Well I think its that time again that I utilize this blogging machine as a therapy tool.
I don't really have anything deep and meaningful to discuss tonight ( I know ..strange) instead I thought id just share some funny things I noticed recently.
So I don't know if this has ever happened to you but sometimes there is something that needs changing in your world and you begin to petition heaven for it. Night and day ( well, when you can remember) you pray about it and you may even extend the opportunity to others to help with this prayer need. It happens to me a lot, its not very often that we can put a date on prayers answered or an expiration date on the ones that aren't. We don't understand his way because they are perfect and we are not.
However, I have noticed a few things in my life lately that have the distinct answered prayer feeling to them.
For example I remember praying a while back that I would have some time in the evenings to unwind and spend alone. So for the past two weeks Jose has been called into work early putting him in bed an hour earlier than normal way to early for me. ( Please note I adore my husband but I usually go to bed with him around 9 ending my entire day at that time usually with little to no time to myself) So for the past two weeks I have had TIME lots and lots of TIME to pray and do devotions and just be alone with Jesus and also just be alone with myself and my thoughts which I think is so important.
Funny thing is now going on like two weeks of this, I ironically am missing my husband. More than that I miss his energy, he is exhausted and I feel like I don't get to see enough of him. So now I have to awkwardly talk to God about possibly modifying this whole "free time" situation. Also I prayed for reading material or devotional material just something to help in my growth process with him...well that happened for real so much so that I can't keep up with any of the material. HA
These are obviously little things in the huge grand schemes of our lives and some of you probably rolled your eyes at how lame they were but they are also little things that show how caring and detailed our Daddy God is. He cares about our reading material and he cares about our free time. He is faithful in the smallest of details.
So onto some other areas of my life that are funny/ crazy.
As a mother there are a few things that I have had to just accept in my life.
A few of these things include the fact that the "Frozen" song will never NOT be going through my head.
No matter how many times I put the hair brushes away in their spot the next morning some how some way they wont be and we won't realize this until we only have ten minuets to get to where we are going.
Socks and Hair bands are in an alliance against the girls and I they are aware of our dependency upon them and so they hold all the power... which is awkward.
I can wash every single piece of clothing that the girls own and within two days with out fail it will some how all be dirty again.
I am not sure why this is but its a cold hard fact in my household ... which is when I steam mop ( which is the non lazy/ swifter version of mopping) every single time we end up having rice with our dinner and then rice gets all over my floors... its a vicious cycle and I have no idea how it keeps repeating itself.
The earlier my kids get ready the faster they WILL get dirty.
Any time I get something special or just specifically for me within twenty four hours it will somehow be broken, smashed, lost, or modified. ( not because I have horrible children its just a very weird coincidence)
There will ALWAYS be a small cup of milk hiding behind something larger in the fridge so when you move the large item it will always spill the milk.
No matter how many times I change my shirt within ten minuets usually it will have something food or body fluid related on it.
My looks will get commented on at least one time during the day maybe good maybe bad but always honest.
I could keep going but its getting late and I just realized that the dogs I let in my house have muddy feet ....(insert crying face here)
Some things we just have to accept and embrace. Me having dirty floors is one of those things.
