Busted

As I said a few posts ago I am not the Martha Stewart of housecleaning. Its just so hard for me with the babies running around causing chaos and such...{excuses excuses}. Listen, laundry I get washed weekly. I kinda like having a completely empty laundry basket even if its just for a few hours. My hubs does a lot of the house cleaning {heart him}. Ramble much....

Today I was sweeping the kitchen floor and getting ready to mop. It was actually getting quite disgusting. Little man likes to dump his plate...grrrrrrr. So there were several spots where the plate ring of food could be seen as the dirt began to stick to it....yuck.

I had told #1 that I had a surprise for her this weekend, but I wasn't going to tell. heh heh. As I was getting ready to do the mopping, she pipes up "I know what the surprise is this weekend, we are getting company." WHAT???!!! ahem...what makes you say that? "Well you only mop when we are getting company." B.U.S.T.E.D!

Yes we are getting company, but now I am mad and I am not going to tell her. Still keeping it a secret. Mostly because I would her 1,234,567,372 times when are Mimi and Papa coming? And she and her siblings would plant themselves in front of the door and wait for 2 days.

A JOURNEY OF THE HEART

"No NO No NO NO No!" That was a recent entry into my journal. I was asked to do something that I without a shadow of a doubt knew it was God asking me to do it. AND I DIDN'T WANT TO! I literally followed it with 2 pages of ME telling God why I didn't want to do it and why I couldn't do it. Yes 2 pages.  Wow! I strapped on my toddler attitude and went to town. *Flashback to 1 month ago* Child #1's Kindergarten teacher, Kara,  also  attends the church we attend and we occasionally see each other at the same service. Well, one particular evening we got to talking and she asked me to join our church's version of VBS. We go to the west side {off campus} of town to the Somalian population and do a day time VBS and lunch for these kids for an entire week. Cool part, my own kids can come and be apart of the "missions trip."  What an invaluable a lesson to my kids to show love to others! Kara is heading crafts and wanted me to craft it up with her. ...

serving with a grateful heart

1 Peter 4:10 "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms." This year my little gang of cheerios and I have been working on being intentional about serving. To be honest for a long time the excuses of having to many littles was beginning to wear thin. Now I have been looking for opportunities that my littles could easily accomplish. Yesterday, we attended a Lenten service at our church. It was a beautiful Prayer walk. We walked through stations, preparing our hearts for this season of Lent. It was a perfect activity for our family to do together. In the Lenten study package was The Names of God Bible reading challenge . I am really thrilled to focus in on the Names of God for this season. Preparing my heart for the Easter season. So today, the sanctuary needed cleaned. All the stations needed put back in the closets and offices that they were borrowed from. Little ...
