Where am I??????

I have been asking myself this question daily. I sometimes feel like I am meeting myself coming and going. Such is life these days. It seems like we are even more busy than before. One of us is constantly gone, Caleb told us the other night that he needed to just stay home, so that he could play. I tried to explain to him that we had to get other things done and that required us to be gone. He told me to hurry up so that we could talk. When asked what he wanted to talk about , he told me "I love you and need tention(short for attention). He gets to me and knows it. SO of course I stopped right there and gave him some extra time. Normally it would have gotten to the OCD part of me, but I have to stop and take advantage of those moments that can be stolen and live and love in it.
It is so amazing how a child changes your perspective and how they make you look at things so different. Last night Caleb came across a garden snake, he was mesmerized by it. The little boy up the street came and cut it's head, to which Caleb promptly replied "COOOOL". I said gross. He just stood there staring at it, wanting to know why it wasn't moving any more, and then thought if we prayed that Jesus would heal it like the man in the book(the cripple man in the Bible). I did not know how to explain that one. The faith of a child, no wonder why GOd wants us to have that type of faith. Unwavering, unquestioned, so pure. Thank you Lord for my precious children that remind me daily of you grace, mercy and love. I truly am blessed.

You got tears in my eyes. It is so easy to get caught up in a the things we have to do and miss our kids when they are right there. It does affect them when they don't get enough tension :) Too adorable!!!!! Praise God he "used his words" instead of getting in trouble. That is a Very mature response that he had to his need for his mommy! What an absolutely adorable little man :P It is such a good lesson. I can even be with my kids all day and then miss them when they are in bed because I finally have down time and remember that I really didn't spend quality time with them.

You guys must be doing a super job with that boys spiritual training. I think you have a little minister on your hands :) He can take over his daddy's boss' ministry!!

Love you much. You are an amazing woman. Keep your head up...your eyes on Christ and your heart bent in prayer. I am praying for you. Somehow "this too shall pass". Thanks for being so honest in your sharing!

love you all so much.
It is amazing how much of an encouragement you all are to me.
Caleb was prayed for before he arrived, during his nesting and then after he arrived and to this very day.
Monica you angels are amazing and do not think for one moment that you do not catch what they do. You too are an amazing mom.
San, you are the most influential person in Sami's life. and though you are not with her 24/7 she will look to you for direction and guidance. and from what I can see you are doing a terrific job with her.
Our children are who and what they are because of their PARENTS! that says alot for us, we are Super because God made us that way!
