My life today........


Right now I am...fighting for joy even though I have an intense sinus headache.

Outside my window... the sky is bright blue & the Florida sun is shining strong & HOT!

I am hoping.....that I will choose to be selfless today & take my girls outside to play & have fun even though I don't feel good.

I am thankful...that God arrested my heart 20 years ago & He gave me the grace to love Him!

I am smelling...my hazelnut coffee.

I just...sat on hold with the state of Florida for 45 minutes. UGH!

From the kitchen...cinnamon struesel muffins that I made my sweet girlies for breakfast.

I am wearing...a pink tank top & striped jammie shorts.

I am creating...a mess in an attempt to get MORE organized. Um.....how does THAT happen?

I am going... to put lots of clean laundry away today.

I am STILL reading..."Feminine Appeal" by Carolyn Mahaney.

I am thinking... how grateful I am that my 5 sweet little girls bring their Mama so much blessing & happiness every.....single.....day!

I am hearing...my incredibly adorable 6 month old baby girl blow raspberries & make her new favorite sound, "ga ga ga ga ga"!

Around the house...5 little girls that will someday have hubby's to love & respect, babies to cuddle & adore & homes to care for of their own! Talk about a sobering thought!

Some of my favorite things...knowing that God is working in my heart every day, even when it doesn't feel like it, my sweet Hubby who loves me even though I have SO many ways I need to grow & my 5 delicious baby girls who love me just how I am cause I'm their Mama!

Some of my plans for this week:

~ *NAPTIME* potty training my sweet little 2 year old
~ menu planning & grocery shopping
~ getting out of the house & playing with my girlies
~ putting all of our laundry away
~ *STILL* reading my book ~ "Feminine Appeal"
~ putting my amazing Hubby & sweet girls before myself in thought, word & deed. Endeavoring
to encourage, love, serve & ENJOY my family!
~ Trusting God to help me in everything I need to do. Relying on God for His strength & grace
to be the kind of Wife & Mommy that I desire to be.
