We're going to Disney World!

-
A few months ago I began selling KEEP collective. I just wanted to earn some extra money, to help pay for homeschooling curriculum. Well, I paid for that with the first check! Since then I  have promoted 4 times in 3 months and God has used this company to bless my family more than I could have ever imagined! 

We have always wanted to take our kids to Disney World but honestly, we haven't had the money. This year we had been planning to go to Hilton Head Beach for a long weekend but, out of nowhere, I started making all this extra money! We were also given a free week in an Orlando Resort! So, instead of Hilton Head, we ended up planning a vacation for Disney World! But the boys still thought we were going to the beach. We never told them otherwise. 
Until today...

Once we crossed the Florida line, we stopped at the Welcome Center and had the boys sit at a picnic table. They were very confused but Bryan said, "We wanted to tell you that we aren't really going to the beach." Their little faces were struck with sadness and confusion. Then, I gave them a bag with a balloon in it. Evan used a safety pin to pop the balloon, some confetti popped out and they were able to see what was inside bag. They pulled out lanyards with our Disney cards in them. There was a Star Wars lanyard for Dylan, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse gang for Evan, Minnie Mouse for Mommy and Mickey Mouse for Daddy. They were still confused so I said, "Where might we might going where we'd see these characters?" Dylan insistantly knew and he nearly burst with excitment! Evan was smiling from ear to ear! It was so amazing to watch their sweet faces as they realized that this week is about to be one of the best times of their little lives!

They have bubbled with joy all evening! We got to our resort, found our beautiful condo (with Jacuzzi and amazing view of a lake) and went to dinner before turning in early to bed. We will be getting up bright and early tomorrow! We're going to "Star Wars Weekend" at Hollywood Studios!

Today I am thankful for KEEP Collective and how God has used it to bless our family! I am also grateful for this amazing opportunity to be in the happiest place on Earth with my fellas!! I might be more excited than anyone!!!! I haven't been here since I was young and Bryan and I have never been here together so this is just plain fun for everyone!! Mostly, I am thankful for the grins on the faces of my sons! They are sooooooo happy to be at Disney World!!! (and they aren't the only ones!)

Please don't give me a wedgie!

 Would you believe me if I told you that life with 3 boys is wild??  You probably would, huh? I'm telling you, just an average Wednesday night in the Shaw household is full of all sorts of craziness! I did hear a first tonight though!  Bryan was wrestling with the boys and suddenly Dylan starts yelling "Please don't give me a wedgie!" Now by those words, you would assume that he didn't want a wedgie but the way he was shaking his booty in front of Bryan and laughing, proved that he really did want a wedgie! HA! Then, of course, Evan and Tyson started saying, "Please don't give me a wedgie!" (One in English, one in toddler language) So we had three little boys running around shaking their tail ends and begging for wedgies.  There. Is. Never. A. Dull. Moment. As you can see from this picture above, they got their wedgies! They thought it was hysterical! And I just had to show you the picture below, just to give you an id

Beauty from Ashes

I have heard the term "beauty from ashes" a thousand times in the past week. It wasn't the first time I 've heard the term but I've always just brushed it off. Since I've heard it so much lately, I decided to pay it some attention.  So here we go... The Bible says in Isaiah that God will give us beauty instead of ashes. In Biblical times it was the custom for people in great times of mourning and difficulty to lay down in ashes. Just imagine this...you’ve got a big problem in your life so you just lay down in a pile of dirty ashes. There is absolutely nothing beautiful about this scenario. So where does the beauty come from? Can ashes really be turned into something beautiful?   Scripture says that God is able to take the situation that burdens you or causes you pain and turn it into beauty. He can pick you up out of the ash pile of life and make something beautiful out of you. The Hebrew word for ashes is epher and the Hebrew word for beauty is pheer. Just m

Psalm 84: 11-12

For the  Lord   God is a sun   and shield;      the  Lord  bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold      from those whose walk is blameless.  Lord  Almighty, blessed  is  the one who trusts in you Psalm 84: 11-12 I've been pondering Psalm 84:11-12 for a couple of weeks now. It has become one of my favorite verses. After really digging into this verse on my own and in Bible study this morning, I feel like God speaks volumes through these 38 simple words.  God is a sun and a shield. Like the sun, God provides for us, nourishes us, and is always present. The sun provides hope with each new day, just as God gives hope in even the worst situation. Like a shield, God protects us and gives us security. We can hide behind Him and feel safe. But, a shield does no good just laying near by. It only protects when picked up and used appropriately. The same is true with God. If we don't acknowledge Him, if we don't get to know Him, if we don'
