Fun with Scout

I realize I haven't given an update on Scout in a while. He weighs 82 pounds now!!!!! He is getting so big. We are having tons of fun with the little guy. Scout and I go on walks around the neighborhood in the morning and in the afternoon. He does great when we use his gentle leader to help keep him from pulling on the leash. Since I have been home, he hangs with me around the house...mostly sleeping during the day or playing with his toy duck. He also loves playing with his friends, Samson and Tiger.

Ryan and I love taking pictures with Scout because he makes us laugh by being pretty great at looking into the camera and trying to eat the flash. Here are some from the other night...






Ryan has been worried that Scout gets cold during the night. He has started "tucking" Scout in after he lays down to go to sleep. This just really cracked me up and we had to snap a picture...

He sure does look cozy.

Well, hope you all liked the Scout update. We don't have any children yet, so we love to brag and talk about our pup, Scout. Thanks for blogging with us!

On Faith and Suffering

Suffering....it is not an easy thing to bear up under. I feel that as life goes on, I am seeing more and more suffering around me. I have recently been through a tough season in my life. In the midst of difficult circumstances, it has caused me to look to God and question at times. I think sometimes in the Christian life, we are told, “Don’t question. Just believe. God is good all the time.” This, of course, is true but I think there is true beauty in the wrestling. In the coming out on the other side having a deeper faith because of where God has taken you on the journey. I have recently been reading in Hebrews and like God does, He somehow lined up the Scriptures and where I was reading to answer some of my questions right in the face. Questions like... “Why do people who love you have to suffer?” “I understand suffering is for your glory, but we already love you and are about your glory so do we have to go through it?” “Are you really big enough? Good? Faithful?” “Is it

The Shame Game

Ashamed. That is one of the main feelings I can use to describe how I have felt this week. Ashamed. When my 4 year old fought against 3, yes 3, grown medical professionals trying to obtain a strep test (which he did have). I saw the looks they exchanged as he bit the tongue depressor and gritted his teeth and made their job a living nightmare. Ashamed. When it was my two boys fighting that caused the other little boy to run and tell his mom that they were making his play time not so much fun and then they left. I felt like I saw a look that she gave me too. Ashamed. As I carried two bawling, boneless children through Publix trying to get to my car after they pitched royal fits through most of the checkout line. I saw the look my grocery cart helper and an older lady walking by exchanged as they took in my helpless state against the two raging children. Ashamed. When I lost it on my 6 year old who needed me to stay in the room so he could go to sleep when I was trying to
