Sermons and Momma’s bed

I remember in college, cleaning house with my mom (her doing most of the work) but she would blast sermons as she cleaned; I always really enjoyed listening to them with her. Well, I kind of forgot about listening to sermons for a couple of years, but my love for listening to sermons as I clean house has been revitalized. I have been downloading John MacArthur’s series on A Portrait of a New Life…CONVICTING! They are SO good…and SO humbling! They are from Ephesians and he is working through what we should and shouldn’t be like as a new creation in Christ. They are excellent and I have been so encouraged by them!

I have been reminiscing a lot lately. Yesterday, for Liam’s nap I put him down in our bed…he slept so deeply. I went and checked on him a few times because he slept so long. I was looking at his peaceful face and got to thinking about how comforting my parents’ bed is. I loved sleeping in their bed and still do. Whenever we go for a visit I always take my naps on their bed…it is the best place ever. It has their smell, it’s always clean and comfy, and of course I feel particularly safe in it. All my worries go away when I am in my momma’s bed. I love that I have a comfy/safe bed for my little baby to nap in, nothing makes me happier than to see little Liam soundly asleep in our bed…it is a precious sight.

On another note, my dear preggie friend Margo came down for a visit this week! Preggie friend, as defined by me, is a friend who is pregnant and due around the same time as you. Anyhow, she came by for a visit with her little girl Juliet who was born just about a week and a half before Liam. It was so fun to talk and catch up…and of course put our babies through the misery of picture posing.

So cute!


They have matching diapers on just so you know.....
Also, in this picture Liam's belly looks like his Great Grandpa Jerry's!



Haha! This one is just hysterical!

  1. What a good helper you are, Liam! In a few months he'll take them all out and 'help mommy put them away' all over the house! Love you all! Mom and Dad

  2. Amanda, what a wonderful thing you are doing by putting this on the blog. I look foreward to it every week. I can hardly wait to get hold of my great grandson. Tell him not to cry at us. Love you guys. Memaw and Grandpa
