A new day! I love that each day is new. I don't have to think about what happened yesterday or what is going to happen tomorrow. I just deal with today. I think that is the biggest thing that has changed since staying at home with baby. At work I would always stress about the next day but things have changed now, and for that...I am THANKFUL!
Carson has changed so much over this last month. We went from the army crawl, to a real craw with in a day. Then the next day we went to pull yourself up on everything and stand forever. Then the next week we went from standing to walking while holding onto the couch...table...toy bin...window....mirrors...table...everything in the whole house! Yes, even the garbage can! It is so exhausting but I am so thankful for him. He will be 8 months in 9 days...where on earth did the time go? I remember sitting here a couple months ago anxiously awaiting the day that he would crawl so that he would be less fussy. Now, I miss those days where he would just lay there, I could get a lot more done that is for sure! Oh well...he is just too darn cute to complain :)
You know what else I am thankful for? A loving God. I have found God more and more each day and I am so in love with it! It really makes me excited to get up and be in the word. Today in my book, it talks about trusting God. When we trust God, we can relax and enjoy life! Just think about all the problems in your life that you stressed and worried about, now think of how they all worked out. Why do we spend SO much time stressing about things that we can't control? I need a constant remind to LET GO AND LET GOD. We need to stop worrying and stop complicating our life by trying to figure out everything. God will give us the answers, so let's let go of our problems today and be THANKFUL for trusting God :)
Mmmm...coffee :)
Here I sit, finally able to blog again. At first I said to myself, oh I will keep up with my blog...I will write every day. Well that doesn't seem to be happening :/ I am working on a new nap schedule with the baby and it has taken a lot out of me to say the least! Normally he takes three thirty minute naps so I don't even have time to sit, but now he is getting used to taking two hour and fifteen minute naps. What a relief! Still fine tuning the awake times between each nap though. None the less, it will leave me more time to blog :)
So something special happened to me this week that I wanted to share because it makes me heart leap with joy! I was going over our finances wondering how we were going to make our bills this month and just flat out stressing. I tend to do this a lot and I am ashamed to say that the last thing that comes to my mind is to pray about it. Well friends, this time it was the first thing that came to my mind! So there I am, on my knees praying for God to provide...and LITERALLY moments later my phone goes, DING! I had a new e-mail. I love new emails because usually it means that I made a sell on Etsy. Sure enough, I did. It had been almost a month since my last sell. Yes...yes...it was only $6.00 but in that moment, I felt God. I just knew that he was letting me know that he WILL provide, no.matter.what. Awww I still smile at this :) And God wasn't done yet. I sign into my online bank account and I see "Bank adjustment- $200.00".
....??
I have never seen anything like that in my LIFE. Pure God. He is SOOOO powerful and is a constant reminder for us to JUST HAVE FAITH. He WILL provide.
*Pray, pray, pray and he will listen*
