Speaking In Tongues

Over the past few months I have learned many things but one of which I think I should pass on. Growing up in youth group the question of "Speaking In Tongues" would always come up and the youth director would always give some biblical answer. I am here to tell you I have witnessed it first hand. Since the twins have been able to babble I noticed that they were communicating but not quite sure if they understood what the other was saying. Since they have been able to move and walk about I realize they do know what the other is saying. Just sitting back and observing you can tell that Macie is the dominant twin. She will throw a fit and scream yah yah yah yah yah and Brec will just look at her and continue to do what he was doing. BUT then she does what we call the "turbo move".... she throws it up into turbo and Brec comes into action. He will crawl over to her, touch her, give her his toy, or go get something from a different room and bring it back to her and she is silenced. Then they will exchange words of some sort. (I like to think its Macie saying, " Thank You" but its probably not) This conversation goes on for a little while each time with both participating. One will look at the other and yada yada yada and the other responds immediately. Its a very scary feeling ...... they supply each others needs and their one. I was warned about this before they were born. A friend said, "Its sad but true, they will take care of each other the older they get...... they will not want you to do "it" (whatever that might be) but their twin. So for now I just sit back and try my hardest to decode this secret language they have, in hopes that they will continue to let me be apart of this unique relationship called a twin.

One Day at a Time

As the very exciting move approaches, I must admit that I am a little nervous. I have lived in this city literally my whole life. I am very excited about what God has in store for my family and know that blessing are sure to come by being obedient. "ROOTS"... The thought of putting down roots somewhere else is rather hard to accept. You know the job of a root is to provide support for the plant (basic core), nurish the plant and help it bring forth new life. So "roots" we will plant where ever God leads. These roots will help anchor our family and hopefully not only nurish my family but also those we come in contact with. Of course new life will come - or should I say new parts of life (we are not planning on adding an additions to the family) and we will learn to adjust day by day. God is opening doors for this family like never before and we love sitting back and watching him work. Work on God ....we are FOLLOWING!!!!
