Sometimes He Says No to Blogs

I wanted to blog about something last week that God has been teaching me and I thought was really cool. I thought if it was a good message for me it HAD to be a good message for the WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD to read on my blog, right? Not so much. I talked a little bit with the Indy BFF and she shared some wisdom with me that I think I've shared with other people, but never actually did myself; PRAY before posting a blog. Novel idea, I know. But I usually just read, reread, laugh at myself and press publish. Even when I'm talking about "Godly things" I pass over that (in my opinion) major step.

But it's a really, really, really, REALLY cool message, Lord!

Nope.

Sorry.

I'm thankful for people who share wisdom with me. I'm thankful for serving a God that knows every teeny tiny detail about every single person and when I trust Him with my words (again, novel idea) He is able to use those words for His glory. And isn't that the whole reason why we're here, to bring HIM glory?

That's cool that in thinking you would share something God has been teaching you He taught you (or re taught you ) something through it! So true that somethings don't need to be blogged for whatever reason..and praying before you publish is always a good plan. I have a few blogs that I've written and then just don't feel like the Lord wants them posted so I print them out and insert them into my journal.
Thanks for reminding me of that verse, More Him less me. :)

Crafty Me

I'm pretty excited because I'm not crafty, at all, but when I saw this idea on my new favorite crafty blog I got all giddy because I thought, "I can do that!" and so I did. And since my kids ARE crafty, go figure, I had all the stuff to make them on hand - yippee! All I had to do was buy the goodies that make the wings, which only cost me a dollar (thank you Dollar Tree!). I put them in the kid's little Easter buckets. I hope they like them as much I do. :-)

In a Nut Shell...

Saturday afternoon, 2pm, got home from Costco and thought I might be going into labor. Troy woke up from his nap at 3:30, sensed what was going on and was not too happy about it at all. Thinking it was pretty early, but not want wanting to take any chances, we left for the hospital a bit before 4 o'clock Yep, too early. Walked the halls for an hour which produced more of these... Which felt like this... And at 8:42pm they led to this... We are so thrilled to add a precious baby girl to our family We love you Mia Joy! (7lbs 2oz, 18.5" long)

I know that people come from good places and the intentions behind their comments are never bad, and sometimes they're actually funny, but sometimes I just want to say, um, really? Is that the BEST thing you can think of to say? Here are some of my faves from last week... "I'm going to un-friend you on facebook because you do not look like you just had a baby a week ago." - sorry? "What's her name? ... Oh I know SO MANY Mia's. Like, SO many." - great. "Are you guys finished yet? Is there some literature out there I can get for you (to teach you about prevention)?" (This one is my favorite) - "I'm the oldest of three and I am SO glad my parent's didn't have a fourth." - um... okay. This is the one I hear from almost everyone, it's not necessarily a bad thing to say, I just get it A LOT, "Two boys and two girls? Oh, the perfect family." Does that mean before Mia we had an imperfect family? I also hear endle
