Where I have been

Some of you may be wondering where I have been lately. There have been a few things keeping me busy, one of which was my birthday. We have also had some amazing fall weather, which has kept us outside a lot more as well.

A week ago today, I turned the big 3.0.  At the beginning of the year, I was not looking forward to my birthday but then my aunt gave me a different perspective, and after that I was REALLY looking forward to it!

I was also looking forward to Saturday, because I was getting a makeover! My sisters took me out and totally made me over as a birthday gift to me. Man, am I glad they did. With me being a stay-at-home mom, I really didn’t do much with my appearance. I just didn’t see the need, but now I see what was missing. I will share more about my girls day out, once I have the before and after pictures to show you.

God also has been teaching me, so I’ve taken this week to continue to get to know Him better and learn what He wants to teach me.

On a different note, Sunday was the first time that I taught Sunday school by myself. Not only was I the only teacher, I had 2 extra girls to teach. I was very nervous. I went over my lesson one last time on Friday (because Saturday was a busy day and I wouldn’t have time) and really felt that I was ready. Then Sunday morning, when the girls were all sitting there watching me and waiting, all my thoughts and planning went right out the window. I couldn’t remember anything! I was able to read the lesson to them and once I was about halfway in, I started getting more relaxed and was able to teach them better. I think (hope) that they got something out of the lesson, I know I did! This was a great learning experience for me and also a little taste of what it will be like to be the only teacher. I am still thoroughly enjoying teaching Sunday school and I am learning a lot!

How has your week been?

My Ministry???

Hey for those of you who read my Sunday post and are waiting to meet our newest addition, Sorry to disappoint but I haven't gotten the picture yet. I can hardly wait to get it!!        I've been wondering for a while now just how does God want me to serve him? What is my ministry? God calls each and everyone of his children to serve him in some way or another and I wasn't sure what mine was. Until now. I really believe that at this point in my life, my ministry is kids. You see, I babysit for 4, I have 2 of my own and I write to 3 sponsor children. It really makes sense that this would be my ministry. On top of all that I feel that I would like to be a Sunday school teacher. Kids as my ministry seems strange to me cause I did NOT ever want to have kids. That is until I met my husband. I always thought that kids were time consuming, money consuming, they ruin your body, make your hair turn grey, need I say more? They were definitely not part of my...

My Spirited, trouble making, blessings.

    My children are a handful some days (usually the days that I’m tired and have limited patience), my daughter is ‘spirited’ and my son is just a trouble maker. He loves to make people laugh and does so in a variety of different ways. Take last week for example, He decided to crawl onto our table (which is higher than normal), stand and then touch my light fixtures. Well, the other two babies that I babysit thought this was hilarious, so they would laugh and he would keep doing it. Then mom (me) seeing what was happening, would come take him off the table, tell him to stay off and carry about my business. However, that doesn’t work with him very well. So he would do it all over again and get the same response from his ‘audience’.  Finally, in order to make him stop, I had to put him into his crib where he couldn’t get out. My daughter is very exuberant. Anyone who knows her can attest to that. When she walks into a room, you know .  She is a child who is ‘mo...

Laundry. Fun?

   I never totally understood why my mom always had a table in the laundry room. Like really, what is the point? Your down there all by yourself folding laundry. How fun is that? Very Very Fun!! And SOOOOO Quiet!!!          Growing up I did not enjoy folding laundry because it usually meant being in the cold, damp basement by yourself with just you and a table full of laundry. It was not exciting at all. I would have much rather brought the laundry upstairs and folded it in the living room instead of in the 'dungeon'. Our basement wasn't that bad, it was just very cold, and eerily quiet when you were down there alone and for a girl (with a very active imagination) that's a scary place to be. I mean who knows what goes on down there when nobody's around, right? Or so, I thought. Now that I'm older however, I totally get it. Yesterday, I put a table in my laundry room. I...          ...
