Today is the Day!

       Aha! Had you at the line. So you say why is today the the day? Actually, no reason! Today is the day of the rest of our lives. Every minute that goes by we don’t get it back. We get older and it is one step closer to fulfilling our dreams and one minute closer to meeting our maker. It is spring, and the spring fever has hit harder this year than any other. The cold, the rain, the cold, the rain, the cold, the rain. I think I have said my peace there. It sure was nice to get out in the sunshine for a few minutes yesterday afternoon with out shivering freezing. Our dearest Father we would love to see some warm weather our way! AMEN

         I think with our patients of the weather we may be in for a blessing of a Summer. Hmmmmmm I believe at some point I said that last year as well. Last summer was anything but a blessing although we had a couple handfuls of BEAUTIFUL days. We are long over due for some warmth and fun!

Today is the day of the rest of our lives, the difference we make in the things we do and say. You ever say something and go “DOHHHHHHH” did I just say that out loud. OUCH the words that pierce something so personal that you should have just kept your mouth shut, in my attempt I did that yesterday not to point fingers at anyone or anything a common statement if you will. Didn’t hurt anyone's feelings just words out of an emotional cranky woman. I was thinking about things last night and saying I don’t want to be cranky, emotional. I want to be Becca and be fun and loving person I always am.  I always thought that with God I can conquer it all and I know I can still I just need to be more diligent to Him and pray. I thought if all I had was Him he would help me through it all. Yes, He will but I need again to ask and receive . I need to listen and be patient. I am in a stressful period and soaking it all in. However somewhere along the line I need to ring it out somewhere and I haven't been able to do so. I think deep down I know in time a lot of the stress on my plate will be gone in a couple months and counting. I made the decision to wait that couple of months there for I need to do it humbly because it was a choice. I am sure we all have something like that. Right?! Well nothing that God, couple months, and yes, some sunshine cant cure for me there. As I was thinking last night I was suffering from a massive headache and knowing that it was stress among other things. I was thinking that you know it is not all about me and I need to focus on God. Ask him for peace and comfort and me to be happy. I am usually pretty good at that but at last before I drifted into a deep sleep in the comfort of my bed and dark room and warm blankets I left with this note. What can I do for God? So in all my moaning and complaining and stresses ultimately I do what I choose to do for His glory. Where he has put me and where I should be and what I need to see through. Then and only then do we move on gracefully and move to the next Chapter or season and wait. We wait for His word, His command on what He has in store for us. However as we wait, we need to communicate with Him and listen. Open our eyes, ears, and hearts to Him! LISTEN!!!

He Swallowed a What??

Image
Not sure where to begin. Alright it is noon and Courtney is getting ready to take a nap and Cameron had just got in trouble so he needed to go to my room and take a rest. Court just went to bed and Cam is in my room. I sit down at the dining room table to finish some paperwork. All the sudden Cameron comes running down the hall screaming holding his throat, “I swallowed it, I swallowed it.” I said “Cameron what did you swallow?” Cameron, “ I don’t know it was silver metal, I don’t know what it is?” I am at this point going what on earth now. I can not fathom so we keep talking he gets a drink of water and coughs and says I really did I swallowed it. At this point the older boys know what he swallowed. So when we all came to the conclusion, we did in fact decide it was a battery. I try to call his doctors office but they had just left for lunch. I called poison control not sure what prompted that as I have never called them ever. The lady was wonderful on the phone and told me that if i...

I Have Missed.......

Well today was a good day. It was oh so HOT……I love it….okay well I love it as long as I can come in the house and cool off from time to time. Spent most of the day outside doing absolutely nothing except being kissed by the beautiful SUN!! My niece came over with my Great Nephew (thanks!) and we had a wonderful visit….Have I mentioned how precious he is? Cameron went to his first night at Mega Sports VBS and that was exciting for him. Tyler is camping at Dash Point with a friend. As for me and Courtney we went to Preston to go to the kids bounce place for a birthday party for Tucker. So while I was there I got to see the all the little ones I watch during the school year. Believe it or not I have missed that so much. As hard as it is to devote a day to kids all day with in reality no break can be difficult at times. Some days I was absolutely exhausted and some days I felt great. Some days were filled with happiness all day and some days I was so stressed I wanted to be done. No matte...

Safe Travel......To and From!

Travels……..So much to say and don’t know where to begin. Started my venture and decided 10 min. into the ride I was tired. I really dislike when that happens. I prayed immediately for safe travels……Thank you for those that took the time out to pray!! Travels were safe. Loud music and window down….dancing…..just to stay awake and make the run smooth. Let me first off start with I got some gas. Then I get into Puyallup and coffee is calling my name but decided hey I can wait. So what do you know……Starbucks on every corner and I wait to find the next one and NOTHING……….Keep driving, NOTHING…….Heavens to Pete I think by now I am going to die. So I am driving staying very content with the driver in front of me. A truck pulls out in front of him and he had no choice but to pass at that moment. So I got stuck behind this truck that is driving 35-40 in a 55 I finally get in a safe place to pass so I do. Of course he speeds up…..but its all good……I may like to drive fast but I do not like to pa...
