Many Changes

Well, now my children are 6 months older and what a difference that makes. I am really getting the hang of things. Every day that goes by I begin to feel better and better about myself and my abilities. At the same time, I realize that I would have none of these abilities without God. He has blessed me immensely and I will never fully understand why but I am eternally grateful.
Potty training is still a constant battle with my oldest, but it's been quite interesting with my younger 2. They are now showing an interest in using the potty. They fight over it all the time now so I think I will need to get a second potty for them. My girl has already peed in the potty once but she is not ready to go full on yet. She has the psychological readiness but not the physical readiness required. They are only 18 months old.
They talk pretty well now. At least 20 words each of them. Their words aren't very clear. They say keee for kitty, no for nose, ay for egg, and flowow for flower. In fact I don't think any word they say is correct. It amazes me, the difference between their speech and my oldest son's speech at this age. He spoke in clear sentences like "turn it off", and "come see me", and "I want bye-bye". Every word was crystal clear. That's not normal at that age though. But then I look at the physical development of these two and they are almost the same level as my older son, right now. It's very fascinating to me.
I am exploring church involvement again. We have gone through the membership process at a church that we love. It is a Calvinist church. For a lot of my friends that's a problem, but I have been doing a lot of studying in the Word and I have found it to be quite scripturally sound. I believe very strongly that the Bible is the word of God, and it is my last and final resource for making decisions. I am completely open to scriptural argument but if it's not in the Bible it's not a valid argument in my opinion. I feel great about this church. It is completely run on the Bible with no compromises which I have the utmost respect for. I have never seen another church that I felt did this. I am sure it is not perfect and I will see why some day, but it is the perfect church for us right now and I am excited to become a part of it. We will start serving in nursery and then I am going to look into spending time in their institute so I can be more fully educated in the Bible. I have always had a heart for evangelism but I am not armed for it, as my knowledge of the Bible is quite minimal. I am excited to dive in and learn much so I can teach my friends and family.
