By 4:15am, we called the midwives saying the contractions were 4-5 minutes apart. Upon arrival, she checked Crystal and discovered her to be 9cm dilated already. "Well! I'm glad you DID come in!" she exclaimed. A mere 15 minutes later, Crystal began pushing...but after a half an hour, the midwife noticed the supposed "head" pooped--Zoe was in breech position so Jaron drove the vehicle to the hospital with Crystal on all four in the back seat. Only 5 minutes later we arrived at the Reading Hospital. The doctor checked Crystal but explained that she was too far along for a c-section to be done and that pushing through was her only option. Half an hour later Zoe Alika made her grand entrance! God blessed us completely with a safe delivery (though not quite what any of us had planned for) and a healthy, beautiful red-headed daughter! We praise God for His Faithfulness!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some selected pics of her and our family...:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/230812_560930050212_69100214_32029924_4245541_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

It's very exciting and I look forward to that wonderful day with all the joy and love inside me. This baby is going to be so special, wonderful, and one of the biggest blessings in Jaron's life and my life. I cannot believe how a year ago I was desperately longing to start a family but both Jaron and I chose to wait until we felt God was leading in this area. How hard that wait was too! But here we are, nearly half-way through and having a very good pregnancy at that! God is good and gracious and knows the perfect timing for His plans to unfold in each life. I look forward to when I'll be posting our first pictures of the wonderful life that now grows inside of me. :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The midwife was able to pick it up almost instantly (whereas that does not always happen this early on). I was thrilled and a huge grin also covered Jaron's face. Our baby has life and is steadily developing into the little person he/she will one day be. I look forward to meeting this tiny person as each day passes. I pray each day that each stage of the development would go as God designed it to go without any issues/complications. I know that I'll give this child all my love no matter what happens or how it looks when it comes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.losangelesinjurylawyerblog.com/Med%20Mal%20Los%20Angeles%20Baby%20Foot%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.losangelesinjurylawyerblog.com/Med%20Mal%20Los%20Angeles%20Baby%20Foot%202.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;May 13th doesn't seem so very far away because I'm enjoying each day that goes by with this special life that continues to grow more each day inside me. I know that I won't always be content...;) I know that in 5 months or so I'll be aching to just be able to hold little Horst in my arms rather than my ginormous belly. ;) But until then, I pray that each stage proves to be a blessing. &amp;lt;3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gFWmJngv7fY/SXaMTSf8fDI/AAAAAAAABWE/qs3LbKhtjZ4/s400/baby2" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gFWmJngv7fY/SXaMTSf8fDI/AAAAAAAABWE/qs3LbKhtjZ4/s320/baby2" width="304" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8601196898927623528-6620549978868753815?l=froggyundecidednew.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://froggyundecidednew.blogspot.com/feeds/6620549978868753815/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://froggyundecidednew.blogspot.com/2010/10/lub-dub-lub-dub.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8601196898927623528/posts/default/6620549978868753815'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8601196898927623528/posts/default/6620549978868753815'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://froggyundecidednew.blogspot.com/2010/10/lub-dub-lub-dub.html' title='Lub Dub Lub Dub'/><author><name>Crystal Horst</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16121693551795968692</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H4v-JtqeByY/TBjXmyzlkLI/AAAAAAAAABg/juq4jFotiSE/S220/DSC_6612.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gFWmJngv7fY/SXaMTSf8fDI/AAAAAAAABWE/qs3LbKhtjZ4/s72-c/baby2' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601196898927623528.post-2780572544615664835</id><published>2010-10-10T05:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-10T05:43:31.840-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Explosion on the Home Front</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;"&gt;I've been bursting at the seams LONGING to share the beautiful news that Jaron and I are expecting a little Horst Jr. come May!!

I'm 9 weeks along and very blessed to have life growing inside of me... My first appointment is October 25th and I'm looking forward to hearing my little one's heart beating out the cry that there is in fact life in my womb!! :) Rejoice with me on this glorious news!

Little to his brother's knowledge, we planned for a few weeks to surprise him for his birthday--August 2nd, and it certainly worked. He was so pleased to see us when we arrived...and a bit confused...lol. We all had such a fun time together for 3.5 days...walking around Madison, playing games, mini-golfing, eating out, eating in, eating.... lol. It was so nice to have us all together for the first time since December 2008. That's not to say that we haven't seen his parents or his brother since then...it's just not all at once. We had an amazing time altogether and I'll post some pictures from the weekend as soon as Jaron finishes editing the ones he took.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;Until then, here's some pictures that Jaron's mom took:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;

I came home last night to a neat surprise from Jaron.... a small note on the front doorknob..... he was sending me on a hunt which took me from one clue to another from the upstairs, to outdoors in our shed, to the basement, and back around and around again. Each place I was sent had another clue as to where to go next... I ended up getting a bag of Reese's (which is every girls' dream!) and a $10 bill to treat myself to dinner somewhere while he was gone at worship team practice. It may not seem like anything amazing to any of you, but for me it meant so much to know he had been thinking about me and planning this throughout the day for me as a way to release the tension I'd been experiencing. It worked. I found myself wondering what the next clue would lead me to in the house... I found myself laughing as the clues revealed inside jokes we share. It was a beautiful and meaningful gesture that helped me relax and leave work AT work.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;Sometimes it is the simple things that make the biggest difference in someone's life.

On Saturday, Jaron and I went out to see a movie with Jeff after which we joined a small group of 4d-ers at the Cline's house for their picnic. In the evening, we (along with many people we knew who went) watched the fireworks display at the Shillington Community Day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the thundering booms echoed across the park, I imagined what it must have been like to be at a battlefield with those deafening cracks jolting everyone as they exploded. I'm so proud to live in this country for the heritage that it has is one of strong people standing up for what they know is right and true. Granted that has not stayed the way it was first begun, but I still can't imagine being anywhere else.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs108.snc4/35775_536390647372_69100214_31695162_6897301_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="212" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs108.snc4/35775_536390647372_69100214_31695162_6897301_n.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunday, Jaron and I spent the afternoon at my parents and then the Brown's home for picnicking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs100.snc4/36339_536390926812_69100214_31695187_8190034_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="228" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs100.snc4/36339_536390926812_69100214_31695187_8190034_n.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monday was amazing day spent with just my best friend in Dorney Park. Jaron and I still managed to get toasty despite applying sunscreen. A lot of the day was spent in the water park due to the inferno-temperature records. We still had a great day together and it was well-worth it! An amazing weekend spent with so many friends making one memory after another. I love seeing how each week plays out and look forward to many more throughout the summer. &lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;Stay  cool everyone!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs088.snc4/35775_536390642382_69100214_31695161_4282661_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="255" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs088.snc4/35775_536390642382_69100214_31695161_4282661_n.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8601196898927623528-1645261730409735175?l=froggyundecidednew.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://froggyundecidednew.blogspot.com/feeds/1645261730409735175/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://froggyundecidednew.blogspot.com/2010/07/catching-up.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8601196898927623528/posts/default/1645261730409735175'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8601196898927623528/posts/default/1645261730409735175'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://froggyundecidednew.blogspot.com/2010/07/catching-up.html' title='Catching Up'/><author><name>Crystal Horst</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16121693551795968692</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H4v-JtqeByY/TBjXmyzlkLI/AAAAAAAAABg/juq4jFotiSE/S220/DSC_6612.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601196898927623528.post-1934013248127124895</id><published>2010-06-30T06:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-30T06:34:54.464-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Dreaming</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;So, you are probably  getting the drift that one of my biggest dreams is to be a mom. My heart  swells with the thought of someone growing inside of me for 9 months  and a smile always comes to my face when thinking about the beautiful  aspects of motherhood. People tell me to enjoy being in the season I am  currently living in (and I certainly am) and not wish for things to  change because it will happen when it happens and there will be no  turning back. Ok, please tell me I am not the only one with dreams and a  desire for some kind of change?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt; Certainly this will be the biggest change I will ever experience, but it will be so amazing and beautiful. Through being a mother, I will be experiences one season after another of my child(ren)'s life(lives) that I can not think of anything more exciting! So many future moms have such a negative aspect on motherhood that it saddens me to think that they are putting a dark cloud over a very remarkable time of their lives before even having the experience of it!&amp;nbsp; I know that I also need to be realistic and not just fanciful about the very serious side of motherhood, but that portion does not need to crush any and all joy in the different seasons! Infants will cause sleepless nights, toddlers will get into things and keep you on your toes, teenagers will drive you crazy... but it's going to be completely amazing too! I can't wait!! :-D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://tomyamfan.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/sweet_dreams_650.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="245" src="http://tomyamfan.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/sweet_dreams_650.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8601196898927623528-1934013248127124895?l=froggyundecidednew.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://froggyundecidednew.blogspot.com/feeds/1934013248127124895/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://froggyundecidednew.blogspot.com/2010/06/dreaming.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8601196898927623528/posts/default/1934013248127124895'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8601196898927623528/posts/default/1934013248127124895'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://froggyundecidednew.blogspot.com/2010/06/dreaming.html' title='Dreaming'/><author><name>Crystal Horst</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16121693551795968692</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H4v-JtqeByY/TBjXmyzlkLI/AAAAAAAAABg/juq4jFotiSE/S220/DSC_6612.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601196898927623528.post-6303596284849568458</id><published>2010-06-19T20:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-19T20:03:29.132-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Baby'/><title type='text'>Baby Talk</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H4v-JtqeByY/TB2EtxgdPfI/AAAAAAAAACA/eqgeJAAzBQY/s1600/baby-name.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H4v-JtqeByY/TB2EtxgdPfI/AAAAAAAAACA/eqgeJAAzBQY/s320/baby-name.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;Can't a girl just look forward to starting a family without people saying discouraging things like: "Well, if you think you're stressed now, just wait to you have kids--it'll be like all the time!" Really? No rewards? Just work, stress, work, stress....?? I have looked forward to starting a family for soooo many years and know how big a job it is going to be when God blesses Jaron and I in that area! I know it is not always going to be like looking through rose-colored glasses. I don't need to be reminded of how difficult it is going to be to raise children every time I open my mouth about the excitement I feel when I think about the future. I look forward to the blessing of having children and discouraging comments won't ever stifle that desire! :)&amp;nbsp; I try to see the glass half-full when I think about the fun aspects of motherhood: taking them to the park, watching them innocently fumble to learn the English language (that no one will ever master!), playing with them and their rubber duckies in the tub during bath time, reading them bedtime stories at night, singing them to sleep, joining them in coloring/play-do/painting, seeing them laugh for the first time, and so much more. I know it is going to be work, but it will be a lasting reward too! :)&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8601196898927623528-6303596284849568458?l=froggyundecidednew.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://froggyundecidednew.blogspot.com/feeds/6303596284849568458/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://froggyundecidednew.blogspot.com/2010/06/baby-talk.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8601196898927623528/posts/default/6303596284849568458'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8601196898927623528/posts/default/6303596284849568458'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://froggyundecidednew.blogspot.com/2010/06/baby-talk.html' title='Baby Talk'/><author><name>Crystal Horst</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16121693551795968692</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H4v-JtqeByY/TBjXmyzlkLI/AAAAAAAAABg/juq4jFotiSE/S220/DSC_6612.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H4v-JtqeByY/TB2EtxgdPfI/AAAAAAAAACA/eqgeJAAzBQY/s72-c/baby-name.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601196898927623528.post-2043038743437140002</id><published>2010-06-16T06:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-16T06:34:36.200-07:00</updated><title type='text'>This Love</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v573/64/3/69100214/n69100214_30997024_3311.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="212" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v573/64/3/69100214/n69100214_30997024_3311.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;Jaron and I will be married for two years already come August! It's amazing that the time has gone by as quickly as it has. The assumption is that the first five years of marriage are the hardest.... so far, not true in our case! We have so much fun and so much laughter in our relationship that when the "tough stuff" comes, we can lean on each other and God to get us through and the tension melts. We enjoy the simple things in life and don't have to go on trips to "make our marriage blossom". We enjoy things like going for walks in the cool of the night, walks in the park, sitting and watching movies/tv shows (on DVD), making dinner together, sitting and editing Jaron's pictures together, a cheap dinner at McDonalds/Taco Bell/etc, and the list goes on. Those are the things that bring us closer to each day by day. I love him more each day because he is not only my husband...he's my very best friend and closest confidant. Nothing will change that. Ever. When we start a family, sure that will bring stress/tension but with the love we share, we will become closer through those times (and we'll have cute kids to show for it!). :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;Love you, Jaron-- you're the best!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;Honeymoon 2008 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It struck me that come December there will be a new addition to our loud and rowdy crew. What fun! I love my family (and additions that Ginny and I have added to it with our husbands) and it makes for such a great time when we're all together. Family is so important and just adds so much love and laughter to our lives. Take time to thank God for your families today! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;~FroggyC&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8601196898927623528-991931968476809043?l=froggyundecidednew.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://froggyundecidednew.blogspot.com/feeds/991931968476809043/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://froggyundecidednew.blogspot.com/2010/06/sunday-afternoon.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8601196898927623528/posts/default/991931968476809043'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8601196898927623528/posts/default/991931968476809043'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://froggyundecidednew.blogspot.com/2010/06/sunday-afternoon.html' title='Sunday Afternoon'/><author><name>Crystal Horst</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16121693551795968692</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H4v-JtqeByY/TBjXmyzlkLI/AAAAAAAAABg/juq4jFotiSE/S220/DSC_6612.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601196898927623528.post-1272361740622600589</id><published>2009-12-15T08:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-15T08:08:46.201-08:00</updated><title type='text'>"The Lord is My Shepherd"</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.meridianmagazine.com/arts/images/good_shepherd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="253" src="http://www.meridianmagazine.com/arts/images/good_shepherd.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;Currently, thanks to my neighbors, I'm reading a neat book that goes into amazing detail &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;about the 23rd Psalm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt; (from an actual shepherd's view). The author writes with deep knowledge about sheep and how the 23rd Psalm talks about the simple life and circumstances of a shepherd with his flock. He then shows the similarities of actual sheep/shepherds to the relationship we hold with our Father in Heaven (our Good Shepherd).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;I'm keeping a journal of passages in his book that really strike me in a whole new light and thought it would be fun to share them with you and allow you to have a whole new outlook on the frequently-read 23rd Psalm.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;Breaking it down, day-by-day, the first line in the Psalm: "The Lord is our Shepherd" is so often overlooked and pushed past as one hurries through the rest of the passage. The line though, the author went into detail about and some of the things that stood out to me:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;point 1: "There's a profound yet practical working relationship between a human being and his make--his owner--his manager." When we think of God being our "owner" many people gasp and shake their heads, hating the fact that God would claim "ownership" over our lives when in fact He made us with a "free will."&amp;nbsp; The author states boldly: "He has the RIGHT to be our owner...He made us...died for us...and continually lays down His life for us." (Just as a shepherd to his flock)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;point 2: "We (humans) are like sheep--we have a mass mind (mob instinct), fears and timidities, and stubborn, stupid, perverse habits." Our biggest fears come from the unknown, the future, the circumstances that we cannot control.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;point 3: "Not only is God gentle and tender and true, but also righteous, stern as steel, and terribly tough on phony people... He comes to set men free from their OWN sins, their OWN selves, and their OWN fears." Think about it: actual shepherds, when discovering certain ewes (female sheep) wandering and causing discontentment among the other sheep in the flock, will have to take those sheep out of the flock. Also, if certain sheep continually wander off and get lost, the shepherd goes after them, breaks their legs, and as the lamp/sheep heals, they learn to stay by the shepherd and never wander again. Sound familiar to how God treats those of us who wander? He brings us to our knees and we find ourselves helpless without our Good Shepherd.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;point 4: "There is a distinct 'mark' (just as new sheep to a flock are branded with the seal of the shepherd) upon the man/woman that differentiates him/herself from the rest of the crowd... A person exchanges the fickle fortunes of living life by sheer whimpsy for the more productive and satisfying adventure or being guided by God." We need to realize that there is a price to following Christ: we need to forfeit our own fickle and foolish ways of life! We can't have it both ways! Either we belong to the Good Shepherd or we don't!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;Questions that the author closed out the chapter with included:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;~Do I really belong to Him?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;~Do I really recognize His right to me?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;~Do I respond to His authority and acknowledge His ownership?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;~Do I find freedom and complete fulfillment in this arrangement?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;~Do I sense a purpose and deep contentment because I'm under His direction?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;~Do I know rest and repose, besides a definite sense of exciting adventure, in belonging to Him?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;If so, then exclaim proudly:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;"The LORD IS my Shepherd!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;

As long&lt;br /&gt;as we try to serve two ends, ourselves and God, there is perplexity.&lt;br /&gt;The attitude must be one of complete reliance on God. When once we&lt;br /&gt;get there, there is nothing easier than living the saintly life;&lt;br /&gt;difficulty comes in when we want to usurp the authority of the Holy&lt;br /&gt;Spirit for our own ends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whenever you obey God, His seal is always that of peace, the witness&lt;br /&gt;of an unfathomable peace, which is not natural, but the peace of&lt;br /&gt;Jesus. Whenever peace does not come, tarry till it does or find out&lt;br /&gt;the reason why it does not. If you are acting on an impulse, or from&lt;br /&gt;a sense of the heroic, the peace of Jesus will not witness; there is&lt;br /&gt;no simplicity or confidence in God, because the spirit of simplicity&lt;br /&gt;is born of the Holy Ghost, not of your decisions. Every decision&lt;br /&gt;brings a reaction of simplicity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My questions come whenever I cease to obey. When I have obeyed God,&lt;br /&gt;the problems never come between me and God, they come as probes to&lt;br /&gt;keep the mind going on with amazement at the revelation of God. Any&lt;br /&gt;problem that comes between God and myself springs out of&lt;br /&gt;disobedience; any problem, and there are many, that is alongside me&lt;br /&gt;while I obey God, increases my ecstatic delight, because I know that&lt;br /&gt;my Father knows, and I am going to watch and see how He unravels this&lt;br /&gt;thing."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8601196898927623528-717235975630597743?l=froggyundecidednew.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://froggyundecidednew.blogspot.com/feeds/717235975630597743/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://froggyundecidednew.blogspot.com/2009/12/todays-utmost-for-his-highest.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8601196898927623528/posts/default/717235975630597743'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8601196898927623528/posts/default/717235975630597743'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://froggyundecidednew.blogspot.com/2009/12/todays-utmost-for-his-highest.html' title='Today&apos;s Utmost for His Highest'/><author><name>Crystal Horst</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16121693551795968692</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H4v-JtqeByY/TBjXmyzlkLI/AAAAAAAAABg/juq4jFotiSE/S220/DSC_6612.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601196898927623528.post-5777899284854761479</id><published>2009-12-10T08:11:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-10T08:14:19.097-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Seven Secrets of stress management (By Rick Warren)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="color: black; font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wolfescape.com/Humour/NonMedThumbs/Stress-ZebraStripes.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.wolfescape.com/Humour/NonMedThumbs/Stress-ZebraStripes.gif" width="256" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;I read an article/devotional by Rick Warren and wanted to share it since I know this topic is one that everyone deals with through life.

Jesus Christ experienced enormous stress and pressure, yet it didn't seem to disturb his peace of mind.

There was no doubt in his mind as to who he was. If you’re unsure of your identity, you'll allow others to pressure you into their molds. Trying to be someone you're not causes stress!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dedication: &lt;/b&gt;Know who you want to please (John 5:30) - You can't please everyone. Even God can't! Just about the time you get Crowd A happy, Crowd B will get upset with you. Jesus never let the fear of rejection manipulate him. No one can pressure you without your permission.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Organization:&lt;/b&gt; Set clear goals (John 8:14) - Jesus said, "I know where I came from and where I am going." Preparation prevents pressure but procrastination produces it. You work by either priorities or pressures.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Concentration: Focus on one thing at a time (Luke 4:42-44) - You can't chase two rabbits at the same time! Jesus knew how to handle interruptions without being distracted from his primary goal. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Delegation:&lt;/b&gt; Don’t try to do everything yourself (Mark 3:14) - We get tense when we feel it all depends on us. Jesus enlisted 12 disciples. Don't allow perfectionism, or the fear that others may do a better job, keep you from involving others in the task.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Meditation:&lt;/b&gt; Make a habit of prayer (Mark 1:35) - No matter how busy Jesus got, he found time to get alone to pray everyday. A daily "Quiet Time" is a great stress decompression chamber. Use this time to talk to God about your pressures and problems, evaluate your priorities, and discover the rules for successful living by reading the Bible. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Relaxation:&lt;/b&gt; Take time to enjoy life (Mark 6:30-31) - Balance is the key to stress management. Work must be balanced with fun and worship.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 78%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Prayer:&lt;/b&gt; Ask God to strengthen you and teach you to handle the stresses that come your way.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Point to ponder:&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;Stress is inevitable – but you can still have peace of mind.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Verse: “Then Jesus said, ‘Let's get away from the crowds for a while and rest.’ There were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn't even have time to eat.” (Mark 6:31, NLT)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;What will you do about it: For the next week, concentrate on this list of seven stress-busters.
