What Problem?

Every morning the first thing I say is, "Thank You Lord for waking me up today". Yesterday as I said that I began to think about all the battles and struggles I/we constantly endure as single parents or even just as people. We constantly allow our minds to zoom in on how big our problem/situation is. Then I realized how Satan only allows us to focus our mind on the storms in our life. As I began to wrap my mind around that I realized that I have in the last few months especially, allowed my joy to be taken. I have so much to be thankful and grateful for in spite of any struggle I have. I have two of the most beautiful and healthy children in the world, I have food on my table, clothes on our backs, shoes on our feet, two jobs, God made a way for me to go back to school, I have some of the most AWESOME friends, God always makes a way financially and honestly there have been times when I'm not real sure how he did that. My daughter had severe pneumonia in January and God brought her through. I have a GREAT family. I mean I could indeed go on forever about all the blessings God is placing and has placed in my life. I just wanted to share this with you all because most of the time we have blinders that only allow us to view our circumstance or situation when if we really sat quiet for a moment and counted our blessings we'd truly see we are so rich and our struggles seem so small compared to all we've been given. So I encourage you to look at those problems and don't see how big they are; tell them how big your God is!!

Moms See

I am so sorry it's been so long since I made a post, as you know life gets busy and some things take the back burner. This was on a friend's blog and I enjoyed it so much that I decided to post it as well. Thanks Tuh, lol!!

Moms see the beauty in dandelion bouquets and know the importance of declaring each and every drawing a work of art.
Moms find the magic in blankets that become tents, in backyard adventures, and stories that fall upon sleepy little ears.
Moms know the fun of jumping on beds and hanging upside-down, and giggles that just won't quit.
Moms are the greatest-especially ones who have the gift of seeing life through the eyes of a child.
