Handing it over

Ever have one of those days where it seems like anything bad that can happen does happen? A day where all of those around you are hurting and you are completely helpless?

That's where I am today. So many relatives in pain. Filled with sickness. Fear surrounding. And here I am helpless.

Why is it that when days like this present themselves we always try to figure out what WE can do. I claim a faith in a tremendous God, yet when something tremendous happens I first try to figure out what I can do. How easy it is to forget how small we are and how huge our God is.

Empty Shelves

Today I received an e-mail that went a little something like this ...

"Umm hey, I know you just got a foster baby and all but some of us have addictions to certain products and well the shop is lookin' a little bare."

The e-mail came from a friend and she was totally joking. For the most part. Ha.

"My turn to pick" 

 "No, my turn to pick"

 "MOMMMMYYY!!!!"

This conversation goes down a lot at our house. My kiddos love tv. They are only allowed an hour or so of television a day. Most days. So when it comes to who chooses the shows, they take it serious. One is two, one is four. One a girl, one a boy. So as you can imagine, their tastes in t.v. are a bit different.


This mom needed some relief. A break from the remote control battles. So you can imagine my excitement when they found a show they both love. You can not even begin to imagine how much more excited I was when I found that the show taught great character traits and had education benefits. Insert big happy mommy face her. Woo Hoo!!!!!!

Coffee Talk Randomness

Today if we were to sit down for coffee, it would feel like the first time have sat all week. Ah to enjoy a cup of coffee. Things have been crazy around here. Good crazy but crazy none the less.

I would tell you how we are adjusting pretty much seamlessly to having a 3rd baby around here. But that it is still a third baby, meaning 3 kids 3 and under. It's a change. I would tell you how shocked I am by how small of a change it is though. I thought I would be so much more overwhelmed. And I am not. I am tired. Really tired. But not overwhelmed.

Polka Dot Nails

Alright, at the last Mani Monday I discussed with you my obsession with gray nails and my fear of color. So umm, this week you are going to be shocked with me. Like for reals.

Coffee Date; Following God's Call

If we were to have coffee today, you would see me beaming with joy. I would also have a party crasher with me. I would tell you that he was our new foster baby and you would be amazed out how beautiful and well behaved he is.

I would tell you how our prayer life lately has been consumed with him and his birth parents. How we are praying relentlessly for them. I would also ask you to be praying for them. That God would do a work in all of them. That He would use this.
