:: Rest ::

Rest.................


A simple four letter word that brings about so much more than we can imagine.
It's what we need in our crazy lives in order to keep our head above water.
It's what rejuvenates us, refreshes the soul.

It can be as simple as enjoying a hot cuppa for five minutes while children are distracted,
Turning your phone on silent, off the hook for a twenty minute power nap.
If your extremely blessed a full day/s without any distractions at all.
Freedom to do things at your own pace, spend some time with Him,
read a book, do some baking, watch a movie, the list is endless.

This is me today....
My In-Laws have come and taken my boys on a fun filled adventure day so that I may have some much needed REST, before our newest munchkin makes his arrival.
After quite a few days of whinging, fights and little attitudes and quite a few tears (from my side) this day has been welcomed with opening arms and many thanks.

Today I am thanking Jesus that he answers prays even if we do not directly ask, He just knows.
Thankful for those that listen to His small prompting and obey.

Yes I have already enjoyed my five minute Hot cuppa,
I will be turning my phones off for a twenty minute or more power nap
and will be pottering around the house enjoying the quietness.

Praying you are getting your much needed rest, whichever way that looks like.

Happy Birthday to me.

{However small, a life is still precious}

A baby

whether outside the womb, or inside, 

a cell, a fetus, an embryo, 

a few days gestation or 40 weeks gestation...

It is still something that God created, what He planted and nurtured within us.

To Him its a life from the moment we conceive them. 

We have a right to mourn no matter what life span it has. 

Something apart of us, of our husbands and our God,

 was there and is now gone, that is something we mourn. 

A thought for you most precious friend who may be dealing with the loss of a life from someone who hurts as much as you. 

There is no wrong or right for this. However you feel is ok.

Dreaming........ loneliness

Dreaming of.............

far off places

a tropical island 

a snow covered cabin

cobble streets

wide open spaces

secluded waterfalls 

Right now any of these places in my minds eye have kept me in a happy place.
Away from the whinging, defiance, household chores, bills, loneliness.

To Cloth or Not To Cloth????????????

Well my lovelies the question on my mind at the moment is just that
'To Cloth or Not To Cloth?'
A few of my lovely mumma friends have been using cloth nappies for their kids and swear by them.

What do you do? or have done?


What brands to you swear by?


what are the best sites to find out more information from????

:: 30 weeks ::

10 weeks to go till we will be getting to meet our newest little man.

10 weeks for my already large belly to double in size at the rate he is growing.

10 weeks before my household becomes a crazy new adventure to navigate.

10 weeks to get this house in order and ready for another little man.

10 weeks to pull out and sort through all the gorgeous teeny tiny clothes that already tell the story and hold the memory of two other champions.

10 weeks to make the most of the cherished one on one time with Master G before someone else is craving my attention.

10 weeks to get all my questions and thoughts out to make sure the next year runs as smoothly as possible.

Sweet Little Ones

Today the tears flowed just a little and then a lot.

I prayed ever so quietly to my Jesus,

I prayed that He would sweep my little bubba up in His bring strong arms,

hold them tight,

kiss their yummy cheeks 

and whisper in their ears that Mumma loves them and misses them so very much.

That every day I think of them and long for the day I will be able to hold them,

kiss them,

whisper in their ear "Mummy Loves You".

I prayed that He would wrap this little mumma up in those 

same strong arms,

hold me tight

kiss my tear streaked cheeks 

and whisper in my ear that He loves me,

and there will come a day when the pain is not so bad,

that I will remember my sweet little one with a smile,

with love and happiness that they 

are in a better place, 

that they never had to deal with the pain of this world,

that they only know the goodness and majesticness of their loving Saviour.

The journey is challenging and at times extremely painful,

I cling to Jesus with everything that is in me,

with all the strength I can muster.

I look to all I have and am truly thankful.

My Family is my blessing.
