End of Times

I have started a great Bible study on the end of times by Irvin Baxter. I have been going with my mom on Tuesday evenings to a pentecostal church not far from our house. It has been really eye opening and I suggest it to anyone who has had trouble understanding Revelations in the past. I have been enlightened to so much information that I am really glad to know and that also makes me so fearful for the ones going through this life as if they have all the time in the world to prepare their souls for eternity. Our life is not promised; our next breath could be our last. Please if you don't have a personal realtionship with our Father Jesus Christ get one now! It is so easy all you have to do is believe that Jesus died for you to be saved and so that you could become princes and princesses in His kingdom! Ask him to change your heart and make it new so that you can have true life and peace with Him.

I love this salvation poem from the kid's Superbook movies. It describes all you need to know:

Jesus, You died upon a cross
And rose again to save the lost
Forgive me now of all my sin
Come be my Savior, Lord,
and Friend
Change my life and
make it new
And help me, Lord,
to live for You

Sweet Cheeks 1 month postop

I can't believe it has been a month since Sweet Cheeks had his last surgery. They reconstructed his head from the ears forward. Shaved his forhead down and removed all the skull in the front and repeiced it together trying to make a more normal shape. Since there wasn't enough skin to do what the doctor had wanted to do he doesn't look as good as we had hoped, but I am not complaining! We still have our sweet lil man and all is well. Once his hair all grows back no one will be able to tell -I think. He is still the sweetest lil guy ever! He loves to cuddle and to lean in for lots and lots of kisses. The rest of my boys were never into cuddling for very long- I had to fight them away from swords and remotes for my time with them. However still sweet, he is absolutely spoiled rotten!! He wants to be held constantly and he is no light weight -pushing 30 lbs- quite big for a 16 month old. He also still refuses to quit nursing. I love nursing and all but it has been 16 months!! I am ready for my body to be mine again!! He is the hardest baby to nurse too- always looking around and letting go and relatching constantly. He won't eat solid food, but instead constantly gives me the sign language for "more" and "milk." I feel like I am one of those crazy people you see on tv breastfeeding til their kids are ten! My boobs are going to hang to the floor by the time he's finished with them! Oh well, I guess I'll put up with it for a little longer and hope food gets more enticing now that he is off all pain meds and antibiotics (which gave him the worst stomach pain and diaper rash!) Thank you God for letting me keep my lil man and protecting his sweet lil life through all of this! Praise God for my many, many blessings!!
