Snuggled and Snoring


You know how people have a special spot to sit in think... ie the toliet, bathtub, kitchen, etc. Well, I have two. Lately I haven't been able to go to my thinking spot at Turkey Creek; mainly because I have been so busy. My other one is (promise not to laugh) snuggled between my babies at night in bed. There is just smoething about the dark and the light snoring of two dogs. Yeah, my dogs snore... and yeah, to me snoring is actually relaxing. But anyways, I got to thinking or more reflecting on the past week or so. A very wonderful person sent me an email that made me bawl my eyes out, but in a good way. They said everything that I kinda already knew but refused to listen to. (I am very stubborn if you haven't noticed.) It's kinda like your mom telling you that outfit doesn't match, but you say whatever cause it's your mom. But when you get to school and your friends tell you it's a whole nother story. Well, the same thing is happening here. I know what God wants me to do, but I have been stubborn. It's only when the email and April said the same thing that I listened. It does break my heart to back up and let God handle it. I've already invested my heart, time, and energy into it. Not to mention, breaking almost all of my rules :). I know that deep down, I could spend the rest of my life serving God and be completly happy. I want His will and glory to be seen. Right now, he wants to use me to work with these kids at church. God has always meet my needs and sometimes my desries. He knows that I desire a large family and handsome husband, but I know now that when the time is right it will perfect. I have to remeber "I am Third!"

Thanks so much for being true friends! I can't tell you how much it means. I ask that you guys pray for the kids tomorrow. And Missy and Valerie, I would love to do joint human videos and songs with you guys. That would be awesome. Oh, and I don't mind seeing that movie with you guys. I hope you don't mind a little 21 year old tag-a-long ;)!

**Never question in the darkness what God has given you in the light.**

The fun thing about the body of Christ and blog land (not that the 2 compare at all!) is that age is not an object :)

I'm excited for you to be serving at Church in these various areas. God has definetly given you a heart to serve. Keep it up!

I'm glad you've regained your focus. It will all work out according to His plan. I'm praying for you.

I absolutely love the picture!!!! I have four babies so I completely understand - unconditional love!! My Hoss snores too.

I think that God has special plans for you so just be patient. You are in my prayers as always!

I can't wait for that movie to come out! Did you see where "The Notebook" was coming on TV on August 15th (thank goodness for Tivo)
