Marriage, Love & Prayer

Do you guys pray for your marriage? I never really thought about it until my marriage boat was rocked. Now I do it as often as possible. I pray alone, I pray with my husband, I ask others to pray for us. We need God in the center of our marriage. I always "knew" that per say, but I did not live it. I know I still have a ways to go in my relationship with our Heavenly Father but I am glad that it's on the way there. I am grateful to my husband for helping me dig deeper and yearn for MORE, for introducing me to different aspects of God, Jesus & the Holy Spirit. I am sure he has no idea I feel this way, maybe I will tell him one day!

I love & adore my husband. I know he sacrifices for us and would do anything for his family. He is not a perfect man by any means but his heart is good and that is all that matters (today lol).

Oops! It's been a while!

I cannot believe it's been 2 months since my last post! Time flies when you are having "fun"...

Well the last few months have been filled with excitement. We went to my husband's family reunion in Tarboro, NC. Driving with a 6 month old infant & a 2 year old high energy toddler for 8 hours is torturous but I learned a new skill... breastfeeding while in a moving car, WITHOUT removing infant from car seat Flame away...I had to do what I had to!  He does not take a paci and he just wanted to be comforted. We stopped many times but he was so sick of that car seat. Heck, I was sick of sitting in the car and I am an adult! Let's just say we are all glad that is over!

Then it was birthday & back to school season! We have lots of birthdays in August & September so we were busy every weekend with one or both. N started the 5th grade; craziness, I remember when  I met her & she was an adorable little 2 year old!! Now she is almost as tall as I am! A started Kindergarten and he seems to love it. We just need to get in a better routine for after school, it will come in time God willing. The littles (E & J) went back to daycare.

More birthdays are on their way this month (including mine). Kind of exciting and overwhelming all at once. I am just grateful to be able to see each new day! Tomorrow isn't promised so I try to remember that no matter how crazy my morning was or how bad the day is going, God gives us new mercies & grace so be GRATEFUL! Let's thank GOd that we don't have to do "that" over again...what ever "that" is ;-)
