My theology was messed up.... and restored!!!!!

We are walking through a series at our church right now, General Electric Power Company- Galations Ephesians Phillipians and Colossisans! It has been SOOOOOO Good and we had Pastor Olen come and give a message on Galations 2 and WOW talk about a message that will make you fall to your knees and capture your heart all at the same time! It rocked my "christian" walk and I feel like I have a new mind and restored heart!!! A-MAZING!!!!
I wanted to post the link in case anyone needs their boat rocked :)

"I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which i now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."- Galations 2: 20

Hebrew translation:
20 When the Messiah was executed on the stake as a criminal, I was too; so that my proud ego no longer lives. But the Messiah lives in me, and the life I now live in my body I live by the same trusting faithfulness that the Son of God had, who loved me and gave himself up for me.

Did you know in the Jewish Bible the word Faith is translated to Trust!!! Try reading your Word substituting "Trust" for "Faith!" You might see things a little different like I did :) 

God Bless You all today and pray you are touched by this message like I was! 

Are we ready.....'

The other day I went to pick up my 5 year old from VBS and as we were walking out something grabbed his attention, and low and behold it was a little tiny newbie.....Gavyn grabbed me by the arm and said "mom, that's the kind of baby I pray God will give you! Can you go over there with me to look at the baby?" Still stunned at what my 5 year old just said out loud to me, I found myself taking him over to see this little bitty baby. As we were walking out of the church I'm thinking to myself, "that was so sweet how he wanted to go look at that baby and just stare at it..." Then he says again, " Mommy I'm praying you get pregnant with a baby and mom your not pregnant yet, but once you get pregnant I will have to wait a long time, like 6 weeks or something, so we really shouldn't wait very long." "WHAT, WHERE IS THIS KID COMING FROM!?? WHY DOES HE WANT ANOTHER BABY?!!" I literally found myself kind of taken back by this, but felt I had to say something to him, and this is all i could think about saying... "Gavyn if we had another baby you would have to be the biggest helper and change its diapers and feed it a bottle and dress and play with him/ or her. Mommy would need lots of help and you remember you prayed for it!" WHAT, who says that?! LOL!!! For the next hours I found myself laughing at my response to him and still in awe of his sweet desires! I do know why my 5 year old wants another baby brother and sister (which by the way, last night he said he wants both and is praying i have a boy and a girl! AHHH!!!) it is simply because my little Gavyn is such a lover and sweetheart and he just wants another sibling to love! Gavyn has always been so loving and gentle and sweet, and going to make the BEST husband one day! I'll never forget that little 2 year old looking up at me with his Big Blue Eyes, hand on my shoulder saying, " Mommy when I grow up, I want to marry you! Your so beautiful!" Melted my heart then, and still does today!!!!
I SO want my children to have the desires of their heart....
But how much more does Jesus want to give His little children the desires of their hearts.....!!!
"Lord, Are we ready...??!!!!"

A New, Clean, Fresh Start!

Today is a new day and hopefully the beginning of something great! I haven't blogged in awhile, and I cant make any promises I will do good at it now :) Time is of the essence and Time to myself is a rare jewel; with 6 pairs of active legs running around, 6 little hands up to no good, 3 rather loud, hungry mouths, and 3 little precious hearts, minds, bodies, and souls; that need to be Loved, Touched, Cared for, shaped, molded, and scolded! This is just another day in the Life of A stay at home mom with two lads and a lady!

I am a mom with a husband working a lot of 12 hour shifts, so I have most evenings after I put the kids to bed where I have "me" time; usually, I spend that time relaxing, cleaning up after the mess from the day, making my phone calls, cleaning out my inbox, or spending sweet time with my Father in His Word! I have Very Recently (last night at 2am) stumbled upon a blog that inspired me so much so, I opened up my dusty account and  am going to try and clean up the mess, fill up the empty spots, and share what Inspires me most in my life; my kids!

Here we go.... me and my cup of Joe and Many, many stories to be told!
