My Baby Has Taken Over The House!

...At least in the spacial sense. I was going through all of my son's baby clothes and equipment to see what I could put in a family member's yard sale, and I almost has some sort of attack. I had two highchairs, one booster seat, three baby swings, two exercaucers, one bouncy seat, two play pins, and a mountain of clothes some of which were too big while others were too small. I get a hear ache just thinking about it now. I got some of his things over to the yard sale with some of my clothes that I thought I couldn't use, and waited for the good news. As it turns out only one of the items sold in the one day sale, and everything else came back to me. On top of this I ended up with some extra things because my son's father brought over some more toys for his birthday! I tried to get rid of a couple of things and ended up with more than I started with.

All of this equipment has taken over the house, and I am now living in a playhouse with a few of my things in it. I have been generous in the past and I know that the Bible says, give and it shall be given unto you pressed down shaken together and running over. My house is now literally running over with baby stuff. It is a wonderful problem to have, and I love organizing things so it has become an ongoing project to see how well I can pack my house. However, in the mean time I am sitting at my computer staring at a swing, a bouncy seat, an exercaucer, and a crib. Let the games begin.

5 things that could keep you from getting so angry

So I find that there are certain things that when done make for a much better day than when I don't do them.  As a single mom sometimes it gets hard to do these and then everything seems to be a bigger ordeal for me. Lord help me to do better with that.  I would tell you don't judge me, but I know you are going to do it anyway so I will say please be gracious toward me.  1.  Start the snowball of positive thinking : For me this means prayers of thanks, reading my Bible, listening to positive music, writing a letter to God or to myself, even watching some Veggie Tales (what do you know about those Veggies?)  with my son sometimes.   The reality is there is enough negative that comes at me; why would I invite anything other than a flood of positive truth into my mind and my life? This is the day that the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it...or else!!!  haha just kidding (sort of) 2.  Wash up!: Remember when I said be gracious?...

Mr. Sandman Where are you?

I was told that by 6 months old or so my son should be effectively sleeping through the night. Well, Tomorrow is his first birthday and he has already woken up twice...make that three times because he woke up while I was writing this! I really miss sleeping and I want my little one to get sleep too. He wakes up every two or three hours to nurse. I try to get him to go back to sleep, but a baby who is standing up and pulling on the side of his crib isn't going back to sleep easily. I sing, swing, shush , and attempt to swaddle, but he won't have any of it. Sometimes I let him cry his way back to sleep, but it only last for about a half hour before he reawakens more determined than before. The screaming wears on my nerves and the lack of sleep is wearing on my days. Some days I think "This is it. This is my life now. I will never feel rested again, and I will never be fully alert again." I expected to lose sleep when I found out I was pregnant. I expected to be tired, b...

I have a dream

I used to dream all the time that I was witnessing to people.  People would ask me questions and I would begin to speak about the goodness of the Lord, and how Jesus was the solution to all of their problems or desires.  I feel anointed to be having those dreams again.  Maybe someone needs these words.  I talk about my journey of faith, but maybe you haven't begun that journey yet so let me tell you about Jesus.  Jesus is the Christ, the savior of the world, the messiah, the only begotten son of God.  Jesus is God in humanity. He came down to earth, lived a human life, did miraculous things to show people who he was and how much he loved them.  Jesus felt every human emotion that any of us have ever felt. Jesus taught us how to live as people of God.  Then he died so that we wouldn't have to be separated from him anymore.   You see sin separates us from God because he is holy.  We all have sinned therefore we all should be separated fro...
