Timmarie: Full time wife to Chris and mom to Addison and Brody. Loves gaudy jewelry, traveling, coffee, winter clothes, ice cream, and classic hip hop. Hates pharasitical behavior, especially in herself. Plans imaginary vacations.
Chris: Loving husband to Timmarie. Fierce father to Addie and Brody. Loves Jesus, MMA fighting, Diet Coke and a good card game. His heart can be found in a pile of mush when holding Koleson or any other baby. He is also known as Addison's hero or Brody's wrestling partner.
Addison: 7 year old Jesus freak with more attitude than one could ever prepare for. She loves making up dances and teaching them to Alivia, asking for a sister, and second grade. This girl will mother anyone and anything. She also enjoys wearing mismatched earrings and did I mention asking for a sister?
Brody: 5 year old autistic phenom. Or at least we think so. He loves Disneyland, coffee, phonograms, animals, and the computer. He also enjoys taking everything you could possibly google about autism and blowing it right out of the water. Most endearing, he likes to cause trouble and then smile and hug his way out of it. 
I have given this anger to the Lord each day. And the next day, another opportunity to do it again rears it's even uglier head. I am getting tired and I feel my resolve slipping.
In an effort to keep my head in the right place...some good reminders.
Exodus 15:7
In the greatness of your majesty you threw down those who opposed you. You unleashed your burning anger; it consumed them like stubble.
Exodus 32:9-10
"I have seen these people," the LORD said to Moses, "and they are a stiff-necked people. 10 Now leave me alone so that my anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them. Then I will make you into a great nation."
Psalm 4:4
In your anger do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent.
And one I am preparing to memorize this week:
Proverbs 11:17
A kind man benefits himself, but a cruel man brings trouble on himself.
Please pray for me that the Lord will continue to guide my every step and that I will keep my eyes fixed on Him. The enemy will NOT benefit from this difficult time in my life!
Dareth. I am a girl journeying through this life trying to enjoy as many moments as possible. I desire to please God with my life on this earth while looking forward to heaven. I hope to enjoy as many vacations as possible along the way.
Uh, dido! I am still praying for you. This is a difficult time, but God has not left you. He will fight for you.
