Romans 12:12 in the hard times

Romans 12:12

“Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer…” Romans 12:12

This seems so easy, or at least that it should be easy.  But we know that is anything but the case.

Rejoice in Hope. Rejoice means to be glad and hope means what is wanted.  So we are glad in what we are hoping for.  Okay, makes sense. Easy enough.

Be Patient in Tribulation.  Okay, this may be a little harder.  Patient is to wait.  Tribulation is serious trial or trouble.  Ouch. This may be a little harder.  So I need to be patient, which is hard when I am waiting for something exciting like my birthday or Disney World, but patient when it is a trial I am going through?  A little harder!

Be Constant in Prayer.  I like to think this is easier than it really is.  I find that I have to be pretty  mindful to make sure I don’t let the day get away from me and that consistently throughout the day I am praying and thanking God and talking to Him.  It can be easy to all of a sudden find that it is 6 pm and the first prayer is grace at dinner.  I know that is not what God has in mind for me.

I am going to continue and work on expanding my definition of Romans 12 as I feel like it is one of those verses (they all are!) that I need to continuously revisit.  If you just skim the words, it may look easy but when you spend time and really unpack it?  It can hit you like a slap in the face.  Maybe that is a little drastic but I think you know what I mean.  To really live the Bible means to really live it and do what it says, not just read what it says.

Pur Nylon Lighting Cable [Review]

Pur Nylon Lighting Cable

Pur Nylon Lighting Cable.

I love the PUR Lighting Cables! I have the pink one and the silver one. They feel extremely sturdy with the nylon braiding on the outside and they do not tangle. I can still twist it up to store. The USB and lighting end both feel extremely secure with metal housing. This cable does not start to break apart in no time like the other lighting cables that are sold on the market as there is a rubber piece that holds everything together and protects the connections. Every other cable I have had has broken in this spot in no time. I have not tested the size of the Lighting connector with all of my cases but it fits the ones I have tried. I feel secure in knowing that the cord is Apple Mfi certified by Apple to work with all of my Lighting Devices. I also love that there is a one year limited warranty if something did happen.

I received this product at a discount to use and provide my honest review. The opinions expressed are my own and I am not told what to say. I really did have the pink cable prior to receiving the silver at a discount and absolutely love it.

Meeting Breckin

Meeting BreckinLast Friday I flew in to Tennessee to meet Breckin for the first time.  I could not wait to get my hands on him.  He is now one month old and perfectly snuggly!  He is still quite little (under 8 lbs) and extremely adorable!

Breckin at work

On Monday Kendra brought Breckin to work to meet everyone.  Charlie couldn’t help but get in on the action as well. I have been trying to get as much time with Breckin as I possibly can while I am here.  The next time I see him he will be 3 months old!

Our nephew has arrived

Breckin and Kendra
Can’t wait to meet Breckin!  Mom and baby are doing wonderful!  He arrived yesterday.  My brother-in-law was hoping for a leap year baby but he missed it by about 11 hours!  He was not due until the 8th of March, so he surprised everyone (not really 🙂 and came a little early!  I will be flying out in the beginning of April to help.
