So I looked everywhere for a cowboy costume for my almost 2yr old little boy and came up wanting! Either they were black and white cow or 2T that where huge!!!! So I decided to make my own! I went to a local fabric store and the lady there was very helpful and suggested a faux suede would do the trick! I got about 2/3 of a yard and it was plenty! So here is how I did it NO SEW! All you need is a hot glue gun and scissors plus your suede and 1yd of elastic!!!!<br />

Now for the fun part, get your hot glue gun ready!!! You are going to hem up the edges of your chaps (all but the outside edges) with your hot glue gun. Put a line of hot glue along the edge of you chaps and fold over press down and let dry.<br />

And now you can add any and all decor you want. I am going to find a sheriffs badge and maybe a little more fringe! But that is it! It fits great and looks great. As of right now I have no pics of my little guy wearing it because I put it on him right after nap and he was having none of the picture taking! But I will post them as soon as I get pics of them on. Here is a tip for putting the chaps on: go ahead and put the chaps on the jeans then put the jeans on your little cowboy!<br />

This is our favorite item this summer! The Puddle Jumper!</div>
<div style="color: #76838b; text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #76838b; text-align: right;">
It is approved by the US Coast Guard as a flotation device for kiddos.</div>
<div style="color: #76838b; text-align: right;">
My little tot is 16 months and he loves the freedom that this device gives him.</div>
<div style="color: #76838b; text-align: right;">
I love it because it does not force him face down in the water.</div>
<div style="color: #76838b; text-align: right;">
He learned very quickly how to lean back and wet his hair and maneuver himself in the water.</div>
<div style="color: #76838b; text-align: right;">
He weighs 23 lbs and the wt on the packaging is 30 lbs. </div>
<div style="color: #76838b; text-align: right;">
However I found that it fits him snuggly and it takes mommy power to </div>
<div style="color: #76838b; text-align: right;">
get the "armies" off. </div>
<div style="color: #76838b; text-align: right;">
The device clips in the back and is adjustable and fits my little guy just right.</div>
<div style="color: #76838b; text-align: right;">
You can find these online at Walmart or Amazon. Buy Buy Baby in stores.</div>
<div style="color: #76838b; text-align: right;">
Of course never allow your child to be near water unsupervised.</div>
<div style="color: #76838b; text-align: right;">
1000 children die each ear from drowning.</div>
<div style="color: #76838b; text-align: right;">
Please always have your eyes on your child near water.</div>
<div style="color: #76838b; text-align: right;">
Happy and safe swimming!</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">I wanted to share with you a yummy Summer treat! I recipe for Cold Stone's Cake Batter Ice Cream. {Insert squeal here} My hubs was super excited to try this and the final vote was a perfect match! I will tell you that you can make this in an electric ice cream maker or just your regular freezer. So go ahead and try it and see what you think.</span></h3>

The girl in the mirror may not resemble the girl in your wedding pictures. Her once stylish hair is now kept in a pony tail. She squeezes in the shower when she can. If her baby naps, she may put on a cute outfit. Look at those dark circles under her eyes! And let's not even mention the extra 15 lbs she's carrying.<br />
Reality check: pregnancy, birth, midnight feedings, and parental anxiety don't make us more beautiful; unless we measure beauty differently.<br />
If you look close at that girl in the mirror, you'll see new laugh lines. She radiates a warmth she never knew before. She is not someone's favorite person in the whole world. Can you accept her?<br />

Pray: My Creator, I live in such an appearance-driven world, and I confess that I spend too much time wishing I looked more beautiful. Please help me to take good care of myself without obsessing over it. Help me to accept myself and see myself as you see me. Continue to pray as the spirit leads you, or just sit quietly in God's presence.<br />

Luke 1:28</h3>

<span class="text Luke-1-28" id="en-NIV-24922" style="font-size: large;"><sup class="versenum" style="font-weight: bold; line-height: normal; vertical-align: top;">28 </sup>The angel went to her and said, </span><br />
<span class="text Luke-1-28" style="font-size: large;">“Greetings, you who are highly favored! </span><br />

<br />
This week of bazaar events has me stepping back and looking at how blessed that I am. Not only with the event in Colorado, but the every day headlines can be overwhelming. The rarity of the times is on us and yet when I look around there is so much to be thankful for.<br />
Sunday I shared on the face book group page that it was "Shout Out Sunday". An opportunity to share how awesome God has been in your life. Several of you posted and shared about His goodness, grace and mercy. So what makes one so blessed and "highly favored"?<br />
Simply learning to love God with your everything and looking to Him for all your needs. As a child of God who believes in the Lord Jesus as their Savior, you are automatically adopted into the "highly favored" group of the family. Even when it feels that the rug has been pulled out from under you and your world is spinning out of control... you are favored.<br />
We all have something to be thankful for and praise Him for. If you only have the breath in your lungs, that's enough to praise Him. I want to encourage you today to begin to praise Him for His goodness to you and all that He has done for you. It will revive your soul and give you a fresh perspective on any situation. We are only carnal living in a sinful world, learning to understand the spirit realm that is so far beyond what we can ever imagine. Keep in mind that as you praise Him and call on His name the enemy must flee.<br />

Remember the Scripture that says, "A matter becomes clear after two or three witnesses give evidence"? On my second visit I warned that bunch that keeps sinning over and over in the same old ways that when I came back I wouldn't go easy on them. Now, preparing for the third, I'm saying it again from a distance. If you haven't changed your ways by the time I get there, look out. You who have been demanding proof that Christ speaks through me will get more than you bargained for. You'll get the full force of Christ, don't think you won't. He was sheer weakness and humiliation when he was killed on the cross, but oh, he's alive now—in the mighty power of God! We weren't much to look at, either, when we were humiliated among you, but when we deal with you this next time, we'll be alive in Christ, strengthened by God.</span><div style="font-size: 16px;">
<sup class="versenum" id="en-MSG-12359" style="font-size: 0.75em; font-weight: bold; line-height: normal; vertical-align: top;">5-9</sup>Test yourselves to make sure you are solid in the faith. Don't drift along taking everything for granted. Give yourselves regular checkups. You need firsthand evidence, not mere hearsay, that Jesus Christ is in you. Test it out. If you fail the test, do something about it. I hope the test won't show that we have failed. But if it comes to that, we'd rather the test showed our failure than yours. We're rooting for the truth to win out in you. We couldn't possibly do otherwise.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
We don't just put up with our limitations; we celebrate them, and then go on to celebrate every strength, every triumph of the truth in you. We pray hard that it will all come together in your lives.</div>

<sup class="versenum" id="en-MSG-12360" style="font-size: 0.75em; font-weight: bold; line-height: normal; vertical-align: top;">10</sup>I'm writing this to you now so that when I come I won't have to say another word on the subject. The authority the Master gave me is for putting people together, not taking them apart. I want to get on with it, and not have to spend time on reprimands.</div>

<sup class="versenum" id="en-MSG-12361" style="font-size: 0.75em; font-weight: bold; line-height: normal; vertical-align: top;">11-13</sup>And that's about it, friends. Be cheerful.

Let's just say last Summer my skin didn't see much of the sun with a 16 week old attached to me. Now that it's the end of July I'm ready to change up my brunette locks.<br />
I have to tell you my hair stylist has ombre hair and I just wasn't sure about it when I first saw it. I thought she had lost it or just neglected her locks, but I new better and figured it was a new style that I had missed the fashion flash. The pictures below will help explain "ombre hair" and I'm totally digging it.<br />

Then we land our seats in church to then lead us to the Sunday lunch table with full bellies and sleepy eyes. Just going through the motions not bothering to look around when we are standing in line at Target or at the pool with the kids. Letting every day roll by faster than the previous.</span></div>

<span class="text Heb-12-1" id="en-NIV-30214">What exactly is the "mark"? It is a different trail for all of us, but the "Mark" is still the same. Jesus is our ultimate goal, to live like Him and love like Him and think like Him. Somewhere in the middle of the race we forget the "Mark". Dr. Cindy Trim puts it into perspective for us below.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">"Some of the most prevalent and misunderstood things that keep people from running with purpose and certainty are the toxic thoughts and lethal strongholds within their souls— memories of painful experiences, destructive habits, emotional attachments, misplaced desires, limiting beliefs, and narrow objectives undermine purpose, meaning, and lasting fulfillment. Unaddressed, these things will cause you to go through life feeling weighed down. Unidentified, such things will continuously burden your soul, and sometimes take the wind right out of your sails so you find yourself floating a drift with no shoreline in sight. Now more than ever, at this time in history, God’s people must “lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us” (Heb. 12: 1 NKJV). The weights that tie you down not only make you vulnerable to sin, but also cause you to acquire maladaptive sets of behaviors that keep you stagnated and going around in circles. These patterns derail you from fulfilling your dreams and cause you to abort your purpose so eventually you leave this earth never fully realizing your potential. Not only that, but when you are unable to break free, you keep those around you bound up as well. You become part of the problem rather than the solution. You join the ranks of blind leading the blind. Jesus asked His disciples, “Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into the ditch?” (Luke 6: 39 NKJV). You become the hurting who hurts and the disappointed who disappoints."</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">Trimm, Cindy (2011-10-20).

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">"Sadly, many of us are so self-absorbed we have become deaf and desensitized to the cries of others who long for the same freedom and relief that we do. Perhaps we, being imprisoned in our minds, are unable to help anyone else simply because we lack the ability to help ourselves."</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">Trimm, Cindy (2011-10-20).

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">"Where you are now is a direct result of every decision you have made in the past. In other words, the life you are living today— the state of your relationships, the joy and peace you are experiencing, or the sorrow and pain— finds its root in decisions you have made up until this present moment. Your life is simply a representation of the sum total of your choices— choices that either enslave or save your soul. Think about that for a moment. Ultimately, you are only one decision away from changing everything. One decision can change the trajectory of your life."</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">Trimm, Cindy (2011-10-20).

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">"My highest calling and greatest reward in life is launching you into a new level of victorious and joyous living by establishing you in the knowledge of the truth of God’s Kingdom— knowledge that will set you free regardless of the unfortunate events, decisions, or relationships you’ve been bound by in the past. Jesus promised His disciples, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8: 32 NIV). The truth will set the real you— the divinely created you that has been held captive— free from the limitations of your unsaved, enslaved soul! Let’s get started unlocking the real you! The power for authentic leadership, Havel tells us, is found not in external arrangements but in the human heart. Authentic leaders in every setting— from families to nation-states— aim at liberating the heart, their own and others’, so that its powers can liberate the world. —Parker Palmer Embrace this kingdom life and don’t doubt God, you’ll not only do minor feats like I did… but also triumph over huge obstacles (Matthew 21: 21)."</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">Trimm, Cindy (2011-10-20).

Growing up at the beach it is one of my favorite places to be and I am so excited to get to go back to the beach this summer! Last year C was too little for me to really enjoy the beach! As soon as we would get there he would shovel sand into his mouth and eat it by the bucket full! It drove me crazy so I just stopped going to the beach last year, but this year he is a beach bumb and so am I again!!! Here are my few beach-bumb tips!<br />
1. Sunscreen! Make sure to protect those babies and yourself<br />
2. Pack snacks and sippy cups- the sand and sun makes them so thirsty<br />
3. Get a small baby pool- this was my most brilliant move for the beach!<br />
<br />
I saw a lady last year do this with her toddler and I made a mental not to do it this year! I thought it was the best mom move ever!!! Just buy a small pool (they have them at the Dollar Store and Toys R Us) and tote it down to the beach!<br />

I just tote it down to the beach and then put it right down to the shore, fill it with a little beach water and let the baby have a blast! This method has provided ME with hours of beach time and I am so thankful to be back on the beach again! So if you are planning any beach trips this summer just remember to pack the pool! </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:10 NLT)</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> A Masterpiece...how about a master mess! That is how I feel some days. Nothing goes as "planned" and what use to take me 20 minutes to do now takes 2 hours. My day unfolds as it happens and to a girl who likes a plan it can be difficult to accept. My day is not my own.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Truth is... it never was, and never will be again. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Once reading the Ephesians 2:10 verse I realize He knew my days would unfold as they do. I am created in His image as His masterpiece, no matter what my day looks like. No matter if the only thing checked off my list is feed the baby, change diapers and dinner on the table, that is how his masterpiece looks for me in this season. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">5 Min</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Father, today is not my own, it is yours. Take it and make it what you want it to be. Use me to reveal your masterpiece in me. Allow me to step back and give you control of this day, because it is your's after all. As I serve you while raising my children, show me what your will looks like in the small things. Because I know in the small things your details become greater than I can ever imagine. Continue to pray as the Holy Spirit leads you, or just sit in His presence. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Although sites like Pinterest can make you feel inadequate and like the not so DIY diva, you in deed are a masterpiece to Him. As a mother the most important thing we can do for our children is serve God first. The Proverbs women described in the verse understood that everything of consequence was wrapped up in him. Her service to others was a natural extension of serving him. The thing is, we aren't naturally unselfish servants, but God has made each of us a new creation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"> The old has gone, the new is here!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">(2 Corinthians 5:17)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Because Christ has changed us, we can serve others unselfishly. This change is a daily process. You as a mother touch lives every day. You touch the lives of your children and husband and in this season that is most important. I encourage you to simplify your life when your children are little, by saying "no" more when asked to volunteer for things or help out. I know this is the unnatural thing to do, especially if you are a "yes" girl, but think about how your "yes" impedes on your family. Saying yes to it all does not mean your more effective for the kingdom; sometimes saying no is. Completely opposite of how our carnal minds are formed. Even more difficult when your "normal" is always lending a helping hand. Be careful to serve your God first, family second and your church third. This is the role model we see in the Proverbs 31 women. Make sure you first give time to God. Your children will pick up on that importance and one day mimic your behavior. </span></div>

<br />
With Mother's Day this coming weekend I wanted to point out the importance of the role model we become and are as mother's. "Mom's know best" right? From baby gates to curfews, our designed rules and boundaries are for their good. In the same way, our heavenly Father designed rules for our good. Do we obey him the way we want our children to obey us? Do we trust that he knows what's best for us, even when we don't like his boundaries? Guess who's watching? Out children notice whether or not we obey God and with what attitude we do so. Imagine the effect on your children when you choose to openly and happily obey God in front of them, when you choose to be the model you want them to follow.<br />

My Father, I believe that you want the best for me and that your rules are designed for my good. Show me how I can openly and happily obey you today. Help me to set an example for my children to follow, as I follow the example of Christ. COntinue to pray as the Spirit leads you or just sit quietly in God's presence.<br />

<span class="text Prov-31-28" style="position: relative;">Be blessed this week as you take on the position of a role model that a mother so greatly possesses. As I pray for you and your children as you read this devotional I encourage you today. You have been given a gift beyond measure and we are to honor God with our gifts. It is our responsibility to raise our child(ren) in his ways and in discipline. Children are born sinners (Psalm 51:5) and they need us to guide them. I want to encourage you in knowing that in doing this hard task as a loving mother it will bring peace to your family (Proverbs 29:17). Try with all your might to be fair (Ephesians 6:4) and encourage as you discipline (Colossians 3:21) to avoid the feeling of bitterness. I pray for Wisdom and discernment on you as you go today. It is a hard decision on how to discipline and the second guessing that sweeps in behind that. Seek his word first and you will find the answers to leading your children. Remember the instruction book to our children is his Word. I want to encourage you to feel guided and directed to find the answers to being the role model you want to be for your children in the Bible for yourself. Each child is different and will need different approaches. Keep that in mind or else you may become frustrated with your outcome.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">Whatcha Listening To?</span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"> I often need to revisit my slightly embarrassing lesson of “Whatcha listening too?” Although I’m pretty sure it isn’t a lesson just for special needs parents. Like many others, I am susceptible to passively allowing things to enter my mind. In fact, it is the basis for a popular game with Emily, our daughter, and Star, our niece. They start a song and without thinking twice I chime in. I don’t even realize that I’ve fallen into their sneaky little trap until I hear the giggles. By then it is too late and it can take hours or days to get that thing back out of my head.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">Though I didn’t realize it, the “Whatcha Listening To?” lesson started early one day while at the water park. Of course they play catchy upbeat music because they want you upbeat so that you continue to return to the park. When we returned home everyone was getting their showers and I started cleaning the kitchen. As I’m standing at the sink lip synching and bopping to the song in my head, I hear Emily, then 12, giggle and ask, “Whatcha listening to?” Not only wasn’t it a praise song of adoration to our amazing God, it was a song that would have brought even greater embarrassment had it been audibly coming out of my mouth.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">While my mind was completely boggled at the song I had chosen to pay homage to, God, of course, turned it into a life lesson. I had been in the habit of entertaining some other thoughts that were equally embarrassing. All of my doubts, fears, and what-ifs were a glaring assault on either God’s abilities or His intentions. Insulting either way, so He began to show me that I couldn’t afford to passively let Satan plant thoughts of his choosing in my mind, much like I allow Emily and Star to plant songs.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">“But God I don’t intentionally go searching for negativity to focus on. It just kind of happens.” He reminded me of a sermon I had heard on “taking captive” the thoughts that go against His Word and how it was an act of aggression. 2 Corinthians 10:5 certainly paints it as anything but passive.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge</span></span></div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"> of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></div>
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">2 Corinthians 10:5</span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Of course, God in His infinite wisdom picked the most appropriate song to bring about this lesson, “Oops, I Did I Again” by Brittney Spears. Now as I find myself entertaining thoughts of insecurity, worry, anger, and the million special needs “what-ifs,” all He really has to say is, “Oops!!” I just love God’s sense of humor. I suspect that if you review your thought life you would also be able to say, “I’m not that innocent.” ; )</span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"></span></div>

If you have little ones you know how quickly they can get into everything including the chemicals under the sink, and yes those are chemicals unless you clean with vinegar and water. Don't think because the medicines are out of reach now or that they are "child proof" that it will stop a relentless tot on their mission to explore. It is our job to keep them safe and not ignore what can happen.<br />
<br />
After our little scare with plavix and a trip to the ER for a charcoal milk shake, I went on ahead and added the poison control app to my phone. You can find it in the app store by searching "poison control" and it will be the first one to pop up and it will look like this...<br />

You never know when your going to need a # like this so download it now or store it in your phone. When the event arrises and you need the number, even if you know it like I do, you will not be able to think of it... trust me I had to run into CVS and ask the pharmacist and that was time waisted. Believe it or not, they had to pull it up on their iphones as they didn't have it readily available!<br />
<br />
Once you download the app it will ask you for your contact information. They too like calling 911 are able to access information to help speed up the process during an emergency. It is a quick link and with 2 taps you are in touch with a Nurse. These aren't just any nurses either. They are highly trained in poison control and there is a toxicologist there at all times for further reference. They take their job to the next level and they are awesome at what they do!<br />
<br />
Once we arrived at the ER the MD there knew who we were and all of what was going on because of the awesome nurse I had spoken to called and informed her. This was awesome! In these types of situations time is crucial!<br />
<br />
3 things that myself and my mother learned from our experience with E....<br />
<br />
1) lock it all up! even if it has a child proof lid... it's never child proof!<br />
<br />
2) Do not cause the child to vomit and do not give the child anything else by mouth if there is a possible poisoning. <br />
<br />
I had to explain this one to my mom, so I will elaborate here. If they vomit it can do more harm than good, even if your trying to retrieve something out of their mouth. If you give fluids to "wash it down" your only sending it farther down into their system. Whereas if they need to drink charcoal to absorb it they may refuse to take it or you may have pushed it down into their system and there is nothing in the stomach to absorb. Makes since right?<br />
<br />
3) As soon as you deliver...download the app or enter the 1800-222-1222 into your phone. You never know when a poisoning may occur. It's not just with chemicals either, it could be with tylenol or ibuprofen too! Always check the dose on your bottle with the doctor to verify. Several recalls have occurred because of the varying concentrations of tylenol and ibuprofen and mom's are overdosing their kids because of it.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hope this helps. If you have questions you can message me on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jennifer.nyob" target="_blank">FB</a> or email me at houseon31main@live.com <br />

telling how long. It is not like I have forgotten Him, I just haven’t had the time to breathe yet alone sit down and have an efficient quiet time everyday. I’m doing all the good and right things, being a good wife, mom, church volunteer, and friend I’m just not doing them with the right focus in mind. I’m so busy doing all the good things I am “supposed” to do I have forgotten the one I do them for! Then I find myself in the place I am at right this very moment! Tired, Frustrated, exhausted, weary, un-focused, short, argumentative, impatient, and just plain SPENT! Physically, emotionally, and spiritually spent. The thing is I’m surprised every time I get to this place and rack my brain to figure out why only to realize the spiritual part is taking a toll on the physical and emotional part. Now I am not saying if you do a quiet time every day that things wont go wrong or you wont get busy I am just saying with God as the center and focus of your life then He shows up and walks with you in those crazy times as well as the good times! So after I have my moment of surprise in the shower as to what is out of whack in my life I know exactly what I have to do!

One thing that's certain about life is that it's uncertain. We aren't promised a tomorrow. That's why it's crucial that we spend our time investing in what really matters today. We must constantly remind ourselves of what is eternal and what is temporary. TIme clocks must be punched, and laundry must be done, but people are far more important than running a business or maintaining the perfect house.
Remind yourself to invest in your family. Eliminate a commitment that unnecessarily takes you away from those you love. Finally, set aside and protect family time. Quality time with your family has to be planned; it won't just happen.<br />
<br />

Pray: Lord Jesus, I know that life is short; help me to invest in what really matters: the people you have given me to love. Help me say no to extra commitments and to not try to please everyone, so that I have time and energy for the people I love most. Continue to pray as the Spirit leads you, or just sit quietly in God's presence.<br />

<span class="woj"> I was reminded of these scriptures while sitting in and emergency room with my son this past week. I was on my way to meet someone concerning the tile in our new home when my mother called me and said, "E has swallowed some of my Plavix." To which my reply was a deep, "What!" She then went on to explain that he had found her child proof bottle and was sitting in the living room floor with one in his mouth. She wasn't sure how many he had taken. My heart stood still. I slammed on the brakes and turned around to go get him. I knew we were headed to the ER as I was calling poison control on my phone. I knew this could be bad. There isn't an antidote for this medication and we could possibly be looking at a pretty long stay at the hospital. This could be life altering for my child. The world stopped.</span><br />
<span class="woj"> Once there we were given 12oz of charcoal mixed with chocolate milk to attempt to have E consume in a 20-30 min period. He was smiling and showing off his new black 6 teeth smile in no time. The chocolate milk was yummy and it was lunch time; he was a happy boy and so was mommy. The outcome in my head prepared me for the worst as any "nurses mind" would do, but the reality is he was going to be fine. Although it could have been bad...really bad.</span><br />
<span class="woj"> Yesterday was Easter Sunday. I spent all day with my family. Snapping away at the pictures of every member of my family that I was around. I know that we aren't promised tomorrow and although that is scary in a since, I know that my Redeemer lives. I know that eternal life is the outcome. I also know that death hurts. Our human minds don't have the capability to grasp the concept of eternal life and what it must be like. So we are left with questions of what is to come for us and fear of not having tomorrow. </span></div>
I say all of this to tie the two together with the commonality of death and life. Investing in your family is priceless. You can never regain those moments. They past by and will never be relived again. I encourage you to seek your heart and your calendar to clear out what isn't eternal. I look at things in the matter of "Is this going to burn? or will this be with me in heaven?" Make time for the important things and try to avoid becoming consumed with the craziness of life. Pick up the phone and call your cousin that has been on your mind. Reach out to those who mean the most to you and most importantly put your family first. You will not regret it, I'm sure of it!<br />
<br />
<br />
Blessings!<br />

One of my concerns was with my laundry soap. So I started buying draft and other dye free all natural laundry soap, but this started getting REALLY REALLY expensive! So I went to a class to learn how to make all my own cleaning products. The laundry soap has by far been my favorite of the products I make. It is so easy to make and it works great. I have a 16month old son so I have tons of messes to wash away and the stuff really works. You still need to pre-treat stains but it works great. You will also want to continue to use fabric softener. There are recipes for softener online that you can make but I have not found one that I like yet. So here is your Thrifty Thursday for the week!

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Isaiah 46:10</span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I made known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. </span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I say, “My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I am not one for suspense. If Wes and I are watching a movie with the least bit of suspense in it, I have to know that the star survives the stressful scenes or I’m not watching it. I don’t want to be riveted or on the edge of my seat. I want to sit back, relax, and wait on the happy ending. I’m even less of a suspense fan when it comes to the outcome of my family. I want to know that their faith will survive the emotional bumps and bruises along the way.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Four years ago our then 15 year-old daughter, Emily, was in the middle of a 14 month battle with constant migraines. Her young heart had already endured 4 years of missed milestones with the little brother she prayed into the world. She had already heard, “I’m sorry Em, we can’t.” far more times that I would have liked. I couldn’t imagine how her young faith could recover, especially since my own faith was wavering. I wish I could have skipped forward to 2012 to see how God would work it all out. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Today she is a freshman at a Christian University where she is double majoring in Bible and Communications. I often get calls from her saying, “Hey Mama, Can I share what God is showing me?” Here is what she called to share last month:</span></div>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p> </o:p></span><br />
<div align="center" class="Body" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><em>Evangelism and Discipleship Spoken Testimony</em> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Body" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><em> </em><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><em> God’s promises for us are so vast and so incredible but the promise of Mephibosheth’s story has perhaps been one of the most personal and exciting for my life. Mephibosheth. An interesting name, a small character in the bible, but a man with radical transformation. Grandson of Saul, Mephibosheth was Jonathan’s crippled son. When Mephibosheth entered the king’s presence he bowed down before him. Can you imagine all that it must have taken his weak and frail body to get down onto his hands and knees? It would have taken all he had. Crippled people during biblical times were often considered shameful and disgusting but one of the coolest twists to this story is that the name Mephibosheth means “shame destroyer” and “image breaker.” When he fell down before the king, David invited him in to be one of his sons to eat with him at his table.The fact that he was accepted by the King with a name that meant “shame destroyer” shows God’s mighty hand at work.</em> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> <em>God grabbed my heart as I was reading this story. I have an adorable little eight year old brother named Ryan who has cerebral palsy. He had a stroke before he was born and now endures painful therapy, seizures, and monthly treatments. There is great promise that he will grow and improve in strength; however, this very minute Ryan would be considered crippled. I began to think about Ryan and God showed my heart that all Ryan has to do is use every bit of energy he has to fall before God, like Mephibosheth fell before the king, and he will recognize him as his son and give him the strength to stand again. While people with special needs in today’s times aren’t considered as shameful as they used to be, Ryan is still treated differently. People often underestimate him and refuse to see his capabilities. Ryan’s name means bright-eyed, able, and strength. God is sovereign over the smallest detail like a name.</em> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> <em> </em><em>Through the story of Mephibosheth, God allowed me to be encouraged but taught me that we are all like Mephibosheth. At some point or another we have to use all that we have within us, to fall before the lord. We may endure humiliation and we may endure season of trial after trial, but when we come to God, our King, and acknowledge our weak and crippled state apart from him, he empowers us through his spirit to stand. I was once like Mephibosheth, broken and hopeless before the King. And now, I stand up again. Not resting in my own strength, but in the Father who created me. While I don’t have a nifty ironic name meaning like my brother or Mephibosheth, part of my name means “emulating” which is to imitate or reflect the character of another. That presents me with the challenge to emulate or reflect the one who made me. The story of Mephibosheth encouraged me in hope for my brother, challenged me to reflect the right things, and reminded me that we’ve all been broken before the Lord. I hope his story encourages you too. </em></span></div>
</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">From the beginning, God knew the end result of all that Emily would go through. Emily is right, there is no irony in her name; however, she failed to look up the meaning of her middle name, Michelle – godly woman and that she is, thanks to His plan.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As you look at today's struggles, just know that at some point in the future you will grasp the end result that He has been working on from the beginning!! You will see the Jeremiah 29:11 plan come together!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">God Bless!!!!</span><br />
