I Am Happy

Tonight I found myself answering Mr. Grouper from Bubble Guppies extra loud in my living room, by myself! I also sang and danced in the shower and as I got out. (TMI) I passed wind in front of my father and son and afterwards thought, 'I should of said excuse me and set an example for my son.' Even though he didn't even notice! Haha! Today I took so many pictures of Kye as I'm learning more and more about my camera. 

I am happy.
This weekend gave me more than enough moments to give up and just be mad for the rest of the weekend. We were potty training! The most frustrating thing in the world. Every time I caught myself getting a little mad, I stopped and prayed. I prayed for patience and understanding and that Kye would get a hang of this new obstacle I'm forcing into his life. I can understand how completely aggravating that can be. 
Half way through the first day I was so ready to just put a diaper on him and call it a day. I'm so happy I stuck through it though. It was a long weekend but it was very enjoyable. We spent the whole weekend at home together, just the two of us. I learned a lot about him and he definitely learned a lot too. We were able to take a little mini break to enjoy the beautiful weather and I'm so happy I did. He really enjoyed it and I was able to get some fresh air and a new mindset to get through the rest of this weekend. 

I am happy! 
I have everything I NEED in life. I'm making it through this tough time. I made the decision to go through these 9 months hanging on a prayer, emotionally support and a tiny savings. We're 4 months in and I'm doing better than I expected. There is really nothing to complain about and when I just start to think negatively I praise God for all He has done for us. 

I am so happy and that's something I definitely need to keep reminding myself. I am happy, even when I don't understand why certain things are happening. I am happy when I start to think how I'm going to make it through this month. I am happy because I have the greatest son in the world. I am happy because God is walking with me every step of the way. I am happy because I have all the reason in the world to be. I am happy because I am!

In Prayer

Image
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.”
