Update on Life



Quick update about what's been going on with the Johnson's:

As of now, church planting in Downtown Orlando seems like a far off dream, but we are still moving forward. We are willing to do what it takes if this is what God has called us to do!

Time has been flying by! Eden and Jude are growing up as I blink. We have just started to put Eden in the exersaucer. She especially loves when Jude shows her attention. Jude will help her play with all the toys. She is always watching what he is doing!



Jude has been his crazy self. His newest obsession is glasses. He loves to pull of my Mom and Dad's glasses when they are not paying attention. But now he has discover he can wear Mr. Potato Head's glasses and he will not get in trouble! He will wear them around for a good 30 minutes at a time!


He is still wanting to go outside from the time he opens his eyes in the morning. He has thrown many tantrums when we have to go back inside. This kid just loves the out doors! Here he is with bubble maker.



Is it terrible that I hide some of his toys? Bubble just make a mess. We only get to play with them when I am in a special mood! :)

Jude has also starting to climb things. He will push toys up to his dresser and bookshelf to reach whatever he wants. Q-tips and finger nail clippers are his favorite! He will also get himself a snack we we are not looking! It is a full time job just running after him making sure he is not into something he shouldn't be.

Saturday, Michael and I finally took the kids to Sea World for a few hours. We have been going to go but either the weather has been bad or we have had plans. We were able to make it to two shows and went through the shark aquarium. It was nice to get out for a bit!


Other than that, we have been getting ready for my sister-in-law's shower this weekend. My first nephew Matthew is due to arrive in July! I have been sewing up a storm! I was also able to take a few pictures of Kassi and my brother Chad. Here are a few of my favorites:















Here is a link to view all the photo's I took: Kassi & Chad's Maternity Pictures


Only a few more weeks until Michael is off for a month or so! We are looking forward to having him around more and to getting back up to North Carolina!

I hope everyone has a great week!

Winter

Image
Winter: cold, dark, long, dreary, depressing, dead. That pretty much sums up my feelings of winter being a Florida girl.  I hate winter. Everything is dead; the grass, the trees (at least the leaves on the trees), the flowers and this winter was no different. It started out just like stated above and then turned into a blizzard. Things were happening and I didn't understand why. My life had entered what seemed to be an eternal winter state. But I had forgotten that winter was only a season and that this wasn't going to last forever. There was no spring in sight for me. Thankfully God swept in the way he does and gently reminded me that this is all part of his plan. He spoke the world into existence, he designed the seasons, and He did it all for His glory. God wanted to teach me something else this winter. He wanted to show me that it's all about Him.  You see, we did have a long cold winter here in NC and right when we thought it was almost over, we were hit ...

Turning My Grief into Gratitude

To give you the quick recap on my life in the past five years: I moved to North Carolina for college, met and married Michael, and wanted to start a family. After this, things went quickly from really good, to really bad. I was able to get pregnant right away. I lost the baby . I was able to get pregnant again the very next month. Again I lost the baby . Even though a year has gone by, typing the words, I lost the baby, makes me want to vomit. Admitting that I now have two children that have died seems unreal. At the time, I felt like I had to regain composure quickly. I was teaching sixth grade and my life seemed like it was moving on a rollercoaster. But now that I am a stay at home mom, I feel like I think about them more often. What would they have looked like? Were they a boy or a girl? Would I have had twins? And I am left with no answers. It seems like after over a year of grieving, God has finally brought light to this area in my life. Yes, I lost two pregnancies and that...

Being Completely Satisfied

As I reflect on the past and even examine my life now, I often find that I become consumed with whatever is going on in my life at that time. I will focus all of my thoughts and attention to this matter until it is resolved. To give you a few examples, at one point in my life, all I wanted was to be out of my parents house, then it was that I just waned to graduate high school, next I wanted to graduate college, after that I could not wait to get engaged, that turned into I couldn't wait to get married, then if I could just have children everything would be fine. I thought all of these were life and death matters at that time. If I could only get that 'one' thing in my life, I would be happy and satisfied. But when I lie awake at night for hours, not able to sleep because I am thinking about what I want my future house to be like, something is wrong . The fact is that when I get that 'one' thing, something else will soon repl...
