A Courageous Date

                 There are Times a family goes thru Trials, One I never expected for my Own but I believe thru some learnings it is what makes a Family Stronger.  We all go thru Valleys ,you can be up on top for awhile and just in such AHHH,,then you will find yourself in the bottom of that Valley with Struggles and Trials ,   and wondering how you will ever make it thru such!!   God says "He will never put more on you than you can handle!" As I think of the trials that my family has been thru in the last year and still working thru ,it could have been alot worse in sooo many ways , but the ONE THING IN LIFE that Happened caused  OUR HEARTS AND EYES to be placed back on the Lord!  So finally lifting my HEAD and HANDS up and letting HIM wipe my TEARS I am able to find PEACE thru this TRIAL.



                And this is How a COURAGEOUS DATE BEGAN: 
My sweet cousin Denise had been Praying , a Blessing of a Prayer partner and never judgemental and always tried to give me verses in the Bible for me to read and study.God is so Good to place people in your Life that can give you Wisdom.                

              One evening she came to visit and brought me a copy of the movie "Courageous". What a Blessing .Tim and I had not watched this movie and now I think it was totally brought to be placed in our Life to move us at the right time.God works in his own way !!! My husband and I both sat watched and I cried and he choked several times.Our souls started pondering this movie and realized where our Hearts needed to be. This movie has opened our eyes to the Trial our family is going thru and we have been able to deal with it much better.I noticed in the movie section at Walmart they had the contract for "The  Resolution "I was so  excited !!!I knew what a SURPRIZE I could do for our upcoming date. So for our last Friday date (March 16th )I had a chance to slip to Walmart and get a copy .Chad pushed me in the wheelchair while his sweet friend Desee pushed Sophia in the buggy we ZIPPED thru Walmart and ...............
        

I Grabbed my hubby a DOZEN Beautiful White Roses,  A Card and "The Resolution "one for hubby and one of the "Womens Revolution issue." 
2 bags of Chocolates, a Box of Hot Tamales to tease him of being my Mr. HOT STUFF :)

I was so excited and Nervous

Tim was so  Surprized !!!

I had tears in my Eyes watching him read his card

My Smitty is such a hard-working sweet man

He was so shocked the Flowers were for HIM :)

He loved them and said now I know why you like to get Suprize flowers it is an AWESOME feeling !!!!!

PRICELESS !

They are just so Beautiful

We enjoyed our extreme wee hour Friday date

Friday morning we shopped around and purchased our Families first ever truck. Definately will be using this for my Goats and other Farm animals.

           Sunday Morning rolled around and we had not signed our Resolutions just couldn't find the right time. I think God was waiting for just the right time ,a time to move us in his way.
He did.
 I was given an invitation to join the Morton Family  for their Sunday Mornng HomeChurch Service,I was excited ,rised early that morning and cooked a Sunday Lunch to take for their Potluck after Church,Here is how the Lord worked thru our morning and made it HIS DAY and HIS TIMING. Tim was suppose to leave Saturday nite ,his load got changed to Sunday Morning @11am. Hated it wasn't later for him to join the service.But as everyone in the house started getting ready Sophia woke up vomitting. yuk,I told Tim if she vomitts again before 10 I would not go,sure didn't want to pass a virus to other families.She did again for sure ! Thanking God Tim was home to help take care of Sophia, between the bathing and taking care of the carpet it got intense!!!

Finally everything eased and we set the table with a Wonderful Early Sunday Dinner. Before we ate Tim and I decided this was a PERFECT TIME to sign Our "Resolutions."

We all held Hands while Tim read his Resolution outloud.

Our sons watched on as he signed his

Awesome to see my Husbands hands as he signed a GODLY Contract for Our Family!!

Then Chad witnessed it first, being Our Oldest Son:)How AWESOME is this moment in Our Lives!!!

Then Chase witnessed it, My HEART was so overjoyed!

Then I read mine while we held Hands and Signed, Then in Unison we all sayed,
AMEN !!

What Joy and Peace Moved thru Our HOME !
HIS TIMING!

Praises ,He DID!!!

May You all have a Blessed Day,

The Smith Family
