Always Room for Moore

So.... it's 2011 Already!

I only blogged a couple of times last year, SO this year my new resolutions are to read more books, and BLOG some more!

As I reflect upon 2010, it was a year of Commitment for our family, commitment to jobs, commitment to each other in our marriage, commitment to paying off debt that started when Niah had a seizure in January of 2010 that started the year for us in MAJOR hole. It was a year to look PAST obstacles, to look above for strength and endurance and see that the Lord is FAITHFUL in His promises to us & then in the end REAP the rewards of sowing diligently & faithfully.

Highlights of 2010 were: Our life group is phenomenal we LOVE sharing life and being real it has CHANGED our lives, Getting to see Dr. Rector and getting help for my Thyroid inbalance, Youth Camp (Getting to see Kami & Leslie too!) and Kids camp with Beltway as a family, Finding out Lauren & Sarah were pregnant, Visiting my parents & sister in California in July going to Capitola/Santa Cruz California taking Niah and his cousins where I spent most summers when were in the states growing up, July 4th Pot-Luck, Getting to see Calli, Ivan, & Ellie at the Ft. Worth Zoo, Niah's 2nd Drums Rockstar Birthday Party, Niah starting mother's day out in the FALL, Time with Amy, Haley, Alex & Lauren, Getting rid of the DOG!, Harper and Elle's baby shower, Family Vacation to my parents Timeshare in Newport, CA a SWEET sweet time, The flowers Amy Tuegel brought me after I was laid off from my job, Our 3rd anniversary to Rancho Loma, The Healing Conference, Getting to see Brooke Fraser in Dallas with the Ellis's, My parents were here for Thanksgiving a FIRST ever since 1996 & fixed up TONS of needed loose ends in our house, 6am prayer time with the Life Group Girls, lastly The Moore Family Ski Trip to Ruidoso, NM for Christmas which was also a FIRST & a PERFECT end to the year!

I can honestly say the MAJORITY of the year (Janaury-August) as a family was spent supporting Daddy in his role for the building project at Beltway Park Baptist Church. I had MANY thoughts throughout the process: happy, excited, mad, and thankful for him to be able to have a job that he LOVES and HAS when SO many people are out of work! I was happy and excited for how it would BLESS and change for ETERNITY SO many people's lives, mad because I had a LOT more of a single parent role at home with Niah and taking care of the house, and at the same time THANKFUL that my husband is gifted enough to play such a role! Truly he knows how to do about EVERYTHING he puts his mind and hands to! Incredible!

Faith Brodie lived with us from Memorial Day weekend through Thanksgiving, I was thankful to have someone in my home during the nights that I would have been alone if she were not there. She was able to be a presence and for that we are GRATEFUL!

I honestly see that 2011 is a year for REJOICING! and REAPING!

Rejoicing in that the Lord has TRULY set us FREE! That HE is FAITHFUL, that the works that He starts, HE brings to COMPLETION!

Reaping the rewards of waiting on the Lord and being patient asking for Him to move, getting OUT of the way so HE can move, and then watching Him move! Watching the Lord bless the work that my husband did to bless SO many!

Our family has already made plans for a earlier night time for Niah, he currently goes to sleep the same time we do, we have loved it, and it was the only way he saw Dad through the project and we just got used to it. But this is a NEW year, a new START and that is one of our resolutions to get our family on a balanced time schedule.

I am starting my reading resolution with, "The Happy Intercessor" by Beni Johnson, I'm LOVING it! HIGHLY recommended, it is so far birthing a desire to prayer walk Marrekesh, Morocco... Want to join me? sometime in 2011 most likely summer....

Niah got his John Deere Power Wheels Gator "Tractor" he calls it, and NICE beginning to the year ( A late Christmas Gift because of the Ski trip) I would say! He LOVES it! Niah is a JOY, and incredible gift and blessing and we are THRILLED to be his parents.

Jacob's photography side business is BOOMING, he just found out his prints were chosen from his printing company to be the DEMO's for them at a LARGE photography show in 2011!

I am also starting to work this year (Just found out it was official this morning) part time and am THRILLED to be working!

There is SO much to be thankful for! The Moore's are looking UP and looking FORWARD to what's ahead!

We are just enjoying being together and praying into what the Lord has in store to help us as a family reflect even more of Jesus!

Thank Goodness we don't have to BE perfect for Him to love us, or use us!

Be encouraged to DREAM & look ahead in 2011, I know we are, come Join us!

Love,
