Intro

We named our blog “Raising Mustard Seeds” after the famous parable in Matthew’s Gospel. We had some mustard seeds of our own laying dormant in our hearts, and finally, the year before our marriage, we began to let those seeds grow. Our journey with Christ hasn’t always been easy, but it has bore more fruit than we could possibly imagine. And through the mustard seeds He planted in our hearts, He opened them to receive little mustard seeds of our own…

While Jesus in this parable is talking about how faith and our relationship with God should grow from something very small to something mighty and powerful, it’s applicable to our children as well. It is our hope that through prayer and proper parenting, our children will grow from small and helpless (tiny mustard seeds) to being mighty in Christ, so that they will be shining lights in the world and people will come to “dwell in the branches” of their faith.

So, this is our little space in the big internet where we will share our most likely crazy experiences as we start our family and we hope those who are close to us will enjoy laughing at us and with us, and maybe even learn something new :)

Week 27 Update

Hey Everyone! This'll be short, since I've got lots of food in the works. The cooler weather put me in a cooking mood and among the good smells from my oven comes the delicious wafting of Rosemary Olive Oil Bread. Be. Jealous. Or, you could just click the link and make the bread on your own--it's super easy. :-)

The moment/day I've been waiting for has finally come. I look like a "real" pregnant lady now!
Chris took this shot in the parking lot of Luigi's before we totally pigged out on Chicken Parm, Bread, Salad, and Cheesesticks after a long weekend in Dallas!

Also, some minor bragging: Chris has been writing a weekly blog for his company, PCDworks, and now has an article published on a Products Design and Development website. Check it out! If you notice the picture they included, you'll see the awesome haircut I gave him :-) (mama's got to brag a little too!)

**Bread update** just pulled out of the oven and sampled: Perfection!!!
