I am reading this great book that i wanted to share with you all. It is called, Biblical Womanhood in the Home. i went to the bookstore in search of a certain kind of book and i looked for nearly 40 minutes and was disappointed that i couldn't find what i was hoping for. but before i left the store i made one more quick glance at the bookshelf and noticed this book that i hadn't seen before. as i was thumbing through it, i thought, this sounds perfect!
In one of the chapters the author talks about inward beauty vs outward beauty and how our clothing shouldn't contribute to the lust of men. Godly women should dress modestly and remember not to communicate the wrong things with what they wear. it seems that a lot of girls are clueless. even good christian women don't understand the responsibility we have to encourage purity.  There should be no compromise in this area, but many people just go along with the latest fashion and don't bother to notice that what is fashionable is sometimes questionable.
SHe also talks about the characteristics of a foolish woman. just little subtle things that slowly become a part of our everyday conversations are really poisoning those around us, especially men. Just living in this world we are influenced every day and can easily become desensitized to so much.
well there are too many things to list here, but it is really a good book! check it out!

Also, Imago Dei has a series of podcasts out called "1000 conversations" and it is really good too. i usually enjoy Ricks teachings, he is down to earth and humorous. www.imagodeicommunity.com

dahlia came down with a cough and runny nose monday morning )= she is getting really good at blowing her nose though. last time she was sick it pretty much just got smeared around, but this time she actually blows into the tissue! which is so great! if i ask her "do you need to blow your nose" she will just start blowing right then and there, so i rush to get some toilet paper before the couch is drenched in her slime! it is funny. valen started showing signs of a cold this morning too )= i know that babies get colds, but it is annoying when you have two babies and sleeping can be difficult if they cant breathe. i also have mastitis once again! i guess just being busy this weekend and not getting my sleep kinda ran my body down. valen was eating a little irregular too, so that is the recipe for disaster right there.  the last time i had mastitis my best friend shekinah was throwing a birthday party for her little girl and i wasnt able to go since i was feeling so lousy. and this saturday is her baby shower and i hope i am feeling up to it, i really would like to go! anyways, only 8 more months of breastfeeding to go, compared to my whole life, that isnt very much time to have to sacrifice for a healthy baby!

please pray that my head stays attatched to my neck these next fews days, taking care of sick babies when i am sick myself can be very exhausting! thanks!!
