Enjoy the day

I went to register the kids for school today. What a bittersweet moment. I am ready to get back on a regular schedule, but I am tired of my babies growing up so fast. I feel like we rush through every day, anticipating what is coming next. We all need to slow down and enjoy the day we are given. I am just as guilt as the next person, wishing away my life. I love a countdown. Especially one leading to a vacation.

My husband and I were looking through some old pictures on the computer from when our oldest was about 2 or 3. I don't even remember taking some of the pictures! It's really sad. I feel like my brain is skipping the little things and only remembering the big things. I am always telling everyone to embace today because none of us are promised tomorrow.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go, I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.            Psalm 32:8

Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight        Psalm 119:35

That is the message my daily devotional gave me today. I got my devotional book around Christmas time. I had never had one before. I have done pretty good reading it just about every day this year. And every day it seems to tell me just what I need to read. It's amazing what God puts in our paths at just the right times. It is just a reminder of how awesome our God really is!!

Good Morning

As I am lying in my bed this morning, a little awake, but mostly still asleep, I hear a scream come from the living room. "MOMMA!!!! COME IN HERE!!!!!" I jump out of bed, about breaking my back, and sprint into the living room. All I can think is the worst. Is someone in the house?! Is the house on fire?! Brayden! Momma's coming! As I make the long 15 foot sprint into the room, I see him lying on the couch, pillow under his head and blanket over his little body. "What?! What is it, honey?!" I say a tiny bit out of breathe, which is extremely sad! "I'm hungry" he says, as nonchalantly as possible. Geez!

I get my over-anxious-oh-my-goodness-the-worst-is-about-to-happen-ness from my mom. She freaks out if you gasp about anything. How does one get over this?

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.      Philippians 4:6-7

I know prayer won't stop me from jumping up and thinking the worst when I hear one of my kids scream, but it will help ease my mind to know that we are being protected by our God.

On a side note: I was told last night that my boss/friend's car was stolen from her driveway Sunday morning. Luckily, her and her family were not harmed. I pray that they find peace and are protected during this trying time. Also, a regular at work who is really a great friend to my family, was injured in a fall Saturday night. I pray that she heals quickly.

Let's do this!

I decided I needed to start a blog, along with everyone else in the world. I have lots of thoughts everyday and I need to share them with whoever would like to read them. First, a little about myself: I am married to my wonderful husband, Steven, we have 3 very energetic children, Taytum, Brayden, and Mason, and we have a crazy dog named Daisy. Everyday is an adventure with our family. You never know what one of the kids will say or do. But they keep us young.
I am a typical girl in that I like everything that is pink or sparkles. I also love baseball. Go Braves!!
You will learn more about all of us as the days pass. I look forward to sharing our stories.

May God bless you in all you do!
