38 As Jesus and the disciples continued on their way to Jerusalem, they came to a certain village where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home.39 Her sister, Mary, sat at the Lord’s feet, listening to what he taught.
40 But Martha was distracted by the big dinner she was preparing. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, doesn’t it seem unfair to you that my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and help me.”
41 But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details!
42 There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.”
You see I am very much a Martha! I like to have a clean house and be organized and have laundry done and all the good things that come along with taking care of a house. This month I have learned, yes those are important but not as important as time with my wonderful husband and my precious baby boy. It is a hard thing for me to get used to but I am. So, if you come to my house, you might find dirty dishes in the sink, or laundry in the laundry room, or a bed that is unmade, or a bathroom counter that isnt spotless, but you WILL find me laughing and tickling my little boy, talking to my husband, and enjoying my little family. You will find me doing the important things in life - time with my boys.
I posted a note to facebook about prayer. How I was going to pray more for people. I really have this month. It is such a joy. The peace that Jesus brings when you pray to Him is so great. (This is in no way to brag that I pray a lot but to show my Jesus off) I have had the privilege (anytime I get to go to the Father on behalf of someone else its a privilege) of prayer for sick people, for sick babies, for marriages, for healing, for peace, for direction, for changes in hearts, for youth, for financial issues, for school, and many things. I have gotten to see some of these prayers answered and some not. BUT I know God hears them all. If you have anything you would like prayer for, please let me know. I want to lift you up to our Lord.
I am enjoying my little boy so much and watching him grow! Here is a little of what he is doing: talking up a storm, grabbing and eating his feet, almost putting his paci in his mouth by himself, laughing, almost sitting up on his own, reaching for toys, sleeping through the night without swaddle, and growing like a weed! He is almost 16 pounds! I never knew I could love a little boy as much as I love him! Being a mom is one of the greatest blessing I have ever had!!
Working is really hard for me. I know people say that it gets better and I guess it has. I dont cry everyday when I leave him and I dont cry at work but I miss him so terribly much all day. It makes me so sad when I see stay at home moms pictures on facebook of their days - going to the store, play dates, picnics with their kids, etc. I am missing out on all of that and it breaks my heart. I broke down yesterday. I cried all the way home and until Brody got home with Aaron and some after he was home. I cannot even really explain how much I want to work from home. Right now, I have not been able to do that. Maybe one day the Lord will bless us in that way and allow me to work from home and still make the income that we need for our financial stability. Praying at least!
Sometimes I just stare at Brody. I want to soak in every second I have with him because I know it will go by so fast!!! I try to enjoy each and every second with him before he is going off to college!
I love my husband. He is so supportive and such a good daddy! I am so lucky to have him in my life!
I have been doing some more pictures. I have not been doing a ton simply because I dont have a ton of extra time and the extra time I do have, I want to spend with my family. It is hard though because I love doing pictures but I also love that time with my little family.
There is a look into the randomness of my mind this month! Have a great day!
