Doing the splits part two!

So in the beginning I really was not a fan of the split shift, but I am starting to turn the corner on the issue.  I work in the morning, grab a coffee before taking the bus back home, get to play with my son and relax for about 3 hours, and then go back to work for the rest of the day.  It is actually kind of nice.  By the time I get that "wow is work over yet?" feeling it really is almost over!  It is like I get a 3 hour lunch break, and who doesn't love an extra long lunch break.  The week seems to go by pretty quickly too.  I can't believe that it is already Thursday.  Another week is almost down, and I have now worked a month.  I guess it is mostly about finding a routine that makes work difficult, but now I have found it as well as a satisfaction with the splits.  Has anyone seen Star Spangled Rhythm?  I am feeling the need burst into song "On the line with my baby on the [split] shift. Life's just fine with my baby on the [split] shift."  Please take note that the brackets mark a slight word replacement. By the way my son continues to enjoy the fruits of my split, and he is very happy.  Have a blessed day everyone.  I've got to get myself a split, banana that is. All this split talk has made me hungry.

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...
