Memorizing Scripture and truly knowing what Gods truths are is so important. It's even more important when we are busy creating a home and 'doing' life because this is when it can get pushed aside. Each week I will pick a verse to memorize. I will try to pick one that applies to creating a home with intention- one that all women can relate to. I hope that you will join me in learning what Gods promises are for us. Join me over at the Weekly Memory Verse page to see what the first verse is!!

5 Min Friday- One Month

-
One month.  Just one. So much can change is such a short time. We went from being a family of 5 to a family of 6. Sweet girl entered our world a month ago. 10 months ago when that little stick had a positive sign, I cried. I cried and then called my husband and then cried some more. I didn't believe it. How could I handle ANOTHER baby (or TWO)? I had a 2 and a half year old and twin 16 month olds. Hubby brought home more pregnancy tests- 5 of them, which all said the same thing- our life was changing again! I cried. How would I go grocery shopping if it was twins again? Would I have to have another c-section? Would this baby (or two) be healthy? I cried and call my friend- the one I KNEW would give me support and say "Yay!! What a blessing! You will be just fine." And after she said all that, I cried again, not because I was scared (ok maybe a little) but because I knew she was right- what a blessing! And a month ago that sweet blessing came into our lives- and I c...

5 Min Friday- Listen

-
 Write for 5 minutes and link up here at Lisa-Jo Baker. Todays word- Listen. GO I think, I want 5 minutes of peace. I want 5 minutes to myself! 5 minutes without a 3 year old whining about something, without a 2 year old calling for help, 'mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy...', without a infant crying to be picked up. Then I stop and listen. Really listen . I hear a 3 year old who so desperately wants to be independent but doesn't know how to break away yet. I get to be her everything for only a few more years . I hear two very special (almost) two year olds who love me and want me to be involved in everything they are doing and learning. I get to be the one to help them learn , I get to be the one that cheers them on and encourages them. I hear a brand new sweet blessing calling for me. I am the only one she wants, I am the only one that can feed her and help her grow. I am the one who can comfort her in a split second.  When I really listen to my life- 5 min...

What I Learned from the Organic Meat Salesmen

-
Remember last week when I took the kids to the fair by myself? On the way out of the fair I was stopped by a guy at a booth who asked, "Would you like a chance to win a years supply of organic meat?" What I should have said, "No thanks." What I did say, "Sure, why not?"   I mean who doesn't want to win free food right? Well, they called. Not because I had won the food, but because they want to set up an in home appointment with me. What I should have said, "No thanks." What I did say, "Sure, next Wednesday would be fine." He came to my house and talked me into buying 3 years worth of organic meat people, 3 YEARS! And because we have no where to store all this meat, he conveniently sells a sub zero, best-on-the-market, indoor or outdoor freezer. For only $3,000. At this point he had been in my house for 2 hours, my kids were tired of sitting quietly and it was dinner time. I wanted him out of the house! So, sure ...
