Pottery Painting Party in which my children decided to paint their faces to resemble cats…
Lately, seasonal allergies have hit our house. Cough. Wheeze. Sneeze. Snooze.
Lately, I’m so thankful that my older two children have become bosom buddies. Literally.
Lately, I feel a bit overwhelmed by all God is teaching me right now but am so thankful that He deems me worthy of the lessons.
Lately, I’ve been so grateful that He deems us all so worthy of the lessons.
Lately, my husband has been making me laugh more than usual with conversations about onomatopoeia and homophones.
Lately, I’ve been surrendering control to Him. Really.
Lately, I’ve been short with my children and it has to stop.
Lately, I’ve been exercising and doing Weight Watchers and am down three pounds. WOOHOO!
Lately, I’m craving a beach and the chance to let my children run wild all day and collapse into a sandy bed at night.
Lately, I hear the birds chirping in the morning and feel the temperatures warming and I can’t help but feel a lift in my spirit.
Lately, I’ve been continually amazed at where He places His right hand and how He pursues us so diligently – even when we don’t deserve to be pursued by such a mighty king.
Lately, I’ve been lovin’ my Nook Color far too late into the night and have become spoiled by the fact that I can purchase a book at 11 p.m. from my bed. And yes, I realize the instant gratification going on here but when it comes to reading, I don’t hold back.
Lately, I’m praying for direction and asking Him to lead me to where He sees me going next. I know He will but it’s the me in the equation that wants to know. Preferably now, thankyouverymuch.
I’m joining up with my beautiful friends Erin from It’s Grace for “Mama’s Heart” and Christy from Critty Joy for “As of Late”.
Do you know how much I adore these two?
I so understand that beach thing….and the nook thing (although mine is a kindle) I love knowing I can go on at anytime and just buy me a book. For a book lover it’s like a glimpse of heaven…HA!
It is so overwhelming sometimes when He is teaching us so much.
I adore the fact that your two oldest are becoming bosom buddies. Siblings are a gift.
And so is laughter!!
So glad you join in every month my friend…I just love knowing what is going on as of late with you!
Lately, I have been reading “What a Husband Needs from his Wife” by Melanie Chitwood. It has been a blessing to my life. From reading that, I have beeen having heartfelt conversations with my husband to know how he feels and how I can be a better wife for him on his terms.
Lately, I’ve been craving more time with my husband than usual. Not time to watch t.v. or play games. Time to sit and talk. Just to learn more about him.
Lately, I have been more at peace with what has been going on with our “house situation”. Back in January, my husband and I started to talk to a mortgage place. We are now, two months later, waiting on the report of the appraisal on a house. And if everything else should go smoothly, we should be moved in by the second weekend of April. But I am at peace. (I would usually be a stressful mess).
Lately, I have been studying more in depth with my bible reading.
Lately, I have been craving more time with my daughters.
Thank you for committing to pray for us!!!
So, you need prayer, too, huh? I’m so on it.
And, I love your lately list. That beach? It needs another mommy on it with you, with precisely 2 other children nestled in play next to yours.
I can relate to many of these — so glad that we are friends and there is someone to empathize with me!
I love your list..so many things I can relate to. Though, my kids haven’t painted themselves in awhile. Although, Grace used a green marker on her hand and drew a Leprechaun with buck teeth. Sigh. Just wait until “S” is 13. :)
I am going to let you in on a little secret, but you can’t tell anyone :). I have moments when I’m short with my kids, too. In fact, sometimes I react before they even do anything. Lately I’ve been trying to take my queues from the likes of Mrs. Ingalls. I think she was a great example of the Proverbs 31 woman. She spoke so softly to her family. She was loving but firm. Wise but fun. Her voice was tender and loving. I’ve been trying this with my kids and whether or not they’ve noticed, I’ve noticed a change in them.
You’re going to have to tell me what those big words are that Jason is telling you about. :)
Thanks so much for sharing and for linking up.
xo,
Erin
