When God Surprises You!

So I'm sitting here swishing my coconut oil, on guard mixture for my morning oil pulling and it's only 5:30 in the morning. I've been awake since about 4:45 but got out of bed are 5:00 and I'm WIDE awake! Like more wide awake than I normally am at any point during the day!

So sitting here in the quiet morning got me thinking. Partly because there is no one to talk to but even if there was I couldn't talk because I'm swishing oil around my mouth. So I was thinking that if every morning could be like this it would be PERFECT! I can get up before the hubby and have to coffee made. I could be up before the kids are up and have my oil swishing finished so I can actually wish them a good morning when they come out of their room with their sleepy eyes! I can get some small quiet jobs done before the day even  starts for my family. Most importantly I can sit quietly on the couch with some quiet music playing and read my BIBLE! What a treasure! (And of course maybe get a blog post in too!)

So while I was thinking about it I was trying to figure out why this morning was so different than most mornings...and God met with me and gave me the answer! I ASKED HIM! Last night before I went to bed I prayed for HIM to give me the strength to do what I had to do! I have to start getting up earlier in the morning and with a happiness in my heart! I can't be grumpy and groggy all morning. I need HIS STRENGTH to get through the tough habits I have established to get healthy food on the table first thing in the morning and throughout the day. I need HIS STRENGTH to get me through school with Monkey every day and an enormous amount of HIS PATIENCE (of course I made sure to carefully pray around that and not directly ask for patience!) I prayed for HIM to meet me this morning and help me get everything I need to get accomplished done today!
How strange is that? I ASKED God for something and HE ANSWERED! AMAZING! I can't wait to see what the rest of the day brings! I know it has to be good as long as I remember WHO is walking along side me this day and EVERY day! So now you stop and ask God to be with you today! You might be in a hurry but just stop for a second fold your hands, bow your head and say a little prayer. Tell God what you need most from Him right now in this moment and what you need through the day and then look for ways He shows up! He always will if you ask but you have to remember to watch for Him too because He won't always be there the way you think! So now go and enjoy your day! My tummy growling so I'm going to see if I can make some yummy muffins off pinterest for breakfast!

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

12 Week Bumpdate

Yesterday we had our 12 week ultrasound and I enjoyed it so much! We were able to see our baby's face and she  (we didn't find anything out about the sex just hard to talk without he's and she's) had her hands up by her face. It was so cute. We also have a very stubborn child. The poor tech had such a hard time trying to get the measurements that she needed. She kept trying to get the baby to move. She had me move trying to get to the baby to move and nothing. So we were able to enjoy watching our baby on the screen for at least 20 minutes while she did her best to get the pictures she needed.  I'm a little bummed by the photo she gave us to take home. There were so many good photos where you could see so much and then right at the end she gave us a quick photo that isn't great but I will share it anyway. Like I said bad right. Well so it can help the baby's head in on the right side, Her hand is the white blob in front of her face and then you can b...

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...
