Sweet and Simple

Right now, I'm seeing how basic my life is. I am on such a schedule it's unbelievable how I feel when i break that schedule. Monday through Friday it goes a little something like this:
  • Wake up at 5
  • Shower
  • Go to work at 6
  • Come home for a break at 10
  • Go back to work 
  • Get off work at 1
  • Take a nap (if possible) with Kye
  • Bed time for Kye at 7:30
  • For me at 8
And that goes on Monday-Friday. But now it's Friday and Kye has been asleep for almost two hours. I don't have work early in the morning and I'm not so tired. So I am so lost on what I should do! Glad I got the idea to blog and just to write whats on my mind because I think I would of went crazy. I don't really want to watch anything on TV because I haven't been able to keep up with any of the shows since I go to sleep so early now. So I'm just sitting on the couch bored out of my mind.

With all that said, it's plain to see how simple my life is. I am a mom. And that's about it.Well, that's really it. Work two jobs plus being a full time mommy, and I can't say anything negative because I love it. If I could change my work schedule that would be nice because it does seem like I'm missing out some on my son and I really hate that. I worked 6-1 all week and now tomorrow I have to work at my other job 2-9. It really bums me out because I'm barely going to see my son tomorrow. What gets me through the day though is knowing that I am doing all of this for my son and in the long run it will pay off. I know it will. He motivates me so much and that makes a lot so much easier. If he wasn't here I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be waitressing again and probably just working the retail job a couple days a week.
As I'm sitting here on the couch I'm watching TV and by that I mean regular TV. I can't remember the last time I watched something other than BabyTV. I am watching Charlie & The Chocolate Factory but I am not watching those baby sing along shows and it just feels weird. It's strange not going along with my every day schedule. 
I love my life being a mom. It's the most rewarding things there is and I wouldn't change it for the world.

In Prayer

Do you want to grow spiritually?  Of course we do! I do!  Pastor Greg Laurie goes more into depth of prayer while studying The Lord's Prayer in Luke 11.  The basic things are the main things we need to focus on. Stating the most important things are the simplest things. Prayer is communicating and listening to God. In Luke 11 the disciples are asking Jesus to teach them how to pray. Jesus then began ' The Lord's Prayer '.  And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Luke 11:2 We must pray according to the will of God. We need to ask God to give us the plan for our life. His will for us will be done on this earth, only if we ask.  And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. Luke 11:4 We need to confess our sins, even if we don't believe we have do

The 'Traditional Family'

Image
Tuesday while listening to Greg Laurie, he said something that really hit home and I began to feel sad, upset, hurt and even a little angry. This is what he said and I quote  "The idea of a traditional family seems to be something of the past. So many broken homes today... We have to visit dad and his new wife and we have to visit mom and her new boyfriend and I have all these new step brothers and sisters and the whole thing is sort of...icky. Uncomfortable. Awkward." -Greg Laurie  Well Pastor Greg, you hit that one spot on. Before he made that quote he addressed that there are broken home in the result of divorce. However, to be in that situation he described doesn't always have to be the result of a divorce. It could simply be the result of ignorance as well!  Growing up, I always told myself I would never have a broken family, and if you have kept up with my blog you have heard that plenty of times.  Well no one ever wants to have a broken family. But for me, that was

Who Are We?

I listened to a sermon on the 4th and I have been trying to put all my thoughts together to write a post about it because it was so meaningful for me. It helped me realize a lot about myself and my faith. I am still trying to get all my ducks in a row for that post but I just wanted to give a little bit of encouragement. It seems like most sermons preached lately are about this craziness but out of that craziness there is a lot to learn! In Exodus 13-16 we read about how Pharaoh finally let the Israelites out of Egypt. All the Isrealites wanted was to be let go and what was one of the first things they did when they got out of Egypt? They complained. They started complaining about how they 'missed' things from Egypt.  Exodus 16:3 says   The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the  Lord ’s hand in Egypt!  There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food  we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death.”
