30th day of thanksgiving

I have to say I have had a great month of reflection. I am thankful that I took the time and effort to be thankful. Sometimes it's too easy to get caught up in the hussle and bussle of day to day life and forget to stop and thank God for what we have instead of begging for what we don't have.

Precious Lord Jesus.....
Thank you does not even begin to explain my graditude for all that you have given.
ALways more than I deserve, but always exactly what I need.
The words to a song have been my prayer the last few days...
"Open up the sky and pour down like rain. We don't want blessings, we want You.
Open up the sky and pour down like fire. We don't want anything but You."
I am so excited to be a part of the wonderful move of God through this city.
Thank you for using little ol' me.
I love you!!
Amen.

Don't be afraid

The last 3 days I have been in retail hell.....and loving every minute of it!!

I am so excited that people have quit listening to the media, and loosened up a little bit.
People are out spending money and buying the things they need and want.

We had a jam packed weekend at the furniture store...and I met a lot of really nice people too. Added bonus!!

I love being around people....and finding out where they came from, and who they are....it is always intriguing to me.

All I can say is I am so tired.....I'll be glad to get back to normal this week.

Thankful Thursday...a few hours late

All I can say for today is I am thankful for the time God has given me.

Time with my husband.

Time with my girls.

Time to be the kind of wife and mother I should be.

Thank you God for more time.

I love a clean house...I love pinesol, and I love clorox wipes, and I love febreeze.

I just wish I was home more to be able to keep the house the way I like it. But when I get home I am so wiped out, I don't feel like cleaning.

WAIT A MINUTE...Stop the train!! I went from a thankful heart to a complaint in a second flat. I should be thankful that I even have a job right now, there are a lot of people who don't.

So back to my original thought....I love clorox wipes & pinesol & febreeze. They make me happy!!

Sleepin' In.....

Tomorrow morning is going to be the best morning I've had in a long time...I am claiming it in advance.

No alarms clocks going off.....no one has to be anywhere at a particular time....
And Tyler is finally at the point that if she does wake up before me she just goes into the living room and turns on the TV then gets a bowl of cereal.

Tyler is my oldest, she is now 10yrs old. I have wondered for years at what point would she go from being a young wild and crazy early bird to a pre-teen who I can't drag out of bed in the morning. When I wake her up at 630 to get ready for school...usually she pops right up and hits the ground running. Well...this past Monday morning, she growled, rolled over and says "just 10 more minutes mom." YEEHAW...We're there!!!

So tomorrow morning....John better get ready, we are going stay in bed as long as possible and just snuggle!! Its gonna be the best day ever!!! I can't wait.

New traditions

Tonight I went to Ingles and spent 60 blessed dollars on food to cook on Thursday. And I am so excited!!

This is the first year in my snuggly little family's history that we are having Thanksgiving dinner at home with just the 5 of us. And I think it will be amazing! God is starting a work in this little family....and I am so excited to be a part of it.

My momma don't know yet....so pray for me at about 830 in the morning when I tell her on the way to work. But I decided no matter how she feels....this is what's right for us! And that's all I need to worry about right now.

I love Sundays!!

I love Sundays for so many reasons!!!

Sleep in a little....yeehaw!

Church at Breakthrough....amazing!!

Lunch with the family...always good!

And today I even got a little me time....went to the movies alone!!

I love Sundays!!
