It’s Okay to be Clingy

February 20, 2017by Living In Green PasturesLeave a Comment on It’s Okay to be Clingy

It was 4:45am when I was awakened by a shrieking, “MOMMY!!!”, coming from my toddler’s bedroom. Normally if he wakes in the middle of the night I’m not too worried. However, this was a cry for help, panic, or just a plain need to have me close. After I was able to calm him down [...]

“The Guy” in Physical Science 101

February 6, 2017by Living In Green PasturesLeave a Comment on “The Guy” in Physical Science 101

Esau and I met on January 26th, 2010. I was late for Physical Science 101 and so when I walked into the stuffy, small room I sat down in the last seat all the way in the back (I’m usually more of a front-seat kind of girl). Plopping my book bag on the floor, I [...]

Sea Lion show=the favorite part of my day! #seaworld #getoutside #sealionsforlife
If you come to my house, chances are you’ll see an open bible somewhere. It may be scribbled on, highlighted, or it may just be open with no added notes. Why? Because it’s my reminder to keep coming back to the word of God; to the Truth. I need this book more than I need anything else. How do you remind yourself to seek truth? #thewordofgod #seektruth
TWO years old today!! I can’t. I remember the day she was born like it was yesterday. My sweet answered prayer, Ava 😘 Thank you to our families who helped put together a “pretty in pink” party for our beautiful girl!! #Avais2 #birthdaygirl #loveofmylife #Godisfaithful
These two 😂 Ezra wanted to be a Red Dino Charge Power Ranger with last nights goggles from our epic nerf gun battle. And Ava, well she wanted to be a diva with her stunna shades and make-shift gloves which are actually her socks🤦🏼‍♀️😂 #youdoyou
I make a lot of meals. I clean up even more messes. I train, love, and teach two small humans. I organize schedules for my children and husband. I run errands, drive my family to appointments and commitments, and I’m in charge of the day to day of our home. And I hate to admit it, but this last week I became bitter about my responsibilities. I became a little less than enthusiastic about disciplining my toddlers tantrum. I became resentful that I was doing another mountain of dishes. But it was this bitterness that forced me to go to God about my sour mood. Isn’t it usually in our weakness that we look up? . After praying, I realized I had two choices: I could be thankful, or I could be resentful. And after I took a step back and got out of my head, it was obvious I HAD to pick thankfulness. I am living out the role God has so graciously given me. A role I never thought possible, a role I’ve wanted for many, many years. Sometimes, we just need to take a break. We need to catch our breath, refuel, and reflect on all the miracles God has and is doing. That is a thankful heart
Yesterday we stepped into another adventure! After finding a curriculum that I could actually teach (y’all know I’ve never seen myself as a teacher) we began homeschooling!! He had a great first day, and I’m excited to watch him grow this next year before he goes into Kindergarten!! #mybabygrewup #oneyeartillkindergarten #homeschoolingmom
