The bible, poop and a little faith!

Josh and I have made the resolution to read the Bible out loud and read it through in a year. We have not missed a day so far! (a big accomplishment for parents of a 4 month old) We have been reading about Sarah and Abraham. Lately, I have dealt with feelings of feeling friendless and of needing a female ear. (while my husband is AMAZING, make no mistake, there is a difference in a husband and a girlfriend) Events have happened over the past week or two that have given me the feeing of helplessness and quite frankly, the feeling that I could care less about said events. I even thought to myself "it's no use, it will never happen and never change" ...… enter the story of Sarah. Laughing at God? In today's language, I believe that Sarah may have sounded like this "Yeah right God. I ain't havin no baby. There's no way. Do you know how old I am?! Hello!! It ain't happenin. People would think I was crazy." oh how we LOVE (intentional or non intentional) to put God in a little box. We praise Him as the Almighty and claim Him to be the Most High. Yet, we lack the faith or just the plain willingness to accept and believe that He is Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omniscient. Meaning..... He can do whatever, whenever and however! So while Sarah was blessed with what she always desired, I was reminded that God is ALWAYS in control.

May 2012 be the year that God is in complete control, not put in a box, and is given our complete faith and attention!

2012 is also going to be one crazy year for some people! Apparently, something is in the water. We have many friends that are getting married and other friends who are expecting their first, second or third baby! Woo hoo!

Speaking of babies, ours is now 4 months old?!? Holy moly this goes by too fast. It's funny how fast your life changes from late night movies to late night feedings; from sleeping in to barely sleeping; from late morning breakfast to breakfast if you're lucky!

When I was pregnant, I was CONSTANTLY asked "are you ready for this?" It drove me up the wall and back down again!! Of course you aren't "ready" you've never done it before! Duh! But, we were as PREPARED as we could have been. Now, I'm always told to "enjoy every minute" Again, up the wall and back down again. (so if I grimes when you say that, you'll soon know why) I don't enjoy EVERY minute. Who enjoys being pooped on? Who enjoys exactly 3 hours and 35 minutes of sleep? (IN ONE NIGHT?!?) Who enjoys the screams when you have NO idea what is wrong? Not this chick! BUT, let me assure you that there isn't a day that goes by that I don't cherish, enjoy, and feel so very blessed when I look at this little 4 month old (again, holy cow 4 months already) that's in my arms.

So while I will grimes when you ask me if I enjoy EVERY moment, I will kindly answer "yes mam, thank you"

Enjoy 2012 and KNOW that God can do all things through those who believe and trust in Him.
