Without a doubt

I wish I could  open my eyes every morning lay in my bed,take a moment to admire the birds chirping and the sunshine rays coming through my window,do my devotions with a nice cup of hot coffee in the quiet, in my comfy corner of my couch wrapped up in my favorite throw, But not everything is perfect in dream land.

Usually Im awaken by a big thump, a child running in the hallway, someone yelling "STOP"!!! or a dog scratching away at her neck making an annoying noise with her collar chain. So up I jump and run to take care of whatever is going on.....BESIDES IM NOT A MORNING PERSON EITHER.

My morning devotions are most likely to take place during playtime with the background music of Barney or what ever show they decided to have on while they run around and wont sit down to watch it but it is forbidden for me to touch the remote.Ice coffee and I occasionally have to stop to say "leave your sister alone" or "get off the table" or my favorite "DO NOT THROW THAT" or maybe during nap time.

But, even that way it is my time with God and I enjoy it and every once in a while I get to have worship music and the babies and I get to have worship service in the middle of our living room.

During this weeks devotion God was just so faithful as always to remind me that no matter how things are going of how bad the day may be, He is still God, the almighty God, the great IAM and  His calling doesn't change it stands the same and He will equip me to fulfill and carry out the task that He has entrusted me with,to remember not to doubt in myself,not to stand too long in the circle of doubt that will eventually become a sink whole and swallow me up,putting a hold on the great plan and blessings God has prepared for me and my family.

So without a doubt I stand tall and say." Father let every sight of doubt disappear let me continually be transform by your love,may your presence overtake any fears give me a vibrant and joyful day let me shine for you in everything I do or say. Remind me during the day that your plans are bigger than I ever imagine and that your paths are higher let me seek your face in every extra change I get that as long as I live i will hunger and thirst for you daily"

In the slow lane

It's said that a mother's job is never done no weekends or holidays off. 24/7 all year round. Meetings,Doctor's appointments,school projects,groceries,laundry,meals,and the list goes on.... After years in the fast lane and none stop speeding you get to a point where you run into the slow lane.  No matter how many kisses and snuggles you get it doesn't change the fact that your body is feeling the effects of running on 4 hrs of sleep and the lack of caffeine.No energy left and the house looking like a tornado just crossed through it.Just the thought of the many things that need to be done exhaust you even more. The daily routine becomes a norm and you realize that you have taken the load on yourself and that the people that care for you want to give you a little push and help you carry the load but you don't know how to ask for the help or even let go and accept the help.  How do you let go? How do you ride the slow lane? How do accept a lending  hand?   Lord It'...

And her heavy load

25 days ago I started jogging/walking to check the mail,in the evenings. Which is 1/4 of a mile from the house. I jog/walk all the way down and another 1/4 mile to a turn around circle at the end of our street,and walk back home on an incline driveway. It’s my“me time”at the of the day, it challenges me to finish what I started. Every evening I get to run along side a momma deer and her baby. I’ve set 6 weight goals,reach my 1st and one lbs away from my 2nd goal. It’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever done,because I love to be in the comfort of my home,love my food and my AC. 7 years ago I had a VSG (vertical sleeve gastronomy ) done a TOOL to help with weight loss,not the solution but a tool.After a year I reached my goal weight ,and got comfortable and started back on old non healthy habits,this caused half of the weight to come back on.The struggle is real weight loss surgery is not the easy way out ,specially when you have complications after surgery.It’s just a jump start to ge...

with a broken heart

4 years ago Huela Marta lost her battle to cancer only 6 months after being diagnosed.I can still remember the day we took her into the Urgent care for a bad toothache she had and being told she had a walking pneumonia,I remember the day she was at the hospital because she wasn't getting better and the oncologist coming in and so very sweetly and caring delivered the big C news.Us having to translate to her what it meant and her nodding her head saying "OK,OK" we could tell in her face she thought she was going to do treatment and be ok.But,we knew that stage 4 at her age of 82 was not looking good. I remember her making the best of those months before she got really sick.I spent the last week with her and help take car of her,she fought to the very end we ate together talked laugh, cried and reminisced on all the good times we had together.  She loved her family seeing us happy made her happy.Time hasn't made her absence any easier when I see my little ones running a...
