30 Days of Thankfulness ~ #9


I am thankful for my Becca, or "Rebecca _ Horry Child" as she told people for many years.

   
My girl who got my genes.  She looks so much like her Momma.  Fair skin that burns just thinking of the sun and blue eyes that have stayed true to blue.  For the most part that is where she stops being so much like me.  In most other areas she is very much like her Daddy.  (That is probably why we get along so well!)  She is adventurous and not really afraid to try just about anything.  She is the one who had her sister take off her training wheels and flew on her bike never looking back.  She has a bit of a temper which she is learning to curb.  My Becca has her mind made up.  All she wants to do is "get a husband and have children".  And as much as we try to get her to understand that only God knows who her husband will be, she has one named (the same little boy going on 2 years...eeek!).  My girl will break out in dance at any given moment if the beat strikes her ~ that from me.  She loves to be silly.  To play.  To enjoy those around her.  She is always thinking of others.  Not a day goes by that she isn't making a picture for a friend, Sunday School teacher, or family member.  She is very competitive and unfortunately cares too much about what others think of her.  Her heart is soft and easily breaks.  My Becca loves the Lord.  I pray that she will fall more and more in love with Him each day as He is the one that will never break her sweet and loving heart.  I love you my Becca Doodle!

Her Daddy also had his bride picked out at her age. Guess what - he changed his mind when he got older and picked someone from far, far away.

In-ten-tion-al-ly

adverb : intentionally, deliberately, on purpose, purposefully, knowingly, wittingly, consciously, in full awareness Intentionally That is my word for 2015. A word that requires action. To live with intention; on purpose! To purposefully go about my days. No longer moving from one task to another just because it needs to be done. But to work towards an overall goal while doing those same tasks.   The goal with intention and purposeful living? To be purposeful in the role God has called me to. To be deliberate in sharing my faith. To be diligent in pouring over the scriptures. To be intentional when it comes to loving (RESPECTING) my husband.  To be purposeful in teaching my children and training them in righteousness. To make decisions according to knowledge, not flippantly or because that is what I am 'expected' to do. (Especially not because that is what I am expected to do.) To consciously create an atmosphere in our home that nurtures love, joy and contentment.  ...

Dream and have Courage

I walked down to the marsh today to see what my crazy dog was barking at. Instead of that, I found where my kiddos have made "their spot". They have carried all the cut offs and extra pieces from other projects and started a tree house pile.  I imagine they have been sitting in these little blue chairs. Sitting, looking up at this big, beautiful oak and dreaming about the great tree house that they are talking their daddy into building. Planing it all out in their minds. Little minds that think big grand plans. Fun plans. The kind of plans that I think too often adults forget to have. Or at least I know I don't take the time for. And I know I don't take the time needed to make these plans come to be.  There is always the immediate. The things that have to happen. All of the daily tasks that need to be checked off the list.  This was a reminder for me today. While there are a lot of things that need to be done, I need to chip away at the big, grand plans t...

Manic Monday:Our Day in pics

Raw and real : The highlights of our day.  Trying to transition to 1 nap a day. It's a little rough.  Hubby pressure washed the house over the weekend. I wanted to add a little beauty to the clean. Picked up the flowers and soil and then used cans I had saved and some spray paint from who knows what still kicking around. Can't help but to keep looking at them. I love the colors! Working on an order. I love pink and grey together.  Someone thought they needed some color. I didn't agree! Almost clean. Summer is almost here.  If you look really closely you will see two black bugs (yes on the black shovel, but they are there). He was very proud of them! A clean shower. Well sort of. I can't get this clean for anything. Any tips/tricks would be greatly appreciated.  Seems we were productive. In many ways we were. School was worked on. Many projects completed. However there are dishes in the sink tonight and dirty floors throughout. But, I am grateful that so much was...
