{Psalm 18:20-24}

God made my life complete when I placed all the pieces before Him. 

When I got my act together, He gave me a fresh start.

Now I'm alert to God's ways; I don't take God for granted.

Every day I review the ways He works; I try not to miss a trick.

I feel put back together, and I'm watching my step.

God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart

to His eyes.

A beautiful scripture spoken over me last night at the Hills sisterhood United night.

My heart is open and willing.

I will journey through this season with these words of wisdom tattooed on my heart.

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its another Boy for this growing household.

Seems we are destined to raise mighty champion warriors

and I LOVE IT.

We have reached with a lot of relief and success

the halfway mark.

Now the countdown begins till we get to meet

our little champion.

These Moments

My dishes may be piled up on the sink,
The Laundry is waiting patiently in several piles for its next turn through the machine.
Beds are only partially made,
There are crumbs sticking to the bottom of our feet.


All this though is blurred into the background as I stare into the sweet yummy eyes of Master G as he so cutie asks "play mummy" How could I possibly say No.

And you know what I Don't. These are the moments that are fleeting and soon enough there will be another little one craving my attention.
So for now I take everything moment I can.

Battles and prayer

Battles are a common thing in my world at this present time.

This season that has started is one I know I'm not going to like very much.

There are more hard days then easy.

'Dragon mumma' has set up camp in our home.

This does not make for a happy home.

There is some darkness lurking.

If you pray I would appreciate if you said a little one for me.

A lot of prayer will be needed over the next little while.

{The Day After Sunday}

I know a day late but linking up with this gorgeous one.

Well lets start by saying that this past weekend was not all glamorous and fun filled as I had previously hoped it would be.
Hubby was going to be away for 4 days for work and I had big plans with the boys just us time.
Well that fell in the toilet as soon as we dropped him at the train station.
Both my beloved boys came down with nasty colds that left us indoors and watching movies, wiping noses constantly, tantrums, almost a full bottle of panadol (my best friend), and 2 very sleepless nights.

Although it seems that this weekend has only bought about sadness, it did make me realise something.
That I am a very capable mother.
I have been doubting my abilities a lot lately and allowing myself to dwell on this lie, in my opinion, probably way too long.
Though this weekend without my knight in shining armour, I managed to keep things together with little to no sleep and not lose my cool, well at the kids anyway, there may have been a moment of closed door and some breathing and prayer.

So this week I am walking tall in that knowledge that I AM CAPABLE.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend.

HELP!!!!!!!

Yes i know what your thinking 2 posts in one day, whats gotten into her.
I tell you its those adorable ankle biters who quite frankly are making me second guess everything I have learnt about one of the hardest jobs on the planet....MOTHERHOOD.
Ever since hubby started working a proper 8-5 office job, things have been more and more hectic and all the patience i can muster has been tested.
I am certainly beginning to doubt my competence, and to be quite honest I see more of cranky and I mean CRANKY mummy more often then I like.
Most of the day things are quite good, Master G and I hang out, play, watch movies, colour, and visit friends. He is still napping in the day so that allows me to get a couple of hours to myself which is amazing.
Then 3pm rolls around and its time for school pickup. Most of the time this starts out great. Master D and I chat about his day and what he learnt and what games he played with his friends at lunch.
Then everything shifts, EVERY afternoon without fail he is asking if he has to do his jobs, can he just do one. Or he just straight out tells me he is not doing them that day. I know that may sound a little lame but when its every afternoon and I lovingly explain that the jobs we have set for each day is so that he can learn to take responsibility for his things and learn to help mum and dad around the house, by the third day I have just about had it.
Then comes the drama once we get home, everything comes with an argument, whinging, you name it I get it. I ask him not to do something so he goes ahead and does it. I am so sick of hearing my own voice saying the same thing over and over again.
Which leads me into the crazy ZOO hour/s, those that have young children will know that time when all hell breaks lose, the animals burst out of their enclosures with every intention of creating major feral mayhem.
Now I'm at complete loss.
I have had enough.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How do you more than capable mothers reading this keep your ZOO hours down to minimal damage???????????????

Got any great scriptures that you use to help you??????
