnes, and Chastity's husband David Berry. Happy Father's Day you guys and hope you guys have a wonderful and blessed day.

It's all about the name

Why is it that names are so hard to agree on with men? Joe is so stubern when it comes to names. Every time I mention a name he doesn't agree on it. I mean We both like the name Katie but he doesn't know if that is the one he want's to name our child if its a girl. Another frustrating thing is I will say fine honey what are some of the names you like and his response is I don't know.... Gurrrrrr I understand we don't know the sex of the baby and I still have six months left but I really don't want to wait that long lol I know I sound like a kid in the candy store and I cant wait to dig into all the candy but I am the kind of person that likes to get things done and be prepared and not wait to the last minute.

Well that is my vent for today I know it's nothing interesting but I needed to at least type it out to get my frustration out. I promise I will have something more interesting to read the next time I post. So until next time have a wonderful and blessed day.

Check Up

I went in for my doctor's appt today for a regular check up and everything went good. Though I did find out why I haven't exactally been able to lose my previous baby weight; I have a slight thyroid problem that I never knew about and I'm suprised that none of my physician's told me before because it's serious for a pregnant women; it can cause still births which my doctor is going to put me on some kind of pill to take during my pregnancy to make sure that dosen't happen. I am so happy that she told me. I am also going to have to get a rubella shot after the baby is born because to find out I'm not ammuned to rubella which I was never told as well, so for my protection after the baby is born that's one of the shots I'm going to have to have besides the fact that I'm RH negative so during my seventh month I'm going to have to get a rogam shot and another one after the baby is born. Other than that I have already gained 4 pounds :O and they did a brest examination, they did the regular pap and did an early ultrasound and while doing the ultrasound the baby was constantly moving around :) I was excited to see needless to say. Well I didn't mean to bore anybody and if I did I appologize, I just wanted to give everyone an update to let them know what was going on.

God Bless, Hope you have a wonderful day and enjoy the beautiful weather we are having.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we are commanded in your Word to be perfect like you (Matthew 5:48 New International Version). We wonder how this can be, knowing that your perfection is absolute; that your purity is awesome; that your knowledge is all-searching. How can we be perfect, or even try to attain to it?

Your Holy Spirit will be our guide and help; your Son, our Saviour, is our righteousness.

We cannot trust in ourselves for anything, but we can trust you for everything.

Thank you for the knowledge that Jesus intercedes for us before your throne. Help us to take courage from this; to pray constantly for strength to overcome temptation; not forgetting to be thankful for answered prayer.
