Seven months

Bubba Boy is seven months today.

Wow what an adventure you have already sent us on.

Loving you more and more everyday.

So excited to see you discovering the world around you.

Battles of the Smalls

For someone like myself who struggles with not being in control, certain situations can drive me crazy.

Trying to get my kids to sleep and eat has been one of the hardest things in my short years of parenting.
All that I have tried has failed.
No amount of threats, bribery, yelling has made any difference.

Any suggestions on what has worked for you?????

Overwhelmed

It's so easy to get overwhelmed when looking around at all the things that need doing in our lives, in our world.

Around the globe there are so many horrible unthinkable things occurring to innocent people.
Our earth is groaning under the impact of being badly treated by us humans.
Governments are not as they should be.
But some how today the mere thought of trying to get my house in any form of order has been slumped on the stairs in a wallow of self-pity.
What's wrong with this picture????
Somehow I manage to get to this point a lot, whining on the phone to the hubby on how hard it all is and how I'm not sure I can cope.
Shallow!
Don't get me wrong it IS hard being a mother, wife, homemarker along with all the other 'hats' that fit these roles.
Though in the light of eternity and all that goes on around us, is it really that bad.

Trying to challenge myself to think more outside my pity party of one.

Be Prepared

Therefore put on the full armour of God,

So that when the day of evil comes, 

you may be able to stand your ground,

and after you have done everything, to stand.

Stand firm then,

with the belt of truth buckled around your waist,

with the breastplate of righteousness in place,

stand with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

In addition to all this, 

take up the shield of faith, 

with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, 

which is the word of God.

Ephesians 6:10-17

Time for Something New

It was time for something new on here.
maybe to give it more life,
I'm not too sure.

I'm playing around with a few different things along the way.
This name has been on my heart for a while.
It depicts how I see myself and my three sons.
I am their Mumma and by golly I would do whatever it took to protect them.
They are my cubs and its my responsibility to raise them up to be
Strong, Brave, Courageous men of God.
Hunters of the lost souls
Rescuers of the Broken and down cast.

This will continue to be my journey and now theirs too.
The journey and road is long and sometimes extremely tough.
Along the way and when we finally reach the end its nice to look back
and see how far we have come.
Our wins, our character strengtheners.
This will be our reminder.

I hope you continue down the narrow, winding, grace filled track with us.
We do love having you here.
