Time together!

Yesterday, the kids and I had a lot of fun together!  Sunday evenings, I have been trying to do more fun things with them just because its about our only day of nothing to do but attend church! 

So, yesterday, we made COOKIES!!!  The kids love chocolate chip cookies.  It's fun to watch them explore measurements and learn to make things on their own.  They really enjoyed it! 

We did one other thing after we were done with the cookies but for today's entry it is top secret!!!  We made Papaw Stumps birthday present! :)  So, in a few days, I'll post some pictures and let you see just how much fun we had! 

The older two (during little brothers nap) went out to play yesterday.  It was in the 50's and let me tell you, they are ready for spring to come!  They had so much fun running and playing in the back yard.  Hearing their giggles as I watched from the table/window just made my day! 

Take time to enjoy today!  Find something that will make you smile and realize that God himself created that moment just for you!  Every time I hear a giggle, I see the joy on their faces or stop and ponder the reality of what we really do have... I'm reminded we are blessed!  Blessed because God loves me enough to give me and every one else moments of joy! 
 
Feeling blessed!

 I went to Muncie today, just JJ and me.  Have you ever had that moment you really just needed a breakthrough with God, and it happens when you least expect it?  That was me today!    Life has been a real different journey for me lately.  With a fairly new diagnosis of my own health, learning the tests results, trying to learn the daily routine of what I need and then learning to cope with the fact my health is not what it once was.    I knew this bothered me, but I didn't realize to the extent that it made me struggle!  Today, as I was driving and listening to this song, something snapped in me.  I realized that my health issues don't have to bring me down.  The words to a song came on and started to hit me really hard!  This is what they said "There's a peace  I have come to know. Though my heart & flesh my fail. There's an anchor for my soul. I can sing it is well."   I haven't sang "it is well for a long time"... instead I

Turn of events...

My life has taken a sudden change... everything I once knew... it feels I no longer know.  I was admitted 2 1/2 weeks ago because of my aspiration issues and a Peg tube (feeding tube) was placed in my abdomen.  I went in with the understanding this was going to be supplemental... and I came out learning this was it... This was my sole nutrition.... The words NPO indefinitely were written in bold letters across the note from my surgeon and team of doctors (NPO meaning... nothing by mouth).  You don't realize how big that word Indefinite is... until it's placed on something major in your life.  This has been a hard road.  I have put on my bravest most strongest face I can... but there are moments... daily moments... I find myself broken... I feel so much better now with my health that it makes it all worthwhile but for me... for many... food is social!  We get together and we eat.... we have parties and we eat... we have victories and we eat... we go on dates and we eat...

I had some friends challenge me not long ago about doing art journaling.  I LOVE to draw, but honestly, any more, it is an energy issue for me.  My hands fatigue quickly.  So, I've been trying to think what I could do.  Abby (my daughter) is doing a photo challenge right now for 31 days and she mentioned I could do it with her.  I accepted the challenge.  It's been fun trying to help her learn and figure things out.  So, here's what I'm going to do... I'm taking on the 31 day challenge but I'm going to tie it into my journaling/quiet time each day.  Being a medical mama, my life is busy and I can promise you, I won't be doing 31 consecutive days, however, I will do my 31 days and see what we come up with!  So, day one:  Up close        Looking at this photo, I see broken.  Everything else around the broken area is a blur.  For me, I think this has been life all too often here lately.    Sometimes, in the midst of the mire and the muck
