What to do...what to do?!?

Okay...well I think I'll start with books and just go from there!! lol....well I've been reading the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson...I am loving this series so far...I've read the first 4 books and I can't wait to get my hands on the next one...but I have to wait until the library gets it back in....so until then I'll be reading The Lost Saint....which is the second in the Dark Divine series by Bree Despain....and Absolution...the third and final book in the Heavenly series by Jennifer Laurens!! By the time I finish these 2 books I should have received the book I just won in a giveaway on goodreads....woo hoo...gotta love free books!! But...you know....as excited as I get about reading these books....there is one book I need to be more excited about reading...and that my friends....is the Bible!! I "try" to get my bible study time in every day....but quite frankly "trying" is not good enuf!! I have really been struggling lately with the whole jobless...feel like I should be doing something but not knowing what kinda thing!! And I know that only when I fully and totally seek God will He fully reveal to me what it is that I need to be doing...so here's the plan: I am going to make it a point to start my day with study and prayer...then during "nap time" for my toddler I am going to do a little more study and prayer time....then maybe after the boys go to bed at night I can do a little leisure reading....this is NOT going to be an easy adjustment to make and I know it...due to my selfish, fun-loving nature...but I know that I need to make God more of a priority in my life....THE priority of my life!! God doesn't want my life to be all work and no play....but He wants to be first in my life and if I keep Him first then He will provide time and allow for all the other fun stuff I often put before Him!! (Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you)! Now, I'll leave you with a prayer...Dear God, thank you for loving me...I pray that I would make and keep you as priority in my life....each and every day....I know that I am by no means perfect and I know that I will more than likely fail...but I pray that you would place a strong desire in my heart to diligently seek after you above all things...I love you Lord...Amen!!

Monday...Monday...Monday

Okay...so this week is...well...I'm not really sure what!! It's going to be AWESOME!! I could take this time to complain about things going wrong...like the dryer dying and the truck being in the shop....or the fact that sometimes I feel like I should be doing more to support the family and since I'm not I feel like a failure....but honestly....all these things don't really matter....and are mainly just a fleeting thought that crosses my mind once in a while!! I'm not going to let these things that don't really amount to much drag me down simply because that's what satan would like for them to do....and I'm not going to give him the satisfaction!! What I've decided to focus my time on are making memories with my boys...today I had a picnic with my 2 year old....we just took a blanket out in the front yard and had sandwiches and chips....I wouldn't have traded that for anything in the world! Then tonight he asked me if we could have another picnic in our yard!! He is so sweet and I thank God for the daily blessings in my life!! All I can say is don't get hung up on the minor inconveniences that gets thrown your way....if you keep your focus on Christ and watch for His blessing in your life the other stuff will just fade into the background!!

B-E-A-utiful day!!

Today is another beautiful day, the sun is shining and there's just a slight breeze blowing....I am SO excited that Spring is finally arriving!! This means a lot more time playing outside with my boys! They love going to the park.....and I love to take them! They are so much fun...I LOVE being a mommy!! Sure there are times when they try my patience and drive me crazy...but in the next moment they can give you a smile that melts your heart....and then they say those magic words "I love you mommy"....those are the moments you cherish forever!!

Okay....now that I've totally gone all mushy mommy on you....lets change gears!!

BOOKS!!! I so totally LOVE to read!! I may have mentioned this before....but....it's true! I just read a sneak peek at the first chapter of a book I am very anxiously awaiting!! Illusions by Aprilynne Pike....I am SUPER EXCITED about this book! It comes out the day before my birthday....talk about a great birthday gift!! So...yeah....I'm thinking about going back and re-reading Wings and Spells again before I get Illusions....these are some of my all time favorite books! *sigh*

I will be making a library run this week...I am needing more books to read! I really hope they've gotten some of the books back in so I can finish some of the series I've started! I am also feeling a book purchase coming on soon....but honestly....I've been trying to hold out until my birthday and maybe I'll either get some of the books I want or better yet get B&N gift cards....yeah...I've got it bad!! Well...enough about me...let's get back to enjoying this beautiful day!!

Busy...busy...busy

WOW...I've had lots going on...definitely staying busy!! Housework seems to never be done....I mean I had no idea we had that many clothes...or dishes!! lol....but I guess it makes sense....I mean we wear clothes everyday and with me and a little one home everyday we dirty up a lot of dishes!! I've also been filling out job applications and tweaking my resume...hopefully one of these apps will pay off!! I've also been working with selling Mary Kay! It always seems that I have enough orders to cover whatever expense needs to be paid...God always provides!! When I've had free time during the day....mainly during "nap" time....I do some reading! My most recent reads have been the Uglies series by Scott Westerfield. I have really enjoyed it! I am reading the 4th book now...Extras. Next on my reading list is Life As We Know It...by Susan Beth Pfeffer! Well...time to get lunch started and to unload and reload the dishwasher...and to fold another load of laundry....and vacuum...and dust...and.....well...you get the idea!!
