Beautiful

We were at Target walking down the shoe isle. I was getting very irritated with Madi because she was not paying attention or minding me. She was pulling shoes off the rack and asking to buy every flip flop they make. My breaking point came when she laid down on the floor of Target. I turned around and with a very mean voice told her she needed to "get up off that floor NOW!!" I did not realize what she was doing until after I said that. She was lying on the floor looking at herself in the mirror they have on the shoe stools. You know the ones we sit on to try on our shoes and then look at our feet in the mirror. She was smiling at herself in the mirror and her response to me was "OK Mama, but I so beautiful." What could I say to that? I started laughing the second it came out of her mouth. She was soooo precious lying on that floor. Time stopped for me at that moment. I just watched her looking at herself and was reminded just how special she is to me.

New Job

Hello. I have not been posting because I just really haven't had much to say. I really want to give an update about this new journey our family is beginning. As most of you already know, I have a new job. I feel like I have been under spiritual attack ever since I decided to make this change. I know that it is what God has called us to for this time period. I have such a peace about this, and there are still a lot of unknowns. I am going to be working four days a week in the pediatric PACU. I will be working with kids after they come out of surgery and have to "recover" before they go back to their hospital room or home after day surgery. The events surrounding me getting this job could only have been from God. Please pray for us during this transition time.

This bible verse has been put on my heart and I would like to share.

James 1:5-6
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.6 But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

Yee Haw....and learn how to dress!

We went to the rodeo yesterday. Maybe it's because I am a mom now, or maybe because I am studying and realizing about Gods desire for women to be modest in our dress, but either way I need to let people know that wearing short shorts or short denim skirts with boots is SOOO not attractive. That style seems to always make a big comeback at rodeo time. I get the short shorts and skirts even though I don't agree, but what up with the boots combo? I did see one girl wearing a nice cotton brown dress and a tasteful pair of boots. Much more attractive than the other ensamble that most girls had on. But you want to know what's the funniest of all things. I was one of THOSE girls not too many years ago!!

I just want to see if this works
