A Word from Me

I have spent much time this last month with the A-Z Challenge, a horrible virus turned into Bronchitis, a bad back, and not much time in the Word.  This has led to the old habit of just not reaching for my bible, and while I have a wonderful relationship with my Savior, I have been neglecting Him for too long this last month or so.  He still loves me, that never changes.  I am not a failure, and my failure to read my bible does not define who I am.

Due to being sick and hurt I have missed church 4 times in a row, eek! My teenage son has lectured me saying, "you should be in church even if you are sicker than a dog." I lovingly explained to him that no one wants my germs, after all I was contagious, and then went on to explain that God does not hold it against me when I am sick and unable to get out to church.  Church is not the building but the people, and I have missed being in "Church".

I will be starting up again with the Survey Bible Reading Plan this next week, I believe that it is important to be in the Word in some capacity.  Being in the Word keeps me focused on my relationship with Jesus Christ and focused on how I need to be living.

My daily posts will not always be on the serious side, some of what I write is just stuff, but there is always my faith running through all I put up, because my faith is who I am every day.  I try to be the same in everything I do, I am a child of God first and foremost, and everything else after that is because of the relationship I have with Jesus Christ. I am just me, I am funny, quirky, serious, loving, but in all those things I am still a child of the Most High, the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. 

When you come to my blog, you may find something funny and completely void of scripture references, or you may find a weekly meme, what I am trying to say is this: I am a child of God, regardless of whether my daily blog post has scripture running through it. I am a child of God, I am a Mother, Wife, Daughter, Sister, and Friend, who says I can't multi-task!  Let me re-iterate, my failures do not define me, nor do yours define you!

 I believe in the sun even when it is not shining. I believe in love even when I feel it not. I believe in God even when He is silent. *Written on a wall in a concentration camp*

I haz a bug

Hey all, just wanted to give you a heads up.  I will not be posting anything tomorrow or the next few days except for my A-Z Challenge pieces. 

This viral ICK I have is really kicking my butt, so I will be taking a few days off from posting anything heavy that requires too much thought!  I wrote my next few posts for the Challenge ahead of time (last week) so it is all good. 

Thank you to all who have been by and have checked out my made-over blog, especially since ya'll left me some wonderful comments, and for those of you who have been so gracious as to follow me, thanks from the bottom of my little pea pickin' heart. I just love all my followers and fellow bloggers so much, and I wanted ya'll to know I'm taking a little break for just a few days til I get some relief from this ICK. 

My Weary Weekend!

I was sick this last weekend, yay me! This pretty much sums up how totally wonderful I felt.

You know how it feels when you just feel...blech?  Well that is pretty much how I felt all weekend.  I did fold some laundry on Sunday, but other than that I was in or on my bed the whole excruciatingly freaking time.

Ladies, you all know how it is when you are sick...the kids seem to get a little more wild and crazy rambunctious and the house seems to get messy all on it's own, kinda like this..

Yup that pretty much sums it up!  Although I have to say the hubby did a great job taking care of things around here, I mean he cooked and got the kids to do some cleaning and even some outside work...Go Hubby! I am especially blessed to have this guy, he's a keeper...and he took great care of me and the kids this last weekend so he deserves some applause...

I also missed Church on Sunday, which is a bummer because well, obviously I missed out on a great sermon, no doubt, but also my son played in the Worship band again.  Well at least I will get to be there on Easter Sunday when he will be playing again.  Woohoo!

Okay, that is pretty much the whole She-bang for me...so now would you please leave me a comment or two as I absoluely love to hear what you have to say! God bless and May His face shine upon you today and beyond!

~Sick Ramblings~

I will start this post with "I'm sick".  I have been feeling run down the last few days, but last night I really started to feel...ick! So I finished up my blogging and got into bed, and today has just been one of "Those" days.  You know the kind, where you are in bed all day watching movies and bad t.v. 

It's all good though, it gives me time to think about ideas for blogging and other really important things like;  how come laying in bed all day seems to make whatever illness or pain you have just a little bit worse? Or have you ever noticed the ceiling pictures above your head look like dragons and mice? Oh sorry, I was fading there a bit! (and I'm not even on Nyquil or anything)

I will be going for now, before I start rambling extremely forbidden scary stuff, so as usual when you are done thoroughly entertaining yourself  reading my blog post please leave me a lovely bit of yourself in a comment.  I love to hear what you lovely ladies and handsome men have to say. God bless and May His face shine upon you today and beyond!
