Blogging Beginnings!

My boys are growing up right in front of my eyes and I can't remember today all the cute things they did and said 2 weeks or even 2 days ago....and this makes my heart sad...so today I start blogging!! I've tried posting on circle of moms on facebook, but it just doesn't seem to be enough...so here we go...I'm blogging.....for my God...my husband...my babies...my family....my future...and my peace of mind :) Just an example of some things I like to remember...today my sweet little Hayes dressed himself in a tank top and non-matching swimming shorts. Mind you it has been warm, but today the high was only 62 degrees and I wanted to take some pictures. I told him it was too cold for shorts. He said in a very respectable way...."Mommy, you're wrong just this one time; come see." I looked at HB (who was home for a couple of hours today by the way, hooray), repeated to him what Hayes had said and we busted out laughing. I LOVE those little priceless moments. I wish I knew they were coming so I could record them all. Hearing his little voice makes all the difference. I can't remember who, but someone told me something that really has changed my life. Upon hearing my comment that if I was rich I'd have someone recording my life, especially my babies every moment, they said but then you would never have time to watch them all, so just fully enjoy every moment....and since that conversation I really am trying.. and when I find myself taking "time" for granted I remember this and try to do better by living each and every moment to it's fullest!!
Another reason for blogging: In the last few months/year God has really been rearranging my life! He has captured me and I'm Loving it! It's been a LONG time since I've felt this fulfilled and confident in the person I am through Christ. All that being said God is doing and speaking some awesome things in my life & those around me and I love to be able to write these things down and come back to them at a later date. Even writing prayer request and seeing them answered is awesome. The Lord speaks things sometimes and then it comes to past....and I want to see it documented before it happens so I can go back and say to myself....see God is working...though I already know He is....know what I mean....it just an exciting time for me and I'm ecstatic about sharing it!!!
I love my God, my Lord, my dear husband, and my children and am excited to have a place to keep these precious thoughts and share my life.....that really is not mine, but my Savior's!
