Soldier On... Princess Warrior

We ARE daughters of the most high king!!! Wow... how awesome is that! Well I'm taking that theoretical and literal. I am a princess warrior! And my father God has a journey and a mission for me (and for you). I want/need to be prepared mentally (by as much knowledge as I can obtain), physically prepared ( by getting into shape and staying healthy-take care of God's temple), and spiritually (by staying in God's word, fellowship and worship). A warrior stays strong, prepared, and alert. That way the enemy has NO chance. As woman God has many things that he puts in our charge. We are WIVES, MOTHERS, FRIENDS, TEACHERS, servants, and so much more. As my favorite, Wife and Mother I pray for guidance, I want to be the kind of wife and mother that God wants me to be. I have had my own ideas of what that meant in the past, but God knows so much better what my husband and daughters need. And when you (I) finally are able to surrend control, trust,and obdience unto our father... OH wh

VIPs vs VDPs.....A great sermon on our inner circle, our friends that we depend on to walk through life with us. Through all those good and bad times. Are they Very Draining People who either aren't really there for you at all or just offer you the easy road. Do they really just drain you physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Or do you have the Very Inspiring People in your inner circle who always are ready to get down on a knee with you and pray. Understand you and validate you. Love you with compassion. Helping you to stay strong,not to give up! Keep you eyes on Jesus. It will be ok. It was an awesome message check it out on connectionwired.com or come visit us in person one Sunday @ connection Church.

Wow what a holiday! It was both stress free and chaotic at the same time. And now the new year, I feel the winds changing. Time for a new season, a new focus. We have to remember our trials and struggles to see our growth and understand where we need to grow and change. And of course I cherish all of the sweet memories with my family over the last year. I'm ready for a new adventure. And boy do I have one! I've started to homeschool my two youngest Malaina and Ellianna. God has blessed me with a differant perspective on things to help me refocus myself. And I think that I should make (I want to make) a few changes to my blog. Not sure how yet. But, look for changes or a new blog in the future.

Holding on to the PROMISES not the problems.... Wow, what a great service S unday ! Pastor Brad brought it home. It is so easy to focus on the problems when you think that your doing everything that you're supposed to do and everything is still going wrong. From the bills being overwhelming , the house not selling quickly, all three vehicles needing replaced, one child having health issues (minor), one with behavior problems and just feeling like you can't get on top of anything. Well, I've come to my father on bended knee. And I will hold to the promises that all of my needs will be meet, my family will be prosperous , and victorious !!

My poor baby.......... My oldest daughter Natasha (14) is home sick today. She's passed out on the couch. Fell asleep watching the Jo Bros. We got cable just in time. LOL, just last week! It was a rough night. She can't hold anything down. I pray that it passes quickly but, doesn't make the rounds. It's hard on mom when her babies are sick or hurt.

This is the Season... This is the season for learning, growing, and maturing for me. And I feel so blessed and excited! God is really doing so much in our lives right now. And especially in me. It's a humbling experience when you let your father mold you, have a teachable spirit and receive not only God's grace but also his correction. Steve and I (and the girls) have started a new church, a few months ago. Started Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University and will next week start the Love and Logic Parenting class. So, I keep you posted on how it all goes!

A another proud moment for mommy! Our beautiful Sydney "our Sydray " made her public confession of service as a believer in Christ through baptism this last Sunday. It brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. As she stood in an inflatable pool, with ice cold water, as the cool wind blew and the rain drizzled down. I know that this will be a moment that she will always remember. As will we her family and friends that love her. Just as the found memories of her birth, dedication, 1st birthday , and so on. Although there are days as a mom we cling to this "This too shall pass", some things pass too quickly for a mom. Those moments the bring a tear to your eye and joy to your heart.
