We are moving, Finally,

So it is finally official. The Fox family has a new address at least for the next year anyway. The thought of moving again in a year makes my stomach crawl but God is, and will be with me always.  Please pray that God will give me strength and energy, moving is exhausting (as all you women know).

So I decided that I would give myself a little reminder and refresher. This is something that I posted in April of '09 but since I packed my hard copy already this is the only one that I had to read.


A woman once fretted over the usefulness of her life. She feared she was wasting her potential being a devoted wife and mother.

She wondered if the time and energy she invested in her husband and children would make a difference. At times she got discouraged, because so much of what she did seemed to go unnoticed and unappreciated.

“Is it worth it?” she often wondered, “Is there something better that I could be doing with my time?”

It was during these moments of questioning that she heard the still, small voice of her heavenly Father speak to her heart.

“You are a wife and a mother because that is what I have called you to be. Much of what you do is hidden from public eye,

But I notice.

Most of what you give is done without remuneration,

But I am your reward.

Your husband can not be the man I have called him to be without your support. Your influence upon him is greater than you think and more powerful than you will ever know. I bless him through your service and honor him through your love.

Your children are precious to Me, even more precious than they are to you. I have entrusted them to your care, to raise them for Me. What you invest in them is an offering to Me. You may never be in the public spotlight, but your obedience shines as a bright light before Me.

Continue on.

Remember you are My servant

Do all to please Me.”

What ever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Colossians 3:23,24

The Big Date

Not many mothers in this world are as lucky as I am. My precious son, has been anxiously waiting for mommy to be done with school so that he could "Take me to a date."

The money has been sitting on my night stand patiently waiting. 4 quarters, 4 dimes, 4 nickels, and 4 pennies, yes 4 of everything because that is how old he is.

He has had it planned out for three months now. First we have to go eat at his favorite restaurant in the whole wide world. Can you guess where we are?

You guess it! Costco it is, for pizza , a hot dog and a churro. Daddy gave him some money so that he could pay for our date. It was sooo cute. 

Isn't he so cute?

Next it was time to go to the Lego store for mommy to buy him some Lego's.  Mommy has no clue about Lego's, that is daddy's thing so this is going to be an adventure. To Gabriel any store with a Lego aisle is the Lego store so mommy took him to Walmart.  The Chandler Fashion Center is far. He was very excited because daddy has never taken him to that Lego store, it was lots of fun.

Then it was time to come home. Mommy's truck was very dirty so we decided to get it washed. It was quite enlightening as he explained to me everything that the machines were doing. He is so smart when it comes to mechanical things.

We had a great time, and made memories to last me a lifetime. I know that one day I will not be the woman in his life. I hope and pray that God blesses him with an amazing woman of God to take my place. What a blessing this little man is to me and my life.
