3 confessions

1. confession:i love to brag on my husband. he is such a Godly man. i love his heart for the Lord. and i get to see it trully up close and personal. being married for over 4 years, i have been able to catch his relationship change and get more intimate. TODAY, he started a series in chapel at school on the body of Christ, something the Lord has laid on his heart for almost a year. aj was a part of the begining of the talk and did great while i stood off to the side. SOOO cute!



2. confession:i was tested like never before by my son last night. i used to think that my husband could really test my patience, but no... way wrong. aj was just testy for about an hour before bed time. we had run to target, and he talked VERY loudly the 10 mintue ride home. then he did not want a bath. then he did not want his bottle. FINALLY, we were on the ground battling a diaper change and sleeper outfit. after saying "STOP, AJ" in a not very good tone and volume, i felt my insides getting hot. the Lord brought the words of the song "Jesus loves the little children" out of my mouth. it calmed me down and aj laughed his way to bed. then adam came home and i told him he could do whatever he wanted and i had no cares.



3. confession: i do not always feel bad after leaving my baby for a work day. when i go to pick aj up and he is sleeping so cozyish with his pops, my heart melts and the world is okay.

I had one of those days as well - wanting to scream by about 4:00 and God reminded me what "could have been" with Levi...I am thankful for those reminders He gives us when we are at the end of our own patience. So thankful for you, Adam and AJ at PCA...we have to take the boys and walk and catch up sometime very soon!!!
