It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

It is almost 1o'clock on Christmas morning. I just finished wrapping gifts and watching a film with my brother.

As I put the last of our gifts under the tree, I was suddenly overwhelmed by the thought of some families not even having one gift to give or receive. I began to feel even more overwhelmed and saddened that I'm not sure if I even know any families like that. There is only one to blame for that, and that person is myself. Have I intentionally not reached out very much to the people in our town that are in need?...I don't think so. And yet, I feel that selfishness has had too much room over the years.

I certainly don't mean to put a damper on Christmas and having a wonderful time with our own families and friends, but it's always good to be reminded that everyone is not as blessed as we are. And so, what am I going to do to help change this area in my life? I don't know yet, but I do know that Christ Jesus was meant to be shared...not hoarded. I want Him to open my eyes to those around me that are in need spiritually and physically.  I hope that each one of us will remember to pray for the Lord to give us hearts of compassion and also motivation to do something about what we feel and see.

   On a lighter note....

We have a white Christmas here in Kentucky! Yay!

I hope you have a wonderful day with your families and that the Lord will bless your home with His presence. Not only is He the "reason for the season", but for everyday that we live on this earth.  May perfect peace fill your hearts. "God bless us...Everyone." ~ Tiny Tim.

Merry Christmas,

Baby Update #2

Malachi was born at 10 o'clock am on 12/3/2010 and weighed in at 6 lb. 4oz. and measured 19 inches long! Both momma and baby are doing just fine :)

They came home yesterday around lunch time and everyone if very happy to have them back. The hard part now is trying to keep Matthew from climbing all over them!  Jeremiah is already acting protective over his new little brother and loves to hold him. He is so gentle.

Thank you again for your prayers. We deeply appreciate it.

Baby Report: Malachi Mutiso Zurowski

Hello!

I just want to update everyone on how my mom's pregnancy is going.

Malachi has been a text book perfect baby, except for his weight. He was weighing in smaller than the doctor would like to see so instead of going in on Monday, December 6th she went in THIS MORNING! Malachi entered this outside world only a few minutes ago! I don't have anymore details just yet, but Dad's text said that he's beautiful. Thank you all who have been praying. We certainly do appreciate it!

More details to come!

Happy Thanksgiving!

A little game of...

... catch-up. I feel like this game is an endless cycle with me. Maybe someday I will get a hang of coming up with something to write about on a daily basis :)

  It has been a bit over two months since I have returned from Thailand. And during this time I haven't been extremely busy, but my days have definitely been full.  And for all you curious minds, they have been mainly filled with re-capping the 15 months I was gone (which includes sorting out many different emotions), visiting friends and family, baking, making crafts, going to a weekly women's Bible study, helping with house chores (blessings!), running errands(Wal-mart should love me) and watching my little brothers.  Oh what bliss! My Lord is so good to me. I really couldn't ask for anything more. And yet, in some ways I do want to be busier. I have some ideas in mind that will hopefully solve that soon.

Inevitably, I have also been diligently praying and seeking the Lord about my future in the midst of taking each day as it comes. He has been faithful to guard me from worry and desperation to find an answer right now. Rather, I have been filled with much peace and though I do have my moments of impatience to know what the "next step" is, overall I humbly feel like I have never trusted the Lord as much as I am right now.

Many of my friends have mentioned that they have been praying for those exact things for me, so I know that our Great God is listening and cares about even the smallest desires of our hearts.

   Our home is filling more and more with anticipation and excitement as the day for Malachi's birth is approaching. Only three more weeks!!! Mom has been "nesting" the last few days. She washed all the baby's clothes and stored them away in a new storage unit that fits perfectly in the boy's closet. Today she has a doctor's appointment for a normal check-up and an ultrasound. She is bringing me with her because I wasn't here for all the other ultrasounds and this will more than likely be the last one. I am ecstatic! :)

   Well, I am running out of time this morning, so more will have to written later. Thanks for stopping by! God bless you!
