Okay Ladies weight has always been an issue for me. Even suffering from an eating disorder for part of my life. However finally at the age of 32 I have come to accept my body (slightly) for what it is! So when I went to the doctors office for a sinus infection I was blindsided my the nurses comments. Um, do you workout? yes mam daily. Do you eat healthy? uh-huh. Well you know the weight doesn't go one in one day and it wont come off in one day either. EXCUSE ME? I am sorry are you talkin to me? I was so dumbfounded and for those that know me know that is a first. She left them room then I got mad, more than mad furious. How dare someone that doesn't know me, and is there to take my blood pressure and temp (which she didn't) give me crap about my weight. I am no Twiggy but I am also not King Kong! Lets face it I am of German decent and have always had lots of muscle and med size bones. I have been pregnant four times in 5 years with 2 children to show for it. I am here fighting to rip apart negative thoughts that overtake my mind and another women is tearing me down, you have got to be kidding me!
I am really having to pray about this. I cannot allow her to affect me, I will not allow her to affect me. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. God made me in His image and to serve Him. So know I might not be Twiggy but I am NOT king kong either!

Can I get an AMEN?
“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea. Mark 9:24
Will I ever learn?
So after everything I have been through with my health the past 4 months you would think I would slow down. Unfortunatley this is not the case. Next Tuesday begins February....the 2nd i have to select books for a book fair, the 3rd meeting must attend on committe,the 4th I have to go through other books for the book fair. And a birthday party! The 7th I set up the book fair and watch class for teachers during staff meeting!, the 8-11 I run the book fair from 8:45am-3:45 am. On the 11th my oldest has a field trip (yep Dad is going to have to make this one) the 11th we also have a quick trip to celebrate Hubbys and momma's birthday. 14th throw class party for oldest and hopefully attend class party for youngest. Oh yes and share the love. Run a house home school oldest and attept to home school youngest, cook dinners, clean, do laundry, and attend weekly class. Oh and get clothes ready to consign by the 24th!
I thought I was suppose to find a new "normal"! When will I learn?
Is this what is means to be a mommy?

Haggai lesson 1
So our Pastor began a new study today in the old testament book of Haggai today.
And while it was a kick you in the teeth kinda message this is what I gained while reading
back over my notes.
God created time and God gives us time.
Therefore, shouldn't we use our time to serve Him?
I cant wait till next week:)!

Birthday's celebrated, Lessons learned.
So this weekend was amazing. A good comfy kind of amazing. We made the journey back home Friday to begin the celebration of the twins first birthday. We relaxed on Friday night at moms house and ate the best pizza on the planet. Tims! if you are ever in the ville I would strongly encourage it! Then Saturday my brother, who I might add is simply awesome surprised us with donuts from Ricks bakery. Another of the ville's finest!
Anyway Saturday afternoon it was time to celebrate! And I must say my sister in law has to be one of the most creative people EVER! The theme was double bubble, double trouble. And it was decked out! From mini bubble gumball machines to pictures of everyone blowing bubbles, to balloon's wrapped in cellophane to look like bubblegum! It was nice just to celebrate their tiny lives.
But as with all fun times...well as with all times there is a lesson. An individual crossed my path this weekend whom I haven't seen in a year. Most would see this figure in their lives daily, weekly or even monthly. But for me it had been a year. And not really for a reason but it just didn't happen. And sadly it wasn't missed. You see almost 13 years ago this individual decided that sin was better then the life they had. And left. And frankly I wanted nothing to do with this "new" and "better" life. And as years went on and forgiveness took place the relationship seemed to fade. I am not sure how much either one of us wanted to carry it on. So I sat around looking at people who enrich my life. Make it better just by being in it! And I realize Although sin took one relationship. God provided many more to help in my daily walk and growth with Him

Me, Myself and Lies
I recently started a bible study entitled Me, Myself and Lies by Jennifer Rothschild. And it is amazing.
As women, young ladies and even little girls, I believe we feel our heads with untruths or Lies. Your fat, ugly, you will never be like _______________, your hands are ugly, you’re stupid, no one likes you, and you can’t count money, blah, and blah, blah. Unfortunately these thoughts run through our head between 100-300 times a minute. When the fact of the matter is that we should be concentrating or meditating on things of higher value. Such as our Amazing heavenly Father and the plans he has for our lives, and our we living to the best of our ability for Him. Rearranging our thoughts to be more like that of Christ.
I will remember the deed of the Lord; yes I will remember your wonders of old. I will ponder all your works and meditate on your mighty deeds. Psalm 77:11-12
Then focus or meditate on Gods current provisions, promises and presence. Focusing our thoughts on truth not the lies that seem to beat us down on a daily basis.
As a mother of two girls I find myself constantly trying to build a firm foundation of Gods truths in their little formable minds so that when they do reach the tweens and teens they can combat these untruths or lies with Gods word. Knowing that they are made in His image, fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14) and no matter what the world may try to put in their minds they can squash it with truth and hopefully not have to battle the daily nonsense that storms through my thoughts.
