In our reach

So the house stuff is getting close! We should be signing this week, but I've heard that before. I just can't wait for the kids to have a backyard to run around in! They are outside right now just digging. They've been out there for so long and they are so happy. The only thing is I have to check on them every 30 secs so they don't run away. Caelan is actually I hope it all works out and we can be in our house next weekend. We'll see! This is what we hopefully have to look forward to!

Faith like a Child.

I have a wonderful friend who took my kids for the morning. Thanks Jenn! I came home with all sorts of ideas: clean the kitchen, bathrooms, vacuum, laundry, etc. I could do so much in two hours without kids! Instead I decided to take a bath and read a book that I started awhile a go. It's a book on prayer. I started reading and it was just perfect! I have been very overwhelmed with the kids lately and just not having any energy, feeling like I could tell them things a million times a day and they still don't get it. What I read totally changed my perspective. It was all about talking to God like children. The things that drive me crazy about Caelan sometimes is what I need to be doing with God. Ask for things constantly and for anything. Caelan asks me for water over and over until he gets it. He also asks for things like a dog that seems impossible but maybe if he keeps asking someday WAY down the road maybe he will get it. He isn't afraid to ask me for anything. He talks to me when he is frustrated, happy, sad, angry. He comes to me for everything. This is the relationship that My heavenly Father wants with me. I now am going to look at how I can learn from my kids instead what do I need to teach them today. I'm just amazed how God changed my perspective and I feel just so refreshed. I have so many blessings in my life! First and foremost, a God who loves me SO much and is so patient, a husband who teaches me so much about love everyday, and two kids that reflect God's character everyday. I also have a wonderful friend who allowed me this MUCH needed time with God.
