Little things in Life!

It's the little things in life that are the most important!!!

Do you ever get up and want to just get a hot cup of coffee or tea and a good book and curl up and just read and drink your hot drink and enjoy your day by doing nothing else? I sometimes think, "Oh, it would be so nice to just have a lazy day today." Then reality sets in and my kiddos wake up and before you know it, it is time to start the day. Laundry, dishes, feeding kids, cleaning up and all the millions of little things that we moms do every day.

You know, I love my family more than anything and sometimes it would be nice to just have that lazy day or just do nothing or anything other than all the adulting things we have to do, but I wouldn't trade my life for anything. I love the time I get to spend with my kiddos, even if it is a million things I have to do. So I get my cup of coffee and usually make my older kiddo a hot cup of cocoa and we start our day just enjoying our hot drinks together.

We homeschool so after we finish our drinks we will usually clean up a little bit and then get our school lessons out of the way so we can play or run errands the rest of the day. I also work from home as a small business that sells vintage embroidery kits or crocheted items so it is never ending work between that and homeschooling and cleaning.

Miracles and Faith

Have you seen miracles in your lifetime? I have and without a doubt I’ve known it was only God’s grace and Him performing that miracle that the situation changed. I have been raised in the church and have seen many different miracles throughout my lifetime, but one of the more recent ones was when my youngest son was born. He was born at 30 weeks but had quit growing at 28 weeks gestation. He was only 2 pounds and 5 ounces when he was born. Now, I know that science and the medical field did everything they could, but I also know that it is a true miracle that he is alive today because there is only so much that humans can do on their own. It is a miracle that I survived that pregnancy also. I remember being at Heaven’s gates the night before my son was born. I was on bed rest in the hospital for 12 days before my son was born. That is one of the hardest things to go through when you have another child at home that you can’t be there ...

New blog

This was a challenge trying to get this blog set up, but I wanted to start a blog about my long-distance dating journey. My boyfriend lives about six hours from where I live so it has been an interesting challenge trying to figure out the logistics of when we can see each other since our work schedules are completely opposite. We met about eight years ago when he lived in the same town that I live in. We attended the same church at the time and that is how we met. After dating on and off for a few years he accepted a position in a new store that was opening with his company and decided to move away. We remained friends and talked on the phone occasionally but decided that dating just wasn't going to work at that time. After a few years, we decided to try the dating thing again and now it has been about three months and we see each other about every two weeks or so and talk on the phone to each other just about every night. Well that is enough hi...

Impossible!!!

1 Peter 1: 7-9 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. What is your impossible situation? What is your I need a miracle situation? I heard these lines in a song recently and it got me to thinking about how sometimes situations in our lives seem so impossible and out of control. We just don't know what to do about it or what to think about that situation. I read the above scripture in 1 Peter last week and it got me to thinking about how gold is refined by going through fire, diamonds are mined from deep within the earth. We wouldn't have the beautiful jewelry and precious me...
