So blessed

Wow I don't post for over a month and now three times in one day. My husband read my blog and while I was at a meeting tonight made this picture. I had to share it with you. It's so awesome to look at for me. So I can officially say that this is our family picture. It will grow and change but for now it's complete and this is a picture from now so it's good.

God is so good He blesses us all in unique ways that speak straight to our soul and changes us from the inside out. If we let Him........ He will do it everyday. You would think that I would let Him after days like today but like many others I let my agenda get in the way of His best.

Thank you God for Naitile and for the blessings that you have for me now. God grant me and the others reading this strength and wisdom to stop and see the blessings that You have given us today. Don't let us look so far ahead that we miss You today. Amen

Oh my look at this pic

Makes my heart warm!

Sweet Dream

I had a very sweet dream last night. I was holding Naitile in my arms and had my hand on her face. When I woke up this morning my hands were in that position. I know I am being a little weird but I feel more in love with her today. I can not wait to have Naitile home.

We had family pictures done at the pictures at the park fundraiser. Which by the way was not as painful as I thought it was going to be (Thanks to Todd). But I hate getting pictures done. Anyway my mother wanted pictures of each of us (me and my two brothers) with our families. So my brother Mark was first with his wife Carrie and my two cute nieces and then my brother Scott was next with his wife Kristi and their two sons. So then she wanted a picture of Jarod and I and something in me was like "no" because we are all not here. Now I will have to admit that part of that was the fact I hate getting my picture taken. But another part of me was I don't want to not have Naitile not in it. So for now lets take our family picture in Haiti and put that on the wall until she can come home...........................................................I would be happy with that.

I pray Naitile knows that she has parents that love her!

So here is our unfinished family photo but soon it will.............Wait actually no it will not be finished because Naitile will be always growing and we are always changing. So really this is our family photo for now but it will not be this way for long!

I think sometimes we get so busy in the future we don't take time to be thankful for the blessings of God now. For example that I have two Parents that are alive to take pictures with and two brothers with families to laugh with. Wow we serve a good God

Take time today to stop and be thankful for the blessings that God has for you today. Trust me they are there.

Please be careful

PLEASE BE CAREFUL I am reminded today to be careful. Please be careful I hear in my head and my spirit. Be careful of how you look at thingsBe careful how you see thingsBe careful how you look at othersBe careful of what you think of othersBe careful of not making room for a "but God" momentLife is too short to read into things and people. I am reminded that the very thing I hate about women is the very thing that slips into my daily actions. I hear the cry "Be careful" echoing in my heart."Watch out" and "Danger" is what the signs would say if we were in a park. Unfortunately life does not have those physical signs to hit us in the head but God and the Holyspirit is crying loud please stop and be careful.Why do we still play high school games in the church and we are all suppose to be grown. Why must we look at others. Why must we constantly have to be worried or at least aware of what others might think........................The question that we must ask ourselves is our way really the only way? Oh I hear the cry please please be careful because as soon as we look at ourselves and grade others by yourself then we are only looking in a mirror and not able to see.Could you imagine driving down a busy road only looking at a mirror at yourself. Wow what a wreck that would but yet I warn and caution you that many are living their lives this way. Awake Listen and Stand on the only truth the holy word of God and Please be careful.___________________________________________________________________I am trying to be careful and trying to listen to God. Most of all I am trying to listen to God and not to the others that are thinking that they see me right! Come on my friends do you really think you know me that well? Do I know you that well where I have you pinned down? Don't mistake God's voice and mine? He is really the only one that knows us!I love you my friends and thank you for all the help and support but please be careful. Trust me the cry is for me too and I am trying to be careful.
