Energy...

Where does it go?? I don't sleep well so I know that is part of it but I cannot make myself get up early...I want to get up and exercise but I will sleep for 2 more minutes if it means I get to "sleep" a little longer...I mean does 20 minutes really make a difference in sleep?

I have so many goals but nothing gets accomplished because I never have energy...I literally "slept" all Sunday from exhaustion.  My little 3 year old entertained himself all day and that's not fair to him.

On a positive note...I found a life group at church and I am so excited to get involved with my church family again!

Snags are good!

Kendall had his first dentist appointment today...I was a little confused why he was so scared because I have never told him anything about a dentist.  To my knowledge, he had never seen anything on tv or heard anyone talk about the dentist.

Well, we made it back to the room and he pointed to the bowl and said "what's this"?  I told him that is the bowl that he spits in when he finishes getting his teeth brushed.  He then said, "like nemo"? Ah!!! It hit me then that he was scared of the dentist because of the movie Nemo!

Who wouldn't be scared of the dentist after watching this scene!! But, he survived and the dentist said his teeth were PERFECT!!!

He said to keep doing whatever we were doing!!!

I love hearing that...I was a little nervous because we both have a sweet tooth!!

No Left Turn

So I had just sent out my morning text yesterday say claiming that it WAS going to be another FABULOUS DAY!

I'm at the end of the bridge about 3 minutes until 8 o clock.  I will be on time...well I would have been on time.  I even took a short cut at the end of the bridge where it clearly stated on a sign...NO LEFT HAND TURN! Well, I did it any way.  I know...such a rebel!

And as soon as I did...I notice this cute little cop car.  I think to myself...really??

I park my truck knowing that the cop has already gotten out of his cop car...and I just act like I'm going to get my stuff and walk towards my work...oh no...Mr. Popo says can I see your license?? I look at him and say "you've got to be kidding me?" He says...well no.  So I before I get my license I told him I had to call my work before I got fired...so I called my supervisor and told her that I was in the parking lot however I would be late because I was standing next to a cop because I took a left at the bride.  Well, he then asks me for my insurance cards...Well being that I grew up with an insurance agent dad...of course I would have my cards...or not!!!

So I call my insurance company (my uncle) and GUESS WHAT? Their computers are down...he said so you have no cards...I said exactly! As he was getting someone to run my plates I found my cards...he looked at my license and my insurance card and THANK GOD ...he said he was going to let me off with a warning!!!

Well, at 8:05 I was at my desk...TICKET FREE...

see, it was another FABULOUS DAY!!!

Pointless blog...yes, but so news worthy!

Randomness...

Text - I'm obsessed with text messaging!

I send out text messages almost every morning to my friends to encourage them and today my text said that's it's going to be a great day-expect nothing less!!

Well, what a great day it has been...

God came thru for me financially...

I got my computer guru friend to "FIND" my pictures that had disappeared

and I was surprised to receive a call from a friend that she is bringing over one of these...

How awesome is that??

I was going to post about cooking and more not-so-important topics but then my little boy came up to me and asked me to cut something off his toe nail and as I was getting my toe nail clippers out I just stared at him...in awe of him...in awe of how much I love him...I can not put into words how much this little boy means to me...I don't think the word love can be defined but I really think my heart smiles when I see him...I want to do everything within me to raise him as a child of God and to protect him to make sure that he never gets hurt.  He is my heart...my life...and the reason I wake every morning with a smile on my face...God has blessed me beyond measure and I thank Him every single day for a beautiful, healthy baby boy!! When His scripture states...ask and you shall receive...I literally got what I wanted...a boy!!

Thank you Jesus for your perfect little miracle in my life!!

Now to set goals for tomorrow---

#1. to get up early and read my Bible

#2. to utilize my new "bike"

I think that's enough goals for the day and then church tomorrow night!!

Just another manic Monday...

Well, I actually didn't have a manic Monday...

Nothing exciting happened today but my computer has absolutely none of my pictures on it any more!!

System restore did not work!!!

More to come when I can find my pictures...God is good...all the time!!

He is always on time...right on time!! I put my trust in Him and claim victory in Jesus name over those that I love-God is going to move in a mighty way! I cannot wait to see His works revealed!

More than half way there...and a question!

Wow...this year has flown by too fast!! I can not believe that it's August and we are close to school starting and FOOTBALL!!  Though I don't have a little football player yet, I love watching it!

 That's my little football star!

Food for Thought

This past Wednesday at church, our service was lead by the youth! Wow, it felt like old times!! God's presence was like a fog...you could not help but feel it whether you wanted to or not! The worship was lead by the youth and it was genuine! They wanted to let God lead them instead of entertaining the "crowd".  The youth pastor spoke and played a video of an atheist-Penn Jillette.  He is a well-known comedian and after one of his shows, he was approached by a christian.  He told the story and seemed as if he was almost moved to tears.  He said this guy was real.  He was honest.  He was sincere and this guy spoke of his faith.  He was reaching out to a vocal atheist because of the God he believes in and wanted to share.  The atheist stated that he had no respect for Christians that did not proselytize (spread the good word of what we believe-basically) He asked the question-How much do you have to hate someone not to share with them about your faith?  If there truly is a heaven and hell, how much do we have to hate someone not to tell them about our God and His saving grace?  He blogged a video blog after his show...I recommend everyone to youtube it.

Wow!!! Powerful words...it was a great service that I needed! I had a rough 24 hours but thank God that I can put all of my trust in God and know that all things will work for the good!

I put my trust in Him!!
