Learning Lessons

Well, I have been MIA for a while, I have let stress control me and my emotiuons for far too long. I have been struggling in my walk with God. I have wanted to focus on our relationship but let others and other things get in my way. I know better and I wish I could tell you that I am one of those who can keep it all on track and together. I am not. In fact I am the farthest from that ever!!!!!

However, I am learning that where I am and who I am in this season is right where God knew I would be and the person that God knew I would be. I am in the midst of a season of learning something big. I knw it is about contentment and trust but it is so much more. I wish I could put into words the lesson but right now they won't come. I just know I am on the verge of understanding something that God has been trying to teach me all year and longer and I know it will forever change me.

How awesome that he loves me even when I struggle and try to do it all on my own or when I don't quite understand and he takes the time to teach me.

So thank you sooo much God for loving me and desiring to teach me so we can grow closer in our relationship.

Operator Error!!!!

Okay so I got the mobile app thinking that I might find time to post more stories and thoughts and some how I made two old post into drafts!  Since this blog is basically a family journal for me and I want to keep each post I am reposting them.  So when you see stories about babies don't think we have had a time warp!  It is just me reposting old post so I don't lose them!

What a morning!!!!

Original Post 8/30/2008 It is just now 8:11 AM and my morning has already been chaotic! I woke up to Coleman crying ready to eat at 5:30....This is 30 minutes after I should have been up getting ready. I was just too tired I guess because I never heard the alarm clock. So out of bed I jump and run downstairs and get a bottle for Coleman and realize that Jackson is now crying too. Where is Trey in all this?!?!?! Still asleep! How is it that a mom hears every cry and a dad has selective hearing? At this point I run back upstairs and get Trey awake and tell him he has to feed Coleman and then I go to check on Jackson and he is hungry so back downstairs we go with sheep, his stuffed animal that is his best friend to cozy up to at night. We get downstairs and he wants a banana and some milk. I get all this together and then we start back upstairs and I see a bunny outside the house through one of the sidelights next to the door and I stop everything because I know Jackson would love to se...

5:22

Sorry for the delay in posting this as a sequel to my last post on May 22 nd . I got home on that particular Friday night and I laid down with Jackson to try and get him to sleep and the verse Galatians 5:22 popped in my head. I thought that was weird since I had woke up at 5:22 that morning...and as I put it together today...it was the 5 th month and the 22 nd day! Coincidence? I think not. So being that I am the mom of two little ones. I ended up collapsing and waking up at 5:22 Saturday morning. My first reaction was OH NO how did I sleep in here all night? This is not good. Jackson will expect this! Where is Trey? Why didn't he wake me up? Then I realize it is 5:22 AM and God is saying Galatians 5:22 in my Student bible that moved with me to Nashville. So at this point I go to the bonus room open up the bible to Galatians and read a section on the fruits of the spirit and then I go to the verses and find "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindne...
