Something in the water

-
On October 12th some of our family filled the church pews to see Bradley get baptized. It was such a blessing!! Owen kept saying "My daddy is going to get wet" Our prayers were being answered one by one. Things continued going great!! Bradley & I were making time for dates and also time for family outings. We don't argue or fight. I'm very independent (or at least I try to think that I am) but It was the little things that I was starting to see like instead of me asking Bradley to cut the plastic away from my new phone case so I can get it out, he got it out for me; or me carrying a heavy bag he would get it from me and carry it. Where had this caring and compassionate man been??

Motherhood is a balance of holding on & letting go.

Tomorrow is my LAST Friday to spend with my son before he  starts Kindergarten next week. Every Friday since he has been born we have spent together. That's about 240 Friday's that have always been our day- whether  it was being lazy or staying busy all day we were always together.  I knew this day was coming & I have dreaded it from day one. It seems just like yesterday we were bringing Owen home from the hospital- First time parents, having no clue what to do or where to even start. And now we are getting ready to send him to Kindergarten.  How does time go by so fast? I am amazed at the young man Owen has grown into. I may be a little biased but he is the smarted, most handsome, funniest little boy. He strives to make someone laugh. He has the biggest heart & loves Jesus to the moon & back 250 times. Tomorrow I am spending every minute doing what Owen wants to do & cherishing my last Friday with him because time is going by so fast & just li...

Pray. Wait. Trust.

We have all heard it--  Pray. Wait. Trust. Much easier said than done, right?  It's easy to pray but when you talk about waiting and trusting that's a little harder. Especially if it's not in "our" timeline. For the past year & a half I have prayed for a job closer to my family (I drive 35 mins to work each day) I tried waiting & trusting. Then I tried putting it back in my own hands. (That didn't work!!) Finally, I prayed and trusted that when the time was right God would send something my way. Before Christmas break I was offered a job 25 mins closer to home. I was unsure at first what to do & if this was God's will or if this was my doings. I prayed more & I decided to take the job.  January 3rd was my first day. I walked in the office & went to my room and one of the first things I noticed was my mouse pad. It said " Faith, nothing shall be impossible for you Matthew 17:20"  Leaving my previous job was hard because o...

Being Joyful

-
Tonight my devotion was on Joy, which was very fitting. Here lately I have prayed that God would help me find the JOY  in all things.  It's very easy for something to go wrong & then the pity party starts. Car trouble, problem at work, all kinds of daily struggles that deplete us. Our minds quickly start focusing on all the bad & forget all the good. God's love is endless. He is always there for us, No Matter What!!  Once we begin to follow God & trust in him, he will help us get through any storm and will help us  find Joy. Today I am thankful for the Joy I feel & I pray God surrounds me with it, fills me with it & helps me share it with others.  The lord your God will bless you in your harvest and in all the work of your hands, and your joy will be complete. Deuteronomy 16:15  -Kymberly
