God has blessed us so greatly.</div><br />
I have been trying to figure out how to write this post. I do not know if I can put into words how much someone I do not know has affected me. Last week, I found a blog (through another blog) of this incredibly amazing family. Take the time to read the story of <a href="http://randycourtneytripproth.blogspot.com/">Courtney </a>and her amazing little boy Tripp. I cannot imagine the pain of what they are going through. Tripp is very sick and Courtney has devoted her life to making his the best it can possibly be. Tripp is a beautiful gift from God. I am amazed. I cannot get this sweet family off of my mind and all I can do is pray for them. I know that this is the best thing I can do for them and I know that God has put them on my heart for a reason. I have prayed for this family, wept for this family, and I will continue. <br />
<br />
I do not know understand why such pain exists here on earth, but I do know that God can and is using it to His glory. I also know that, after reading their story, I have been in constant awe and gratefulness that God has blessed us with two healthy girls. I have always thanked God for our girls' health, but after reading about this family, I am grateful on a whole new level. <br />
<br />
Please pray for Courtney and Tripp. I don't think they will ever know the impact they have had on my life.<br />
<br />
Don't forget to thank God for your blessing every day!Ashley Yateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11756233408495932465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5486888739039250907.post-47457543093017900702011-10-12T13:36:00.000-04:002011-10-12T13:36:14.479-04:00Gwinnett County Fair 2011FAIR 2011!<br />

<br />
Our family was in the car and Adam and I were talking. I heard Lorelei talking in the backseat but didn't think much of it. Then, I looked back and saw her with her head bowed and her hands folded and she was saying "Thank you God, for my blessings, Amen" It brought tears to my eyes and prayers of thanksgiving! She kept praying so I grabbed my phone to get it on video and caught the last few seconds...<br />
<br />
<br />
Enjoy :)<br />

<br />
Something I was not prepared for: Madelyn hates the car. HATES the car. I think it stems back from when we first brought her home the weather was so very hot and she has not yet forgotten it. Lorelei was a great car-rider from the first day we brought her home. Just put her right to sleep. Madelyn...lets just say it has been a challenge to go anywhere. <br />
<br />
In our search to find something that will soothe her, we popped in the new children's Christian music CD I had bought. GLORIOUS! Somehow, she loves it! So, if you see us driving down the road, you can be almost certain that we are bopping along to "Arky, Arky" or perhaps "Father Abraham." It is awesome that our little baby loves to worship at such a young age! Honestly though, it is hard to be mad at the driver in front of you when you are singing along to "He's got the whole world in His hand..."<br />
<br />
Sometimes when I forget the music is playing and I am deep in thought, I hear from the back seat Lorelei shouting "AMEN" to "If you're happy and you know it" and it just warms my heart. Lorelei is getting to know most of the songs on the CDs (notice CDs is now plural) and it makes the car a happy place and to hear Lorelei actually starting to sing praises to God...I cannot tell you what a joyous sound it is.<br />
<br />
Also, if Madelyn is upset, Lorelei starts saying "Its okay Madelyn, Shhhhhh" in her sweet little voice. <br />
<br />
Turns out, maybe it was a blessing after all that Madelyn didn't like the car :) <br />
<br />
For everything happens for a reason...<br />

My amazing husband was baptized! For the past year or two, the Lord has put it on his heart that he needed to be baptized. Adam became a Christian at the age of six and was baptized at the age of nine. However, he really rededicated his life to Christ after college and now that he is a husband, father, and leader of our household, the Lord put it on his heart that he needed to make a public declaration that he is a follower of Christ.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">August 6, 2011 at 12 Stone Hamilton Mill at the 5pm service, Adam was baptized by Pastor Kevin Queen. It was so special to be there with him. What made it even more special was that Lorelei was there to see her Daddy be baptized. While she didn't really understand yet, she will understand more someday and she will get to see the video too! Whenever we talk about Daddy getting baptized she says "Daddy's bath." Oh so sweet!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I am so proud of my husband! I have had the privilege of watching him mature in his faith each year that we have been married. I cannot wait to see what the future holds as he continues to lead our family in His path!

Campmeeting 2011! So excited! This year will be wonderful but definitely a challenge w/ 2 little ones (one being only 5 weeks old). Adam had to work today so I came on up with the girls this afternoon.<br />
Lorelei was excited to go for a walk around the campgrounds.<br />

Lorelei had fun sliding down the slide at the playground. It started raining, but I let her keep sliding anyways :) Watch the dismount b/c the slide was wet and fast!<br />

It is the Lord Christ you are serving.<br /><br />This piece of scripture is so difficult for me to actually live out. The Bible says whatever you work for, if it’s not the Lord, is an idol. That’s a tough one to swallow. It makes me think that often times I am actually practicing idolatry. This is something I struggle with daily. I look for the approval of man, when God’s approval is all that is needed. I could just kick myself when I think about working for myself or others and putting God in the backseat. <br /><br />This all comes full circle for me after Thursday of last week and reading this passage today. I often chase so often the big stuff in my work. I get frustrated easily when I walk into a school and they aren’t ready to purchase 100 projectors that day. It hit me like a train on Thursday. As I visited school after school, I was asked about cables and other small equipment. Nothing big, nothing expensive, and nothing I could actually make any kind of money on. As I started to get frustrated at the day, I was reminded by God that maybe, just maybe, this is why I do what I do. Maybe I’m the one that needs to sell them this kind of stuff and just be happy that I have the ability to come out to them and cater to even the smallest of needs. I started thinking this is what we do as a company. This is why we exist. Why has it taken me so long to realize it and accept it and be happy with it? Sure, I can continue to chase the big stuff when it comes up, but the small stuff is why I’m here doing what I do. I can break it down and start thinking about the little money I will make off of these items, or I can realize that is why our company exists and that is what I’m here for. Since God is in charge of our finances, it doesn’t matter what I sell whether it be large or small. God tells me all the time, give me your first fruits and I'll take care of the rest. <br /><br />I want to work for you God, not myself and certainly not man. I’ll continue to struggle with this always trying to gain approval from this person or the next, but ultimately I know who I am working for even when I don’t always live it. I have to turn back to Colossians 3:23-24 every once in a while and remind myself. My prayer is that God tap me on the shoulder and remind me who I am working for in this life.

It's nothing too profound or anything. It will just give me a chance to reflect on the week and remember and journal some of the moments and "lessons learned" of the week. I think it will be fun and insightful to record some of the memories and lessons I learn each week in order to grow into a more developed, spiritual, mature husband and father. Here are some of the things I learned this week:<br /><br />- I need to carry God’s peace with me and show it to others. Be that non-anxious presence in other’s lives. <br />- Don’t expect plans to stay the same. Changes happen. All the time. Adapt or let it eat away at you.<br />- Some annuals (plants) are not annuals. They will continue to come back every year. Each year a little thicker and a little taller. We were those neighbors with the overgrown weed garden in their front yard. It was supposed to be a butterfly garden. So much for that.<br />- Don’t forget people’s last names. Especially ones that know you. Also, don’t expect for the person you are asking to see this person that you forgot their name to not make you feel stupid when you obviously got the last name wrong, but you had the first name right. Beckie Miller, Beckie Hitch. Very close. <br />- When you hear about a single mom whose ex-husband flees the country and leaves behind their two kids with a baby on the way and a job that just got cut back from 40 hours to 12, you realize just how good you have it and how very blessed and favored you are.<br />- When Kroger has a 2 for $5.00 sale on half gallons of organic milk, you buy at least 2. Another good lesson is don’t decide to start drinking organic milk when your child just gets to the age where she is drinking milk instead of formula and drinks roughly 20 ounces a day. With those figures, Lorelei drinks a half gallon every 3 days. On sale, that is $2.50 / 3 days or $0.83 per day. She drinks that $0.83 in about 6 minutes if you add up her three feedings. That’s 13.8 cents per minute, but who’s counting.<br />- Listen to my wife when she insists that I need help when putting together tables. If not, you end up doing something wrong and getting tendonitis in your elbow and unable to lift anything for 1 to 2 weeks. <br />- Expect to spend at least an hour at the Varsity before a Falcons football game. So many people in line for hamburgers and hotdogs. Really? It’s a burger with some American cheese (probably Kraft singles), and chili (probably canned). Somehow, all together, it’s magically delicious. <br />- Hold the Sabbath sacred. It’s so special to spend the day with family and keep it simple. What a way to end the weekend. <br />- Don’t be so quick to give yourself a pat on the back. Keep your expectations high. Never settle for an okay job even when it may be extraordinary to someone else. Character is everything. Do the right things even when no one else is looking because God always is. <br /><br />Here's to another great week with little ability to use my left arm.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08740024815037785407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5486888739039250907.post-18028930956557979132010-08-09T23:20:00.003-04:002010-08-09T23:47:58.807-04:00Aha moment... a.k.a.

<![endif]-->I was listening to a sermon last week that discussed God's presence in our lives. Something that really struck me was the fact that everything that happens to me is already known by God. It goes through what the pastor called a father filter and maybe, just maybe everything is perfectly designed for my life to shape me in the way that God wants me to be. Even my little problems that occur are designed specifically for me and are a challenge to see how I will react. Am I the only one that has never thought about that? It hit me like a train last week as I was up in Dalton, GA getting my shipment of computer tables into the school where I was to put together 177 tables with the help of one other person.
<br />
<br />I was on a mission. I had my agenda set. 177 tables. I was figuring about 5 tables per hour each. That's 10 tables per hour for 2 people. 9 working hours. That's 90 tables per full day. We went up on Tuesday. We had to unload the truck that morning, so only a half day the first day. We had to go to another school with 15 of those tables. We should be in and out by end of day Thursday. Done deal. No going back. All tables complete. Another satisfied customer.
<br />
<br />Ha.... That would be too easy.
<br />
<br />As we are unloading the tables, I notice several pallets that are just wrecked. Looks like bent metal, crushed table tops, etc... It looked like a complete mess. We got all the tables out of the truck, inside, and assessed the damage. Okay, not as bad as I had thought, but now my mind goes back into calculation mode. Okay. We just lost 2 hours. We have about 20 damaged tables. Great... There goes being done on Thursday. I'm going to have to come back up here to put together 15 or 20 more tables. Such a small problem to others. I know. For me, my agenda was devastated. Then, I remembered just what I was listening to on the way up. God designs our life and puts obstacles in our way to see how we will handle them and grow because of them. He is our Father. He wants us to learn and grow and deal with problems that pop up. Not only that, but he is actually the designer of our lives and coordinates situations that gives us opportunities to grow and change while ultimately knowing the outcome. All of a sudden in that moment, it didn't matter that I will definitely have to come another day and possibly another after that. I knew that small issue was designed for me to see how I would overcome my ridiculous agenda that I always set for myself in completing the tasks of my life.
<br />
<br />I learned through this that my focus on something gets so involved that I lose focus on the bigger picture. Sometimes my agenda is so narrow that I get upset at every little thing that is not a part of it. Is my life Adam's agenda or God's? Sometimes I forget who is really in charge.

That seems to be the bulk of my prayers these days. They used to start with asking for safety, strength, and guidance. I still ask for those, but healing is first on my list. Since we've been at campmeeting (with no TV, AC, or any other modern day luxury), I've had a lot of time to pray (in the heat) and most of my prayers have revolved around healing. <br /><br />I don't know why, but it seems as though an epidemic of sickness is hitting all around Ashley and I and Lorelei and sometimes it feels as though our family is floating around in a tiny, little germ-free bubble (no bio-suits required). I often find myself asking God "why us." I know how that sounds. Isn't that something you say when things are going badly in life? I kick myself for even thinking it, but I do. I don't know why we have stayed immune to the world around us, but we have and I think about how completely unfair it is. Why us? Why are things so good for us when all around us bad things pop up to such good people. I guess that is the age old question that no one ever fully understands. Why do bad things happen to good people? Deep down, I know why and I know that life is just not fair. God never promised it would be. Then why is it so fair to us? We did nothing to deserve this and yet if something good could happen, it does for us. Seeing what others are going through and the trials that God is putting them through is so difficult, yet possibly bittersweet. I think that's the right word to describe it. I know I've probably offended anyone who may read this and I must sound pretty horrible for describing these scenarios in such a way. Hear me out though. The sweet part of all this is that I know God never gives someone more than they can handle and the pain that is being inflicted now will only make these people stronger in their faith and a testimony to others in the way they've handled these circumstances. I've already seen it and been personally influenced by it. It has made me realize the things we take for granted in our bubble. The bitter part comes from the present pain that must be going on; that must be felt by these great people and I can't begin to understand that sitting in my bubble staring out into the rest of the world.<br /><br />Therefore, I must become a warrior of prayer because I know it works and there is great and mighty power in the act of prayer and God is bigger than anything we could ever imagine in this world. Why us? I don't know, but one thing I do know is that blessings flow from our God in all directions. We are being hit by them every second and all I can do is continue to thank God for all that we receive and pray for healing and blessings to pour out to those that are hurting and need the almighty power of healing from our Lord and Savior. Why do we get the favor of health and prosperity and others don't? Maybe we can't handle bad situations with such grace and strength and hopefullness that others can. Maybe God really does know how far we can go; how far it is out there to that breaking point where all hope fades to nothing. Maybe our day is coming where we will need prayer, strength and the almighty healing power of God. For now, I will continue to count my blessings, be that prayer warrior for others, and thank God for the days that I get to spend in my bubble with my wondeful wife and daughter.<br /><br />Many prayers go out daily to those I'm writing about and much love to them. There is a running list of people out there right now that need prayers of healing. I will continue to pray and I will continue to remain faithful and I will probably continue to ask God "why us" and ponder that age old question. <br /><br />God, we need your power of healing. You are our heavenly physician and your strength is needed during this time. We pray for healing, strength, and continued faithfulness. Amen.<br /><br />- AdamAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08740024815037785407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5486888739039250907.post-68830824875119907472010-07-23T11:17:00.006-04:002010-07-23T12:37:22.357-04:00Campmeeting -- Day 6<div><div align="center">What a wonderful day!

Aunt Bette's mother is Big Momma and she is known for her amazing southern cooking so this was quite the compliment--thank you Aunt Bette!</div><br /><br /><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497128079897443522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2w3MgZhJdPM/TEm43RccvMI/AAAAAAAAAKY/8ZCAzNxntIM/s320/SAM_0209.JPG" border="0" /></div></div></div></div><br /><p align="center">Time to go to church<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497139999794393074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0qQBj6STfyDyJvCtNupMD2kUuQcXz2KsrKgAu-IyCGaECiEPGQ1bzGtEWc6xhXoojlL3CCjudHhOaFug0XFziAvZJAsS8bgUd3hnS8f8srGtipJu6hKZ_UfgA6mx9sC7VdVXy2Kv6wUY/s320/SAM_0213.JPG" border="0" /> Lorelei playing in the shavings during service--bad mommy and daddy--but it kept her quiet for a while.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497140976381727266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKirqRIGNuKKsubDhGu5XzIHv6z6ax3rIIl3DW7O8ezw6ysw7mgNj_JIesR90GRa5Gyoxvz6zXMjGYtj9GDqtzTeCwFW2vozCWb1kF_PHBAkinBbh1YEwxlUwCztSX2I32bDnvA2PhCXo/s320/SAM_0219.JPG" border="0" /></p><p align="center"></p><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497140972795998338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge77fpIKbKZi3ULBxVLkeYsE8iZgXO-4oSLdpJqwaW_S22cdPvV03cgl59pFKCrxoIoA2gOdX99YGVMJNVFwI9RJeEJFCfPmj_utMovsu-fX5vw_YCw47U9dcGs_bzYEWk4Xq0UdGUn0A/s320/SAM_0217.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><p align="center"></p></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08740024815037785407noreply@blogger.com1
