Becca's Random Moments

   Whew let me start off by this plane ride is BUMPY!!! ewwwww……….     well the weekend went good. Happy Halloween everyone. Brandon is doing very good and seems to be a little homesick. We had a great visit. Friday when we got there is was lunch time so he ate lunch and then we went to out first family counseling session. It went very well. The boys all had a service project to go do in town. So we went to a mans house that had lots of wood to put up against the house. we went back and spent the evening with Brandon in the boys dorm. Sat also went well and because it is the day of the Sabbath we had church and worship and then lunch then mostly free time. Spent a lot of time in the dorm ….played some football…sat on the porch swing. The it was PE time. Very much a learning experience for the boys. They have to play with integrity and if integrity gets lost then they stop and do something not so fun. We played for 2 hrs, dodge ball, medic, and another really fu...

      Well well well……could it have started any worse? I had my checklist I checked it twice and somehow I still manage to forget the most valuable asset of us traveling. We get to the airport all is good we went through security printed our passes in check in, we went through security…..don't even get me started on that. We get to our gate check in and the lady says “do you have your tickets” OH NO forgot them on the fire place. Can you say OOPS! I have a few people very angry at me. OOPS again. Gee and everyone thought I was perfect. LOL NOT!!..Well Dad told me I screwed up the whole morning a small (that is not going to work) guilt trip. I chose to state the facts  and said that it is fine I will get in a taxi and  I will come home get my tickets and take the next flight…Geesh people accidents happen….Well I am over my guilty feeling well not really but getting there. Sitting at the the air port at the Seattle Taproom outside seating area. To bad th...

   Well I feel the urge to take a few minutes and blog. Sharing God’s love is one thing I think we all should do and never fail to do. I wish when I was little someone would have sat me down more than once and did this with me. Perhaps my family did. I don’t remember a lot of my childhood as most do. I have blocks of memories, I have not a clue. I remember small things but not much. I wish no matter how hard I had it in the tough time of my teenage years that someone would have told me all about Jesus and what he did for “me” that no matter what I did he forgave me and I can change. I am sure that was not on everyone's mind at the time and family did what they could with what they had. For that I am thankful. I am thankful for the times I did have at a glimpse of God and life. I am more thankful that God knew and he was with me all the time. So as I listen to the Song by Sidewalk Prophets “The Words I Would Say” I think of my children, I think of Brandon. This is my song to th...

     Just another day, no I think not. Nothing to eventful which in my life that is a good deal. MOPS on Tuesday was great. We had a speaker from the Kent Police Dept. on personal safety. I really enjoyed that. It was great to see friends and have new ladies at our table. My Mentor Mom was gone so we got the delightful always eventful Patty. You gotta love that woman! On to Weds very busy day. Highlights of course we went to Courtney’s Halloween party at school. Posted some pics on FaceBook. We had a wonderful time and the kids were so cute. Seems to be a great bunch of parents this year that all seem to be really nice. Had a great time watching the kids decorate cookies in their costumes. Then it was off to Club 56 last night where we had a blast. 5th and 6th graders will always keep you on your toes. They also had some great costumes on!! Today is definitely a day I need to stay home. Being gone all week I am very behind in chores. So I have 6 hrs to get lots done ...

    Should I blog…..Shouldn't I blog???  Well I think I will skip for the day. On the upside…..Leaving for Idaho in 3 days!! so EXCITED. I am sure I will have lots to blog about so I will write when I can and post them all on Sunday….Happy almost Weds. everyone!

    Good Morning all! As I sit here with my cup of coffee in the quiet of the moment I think how nice it is to have quiet for a moment or two. Cameron is taking a rest as he was up at 530 am, Courtney is taking a nap and Tyler is watching football patiently waiting for the Seahawks to play. I have been thinking of my last two post and clearly I am not happy with my last one at all. However it is my imperfections that make this me. We are in a Home group we are reading “How to Reach Your Full Potential for God”…..It is rather good…..a little “deep” but good. So I am that person that is always searching for the next thing. I am that person who is reserved but I know I have the potential to reach out and do so much more. I am content at where I am and where I have been placed and just wait patiently for the next opportunity to grow and do His will. My imperfections to overcome the obstacles of my “little box” I have created to stay in. The imperfection of my bold words and n...

   Well the question  still is there a Becca here? After we marry we become a wife and then we become Mothers. At some point we lose that, who are we as a person.  Well I know that when I became pregnant with Brandon like I said before I was just graduating HS. It came to me real quick what needed to be done. I was not going to have a child with a different last name as me. NO way. So we married in Sept. I then became my husbands wife. First loss of my identity. I was no longer Becca K. I was now Mike’s wife or the CPl. Wife. I then became a Mom. So now I am a Mom and a wife. In all the military things I did. I was not Becca I now had to introduce myself as Cpl. Wertz wife Becca. When I talked to any other wives we only new each other by who we were married to. Sad but it was the way. It is really okay though. You become proud to be the spouse of that person and besides he is your other half. He is what makes you tick and he is what makes up your family. So now today...

    As I sit here on this Saturday morning listening to the children talk and laugh, I think of the past. I grew up as any little girl always wanting to be a nurse or a teacher. I was going to have the big “white” wedding and live in a big farm house with a white picket fence. Hmm sounds so familiar. None of that really happened at all. My mother died when I was 14 and when I tried to take my life 7 months later my Dad decided he could not care for me the way he should.  See I was in a part of my life then where I was lost and didn't know what to do.  See all we had was friends, they were our family. We were all together ALL the time. There was no discipline, no consistency. All of them were living the party life. The drugs, I am sure there was drinking. I really can’t remember. I was the baby of us all and besides I was “my” brothers little sister. Nobody messed with Ben’s little sister. I did though try the drugs a few times but quickly found they were no...

   Well here we go on another day another time, but yet almost the same ole thing. With the exception of a very fussy day for Courtney. As a mom I have never really let my kids play at the mall in the little play courts. First of all they were never as nice as they are now and ewwwww they were so dirty and gross. Well the Supermalls is really cute, semi-big, and mostly clean. So I made a play date out there with a girlfriend and NO KIDDING, Courtney, 10 minutes after we got there was ready to go home. She was whining, fussy….Good grief, I so don't like these times! So I went in to the Christian Supply and bought a CD and then we left we decided to go to Burger King. As that had a play land. The kids ate there lunch I packed for them and we headed in to play. I again have never heard so much Whining and crying. All I can say is SERIOUSLY, Is this really what having a girl is all about. Don't get me wrong, I am all about my little princess, My little blessing…….But does God real...

      Not for the faint of heart. To my few male readers you may want to just take a pass now. This is definitely a TMI moment for you.   I have been reluctant to write this and lay it all out but I found that this is what I should be doing any way. I read an entry on a website and she said when you write a blog you act like you are writing to your sister. Well all in all I don't have a sister but I certainly have friends that are like the sister I never had. Alright getting on to the story……      It was squishing and squashing. Can you guess? Yep I had my first mammogram. Let me start by stating Ladies it is not all bad. I started my journey on a day I finally decided to make the call. I called made my appointment. Told very few people about my appointment. Those I did share with I laughed, we laughed, I made jokes, we all made jokes. It was fun to fill that nervousness with laughter and women. Although I laughed and made lots of jok...

  Well another day has come in my very own Becca world. Today we had MOPS and it was good we talked about Encouraging moments discouraging moments. My perception of what we talked about is heart ache, numbness, greatness, to me LIFE.  Life brings us many roads to travel and this woman knew how to state all road signs. It was really neat of her illustrations and how she put it together. I will not share because it is not mine to share. What I will share is God’s greatness through all roads we travel. Even if at that moment we do not know them. He has chose us for this journey to make us perfect in His image…..    Another crazy busy week or days in my home. Tyler has broken his pinky yet again and disappointed about soccer to say the least. So my motherly instinct I am learning fast it is correct. I call the Orthopedic yesterday morning and they were able to get us in. I also had three babies at preschool that needed to be picked up. Finally had to pick up that phone ...

            We are on! Soccer madness has officially began for T-man! The scorpions are now 4 and 0. With a win today of 3-1 and Tyler scored 2 goals…..HOW EXCITING is all this. A friend wrote today and said she didn't like watching soccer in the rain…..OH MAN that's what soccer is all about. Doesn't mean I really like it but maybe a little. I have watched  soccer in the HOT weather in SNOW and in pouring rain….we have played it all. We love it. Rest assured though when I say we I mean that very loosely as Tyler and I… No one else really enjoys soccer in my family. So when the weather is not great Mike gladly stays home with the kiddos!! On to the rest of my weekend. I watched a wonderful movie yesterday “Letters to God” good true story…Such an inspiration from a lil boy. Last night was Home Group and it was wonderful to see my friends and all the kids.  We watched a little clip from The Skit Guys called God's Chisel...

So I was on the phone on hold and just wrote. I was thinking of something particular when I wrote this. But when I got off the phone I was trying to figure where I pulled this from but deep down I know where it came from.           Be with me always hold me, love me, keep me warm. Let me fill you with the randomness of life through always. Let me love you. Let me open my arms to you. Let me want you, let me yearn for you. Make me want you…..I want to make you want me more and more until the day you take me. That day is something grand and beautiful to say the least. Until the day I am in your arms I am not complete. I want you to complete me!

   Night is upon us all. OH WAIT, it is now morning! Good Morning world wake up. You are now welcome to join me on Becca Beth time! Don't you just love when you go to bed and you simply can not sleep. Well to be honest me either. It is rather boring at 1230 am. Nothing on TV ……No one to entertain me. People wake up! LOL…Well it must be said I like good company. So it was a good night tonight. Not very many girls came to Club 56 but we had some good deep conversations. We talked about our lesson but it went deeper than that. We talked about casting everything to God. What do we hold onto that we can’t/ won’t give Him. Self Image, to worried about what others think. When reality we only need to please ourselves no one else with that issue. Who cares. I still suffer with that issue. But you know I am me and that is all to be said. I am God’s Princess and He made me! We talked about worry, guilt…..Yea all the good stuff and friends things that our children hold on to today is some...

   My favorite word AMAZING……I use this word way to often. I think lots is amazing but I have to say I only use it in context. At least I think I do. Lets see I tell certain people they are amazing and if I say it I mean it. It is much like the L word so I may not use it all the time. So I was telling someone today that I thought they were amazing so I decided am I being true when I say that. So I looked it up and here is the deal. AMAZING definition: Astonishing synonyms: awesome , fascinating , incredible , marvelous , prodigious , shocking , stunning , surprising , unbelievable , wonderful Well well well….Do I use this in context….You bet I do.  Every synonym of this word is accurate when I say that word!

   Thinkin it up….The wheels are back and turning. Here is my quest for the day. Think up something great and something true. Think of Authenticity! Are you Authentic? Is there people you are more Authentic with than others? How can you be sure the person you are being Authentic with is the same with you? Send me an email or Face book message of your thoughts on this and lets see if I can follow through with Authenticity. Another one Love….. what is up with mushy lovey feelings? UGHHHHHH….You all know me I am so mushy it is sickening BUT I have my limits. The L word if you will comes way to much and way to often. God is softening my heart accepting each and every L word that comes my way. I thank my girlfriends on Monday night to show me (even though you did not know)….It is okay to Love and it is okay to say the words a little more often. Again I think I said it in my last blog to you all so therefore I am OUT of the words that don't come so easy and are not taken so lightly ...

     God’s grace shining down on us today. Reminding us over and over again that He is in control and that He is here. God is reaching His arms to each of us, holding us and yearning for us to want Him and hold Him. Are you reaching your arms and hands out to Him? Are you showing Him, He is your God and that you know He is merciful and so full of grace?  Are you TRUSTING Him with all your heart and soul?  My God He is and will always be. I know how merciful he is to us. I hope that you do too. To my friends…..some may know what I am saying with full understanding others, you will get it. If you read this you must be in one of my baskets of friends…..As I am hoping I am in yours. Took me a long time to learn about friends and that you could have more than one, even two, even 20…No matter what basket you are in, I have a connection with each and every one of you and for that I love you all. Know that God is with you and he should be in that number 1 basket an...
