My God Avenges

I think it is sometimes easy for us to forget that vengeance and revenge is of the Lord. We should not seek it out. This past week I went to see one of my favorite musicals, Sweeney Todd. If you haven't seen or heard of it, it is about a man seeking revenge on the ones who destroyed his world. While he does get them back, the story also ends tragically for Mr. Sweeney Todd. It is a great reminder that revenge doesn't always work out in your favor and it's best left up to the Lord. Let's remember to let the Lord deal with our enemies. 

 Deuteronomy 32:25, 42
To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste. I will make mine arrows drunk with blood and my sword shall devour flesh, and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revengers upon the enemy.

 Proverbs 20:22
Say not thou, I will recompense evil but wait on the Lord and he shall save thee.

 Jeremiah 5:9
Shall I not visit for these things? Saith the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

 Romans 12:18 - 19
If it be possible as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves but rather give place unto wrath for it is written, vengeance is mine I will repay saith the Lord.

 2 Thessalonians 1:7 - 9
And to you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from Heaven with his mighty angels. In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power.

 Hebrews 10 : 30 - 31
For we know him that hath said vengeance belongeth unto me I will recompense saith the Lord. And again the Lord shall judge his people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Free Samples and Offers

I wanted to get this out soon as possible as I know the Holidays are upon us and everyone is looking to save some money this time of year. This post is geared towards parents of multiples but if you have singletons please feel free to reach out to the companies below too for some free samples and offers, but please be aware some offers might not apply to you. If you’re like me then the minute your babies were born you were online looking at deals and ways to save money. I came across a lot of blog posts and articles stating if you contact this company then they will send you this product free. I thought how true is this? So I put them to the test. I took many lists from the internet and combined it into one giant list of baby product companies; I then emailed and mailed each company requesting free samples due to the birth of my twin girls. Below you will find the responses I received. Some companies were great, while others were….off putting. I included coupon codes I found o...

August 31, 2017 - Our 8 Week Ultrasound

We had our 8 week ultrasound today!! I was super nervous. I pray for my little ones every day that they both will be healthy and grow stronger and be where they need to be at, at each milestone. Of course being a part of a support group you see a ton of miscarriage stories and you hear about abnormal phenomenons and it gets your mind to wander! The scariest thing I keep thinking about is the Vanishing Twin Syndrome . I’m so worried that we’re going to go to an appointment and one will be missing. So of course I was nervous about going today but I was also really excited to see my little jelly beans again. Ok so checkup update…. I am 8 weeks and 4 days today. Baby A is measuring at 8w4d (right on target) 19.9mm and the heartbeat was 171. Baby B is measuring at 8w5d 21.4mm (“he” was also the bigger baby last time too. Think we might have a chunky monkey on our hands!) The heartbeat was 177. We got to see Baby A “wave” at us. “He” was moving his little hand, and it ...

My God Answers Prayer

I thought it might be fun to do a small series about what my God is. This post will just be verses about how God answers prayers and for us to use as a great reminder. Feel free to comment below which verses have helped you remember that God answers your prayers (maybe not always in the way you were asking) or a story about how He has answered. Psalm 86: 6 - 7 Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer and attend to the voice of my supplications. I will call upon thee for thou wilt answer me. Psalm 116:1 - 2 I love the Lord because he ahth heard my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore I will call upon him as long as I live. Psalm 138:3 In the day when I cried thou answered me, and strengthened me with strength in my soul. Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. 1 Peter 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous and his ears are open unto their prayers ...
