Still snowed in...

We are still snowed in, and our plans to build a snowman have been delayed. Mykenza has had a high fever since lastnight. So...I guess I am going to be forced to clean my house, LOL. Its weird how much you depend on the "outside" so much... I really have nowhere to go, because my work is closed, but since I cant go anywhere , I want to. oh well, atleat my house will get clean, and I get to spend time w/ the kiddos.

Snow, Snow, and more Snow...

What is w/ this weather? One day its getting warmer, and this snow is leaving us. And BAMB we get hit w/ a blizzard!!! It feels like its never going to end. I cant get out of my driveway, and noone can get in my driveway. My husband went out to plow it, and the 4 wheeler got stuck!!! So as we are prisoners in our own home, my daughters and I have been playing games, cooking up a storm, and watching more snow fall out of the sky... Needless to say, today is my birthday! Its ok though, I hadnt planned on going anywhere anyways, except to pick up a friend, but mother nature has spoiled those plans for a bit... My kids are excited to go out and play in this beautiful snow, we are going to tomorrow, we will be building our FIRST snowman. Maysin is almost 4 yrs old, and Mykenza is almost 3 yrs old, and we have NEVER built a snowman. Every year we have gotten snow, its either not good packing snow or its to cold out... So we are praying for a decent temperature tomorrow so we can follow through w/ our plans. My husband is back at it again trying to get the snow plowed, did I mention that my van is stuck in the middle of the driveway, I made it half way up and had to pound through the 2 ft of snow I fell 100 times, it was funny and nerve racking at the same time, but I got in the house safe, soaked too I might add. LOL. I feel bad for Jarrod, he is so frustrated, and I would imagine very cold. So I am going to make him a BIG dinner, and I have a cake in the oven, and maybe a nice cup of hot chocolate.* He needs Jesus by the way, so everyone reading this please keep him in your prayers. The Lord has touched his heart a little bit, but he doenst know Him yet, so... Im like a dripping faucet, always asking people to pray for Jarrod, LOL...But anyways, God Bless everyone and stay warm... Chow for now...

HIT SAVE!!!!

I am soooooooooo mad at myself right now. I have been on this dang computer for the last hour blogging, guess what I forgot to do? HIT THE SAVE BUTTON before I hit the edit button! Lost the whole post... imagine that.AAAAHHHHAAAAAHHHH!!!!

Princess on ice show

We went to chicago last weekend to take the girls to see the Princess on ice show. Its was AWESOME!!!! I dont know who enjoyed it better me or the girls... They had every Disney princess there, aswell as a dragon w/ real fire coming out of his mouth, and carriage w/ fireworks coming off of it. It was a great time. My mom and stepdad took us, they spoiled the girls to no end, with popcorn, cotton candy, pop, 2 different toys, that I might add were way to expensive! But we all had a great time, not only was it fun to see the show, but it is always good to see family. We had some car trouble, but I am not going into that because I dont want to spoil the story...

Humbled...

Today I had something happen to me that some of you may think I am overreacting, but I take it as a wake up call. I was pumping gas and was cold so I got back into my van, gas was done pumping, I got out and grabbed the pump and was shocked by static electricity. FREAKED ME OUT!!! Not only was I freaked out because I couldve just lost my life, but after I started to think about it, I was very convicted and humbled. I began to think and think some more, tried to talk to an acquaintance about it , but she doesnt believe in me, she just looks at me as a baby believer, so... Nothing got accomplished there, I just got more upset. I got to talk to my Best Friend/Brother about it and as always he helps me through things like this, talked briefly w/ another friend and she seems to think I am to hard on myself, that I am "so awesome". I disagree.

I dont think I am hard enough on myself, I need to raise the bars a little, I feel and have felt for some time now that God is calling me to be more like Him, have a heart more like His, an attitude more like His, be more of a role model to others. Bottom line is that I am NOT ready to go before Him, I am scared of what He would say, think, and do. My goal is to be seated at His right hand, be favored by Him. Today if i had blown up, I really dont think He would have the attitude I want Him to have w/ me.

Yeah it scared me too because I thought of my girls not having me, and that hurts me because my husband isn't saved and who would raise them to follow Christ? Not anyone in my family, they wouldn't even know the church family anymore.
I really do believe that today was a wake up call from God. I need to be more aware of my surroundings, my attitude, above all not allowing my life to be a stage, it HAS to be an altar. I can't allow my old ways to be present in my life anymore. I have to step up and step out of the bad behaviors that surround me, not allow people to act in an ungodly manner around me anymore, if I allow it to go on, I am just as bad as they are.Be careful of what your eyes see, and be careful of what your ears hear. Junk goes in, Junk comes out.

I just pray for the Lord to open my eyes to what He wants me to do, who He wants me to be, and most of all, to just help me, and to make me the Godliest of all Godly women. I want people to look at me and say " WOW, she is a Godly woman, she Loves the Lord like no other!" People know I have changed and recognize the Godliness I now hold in my heart, but so many still see the old me, and I just cant have that anymore, like I said before I have to raise the bars a little, and really make sure people see God when they look at me...

Each time he said, "My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness." So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. 2Corinthians 12:9
