Thoughtful Thursday - I Want to Be a Prayer Warrior - part 1

Well, today's THOUGHTFUL THURSDAY.  We've had VBS all this week and it was fantastic!!!  Last night we had a guest speaker; a woman who lived in Honduras for a year and worked at the children's home there.  Such an amazing testimony!!!   I was asking if there were many disabled childrem in Honderuas.  She said that while there are some kids with some mental disablities, but at this time, the children's home isn't equipped at this time to care for children with phsically disablities - but that there are  praying to  be able to soon.  She asked me to prayer for this need.

This got me thinking.  I really want to go back what I believe is on of my calling...to be a prayer warrior!!!

All my life, I've wanted to do is to server God and make Him.  Yes ~ I know ~ that I, in myself, cannot make God happy.  But I do believe that when we are obedident and follow God's will for our life ~ that we can and do please God.

Sometimes ~ too many time actuallly - I think of my Ceberal Palsey as a hinderance; that it keeps me  from serving God.  But truth; it only hinders me from servving Him the way I think I'm suppose.  But I have to realize that many of th ways I think I'm suppose to serve isn't what he intended me to do.

Thankful Thursday - My kids

Hey all!  I feel so behind in my writing.  But this is my kids' time.  It's already mid June - times flies when you're going CRAZY!!! 
No, my kids ar truly a blessing from God and I truly don't want to miss the precious time that God has given me with them.  I wish I could say I see each day; each moment as a gift.  But I can't.   They're are allowed to sleep as long as they want - mainly because when they're asleep they're not fighting.

 |wonder if God ever wishes that we would just be queit and go to sleep so He can have some peace.  I mean, I love my kids, but there are times when just the thought of taking care of my kids just compleaty EXHAUSTS me.  But I know that God will give my the ablity to parent the and I must admit that I'm very thankful that God is 10,000X the parent I will ever be and that He extends more love, patience and grace to me than I could ever imagine to give to my kids.

Thoughtful Thursday - COUNT YOUR BLESSING,

NAME THEM ONE BY ONE ...

   1)  My husband Barrett - who loves me even thru my craziness.

2.  Dalton- who is the child wished upon me when I was growing up and my mama always said; "I hope you have a child JUST LIKE YOU!

3)  Bobbye Sue - who my look like Stacia but is really just a miniature Barrett.

4.  My wonderful father in law who I don't think knew when we got married that he was going to be "Driving Mrs. Heather".

5) Holly Grove - our amazing church home and family.

6.  A house we love: My prayer is to leave only in a pine box - but give me a few more years!

7) My brothers - OK, here's what just came to mind.  Jimmy carrying me and running all the way back home after I fell and sliced my hand in the pond!

8.  My sister - definitely a worthwhile blessing to our family.

9.  My sept-dad; Yep, I owe you a Chinese supper. 

10.  My mama - who I said I'd never be like, but I'm grateful I'm becoming more and more like every day.

Thoughtful Thursday - Staying Home in Sickness & Health

IT'S THOUGHTFUL Thursday 

       As I count my blessings today, the one that is foremost on my mind is that I'm able to stay home with my children when they are sick.  Dalton has had the stomach virus for 3 days now.    Today I realized had glad I am that I don't have to find a sitter or leave them home alone so that I can go to work.  I got to thinking about when I was in the hospital for almost 2 months when I was expecting Bobbye Sue.    Dalton had just turned 3 and had to go stay with my Mama during the week; (Barrett would go get home Friday and Mama would usually come visit me on Sunday and take him home with her.)  I would talk to Dalton every night before bed.  On more than one occasion he said; "Please Mama, let me come home.  I will be a good boy."  It broke my heart.  He was too young to understand understand what was going home; he just knew he wasn't at his home with his Mama and  Daddy.    Now I'm so thankful I get the chance to stay home and take care of the kids and Barrett.  Thank you God!

Thoughtful Thursday

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2011

Been dealing with a bit of depression this week.  I'm ready, I need SUNSHINE.  I just wanna sleep.  But I've still  got to PRAISE GOD. 

So today I'm thankful for:

-a warm home

- a great husband

- 2 awesome kids

- a God who loves me uncoditionally

Thoughtful Thursday

OK, so what am I thinking?  Not much but that I really wish spring would come SOON!  I know it's only January!!!   Kids are home and out of school tomorrow - it's their 6th snow day this year!    But I'm very thankful tonight that I  don't have scrounge around to find a sitter for tomorrow.  Dalton has been sick  all week and I'm thankful that I was able to stay home with him.

Thoughtful Thursday

It's Thursday night of what's been a  long, snowy week.  Tomorrow is the first day they've been to school last Friday.  It almost seams pointless for them to go tomorrow, since Monday is a holiday, but since Rutherford County only has about 11 built in snow days.   Many Tennessee counties have already used  their alloted day can miss and already are staying that they are going to have go on  holidays and/or over  spring break.
      We did have a really good.  The kids were mostly good and did most of their chores.  My sister-in-law is coming in the morning to help me clean.  Even though I'm going to really try to keep my house clean this year; it really helps when she comes every couple of weeks to help me with the heavy cleaning, she hasn't been since before Christmas.


I'm going to start posting what I'm thankful on Thursday; so here goes:
