Mother's Day.

I just realized that I never wrote about my first Mother's day! It wasn't anything overly exciting but, it was a nice day. As usual we were up early getting ready for work but, waiting in the car for me was a card and a box of chocolates! Yum chocolate! We got to church and the sermon was all about mothers. It's really neat how much of a difference two years makes. Last year of course I was pretty pregnant with Emma on Mother's day. The year before that, I cried myself to sleep b/c church had been all about mothers and I just wanted to be a mommy! It was hard to go through but, I am proof postive that God gives you the desires of your heart!

Anyways, after church we went to Art's Jug in Watertown. It was a great peaceful dinner with just Rowdad, Emma, and I! Emma of course charmed all he waitresses...So much so that Monday at Cato(an awesome clothing store) our waitress was there and remembered her right away. After lunch we went to my mom's work and we brought her a card and flowers! That is also where we found that Emma had a wicked blow out diaper...poop everywhere! Thank you antibiotics (not)! So, her pretty mother's day dress was covered in poo. We got her all changed and she got to spend sometime with her Grandmother!

After going to my mom's work we headed over to the inlaws house for some hang out time there. I got a card and a bag of chocolates(that's just what I need, more chocolate). There, Emma had another blow out diaper - so we gave her a bath, and another set of clean clothes. Thankfully she was fine after that. Finally, we made it home and sat down and relaxed! We watched the finale of Celebrity Apprentice and went to bed. Overall not too bad of a day.

Who would of thunk it?

Me- the grungy, purled haired girl (well used to be) is hawking make up! LOL. That's right I am now YOUR personal Mary Kay Consultant! I will soon have a web page set up where you can go there and directly order MK products from there. In the mean time if you are a MARY KAY lover and don't already have a consultant get in touch with me and I will be happy to get you what you need!


--------------------------------on another subject----------------------------------------------

Emma is sick, sick, sick! Well, really she isn't that sick! She started off the week with a double ear infection. Then she developed a fever and has not gone below 100.3 since Wednesday! We brought her into the Pediatrician's office today and she has one of two things. 1. Adneodvirus- basically if she has this within in the next two days or so she should break out in a rash, and then her fever will break and she will be okay! 2. Mono- seriously, my little girl might have the "kissing disease" lol! So, if by Monday she has not broken out in a rash and her fever has not gone lower than 1oo she will need to go get some tests done. If it is mono I think they will just let it run its course like option 1 but, for some reason (I guess to rule out anything else) the want her tested for it. I am hoping that any day time now she will break out in a rash so she doesn't have to have tests run!

My little girl is also growing up so fast! She is 11 months old! Standing she has had down pat for awhile now. This week she started taking steps! Now, just like standing was she only does it on her own. Wednesday my mom came over and brought with her iced coffees. Well, Emma wanted those. So as my mom and I were talking she had proceeded to walk towards the table where the iced coffees were! It was so great to see! It is rare though that we can stand her up and have her walk towards us.

We are also working on her b-day party plans. I had a friend from the MB message boards make her invites! I love them! There are polk-a-dots all of them! So, that is going to be our "theme" I found a great table cloth with brightly colored polk-a-dots yesterday at walmart! So, Naomi is going to be making the cake, with dots on them! IT is going to be so much fun! Emma is also going to be getting her one year photos taken next week! i can't believe we are doing all of this already!.

Well, that is life in a nutshell!! I am sure I will be back soon to share with you about my very first mother's day w/ a baby outside of the womb!

Believe!

On Sunday we had a guest speaker. He has been coming to our church doing some training over the last couple of months. He is really good speaker, and knows his stuff. He did have a "word" for me that automatically brought me to tears. "It was it's okay to believe again" That has got to be the most profound sentence that has been said to me in many a months! His sermon was about unbelief. We were talking about unbelief and he asked what is the one way to cure unbelief? The answer is obviously to believe! However, that is not so easy!

Is it easy to believe? Can you just dive right in and believe? Believe the promises of God? Believe that he died on the cross for our sins? Believe that he has a bigger and better plan for our lives that we could ever imagine? For me, its not that he is the Savior of the world- its healing! What is the one thing that you can't let go of?

I went to him after church and said you made it sound so easy! It's not! I suppose that is where faith comes in however, I have been jaded. Yes, dare I say I have been jaded by the many years of church attendance. Ever heard the saying "church would be perfect w/o the people?" yeah, well its true. Well, and also the more I learn, the more I question things and not just take them for face value! There is no question about it there is a supernatural element of Christianity. I have seen it at play in my own life. Emma is proof it! I do believe that it was a miracle that I carried Emma to full term. However, when it comes to how much of Christianity is Supernatural is where I am struggling to believe!

You see, I know Jesus preforms miracles everyday! I believe he is alive and hearing every single one of our prayers. Sometimes, though, I think we forget the other side of Jesus. The side of him that lived his life hanging out with prostitutes and tax collectors. He is the person who did not throw a stone at the lady living in adultery. I get that Jesus performed miracles but, above all he LOVED! That is in fact the greatest commandment in the Bible. Maybe I am just being nit picky but, there is something inside of me that wants to reconcile these doubts that I have about what I have been taught over the last year. Well, anyways- this may not make sense to many people! However, it feels good to get it out!

God Spoke.

Don't you love those moments when you know what you are hearing is totally from God? I do as well! I had one of those this morning! It was great! I am hoping I can stand up, brush the dirt of my knees and start running with it! We will see what happens!
