A little longer God's plea for busy mom's

Today I sat down in front of the computer and I turned on Spotify looking for some relaxing music...Jenn Johnson's A little longer came on...

I felt the Lord saying sit down...listen...so I did...I closed my eyes and began to focus on Him...As a wife there are days that my husband literally sweeps me off my feet...regardless of the house, the kids...it's just him and I at that moment...today my Heavenly father...swept me off my feet in that way...

As this song played the tears flowed....the words run in my ears "let the housework go...the kids can wait...please stay here with me and love on me a little longer" As I rested in Him and repeated this song over and over The Lord spoke to my heart...He showed me the craziness of my life and that He is jealous for me...jealous for my time and my affection...my brain power...He just wanted me at that moment...and oh what a relief it was to rest in Him...

I felt led to share with others who might view this blog...you don't have to do anything just simply let things go and let your heavenly Father steal you away...love on Him and He will love on you...He's longing for your time...please look this song up...let it witness to your heart busy mom's...love ya ladies...

Ben can tie his SHOES!

The ants go marching...one by one.

So the boys got their ANTS in the mail...you should have seen the mail lady when they arrived...she said...umm that says live animals...

Ben painted this ant hill...while listening to Mozart...:) He prefers to paint to Mozart.

Venting Session on this stupid weight loss

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

That's what I feel right now...like I could really just hang my head outside the door and SCREAM!

How in the world did I get this way...overweight...can't tell you the last time I wore makeup...have not had an hour to myself alone in weeks...HOW?

I am the same girl who used to eat Jeremy McGuire under the table in Sheetz Subs and still only weigh 130 pounds...

The same girl that always told other girls that it is so ridiculous to be insecure about your body if you don't like it change it...

For Pete's Sake...I am the girl that even though I was not "perfectly fit" I ran for Ms. Cumberland and used EATING DISORDERS as my platform! Let alone the several pageants I did after that.

I managed Lerner New York and walked around in 3 inch heels every day of my life...now I'm lucky if I even own a pair of heels...

So weird how that works out huh?

Anyway...I'm gonna do this...I'm in a battle against Fat and I'm gonna win baby...you guys can catch up on the blogs if you want to read this up and down but I'm gonna be real because when I'm slim and awesome...I want to read through these and remember not to go back!

Trying the 1500 again!

Ok...I failed at following 1500 calories I'm trying AGAIN...

Please pray I get through it this time...ugh!

How I would love to look like this hot mama again...

odd winter

So it's been a very odd winter...very little snow...warmer than usual days and I must say...I have not minded it one bit...some say it means it's near the end of the world some say global warming...

My opinion for what it is worth...try to live every day as if it's your last...when time runs out it's out...preach the gospel as if it's your last day to tell folks about Jesus and love you kiddos with everything you have...

We did have one or two cold days...here are some pics of the boys!

Twiggisms

Boys fighting before dinner...Shawn says: Sit down...right now...don't you want to act like a civilized human being...Jake's response...NO!

Jacob tells me he would like to marry me...I said buddy you can't marry your mommy I'm already married to daddy...he says but I cuter I has dimples.

I set up a baracade so that Evan will stay in the living room using chairs turned opposite of each other...he crawls through all the holes and then looks back and laughs. Ben said "you can't keep a good man down"

Jacob falls backwards off the back of the couch directly on his head while playing his DS...I run over are you ok...he says is my DS Ok...yup I'm fine.

Ben brings a Joe Corbi's Pizza order form home for church basketball...I said go upstairs to daddy's office and see if you can sell something...so he comes down and says well out of everyone there everyone ordered something I said that's great! He said yeah too bad there was only one person there...lol
