Hoping I can do this tomorrow!

Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the ground each morning,

the devil says, "OH CRAP, SHE'S UP!"

God Surrounds Me

Feeling exhausted, I want to go to bed but I am afraid I will just lie there with my brain in overdrive. My trip to Buffalo was led by God every step of the way. From the people I met on the plane into JFK and BFLO, to the snow falling outside the window as I lay with my mom. From the sunshine that was felt on Friday to the words spoken by family. The list could go on and on. It was a whirlwind of errands and emotions I thought I had experienced last November when Dad was in the hospital for his heart. Never did I expect to have to fly home again so soon, especially for something like this...

A God Hug~I felt one of these today!

Dear God: This is my friend, whom I love And this is my prayer for her Help her live her life To the fullest. Please promote her And cause her to excel Above her expectations. Help her to shine In the darkest places Where it is impossible To love. Protect her at all times, Lift her up when she needs You the most, and Let her know when She walks with you, She will always Be safe. Do not ask the Lord to guide your footsteps. If you are not willing to move your feet.

Wordless Wednesday

K'nex Roller Coaster

Santa brought Reece a K'nex Roller Coaster and he has been waiting for weeks to open it. Today he was finally able to spend the day building it with his dad.

First they had to sort out all 637 pieces into separate piles.

Then it was time to start the massive assembly.

Here it is only part way finished. They needed to take a break for lunch.

I...

i was … just thinking about how I need more time to craft & scrap.
i am … exactly where I want to be in my life right now.
i think … I am incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by an amazing family.
i wonder … what it would be like if I got 8 hours of sleep on a regular basis.
i wish … everyone knew their divine worth and used it.
i need ... to start running again.
i save … Box Tops for my kids to turn into school.
i always … crave a little silence.
i never ... want to miss making memories with my little ones because I am too busy.
i hope... for another awesome summer of adventures.
i can't imagine … existing without my family.
i believe … everybody is stronger than they believe.
i cherish ... moments with my mom, as they are few and far between.
i promise … I really earned a 1.8 my first semester of college, but made up for it by getting a 4.0 in my entire Master's Program at UNLV.
i love … being at home with my kiddos.
i try ... to be optimistic.
i pray ... for PEACE, WISDOM and JOY.
