30 Weeks....

This week was full of fun... mainly, because by the end of the week the nursery had it's complete face lift!! Ceilings were scraped, walls painted and wallpaper hung! I absolutely love it and hope that Baby Rector does too :). I will post pictures after Baby comes, because I won't have most of my bedding until that time - seeing as I don't know what we are having... but the room is looking great!

Really, other than that it has just been quite crazy - wedding season is here! (Well, it has been here since March, but personal schedule is really starting to pick up... hence behind 2 weeks on my weekly posts!).

This week, we pray FAITHFULNESS over you. As we continue to pray that you will receive salvation from a young age, we pray that indwelling of the Holy Spirit would give you confidence to trust in the FAITHFULNESS of our Heavenly Father. I am going to steal some words from one of my favorite songs, but simply because this is a prayer I pray over myself as I sing it... so we will for you too:

FAITHFUL (words by Eoghan Heaslip)

Lord You have shown Yourself to be
Never changing always FAITHFUL
Lord You have shown Your heart for me
The loving touch of a caring father

In every day that passes
And all the worlds distractions
Through seasons and life's changes
You always remain FAITHFUL to me with your

Perfect love, perfect love casts out all fear and shows me that
Every Word and promise to me Will be fulfilled, will be fulfilled

FAITHFUL, you are FAITHFUL, FAITHFUL, FAITHFUL, FAITHFUL

May you cry out in seasons of joy and in seasons of doubt to our FAITHFUL Father, who promises never to leave nor forsake you. Who knows the length of your days even now, while you are growing in my tummy. May you stand on his FAITHFULNESS in a world full of hopelessness.

We also pray that you have a FAITHFUL heart... steadfast in your pursuit of holiness, freely offering your friendship, your heart, your service to others. That you would not stray from your walk, though seasons of life do change, and we will always face struggles in our FAITH, that you would FAITHFULLY cling to the justification and sanctification of your soul.

Deuteronomy 7:9 Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the FAITHFUL God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations.

1 Samuel 12:24 Only fear the LORD and serve him FAITHFULLY with all your heart. For considerwhat great things he has done for you.

Psalm 40:10-11 I have not hidden your deliverance within my heart; I have spoken of your FAITHFULNESS and your salvation; I have not concealed your steadfast love and your FAITHFULNESS from the great congregation. As for you, O LORD, you will not restrain your mercy from me; your steadfast love and your FAITHFULNESS will ever preserve me!

Psalm 119: 29-31 Put false ways far from me and graciously teach me your law! I have chosen the way of FAITHFULNESS; I set your rules before me. I cling to your testimonies, O LORD; let me not be put to shame!

Lamentations 3:22-24 The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are newevery morning; great is your FAITHFULNESS. "The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in him."

Cheerleading Tryouts

If you have ever been through any sort of team tryout, audition, or interview, you know the waiting period can be a little bit stressful.... and well, that gives you an idea of how the hunt for our reception location has been since our engagement. BJ and I wanted to find a location that we felt "suits" us... so, the search began a while ago, to say the least. Enjoy this process alongside of us: 1. Dallas Museum of Art--who wouldn't want to have their reception here? The Hamon Atrium is absolutely perfect for the bride and groom who like to work with bare bones--slate floors, concrete infrastructure, and a 5 story glass wall with colorful blown glass cascading down. Not only that, but it really taps in to BJ's "artistic" side. So, we get all worked up over the DMA to find out that well, weddings are taking back seat due to the arrival of King Tut. Yes, He and all his artefactual glory are coming to Dallas in October, and well, until about 2 weeks ago, wedding

The Sister of Honor...

Its time for our readers to get to know some of our bridal party... and there is no better place to start than with your maid of honor!   For those of you who don't know my younger sister Katie, growing up she was my sidekick, my stage-hand, my monkey that would bang the cymbals if I asked.... basically, if I was the center of attention, she was right there to introduce me, applaud me, or be my partner in crime.   So now as we have both "grown" up, and its time for me to make the biggest decision of my life, it means the world to me that there Katie will be.... right by my side, my-stage hand, making me look better and supporting me as I change my last name once and for all. Just so we are clear, there was, however, one time when I was furious that Katie shared my stage.... when I was about 6 years old I was determined I would be a childhood star.  So my parents, indulging me in this dream, let me audition for a kids movie called "The Donut Man".  Katie, 3 at th

Crowdsourced Group Gift Guide 2020

Okay, so admittedly I am not a blogger in the sense that I do not actually know what I am doing.... so friends, bear with me - humor me, maybe - as I attempt to simply put all of the amazing ideas that so many people shared with me when I asked about gifts for Tripp, my 9 year old son, this Christmas.  I'll start with this - there are the usual suspects that if they were recommended once, they were recommended a dozen times... and it would come as no surprise, I imagine, that they included all things Lego, Nerf and _______ boards.   But there we tons of other ideas that were honestly new, to me, and I would love to share them with you! I've put them in somewhat of a category... and linked them all! Let me know what you purchase or if you have other ideas to add to this awesome resource!  Hope this is a blessing to all us parents of boys, ages 8-13 , shopping this season!
