Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, my Strength and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14

Asking for Help

I'm having some trouble girls!  I don't know what has happened to me and I can't seem to shake it!
I have no ambition to do anything.  I feel so tired and lazy and uninspired!  I haven't wanted to blog, meal plan, grocery shop, cook, clean, organize, play, pray, study....and the list goes on and on and on.  I get up in the morning and think okay, today is the day.  I'm gonna get this house in order and feed my family a nutritious meal, play with Arrow, love on my husband and get organized and re-energized.  Then suddenly, it's evening again and I literally have done nothing.  And the heavy guilt sets in!  I'm in a vicious cycle and I can't break free.  I have prayed about it, but I think that I am too lazy to listen for His voice!

I have so much that needs done and the only thing that I want to do is turn away from it all and pretend it's not waiting for me.  Ever since we came down with that cold bug, I have been a sack of lazy bones!

What can I do?  Does anyone have any encouragement for a momma that feels down and out?  I need some fresh inspiration to mix things up a bit. 

Please, any ideas would be appreciated!  I want to lay down at night and know that I will have a blessed sleep that God promises to those of us who earn it!

Blessings to you all...

A little of this and that...

Hello Everyone!  I am here to announce that I think, the sick bug has finally started moving out!  We are up and moving around...of course mama did that almost the whole time.  Funny how the world doesn't stop turning when mama's sick!  However, since I was slow moving...my home shows it! :-D  I have got to catch up around here...and fast!  My brother is moving down here soon and we are not ready yet!  He will be moving in with us for a little while, until we get life panned out and he gets up on his feet.

On another note...2 days ago was me and my husband's 8 year anniversary!  Eight years...eight incredible years!  We spent the day together...alone...and it was glorious!  We are planning a 1 night get-away next week sometime and I am looking forward to that!  When I look back on the last 8 years, all I can do is smile and thank God for His continued blessings on our marriage.  I never could have imagined such happiness and as I learn more about God's view on marriage and family and submission, it only gets better.  I love you so much honey!  The husband and father that you are can't compare with anyone!  Here's to another 8 years!  And then another 8 years...and another and another and another!

I have a prayer request...
We have alot of changes coming...and to tell you the truth, I am really scared.  I know to take it to Jesus' feet, I just need to remember to do that!  I don't have to carry this load...

Well, I have a ton to do around here today to try to get caught up, so....

Blessings to you all....

We Got the Bug!

Oh my, it has been so long since I last posted!  We have had quite a week!  Last Thursday we were on our way to my dear friends house to help finish up packing their home.  Well, my little guy started throwing up on the way there!  Poor little guy!  That didn't last very long....about a day, but then the "cold" bug hit!  And hit with a vengeance!  My little boy has NEVER had a fever in his 5 years of life!  He's also never had an ear infection, or ear pain at all!  Well, this bug really got him!  He has been feverish all week and last night he cried because of ear pain!  I know it truly is bad!  He's had it for a week, my dad has had it for a week and I woke up this morning with it!  Ugh!  But God is here and His healing is in this house! :-)

On another note...this past week I have spent much of my time with my friend Kathy, from Perfectly Imperfect!  We spent time moving her and her family and have spent the rest of the time unpacking and grocery shopping and spending alot of time LAUGHING!  I love that woman! :-)

We will be resting most of the day, and trying to enjoy the down time!  I will post again when we are on the mend!

Blessings...
