Some Days

Some days are so clear, some days you wake up and you know exactly what you are going to do that day and you do it with passion and lust because you know you are here on this day on this earth for this very second.I miss days like that.Other days your just happy to be alive.......

Saturday

I love Saturdays, sleep in, relax.....oh who am I kidding. The alarm goes off and you start to get ready until you realize it is Saturday, go back to sleep just to be woken up by a little guy jumping on you - Mommy Mommy Mommy Mommy.......you finally answer and you just get a smile :) You come downstairs and your lovely daughter has tried to make breakfast for everyone. The pan has burnt eggs on it, now it must soak, the butter is everywhere,  you can tell she was talking and where she moved to by the trail of crumbs, blankets everywhere because each kid wants to wrap themselves up. Milk and cereal out and all over the counter. But when you come downstairs there is a kinda funny looking breakfast but its breakfast none the less. Every bit of that little girls heart went into making this breakfast. Your met with big hugs and smiles. The table is set just for you. Mommmmm Good morning.........how did you sleep. I do in fact Love Saturdays. Wouldn't trade them for anything. I am going to miss mornings like this. My children are wonderful and I love them all.

Girl Scouts

Mia and Angela have what looks like a really good group of little girls in their troop. We went to the first meeting the other night and all the Mom's seem to genuinlly be there for the girls and want to make it as fun as possible. You know there's always one Nazi mom that has to make a big deal about some things but other than that. I think theres a great group of girls for my two to meet.

Back to School

I love my kids very much but I am glad to see them at school. They have been home since Friday. 4 days doesn't sound like a long time but Oh my Word..... it is!!! Now off to school they go this morning and I am happy for them to get an education.

Julia

This is my girlfriends daughter Julia. She stayed with us today. Hunter and her played really hard today, this is the after effect. She is on the steps, I got up for literally 2 minutes, when I came back I couldn't find her. So I started looking and she was no where to be found, instead of calling her mom and telling her that I lost yet another kid, (whole other story) I just kept looking. I happen to look up and this is what I saw!!! It was so funny.

Simon

The Lord gave Simon a new name when he began following Jesus. Cephas, it means a rock in Greek, that was the name the Lord chose for him. What would your name be if you were to be renamed. I would want to be something like brave, or loyal. But where I am today what would I actually be called??? I once new a guy named Simon in the 4th or 5th grade. I had a small crush on him, but I never told anyone.  He was the short brown little guy that had to sit on his feet when he ate lunch to be the same height as everyone else at the table. He sat next to my boyfriend Adam Sanchez. OOooooh he was dreamy :) He was the football player and I was the cheerleader. I have come very far since those days. Those days I would say that the Lord would have given me a great name. But something happens when you get older. I heard a sermon the other day about this. When you are little everything is black and white. You know right from wrong with no doubt. Because you have tested your boundaries. As you get older you seem to see in Gray. Now I have been told on more than one occasion that everything is not black and white and that there are no absolutes. I always argue that it is either black or white and that is the end of it. Either its right or wrong . There's no in between. I have stuck by that and it has cost me in more ways than one. But I would rather stick to my beliefs and have the possiblity of being renamed something beautiful in Gods kingdom, than be accepted here on this earth.

Something to think about

I walked into the book department of the store, laying on top I see a how  to for weight watchers. I took a closer look and there are more wight loss and how to eat healthier than there were religious books. I began to wonder. God says he loves us, he loves us right where we are, fat, thin, ugly, beautiful - no matter what he loves us. So why do we judge ourselves so harshly? Why is it that we fight and designate all these millions of hours to be better looking or thinner? But then the bible says that our body is our temple and that we house the Lord almighty within it. True, we do - how appealing is it to talk to a hot missionary that has the Love for God, or a 300 lb man that wants to share his story with you? I don't know. All these things rush in my head as I look back and think of all the times I spent worrying about how I look when I could have been talking with Jesus or just reading my bible. Even as I stood there and though about it I thought, hmmmmm I'm doing it right now.........

Thrift Stores

Almost all thrift stores or second hand stores are ran by a church or a non for profit organization. Good will, Salvation Army....you know, those stores that no one wants to admit they go to but deep inside they actually enjoy going. I know I do. Its so exciting, you never know what you are going to find or what odd items might make you walk away slowly......very.............slowly......... anyways I have items to take, I was taking them to Open Door Ministry that my church has been helping out. I got there and bam there it was! NO DONATIONS. WOWOWOWOWOWOW, I just find it so odd that a non for profit organization would not take donations, because they have too much? Maybe their prices are too high, maybe they aren't making themselves available to people, maybe they need to ask God why they are turning people away, there is always someone in need. Take a truck full of coats different sizes and all down to Philly. Go beneath where they live and cloth them, give them so clean underwear and don't worry wether or not they live in your county or the next. The fact is they are cold, they are hungry. Don't turn people away, that may be their first time giving and maybe just maybe one of them walks in with a open heart that day and no one talks to her about our Lord Jesus Christ, because No donations today.
