Stand Still...

So there is a song called Stand Still by the Isaac's. This is an amazing song and it has reached out an touched me today. We got some news the other day (nothing major or to do with the pregnancy) but it kind of brought us both down...But God has a way of working everything out in His time. I know he has a plan for us and we will be where he wants us...we've just got to keep on praying for what we need. He knows our future and he knows what we need.
                                                     Stand Still by The Isaac's 

The father has a plan,
though it's hard to see it now.
You feel you're walking all alone,
but he is there no doubt. 
When the storm around you rages,
and you're tossed to and fro.
When you're faced with lives decisions,
and you're not sure where to go.
Chorus: 
Stand still and let God move, 
Standing still is hard to do.
When you feel you have reached the end
He'll make a way for you,
Stand still and let God move.
When the enemy surrounds you,
and the walls are closing in.
When the tide is swiftly rising, 
and you're not sure where he's been.
Friend there never was a moment
when his arms weren't reaching out.
You can rest assure, be secure,
God is moving right now.
Repeat Chorus
When you feel you have reached the end,
he'll make a way  for you.
Stand still and let God move.
The answer will come,
but only in his time.
Stand still and let God Move!

Pinterest makes life easier :D

So I know most of you out there have a pinterest account, and if you don't, you're just plain crazy. It makes life soooo much easier...If  you don't just go on a pinning spree, and actually do some of the stuff. I recently found this pin on there. I mean the title said "Cut your grocery bill in half", and who doesn't want to do that right? So I clicked on it and looked at it and it had some AMAZING ideas....all about going homemade! Randall and I have been making our own bread for a while, since my mom gave us a bread machine(tastes way better) But anyways, I read on in this blog, and it had so much more about going homemade & had a lot of tips on grocery shopping. Go once a month, and you make your meals at home, so you cut out the cost of going out to eat (we are worlds worst at doing that) But anyways, what you do is pull out different recipes that you have collected from Pinterest, cookbooks, and such (I use a lot of my papa's and my moms too!) But anyways, you take inventory of what you already have in your house, and then you write down what you need from the grocery store, and you plan out for one month of meals...so you are only having to go to the store one time a month...who would've thought. In plus, you can use a web site like www.couponmom.com to see if any of the items you need have a coupon for them...On nights you don't feel like cooking (we all have those nights) You can have sandwich nights, or, breakfast for supper...(who doesn't love breakfast for supper?) Any who, I've added the link to this blog...it has so many ideas....http://www.blissfulanddomestic.com/2012/03/31-days-to-yumminess-grocery-shopping.html?showComment=1342681248761
