Drawers filled with blue...

-
I never would have thought that I would be completely redecorating our nursery when we brought the baby home from the hospital. I am happy to say that it is done, all except one or two decorative touches. Re-doing the nursery wasn't as much work as sorting through all the clothes, towels, burp cloths, blankets, etc. It has been a lot of work but I have finally packed away all evidence of pink and purple. I was really worried that we wouldn't have any blue to replace all that pink with because we had recently gotten rid of all of our boy stuff (since we thought we were having a girl!) BUT my God has come through for us! We have had so many friends and family that have brought clothes, towels, blankets, etc. We have everything we need for Tyson now! The room is now painted blue and the drawers are filled with blue! 

Look at all these baby boy items that we've been given since our "surprise" on Monday!
This isn't all of it either!
My little helper!
Today I am thankful for Jehovah Jireh, my God our Provider. It has become very clear through out the past week that God cares about the intimate details of our lives. He has provided everything we have needed for Tyson but also, most of what we've wanted. He knows how much it means to me to have a room ready for Tyson so He has provided everything we needed for a little boy room! He has also provided all necessary items for taking care of Tyson. We could have used the pink burp cloths but God has provided everything in blue and green. I'm so grateful that we have all we need!

 Jehovah Jireh, thank You for Your provision. Thank You for caring about me and my family and all the little details of our lives.

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...

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...

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...
