Update on the girls for the beginning of March

     Well today is March 1st and what a productive day it has been. I spent it cleaning the laundry room, new tile and a fresh coat of crisp clean light grey paint! I love a fresh painted room! So what I learned today while painting 1, I NEED LOCKS on my cabinets, ha ha Kamber'Lynn decided to bring me the BIG BAG OF CEREAL and say "bite bite" ha ha needless to say she had just finished lunch but i guess she was still hungry. lol Then while driving to get a sweet tea I was eating a pickle and my dear 16 month old kept saying bite so I gave her a bite needless to say she ate the ENTIRE PICKLE and THREW A FIT when it was GONE! ha ha CRAZY CHILD!
     As far as my older 3 Kaylah and RaeLeigh had basketball practice today and love it. Kaylah is over 200 points not for A.R, reading so she will get her chair at the end of the year RaeLeigh has 146 AR points so she should make 200 and be able to get her chair as well! For those of you dont know thats a HUGE deal each book they read is worth a half a point so basically they have to read 400 books to get their chair at the awards ceremony! They also both have perfect attendance for the year so far. YEA Another MAJOR accomplishment they havent been horribly sick this year! PRAISE GOD!!!!!
     As far as Kylie well that child has grown like crazy she is learning to write her name and stay in the lines like she suppose to and learning to color in the lines! my baby girl isnt a baby any more! I cant believe in 2 1/2 Months she will graduate pre-k! She is so excited to move to Mrs Roses Room!  She says every day "MOM I'll be 5 soon and I get to go to Kindergarten!" LOL So grown up!
Well I guess thats about it for today just an update on the girls!

life part 2

Each day we have here is a gift, tomorrow is and was and never will be promised. A friend of mine wrote this and it truly inspired me to really think on my actions! Each day we have here is a gift, tomorrow is, was and never will be promised. Are you living today like this is your last? Am I living like there is no tomorrow??? Sadly no, not everyday. Matthew 10:32-33 tells us in black and white "Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. but whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven." Today I am going to acknowledge Him before myself, before my thoughts, before my words, before my actions so one day I will be acknowledged in front of His Father...thats what I want. I want to love Him and to serve Him....and to do that we MUST become diligent and intentional with every step we take in our day, because who knows, this may be all we have left and we not even know it.

Life

Wow what an Amazing Gift!!! God gives us life within an instant we are formed. He tells us in his word before you were ever concieved I knew you. I nitted you together in your mothers womb! Wow what a deep profounding thought. God the creator of the universe knew me before i was even conceived. He tells us in Jeremiah 29:11 "I know the plans I have for you declairs the Lord, plans to prosper and not fail plans to give you hope and a future." Wow so why is so many people are failing in this world, so many people are lost and hurting. It breaks my heart to see people dont know my God personally as their lord and savior and as there friend. Life can be taken away from us so quickly. We are not promised tomarrow so why is it people take forgranted today? After fallowing the Staat family blog and seeing their perfectly healthy 4 month old baby just stoped breathing it really made me cherrish my own children. I mean only 4 short months of this little girl being on earth she was taken back to Heaven. My heart hurs for that family but it got me thinking even more. How much more does way r heavenly fathers heart hurt when we are lost and have no way of returning to him. We all have a choice to make butthis made me realize how important it is to make that choice now. Not tomarrow not next month or even in a couple years, age is not a factor on when our lives will end. I love the saying "sieze the day", "live like you were dying." No one knows the day nore the hour of his return or the moment you will draw your last breath. So with that said are you living the Christ like example you want people to see? Do people see your actions the way they would if Christ were standing before you? just something to think about. Do we live to lives or are we real in who we are?

Just food for thought!
  

Reflecting Back

So I have decided to start blogging so that I can start remembering things that happen as my kids grow and have things go on in their lives. Also so that I can use my enjoyment of writing. Bear with me guys this is my first time as a blogger so I hope you all enjoy!
