My mom does this on her blog every week, and I think it's a great way to remember what you LOVE about life.
Top five favorite things this week...
NuMba OnE! My Husband
Vinjelu. There are so many things that come to mind when I write his name, he is an amazing catch, and I am not the only one who thinks so : ) Some girls missed out, of which I am THANKFUL! haha!
Vinj is serious, quiet, loud, funny, SLOW, thoughtful, wise, HUMBLE, gentle, direct... there are alot of things he has like gentleness but at the same time he is direct, which makes it so much more easier to hear the truth from him.
Vinj is amazingly talented, last week we preached at church again, and challenged our friends to run after God with all their hearts, he is always writing music/lyrics, he is also becoming an amazing singer, he has this sweet tone to his voice that I LOVE! I see him everyday loving on his kids.
And you know what I love most about vinjelu, it's the same thing that drives me crazy sometimes... He is not here to impress anyone, to be this super productive successful man, yesterday I was in a rush and questioning how productive the day had been (as always... Lord help me with that!) and I was trying to rush vinj, and he said "why do you always have to compare us to others, we are not about that stuff.?" And that brought me back to earth, or should I say the kingdom of God. I am glad he has this treasure in him, he often pulls me out of the worlds eye and into the kingdom of God, where things of the world just don't make sense, and where we don't make sense in the world... Anyway, i love that.
NuMba TwO Inspirtation
This Family has devoted their lives to Jesus totally, and to mozambique. I have been listening to testimonies from them over the last few days, and it's just incredible, as you may have read in my last post. Recently Rolland was dying he doctors told them to bring their kids back home to say goodbye to him, I know the seriousness of his condition is true because my friend sherilyn just got back from mozambique and saw him like this. You can find on you Tube a video of his testimony, where ROLLAND is sharing how he was HEALED totally...

Just so inspiring.
NuMba ThReE How Life is so crazy funny
So as vinj and I have really given God total control, and have chosen to TRUST HE IS OUR PROVIDER. We have two people who support our missions, one gives $50 a month, the other gives $250 a month. We got a call a few days later from the $250 and said he wouldnt be able to support us anymore. And vinj and I just laughed, vinj said he expected it, kind of like Jesus is going to be wiping the slate clean, then writing a whole new story... at the same time we found out to finsh our house we need $7000 more then what we have any means of saving. SO, life is crazy and throws curve balls all the time, BUT God is good, and life is an adventure with him... so, come what may!
: )
NuMba FoUr my Bed
I love our bed, most nights I fall into bed thinking, there is no place like this... I guess anyones place of rest is wonderful, I also know most of the people in world don't have beds, and I count it a huge blessing while I have one, and am thankful for every night spent in it. I was thinking last night I should really phone Markus and Lenora and tell them thank you again for that wonderful mattress. And thank you to mom and dad for the memory foam. We've had it for 4 years... but I still love it all the same.
NuMbA FiVe Quiet moments
I love those moments at night when everything is winding down, and it's just vinj and and I laying on the couch talking about the day, or probably how cute Seth is. haha. Life is so good laying in your mans arms just chillin, and in those moments there is real rest. And with a mind like mine that is a HUGE accomplishment. Vinj helps me slow down, and I need it.
Also would like to say I love my parents more and more, they are amazing parents, but even more amazing friends...

Beautiful post, Babe. I love your description of Vinjelu. He is a special man all right.
Did you go to the original blog and post your link? You should, if you didn't.
From Pastor Eugene's New Testament, Ephesians 2:1, "It wasn't long agothat you were mired in that old staggnant life of sin. You let the world, which doesn't know the first thing about living, tell you how to live." Kinda goes with what you were saying about Vinj bringing you back out of the "eye of the world".
Thats beautiful dad, and so true. The world doesn't know hot to live and thats the truth.
I am excited to really live.
oh, mom I didn't pst on that blog. I don't know how to do that, I need you to show me a few things on the blogging page. Maybe you could come to our house before church and show me a few things I was wondering about?
Kathryn, hello and welcome! I've read about you and Vinjelu on your mom's site.
What a lovely tribute to your husband you wrote!
I can really relate to loving one's bed. And it is just so hard to wrap my mind around the fact that people do indeed not even have beds in this world. The thought makes me sad but even more thankful for something that most of us who have one take for granted.
Aw...family is just the BEST.
Loved reading about yours and how the Lord is blessing you!
Happy week!
