the perfect night?

zumba and moose tracks ice cream.. do they cancel each other out? :)

also.. i had a fantastic cutting/sewing day :) tomorrow i'll put snaps on these 5 diapers and mail them w/ the rest of the shipping items. and FINALLY sold the Autism os aio. :) YAY!

Psalm 150

"Praise the Lord.
Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his might heavens.
Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness.
Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre,
praise him with tambourine and dancing,
praise him with the strings and flute,
praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals.

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
PRAISE THE LORD."

------------
this is not a suggestion.

this is a command.

If you are a follower of Christ, you are to be praising the Lord with everything you have, in everything you do.
There are MANY ways to praise.. also put into song by Carmen, on the CD R.I.O.T (righteous invasion of truth).
7 ways to praise- towdah= sacrifice, yadah= lift your hands, barouch= to bow, shabach= the shout, zamar= to play an instrument, halell= rave and boast.

so you see.. no matter your circumstances, no matter your strenth or weakness, you can glorify and praise the Lord.

and my prayer is that, in everything I do, I am praising Him.
doing what He would do
being who He wants me to be.
Because that is what I was created for.

Christian: a person who exemplifies in his or her life the teachings of Christ.

If I am not following His word, what good is my faith?

a workout ;)

my oldest and my youngest found me jogging and stretching in my sewing room, and decided to join me and create a workout :) and this actually felt REALLY good! :) have your kids help you sometime, you might be surprised! :D

youtube w/ me and the kids

my faith


i had to share this today

When I say "I am a Christian," I'm not claiming to be perfect; my flaws are way too visible, but God believes I am worth it. When I say "I am a Christian," I am not holier than thou~I am just a sinner who received God's grace somehow.~Maya Angelou

fat



it's one of those days where you think everyone else looks awesome, and you look blah.
:(

i need a pick me up.. like.. a homemade chocolate shake. mmmmm

we went out to the lake with some friends last night.. and she looks freakin awesome in a two piece (Zonya from Zonya Healthy International) and even though she said i looked great.. i didn't feel like it.

one of my other friends has the same age children as my two youngest.. and she looks awesome too.

i KNOW i need to remember that I AM HEALTHY FOR ME. and that EVERY body is different.

but for today.. i'll just try and make myself feel good about me.
hug me, Brian. I need it.

just my view

it's funny.. i get emails about staying healthy and different diets, and "get slim in 6 weeks" stuff.

funny thing is? some i delete, some i actually look at.. why? because i'm human, and i really do want to look my best!

God's view of it?
keep your body healthy, yes, but that doesn't mean you need to go to extremes to find that.
your goal shouldn't be to look a certain way, or be a certain way..

you need to be fit and healthy.. not look like Kim Kardashian.. why? Cause you're not Kim Kardashian.

you have YOUR body, not someone else's.
i find that i am the most happy and healthy, when i just eat the way i like to eat (a daily diet full of veggies, meats, milk, water and fruit) and keep active with my kids. :)

and now that i'm making myself a daily schedule (just what i want to get done during that day), i can throw in little things in between.

it's not about losing a bunch of weight, or wearing a certain dress or pant size. it's about being HEALTHY and making sure you are YOU.

*was i on a soap box? if so, i'm stepping down now ;)

oi oi oi

omgosh..
what a morning so far..

i woke up just fine.. pretty tired still.. but hey.. *shrugs
had some coffee
fried up some hashbrowns with onion.. shared one of my hubby's egg and burger burritos..

got an email from Checks Unlimited saying they needed more info for our order, so we figured out how to scan in a check, and email it to them.
apparently they aren't allowed to open attachments.. so i called them instead.. got it figured out.. yay.. new checks are on the way :)

then my brain decided to go into overload.. all the stuff i have to get done.. and not having enough time to do it all.. ya know.. i got snappy and emotional.. ugh.. i hate feeling that way

so FINALLY i made a list of things i have to do.. knocked out a couple of them (put away the diapers, change jazmine's bed, pick up their room)

i'm going to HAVE to get rid of some of their toys.. whether they like it or not they have WAY too much stuff in their room.
they WILL be upset with me.. i guarantee it.. but i won't take away the things they love the most.. and these will go to the consignment store for other kids who don't have toys ;) my girls usually love to help as long as they know it's going to help another child :) which i think is SOO sweet..

so today.. i'm going to sew until Stephanie comes (50 minutes or so).. then lunch.. then hoping to sew some more until the babysitter comes to take zoe..


me, daddy, jazmine and alivia are going on a date :) going to see Cars 2 and mcd's :) and i'm buying :) i feel excited about that :) YAY! :)

makes me feel good when i can pay for little things :)
the bills are paid and i have extra cash.. thank you God for making all this possible!

cause without Him? i'm SURE my life would be a chaotic mess..
He's amazing
