He blesses me so!

I seriously do not know why God has blessed me like He has, but I feel like sharing it with you. I do this not to brag about me, but I like to brag on God and if He is going to go and do something awesome, well, I want everyone to know how great He is.

I have a home I enjoy. I have friends and family I love all over the place whether back home Arizona or family in Oregon, Texas, Nebraska, Georgia, Washington, South Carolina. I have blog friends I adore. I have so many wonderful SAHM friends that I could be busy every day of the week with play dates which I usually am. They are all different too. I love the different people God has brought into my life. They shape me and challenge me and grow me. Its awesome!



I mean first of all their is the beautiful little person that I adore even if her main mode of communication right now is no regardless of the context.


These two people are incredible. I have been studying Song of Solomon and everything Shulamith says about Solomon, I truly feel the same way about my husband. My heart swells with love and when he comes home eager to do Miss Wiggle's bed time routine I even sometimes get a bit jealous of their evening routine together. The special bond they have and her anticipation and excitement when she sees his car pull into the drive way. He just takes my breath away.




God really has blessed me with some pretty amazing friendships. This is a pic of my pal Chloe and me. She rocks! It is her commitment that helped form my jewelry business. Her knowledge and dedication to me has been a priceless gift. She even featured me on her blog. Its like winning an Oscar. I love her handmade stationary. We are even working on doing the Poquoson Seafood Festival together. I am so excited about that. I also love that our little girls get along so well.

I love the wise women of my church that have committed to come along side me and other young women to help support and guide us as we work to be Christ centered women, wives and mothers.

I love living near the ocean.

I love rainy days that call for chamomile.

I love sunny days that call for flip flops.

I love friends who are eager to share with me whether its produce from their garden or watch Miss Wiggles while I go "git ma hair did".

You may think I lead a pretty pampered life. I've often thought the same but it just isn't so. I've got my own losses, two babies babies in Heaven being the primary. There are other things but I won't go into all that right now. I have really learned through the trials and storms that when God chooses to send a blessing my way, I cherish it whether it is the cuddles I only get when Miss Wiggles has a fever or the forced rest when the rain falls or the blessing of relationships, of just plain living. I treasure it, I hold it, I give it up to God and I thank Him in all things He does because He loves me.

This is a neat, heart-felt post. Shows spiritual maturity. Your husband's bond with your daughter will pay rich, rich dividends in her teenage years. Good job as parents!
