Agape Love

Within the last couple of months I have witness true humbleness and true Agape love. I only hope that witnessing this kind of humbleness and love will help me further grow so that one day I can do the same. 

This day in time it is so very hard not to hold those grudges or be cold to someone that we "feel" as wronged us. But when we really analyze the situation have they really wronged us?? I mean after all everyone's entitled to an opinion and just because everyone doesn't agree does it really mean they are wrong? We each have to answer for ourselves not the actions of others, and let's be honest, people have different struggles with different things, and no one handles a problem the same.  So instead of being so judge mental maybe we should be a little more understanding. 

We as Christians are looked at so hard this day in time, people are waiting for one slip up, one moment when we break, when we fail, when we probably don't look very Christian like. Well guess what it's gonna happen, being a Christian doesn't give us a free pass from sin! It gives us FORGIVENESS from our sins. We are still sailing the same sea that everyone is sailing, the only exception is we have the best Captain ever guiding us through! 

We are all so worried about knowing all the details in a situation, maybe instead of worry about knowing all the details we (yes I say we because I'm just as guilty as the next) fall to our knees and pray. 

In Bible study last night we were asked a question the question was....

  *** In the last 7 days how many Gospel conversation have you had? I must say I had to hang my head with what I knew my answer was. My eyes were also open to the fact that if we do not do this we are simply reaping the benefits of the Lord and not passing them on to others, which is basically stealing from God. We are suppose to share the gospel to help advance His kingdom not keep it to ourselves. ***

This so ends my ramblings... most of  you know that I'm not good with putting things into words. But this has been on my heart lately.. <3

" Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders

Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior"

You're gonna miss this!!

One day, late nights, farm & little league will be a thing of the past, and you will miss it! It's ball session once again and the craziness has begun!  Tonight once we got home, it was time to get baths, wash uniforms and make sure I got them in the dryer before bed, study spelling words and get the kids settled down in bed. I was transferring the clothes from the washer to the dryer when I realized I hadn't had supper. So at 12:01 am (that's a whole new day)  I took my leftovers out of the microwave and began to eat in a quiet house. That's when I began to think and then I realized that this is all so worth it and that in years to come this will all be but a memory and the long nights won't even matter then. My kids will have their memories and that's all that matter. As I checked on the kids as they were sleeping before I laid down, I heard the sweetest giggles coming from Landen as he laid there sleeping. I wondered what he was dreaming that had him so tickled! So my point in this ongoing blog session is to not let the little things stress you, because on day you will want to be up at midnight washing ball uniforms, you will want to be at the ball games until late, You'll  miss the wild and craziness of it all and long for just one more moment in time to do it all over!! Life's too short to complain about it all ( and believe me I do my far share). From now on I'll take in every wild and crazy moment!

Don't blink and take every minute in!!

My baby boy needed me today!! I mean I know he needs me everyday BUT he really needed me today. He got that nasty stomach bug that is going around! As I was home with him watching him sleep and just talking to him, I realized that I had lost 7 years, they were gone! So I am writing this to all new mothers some advice that I have found over the last 12 years and 3 kids.

I know that some of your nights are probably long and you are probably longing for just a couple more hours of sleep, make this your bonding time. Sing to your baby, rock your baby just take every minute in. Because believe me if you do blink they will be grown! Capture every moment on film (and I'm not saying this because I'm a photographer and that's my job) I'm saying that so you'll have those memories to look back on in years to come. Back to the rocking (this is something I think I miss the most) rock that baby every chance you get! I rocked all of mine but I probably mentally recorded each time with Noah simply because I knew he was the last. I had people tell me that they rocked theirs too and if they would have known the last time they rocked would have been the last, they would have rocked forever. I thought they were crazy I knew he would want me to rock him forever. Guess what the day came when the words I thought I'd never hear came out of his mouth.. "Mom you don't have to rock me tonight, I'm 6 now and I'm too big." Those words crushed my heart and soul! So ladies rock forever while you can! I do think rocking gave me more comfort than him.. I knew I was needed.

All children are different and a precious gift from God! Take every moment in ladies and cherish it always!!! Cry if you need to when they cry and you don't know why, pray then too. God entrusted you with this amazing gift, it's ok to turn to Him when you have not a clue what to do!

Love to all!!!
