What a Blessing

A few months ago my youngest son had to have an MRI. The wonderful docs at the Children's hospital in FT.Worth Tx were very concerned he had Communicating Hydrocephalus. After his MRI they said he was in the Gray area. I never even assumed in medicine there was a Gray area. Usually with science it's one way or another. They made us play a 3 month waiting game. I'm no good at waiting and I despise surprises. I did what any mother would do. I spent a lot of time praying. I can attest to the POWER of Prayer. This past week we went in and had another MRI done. After much review of his films my son's doctor came into the room and said "well he's fine. Perfectly imperfect as we all are. He was born with large ventricles that function properly. He is growing at a normal rate, his head is not unusually large and we do not need to see him back....EVER." He then shook our hands and said"Have a nice life, so happy I'll never have to see you again." I was so overjoyed I could barely speak. I managed to mummer 'THHHHHThank YOU." What a HUGE BLESSING!!!!! I am still in awe and shock over our little miracle. Praise God for his Mercy and Grace, for his Favor and Blessings.

Thank you Lord!!!!!!!!!!!

30 :(

So I am quickly approaching 30. When I say quickly I mean in 2 months. I feel so strange about this birthday. I know it's a milestone but besides that I feel so unaccomplished. Don't get me wrong I am MORE BLESSED than I could ever Thank the Good Lord for, I just feel like I should be somewhere else. I love my life,my family, and the seasons the Lord is currently blessing me with. I guess I feel like I should have done more by now. Sure, I have 3 kids;who are happy,healthy and fairly well adjusted. However, What have I actually done and more importantly where do I go from here? Why is 30 affecting me more than 25 or 29? I am completely comfortable with being 30. I welcome the more (grown-up) persona society expects of me and the responsibilities that go along with that. So why so Blah? Hmmmmmmmmmm, I suppose I have some serious pondering on the matter.

Blessings :)

Some new pics of the Kids :) My most Precious Blessings!

All things New

So I have decided to make this blog about the things I feel, think , need ,love, cherish and well just about whatever I feel like :) Each morning all things are made New through God. Praise him one day I will be the New me he intended me to be.

Thankful Thursday

Today, Thursday April 21st 2011: I am Incredibly Thankful for Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. It is because of his Love and Forgiveness I made it through a difficult time today. He gave my baby peace and comfort when I could not. He protected him. Today I not only prayed for my son but I cried out to God for him. It made me think how he gave his Only son for Me, for You, for US ALL! I can not fathom what that pain was like for Him or what Mary's cries and prayers sounded like. The only thing I can do is Praise him and Thank him for such undeserved LOVE.

Father, May your name always be made Holy. Thank you for such Mercy and Grace. Thank you for comfort and peace. Thank you for your unfaltering LOVE!!!!!!!!

In Jesus name I pray these things.....AMEN.

I am so Thankful for Drake finally getting into preschool. He started today. He really likes it, and is so happy to be in the same class as his Bestest Friend Alex. He said" mommy thanks for letting me go to school it was Great." As sad as I am, I guess I better get use to it. I just wish he could have stayed small forever.

So it's been awhile since I last blogged, but Whatever I got alot going on. So new updates: Drake turned 4.He is so excited to start preschool in August,if he gets in.My monkey girl had her birthday. Yay December is 1 and still not walking, she is spoiled with everyone holding her all the time so I can't blame her.We moved to a bigger house in the Bricks area. I love all of the extra space. The most unexpected and amazing update is that we are expecting baby#3 in January.The past 6 months have been eventful and the next 6 months should be just as exciting.

Happy 2009

I am so excited for this new year. I pray 2009 is full of Blessings,Love,Joy,and Happiness! It was hard to say goodbye to 2008. This past year was so eventful. I was so Blessed. I have amazing friends, a wonderful family, and most importantly a Faithful,Graceful, and Loving GOD. I have yet to make any resolutions, partly because I think they are silly, but I might have a few later on. Happy NewYear Everyone!!!!!! I pray only good things for you and yours.


Happy 2009

My babies and I

Just a pic of Drake, December and myself.

History

Well tonight history was made. Barack Obama has become our 44th president. I couldn't be happier, to experience this. I've always wondered as I listened to my grandparents speak about their memories, World War 2, the 60's, Vietnam,etc.What it must have been like, to experience things so world changing, and now I have my own moment to share with my future grandchildren . The story of our 1st African American President. I am blessed to be alive to see this event happen. I pray he does bring the change America so desperately needs.

Me time

I so need me time. It's been awhile since I've had any time to myself. Life is so demanding. I desperately need a few hours of fun, or a few hours of complete uninterrupted sleep. I need to remember who I am at the core of my being. I love my LORD,my Life, my kids, my marriage, I just need time to love me again. It is so much easier to say I need this time, then to try to create this time. I feel so guilty. My mother is an avid believer in you have to take care of yourself first in order to take care of everyone else, if only it was that simple. I need to take a step back and reevaluate things. Maybe if I do this I can be the wife, the mother, and the friend I long to be.

*GOD give me the strength I need to allow myself the time I need to become who I was meant to be. Please help me to learn that I need me time, in order to give my family all they need and deserve.*
