Update in a quick post....more later in individual post

So in the Wise household so much has changed since I last blogged. We relocated at God totally opening a huge "front door" and closing the "back door". It was a crazy whirlwind move it was done in 3 weeks flat job, packing of the house, moving to KS. The Lord has definitely brought us here for a reason. WE have made many great bonds being here. With the Youth group we went on a mission trip last yr and it was amazing to see the kids work so hard to serve the Lord. While on that mission trip I found out we were expecting a baby. When we found out we  decided to try the midwife way of birth and it was our best decision ever. We found out in October that our new addition was going to be a BOY...We were very excited. We then celebrated Thanksgiving and Christmas. In Dec we had to find a new midwife and we found Michelle and Rebecca. They are the best midwifes (will do a later blog post about our home birth experience) ....We in Feb. welcomed Isaac Andrew Wise into the World and Family he was 6"15 and 19 inches long. He was a handsome little baby from day one and we fell in love....His big sisters fell in love right away.
We have defiantly had a great time getting to know our little man.
Signing off for now the Wise family
      
 

Big changes.....

Well Life has definitely changed since last time I blogged....What a whirlwind...We were living in Springfield MO and it was OK it was were God had called us. We then had an opportunity to pray about a new decision and we started to pray about it and go through the possible proceedings of a possible move to a great church with tremendous ministry opportunity....Aaron applied for a job locally to the area and we prayed and waited we interviewed with the church....they approved and now we waited on a full time job potential and why were there that weekend he got a call from the place he applied and had one interview on Sat and then one on Sun and our decision was made that Sunday that Lord wanted us to move....So we uprooted and moved to a small little town in KS...We are now located in the country and we are loving the slow pace and quiet new routine. We lost my income I am still do pictures but building up a new clientele, So we are now on a way tighter budget but it is OK I am learning to cut corners on a lot of things we are def healthier not eating out as much prob once every 2 weeks if we are lucky....I now make all our laundry detergent and dishwasher soap....We also got a  little puppy about a week after we moved in... His name is Simba and he is  a little rascal....the girls love him though.....2013 brings on a whole new adventure for us in a new home and a new routine. The Lord provides all our needs some of my goals is to as always strive to be  a better mom: I want to try a new discipline routine (I do spank my children) I don't disagree with spanking I just feel at this time my 4yr old just isn't responding to that so going to have to try something different, Wife: I want to be the best wife that I have been created to be...I also am wanting to be more abundant in my crafting and sewing I love doing it and I feel i don't make the adequate time for it as i should. We are also wanting to start a young married bible study/ young adult Sunday school...and I only pray for the best that it is all God's and that it will grow for His glory and not ours....Thank you for reading my ravings. Always remember there is always someone who cares....Becky

23rd Psalm continued

Psalm 23:3 He Restores my soul, He leads me in the path of righteousness for His name sakes...

Abbi like to put major en fices on the He Restores my soul.. We told Abbi that this means that we are spiritually tired and He gives that "Spiritual Redbull" He is our energy drink for our spiritual life...

He leads me in paths of righteousness- HE leads us where we should go...Do we always go that way no but that is our own fault and not the Lord's...

For His name sakes-His name is always there it will always stand...

Psalm 23:4 Yea thou I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil, For thou art with me..Thy Rod and thy staff they comfort me...

We will all go through scary times in our life, but we have to remember there is no need to fear the evil around us because the Almighty is right there with you...

To Shepard's their rod and staff were important tools...They were probably really only one tool the rod being the slender part of the tool and the staff representing the hook like on the top...They could have been two separate tools (we will never know) The rod was used to help warn off danger, Shepard's in this day encountered many of animals that would want to Harm the sheep so the Shepard would use the rod to scare them off or kill them...
The staff was usually hooked to help herd and lift the sheep out of trouble in a lot of cases...

That is where our little princess is at in these verses...she is doing a tremendous job memorizing them for a 3 yr old we are very proud of her....

Psalms 23-A great chapter for life....

Our 3 yr old is memorizing the 23rd psalm a little at a time and we have to explain to her what each verse means because she is so little and is still hard for her to understand the scriptures...So I have been explaining it to her in animal terms as in sheep so here is how it is going we are on day 6 and she has the first 2 verses memorized and is working on verse 3....
Psalms 23:1 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want....(Abbi Version-The Lord is my Shepherd, He gives me everything I need) The job of a shepherd is to guard the sheep from the dangers of the world, ...We are the sheep that need to be guided by the shepherd. And He supplies all our needs...
Psalm 23:2 He makes me lay down in green pastures, and leads me beside still waters. (Abbi- He makes me lay in green pastures, brings me to still water) I particularly like this one because sheep like to lay in green pasture because they can eat and be full, they like green grass. So this is saying that the Lord is giving us all the food and shelter that we need. He leads me beside still waters the meaning behind this is even more important because it is saying He goes above and beyond to make sure we are taken care of because sheep don't like to drink from rough running water because it scares them, so the Lord takes them to STILL water.
It amazes me how the verses that were wrote so long ago can still affect us in our lives today.I really hope you got something out of my interpretation (for Abbi) of the 23rd Psalm vs.1-2. Stayed tuned for the next 2 verses...When Abbi Memorizes them all I will post a video of her quoting them...

Our life has been crazy this past month, with graduations, parties and just running for something or another all the time we are due for a quite time to get a break from the world. I think that we might take a Weekend in July and go away for a few days.

I hope you all are blessed in everything you do...Don't forget that the Lord is the almighty Healer who can fix anything from Ear bones to disappearing tumors....

Love ya Becky
