21 Days of Prayer....

Our church starts the year with 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. I didn’t join in last year, I’m not sure why but I didn’t. This year I really feel like it is something that I should take part in. One of my many resolutions was to have a closer relationship with God and this is going to help me get there. Unfortunately our schedule doesn’t allow us to go to the church at 7 am each day and pray and worship with everyone there but we can do it in our home and I plan to! As far as the fasting goes, when Marty (our pastor) mentioned it in church yesterday, he said it didn’t have to be food related. Well right in church, God spoke to me and I knew what I had to give up for 21 days….TELEVISION! I will admit to you that I love my shows. I love just having it on for the background noise, even if I am not watching it. I really think that not having it on for 21 days is going to be good for me and help me get many things accomplished.

Each day I will be listing what the prayer focus for the day is in case you want to join me! I am also making a huge effort to join the one-year bible-reading plan. Each day it is a section from the bible and in one year you will have read the entire book. I am a little behind but playing catch up today!

DAY ONE: Pray for God to use these next three weeks to bring about transformation, healing and growth in your own life.

All night long

As I sit here pumping in bed at 3:30 in the morning, I wonder how I got my little one to sleep all night long in his crib! I'm watching wiggle and move on the baby monitor and thank God that he can now sleep all night with no help! Me on the other hand, well I'm trying to keep that milk supply up and create a supply for when we go out of town. When will my days of All Night Long come? - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

We all need friends

I remember almost a year ago when a good friend of mine invited me to a lunch group, Friday's at noon. At that time in my life I needed it! I needed to get out and meet new friends, other ladies with children about the same age, going through the same thing. This was a life saver for me. I am not a very outgoing person and it's hard to make friends when you don't have a full time job. Long story made short.... I made some GREAT friends in that group. As all good things to do though, things changed, people moved on and life became a little crazy for all of us. So the lunch group is starting up again and even though some people have left, we have some new faces to get to know! Wednesday a couple of us went out for a ladies night out and it was great! Two new people for me to get to know and I feel like I have made two new life long friends. It's so refreshing to just have a night out with the ladies and yes, we may spend the whole night talking about our babies and what t

First trip to the ER

Yesterday was a day of firsts! First time to try to potty training and first trip to the ER. Here is how we ended up there..... He woke up feeling good and we had a nice start to potty training! He didn't eat a lot of breakfast but some days he does and others he doesn't so I didn't think much about it. When lunch time rolled around he still didn't eat. He then became very cranky and uninterested in the potty thing so I let my dad take him up for his nap. He normally goes down pretty easy but today he didn't. He said that his tummy hurt and couldn't get comfortable. He finally fell asleep but didn't stay asleep long. He moved all around and cried out a couple times then finally woke up. He was NOT himself. He cried and wanted to be held. Then all of a sudden he would be fine. Then minutes later he would say his tummy hurt, then drop to his knees and cry and move around trying to get comfortable. It was so sad. My parents wanted him to spend the night si
