Tackle it Tuesday-Tackling rejection
Yesterday i had worked on a Tackle project took the pictures and well was ready to post last night. However we received a phone call from the head of the pulpit committee y husband and I have been communicating with over the last 4 months. I knew as soon as I heard the gentleman’s voice that it wasn’t going to be good. I took the phone to my husband. I left the room and went to put away more clothes When I went back he looked as though he were ready to cry. We had just spoken at the church two Sundays ago and the reception was wonderful. We really felt like this is where God was leading us. Now we are back to square one again. Please keep us in prayer as we very much felt a part of this church when we went there. I guess we have to go through a mourning process so to speak.. The people there were great. Our fears of being too young came to be I guess!
A saying to adjust the thinking!
No one is in charge of your happiness except you. That’s right and i have to admit that I have been letting my circumstances and the lack of thought..or at least what I think people should think of get to me. That used to be my motto but over the last few months and even years I have lost dight of my motto. Yes I am tired and yes I am bored in my stage of life bu tin the same respect I have been called to it and it is my responsibility to make the best of it. The motto is right I do need to control my moods and temper. Emotions are my responsibility too.. I have just forgotten how! As Christians we give pat answers..do devotions..pray.. spend time with the Lord..All that being said and DONE what is the next step in remembering how?
Sticky Kisses
wow I can’t believe it’s been almost a month since I last posted! It’s been extremely busy! I am no longer sick. Praise the Lord. I was beginning to be sick of being sick! I have been tired a lot so I have been trying to hit the sack early. I am very thankful that Tornado and Lady bug Play very well in their room while I try to get some other work around the house done!
We have also totally rearranged our house over the last month. Lady bug has begun to sleep in a toddler bed at night so she and tornado now share a room.! However I can’t imagine what nap time would be like.
So back to my title. Tornado scaled a gate this morning into our den and found a bag full of Candy that Ht and Rav rav sent home with us on Friday night…That would be his aunt and uncle who live 15 minutes away..He opened a piece and was having trouble with the paper when I found him..so I finished helping him and we went back to the kitchen where I made breakfast for him…As I lifted him into his booster seat He wrapped his arms around my neck and gave me a big hug and a very sticky kiss. It made me smile and think how wonderful it was to be loved so unconditionally. Many people who don’t have kids tend to think about how much trouble they can be..but what they are missing is the wonderful joy that kids bring to people’s lives because never can there be a simpler more unconditional love..It is so pure, and uncontaminated! It makes you smile with out realizing it. And then if you are a believer in Jesus Christ you see a unique picture of Jesus’ unconditional love and forgiveness. I can’t think of a better example that a child’s hug and a sticky kiss!
About to Scream!
Have you ever had one of “those days”? I have been having one of those days for the last two weeks and I am about to go batty! At last all three kids are down for a nap..yes at the same time! It started two weeks ago when I had the “vug” as Tornado refers to him. (If yoou are curious about that name go to your local library and get out “there’s a Wocket in my Pocket” by Dr. Suess, then maybe you’ll understand. We try to come up with a cute nickname for each kid to use on my blog. Tornado came up with this one. Ok so back to my frustration. I had the baby two weeks ago yesterday and that was torture enough. So I am recovering from that. Then one week after he was born I got Gastrointeritis (Sp?) and had to go to the ER to be re hydrated, So I am recovering from that. Then this last Monday (two days ago) I over did it in cleaning up some stuff and paid for it in the middle of the night….there is no need to rehash the gruesome details..So hubby gave me strict orders to do nothing..and he meant it for the next few days. I woke up Tuesday morning with this “burning desire to Pee. Yep you guessed it a bladder infection. Now I feel as though my world is falling down around me . With three kids and a dog the house is a disaster, I am chugging cranberry juice much to my dismay, and I can’t take any antibiotics or so I have been told because I am nursing the baby! Hubby put a chair in the dining room so i cold sit comfortably to nurse and keep the two toddlers gated in, but today while I was going to the bathroom tornado climbed the chair and got down a fall wreath decoration I had made last year…Needless to say the dog got a hold of it and it is in 5 pieces. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. I am over it now. Thanks for being patient in my rantings!
