It's time for some changes around here.
Life changes
Blog changes
Attitude changes
So much lately has me thinking that change is desperately needed for a better life to be lived.
Change is good for the soul.
A little stretching of the soul.

We're all in this together....
Keep a cool head. Stay alert.
The Devil is poised to pounce, and would like nothing better than to catch you napping.
Keep your guard up.
You're not the only ones plunged into these hard times.
It's the same with Christians all over the world.
So keep a firm grip on the Faith.
The suffering won't last forever.
It won't be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ - eternal and glorious plans they are! - will have you put together and on your feet for good.
He gets the last word; yes, he does.
(1 Peter 5:8-11 MSG)
A wake up call and a beautiful promise for such a difficult season.

No place I'd rather be..
Here is where he wants to be today
So there's no place I'd rather be.
Before I know it I'll blink and he'll be moving out of home.
Cherishing these sweets moments of just him and me.

Enjoy Your Life
I have been reading a new devotional called 'Starting Your Day Right' by Joyce Meyer.
This mornings reading was such a wake up call to me.
I wanted to share with you.
Whatever may be your task, work at it heartily (from the soul),
as [something done] for the Lord and not for men,
knowing [with all certainty] that it is
from the Lord [and not from men] that you will
receive the inheritance which is your [real] reward.

Colossians 3:23-24
Jesus died so that you can enjoy abundant life,
not just the days you are off work or on vacation or when
you get to go shopping or golfing,
but every day of your life.
He wants you to enjoy going to the grocery store.
He wants you to enjoy driving the kids to school,
He wants you to enjoy paying the bills.
He wants you to enjoy cleaning the house or mowing the lawn.
You can enjoy life if you determine to do so.
Say, "I am going to enjoy every aspect of my life, because Jesus died so that I could have joy unspeakable and full of glory."
I hope this encourages you today.
That Jesus is there in our mundane everyday and that He just wants to be apart of our day.

Sweet Whispers of Forgiveness
Amongst many a tears and some honest words from our Firstborn, we have finally had some breakthrough.
Two nights ago we took advantage of a small moment in time where Master D felt comfortable enough to be real and honest with us about how he has been feeling lately.
Our eyes were open and our hearts completely broken.
Today we are thanking Jesus for guiding us gently through a moment that opened some much needed doors of communication and those sweet words of.....
"I'm sorry"
"I forgive you"
Such powerful words.

Running away
I had a moment today...
A moment where I pictured myself walking out the door,
Getting in my car
And driving.
No turning back.
As I looked around me, I saw boxes still waiting to be unpacked,
Clothes that needed to be washed,
Dishes in the sink.
I had one bubba screaming and another child at my feet firing requests at my at hundred miles an hour and both refusing to sleep.
It was in that exact moment that I had my vision, one of driving away and never turning back.
You see in that moment I could completely understand yet again why some mothers do walk away from their families. This motherhood/wife/life gig is HARD.
The last few months have been crazy to say the least.
We found out that our rental property was being sold and it was time to look for a new house.
This meant packing up a house with three kids, a dog and a husband and life still rolling along.
There was the need to the house to be tidy for the numerous open houses.
In amongst that time I got sick. And with no time to stop and get better I soldiered on.
Well I'm still sick 6weeks later and now I have lovingly shared my germs with the rest of the household.
So I had a moment... The weight was to heavy to carry anymore. I cried A LOT, you know the 'ugly' cry that sees snot everywhere.
In that moment I pictured running away, leaving it all behind just to feel me again.
The 'me' is lost. I'm not quite sure where she is or when she will be back.
I'm hoping soon.

Being In The Moment
There may be the craziness of cupboard packing boxes all about the house.
There may be dishes in the sink.
There may be dust build up and crumbs on the floor.
But today, I'm choosing to be in the moment,
A moment that will be gone soon never to be gotten back.
So I'm enjoying it.
The other mundane daily tasks can wait.
These little cherubs can not.
