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 :)

A mini peek into our week (#4)

Hey y'all! No time for a legit update this week so just 2 quick things:

1. Gianna cut her first tooth!!! Bottom middle left side (whatever the technical term is...). Glad that's over. Only 20ish more to go! LOL.

Gianna was super sweet at the beginning of the week as a result (not sweet that she was in pain, but that she needed me more than her usual "I need you but I'm pushing you away at the same time" demeanor). She nursed a lot and was tamer than usual. I even got a few kisses :-)

2. Lots of visitors in the past 2 weeks! Had a few local friends + kids come over during the week, and my mom and grandmother drove up last Saturday from Houston. The Grossman clan are in transit right now to come and visit, too! 


She is just so super precious to watch playing, I die

Devious and mischievous. Need to keep that bathroom door shut from now on, lest she turn into a toilet flusher/toilet water toucher...
