Cute friend and a baby

I am not sure if I have made the announcement on the blog, but I currently have a little more time on my hands. I moved from working full time to as needed at work so that I can focus on trying to find another job as quickly as possible and have more availability. I was feeling very overwhelmed and was in major need for a quick retreat and some time away from the house and Sally suggested we meet up at Commerce.

Commerce has some outlets and places to eat, but the best part is that is about 1 hour for both Sally and myself and makes for an easy day trip. So, Sally and her sweet baby Daye came and we all spent some time together. We ate and browsed and found so many cute, cute outfits for Daye. We only bought 2 outfits though, and Sally was experiencing some serious buyer's remorse even thought she only spent 16.00. So, I had to talk her through it and she ended up keeping the cutest tutu for Daye that I have ever seen in my entire life. Here is a picture of the doll baby in it:
I mean, seriously?? How precious??



It was great just to spend time with these two precious friends. I only have pictures of Daye and myself...to bad I didn't get any of mama and baby. I also didn't have my camera so the ones featured are from Sal's blog or from my phone.

I could not believe how much bigger Daye is getting!! It is so amazing to watch this sweet girl grow and mature. She is following people with her eyes and grasping and is such a wiggle worm. At one point during lunch, we looked up and Daye had almost done a complete turn over while in the car seat (not buckled in)....I am sure that takes some extreme strength and talent. It was fun to be able to spend some good time together and it was really good for my heart to be with them for a little while.

Thanks, girls for making the trip.  It was great!! Love y'all!!

The Shame Game

Ashamed. That is one of the main feelings I can use to describe how I have felt this week. Ashamed. When my 4 year old fought against 3, yes 3, grown medical professionals trying to obtain a strep test (which he did have). I saw the looks they exchanged as he bit the tongue depressor and gritted his teeth and made their job a living nightmare. Ashamed. When it was my two boys fighting that caused the other little boy to run and tell his mom that they were making his play time not so much fun and then they left. I felt like I saw a look that she gave me too. Ashamed. As I carried two bawling, boneless children through Publix trying to get to my car after they pitched royal fits through most of the checkout line. I saw the look my grocery cart helper and an older lady walking by exchanged as they took in my helpless state against the two raging children. Ashamed. When I lost it on my 6 year old who needed me to stay in the room so he could go to sleep when I was trying to

On Faith and Suffering

Suffering....it is not an easy thing to bear up under. I feel that as life goes on, I am seeing more and more suffering around me. I have recently been through a tough season in my life. In the midst of difficult circumstances, it has caused me to look to God and question at times. I think sometimes in the Christian life, we are told, “Don’t question. Just believe. God is good all the time.” This, of course, is true but I think there is true beauty in the wrestling. In the coming out on the other side having a deeper faith because of where God has taken you on the journey. I have recently been reading in Hebrews and like God does, He somehow lined up the Scriptures and where I was reading to answer some of my questions right in the face. Questions like... “Why do people who love you have to suffer?” “I understand suffering is for your glory, but we already love you and are about your glory so do we have to go through it?” “Are you really big enough? Good? Faithful?” “Is it
