Confidence

“It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them, more strength to relate to people than to dominate them, more 'manhood' to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex. Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles and an immature mind.”

Can't pass on good deals!

Brand new product from Toys R Us. Has a speaker that plays music on the top tray, you hook your ipod to it and plays through the speaker on top! Elijah's other stroller was dying he had beaten it up and the wheels were wobbly. This one is a jogging stroller! I'm phsyced!

It's orignally 159 plus tax, we bought it on clearence for 79, then had a 15% off coupon that they used! So it was 67 dollars! It's cute!

Good deal

What God Thinks Is All That Matters, Who cares what people think..a lot of us do

The title says it all. This is something I'm really really trying to work on, and every day I fail over and over again. So I pray that God will help me with it, and you know what, he puts the test there for me to work on it and I fail!

Sometimes I feel like I bend over backwards for some people and a lot of times I don't get that in return. I'm not saying that when I do something for someone that I expect something back. A lot of times I feel I only get called or talked to when someone needs something.

I can't say no! If I do my stomach is in pitts all day long because I feel like the worst person in the world. I can't get rid of the guilt! Why do I care what people think, I know it's PRIDE! I worry what people are going to say, what people are going to do. I care to much about it, but yet at the same time I have such a low self esteem! I feel that I can work more on my faults by letting it out, then keeping it all bottled in. No I'm not depressed or miserable. Just weaknesses I have, so if you want to judge me go ahead ! lol

This quote says it all....

"He who fears something gives it power over him."--Arab proverb

People have the power over me when it should be God I fear and what God thinks! Everything I do in this world should be to glorify him. Basically the saying, what would Jesus do.

Lord, I pray that you'll just take this prideful heart away, and fill it with concerns of you! I want to strive each day to glorify you in all I do. To love you more each day, to be with my family and help be a supportive mother and wife. Help others to see you in me! Take my worries and my fears of what the world thinks. Let me fear you and only you and live each day to the fullest, for I never know when it will be the last! I long for the day to be with you, but while I am here on earth, you are who I seek!

I love the verse, I'm going to sleep peacefully on this

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."--John 14:27

He loves me :)

I am spoiled! One of my gifts on our 4 year anniversary! They are beautiful!!

Love You Dave

Happy Anniversary my Dear! 4 years of amazement! I love you!

Best thing of the day he had taken today off, so we have the whole day together. We are going to the pool and he's making me dinner tonight! He's the best!

Frustrations of Life

It has been one of those weeks, and it's only Tuesday! C'mon!

carbreaking
300 dollar part to fix it
Spending hrs trying to figure out what was wrong
a 4 year anniversary on thursday and david works til 8 and we dont have the extra money to do much because we spent it on a car part.
My head is pounding
Losing my wallet
Calling and canceling my cards, have to go get a new liscense
Life in general - frustrating situations
Struggling w/eating healthy, i love healthy foods but when you are just having a bad day all you want is junk!

Just frustrated! It feels good to let it out, and at the end of the day you have a child who just beats you up and screams when he gets frustrated. He loves me lol.

I'm in a good mood just frustrated like me son who gets a toy stuck and screams at the top of his lungs for mommy to fix it or turn the toy back on!

I do love my life. Just this week it's one thing after the other! Everyone have a pity party w/me! It's fun. Eat some cake for me!

Lord .. I pray that you'll just take these burdens from me and in all things let me glorify you when things don't go our way! - that's a hard thing for me!

I decided to take Elijah on a walk today, and it was so hot that his little cheeks were so red. We made a pit stop to Dunkin donuts and we enjoyed a kiddie cup of chocolate ice cream together. He loved it. Don't worry it was one scoop and I hope I walked it off considering we walked for about an hr and half! Here's the pics

Happy Baby

Elijah is feeling better, and back to his normal self. Dave and I are greatful for the prayers and concerns!

We hope everyone is doing well. Elijah and I are keeping busy with walks, visits to see buddy (new dog friend down the street) and just playing and playing! He's taking steps! So soon :) He's getting so big!


Everyone is invited to his party June 20, 2009 from 6:00-8:00 - Have more invitations to hand out! It's at my parents house! Cookout/pool party! Bring your bathing suits! Love you all!

Good Song Everyone Should Listen To

Warren Barfield
Love Is Not A Fight lyrics

Send "Love Is Not A Fight" Ringtone to your Cell

Love is not a place
To come and go as we please
It's a house we answer in
Then commit to never leave

So lock the door behind you
Throw away the key
We'll work it out together
Let it bring us to our knees

Chorus:
Love is a shelter in a raging storm
Love is peace in the middle of a war
And if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door
No, love is not a fight but it's something worth fighting for

To some, love is a word
That they can fall into
But when they're falling out
Keeping that word is hard to do

Chorus:
Love is a shelter in a raging storm
Love is peace in the middle of a war
And if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door
No, love is not a fight but it's something worth fighting for

Love will come to save us
If we'll only call
He will ask nothing from us
But demand we give our all

Chorus:
Love is a shelter in a raging storm
Love is peace in the middle of a war
And if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door
No, love is not a fight but it's something worth fighting for

I will fight for you
Would you fight for me?
It's worth fighting for

Fun at the hospital at 3am

So we decided to take Eli to the hospital, we couldn't get him happy yesterday, or get his fever down and he had stopped eating, so we knew today (Memorial day ) would have been terrible because Dr. Offices would be closed, so we wouldn't to help our poor sick baby. We knew it wasn't an emergency but took him there just to get him checked out. Turns out he has herpengina (spelling) lol. Just a cold virus that has left sores in his throat so, that's why he wasn't eating, and vomiting, and just miserable! We couldn't even get tylenol or motrin in him. So, when we left the hospital it was down to 100, which is good. They gave him some numbing mouthwash! And he passed out on the way home and slept til 10. He's back to himself today, playing and laughing. We are praising God, my heart just broke for him yesterday. I was desperate to make him happy. So today, memorial day we are just relaxing with our beautiful family that God has blessed us with!

One Month To Go

Elijah is 11 months old today. Such a big boy! It's sad how fast they grow up but yet excited to see them begin their life! Happy 11 months baby!

New Person

Where do I begin? This is such a big step for me, to forget about what others are saying, or is someone mad at me, or what did I do now, or who said what! I'm really serious about no more facebook, I had david change the password and his password so I can't get on anymore. It was just making me angry. I'd see how people were...fake, untrue and so much drama. Like I said who did what when and where. I'd get upset because people who claim to be christians are not acting like they should when they were away from church. I started getting bitter and angry and I don't want to be like that.
Instead of playing on facebook and browsing what everyone is doing in their life, I need to take care of myself and my family. In the end family is the only one who is always there. Facebook is depressing, some people can control and not go on for days, not me, it's like a food addiction and I dont want facebook to control me. Please dont laugh, i'm serious. I want to focus on my life and not others, I want to be a better follower of Christ and do more for the world and I can't do that when there is a hinderance. So, here's my struggle. Yes Facebook made me angry, i'd get off and be annoyed about something. So I'm done! It's a new me!

Justin Is Here - New Great Nephew!
