Ramblings of the Unimportant

What a weekend! One of my good friends had surgery last week ~ so we have been camped out at her house all weekend helping out. Christopher managed to sneak away to a friends house and Onna and I were able to squeeze in a trip to the video store to stock up on some goodies to watch. I have been running around like a chicken with it's head cut off for the past few weeks~ so being grounded to my friends house didn't bother me too badly. Tonight we resume regular activities. Today= kids school, work, Christopher's baseball game, Onna's softball game, shower & bed (by 10pm if we're lucky). oh yea, and I guess we need to fit meals in there somewhere. Man, if only kids required food & water every two-three days like my plants!

     We had such a great weekend! Both the kids had ball games on Saturday, so we spent all day at the ball park. Onna's team played a double-header. They lost one game and won the other~ Not bad considering it was their first loss of the season. Christopher's team celebrated their first win!! It was so amazing, and I personally believe it was because of Mother's Day (hee~hee). Later that evening Christopher and I had a mother-son date at the movies, and Onna and I started planting some flowers after church on Sunday. It was so much fun spending some good family time with them. We have been so busy lately that we haven't had the chance to enjoy each other.  Here are a few of my favorite pictures.

So much has happened in my life in the last six months that I can hardly keep up! GOD is so amazing. I know what you're thinking~and yes I realize this isn't a new revelation. I admit that I have been blind. I have allowed the world to control my life & I have allowed others to control my happiness. I am here to say that after 31 years of life I KNOW that I am special & GOD has a plan for me. I have finally opened my ears to the quiet whisper of the Lord...and WOW was it wonderful! Thank you so much Father for sacrificing your one and only so that I could have life. ~ I recently attended the Beth Moore life changing event (as I like to call it). It was on her new book, So Long Insecurity. I knew I was insecure, but oh my goodness! Sitting there...actually listening to the characteristics of a secure woman (directly from the bible) highlighted exactly how insecure I really was. ** I write today because I have been set free from my low self esteem & all my insecuritie...
