"Becoming more than just a bible study girl".
And....I LOVE ALL OF THEM!! Seriously, I love them. I have learned (not always practiced) some really good stuff from all of them. A little tid bit that I took from Becoming the woman of his dreams, was on respecting your husband..."Respect is wrapped up in a beautiful paper of kind and gentle words and tied with the enormous ribbons of a loving spirit." It is one of the most amazing gifts a wife can give. And, as I read on, I read just one little sentence...and it stung me. In a good way. Not always do I get it, but, I got it after reading this..."Just as men are called to be the head of the home, the wife is called to be the heart of the home. When we are acting as the head, it is hard to be the heart. Advice that will be attached to my heart forever. The only thing is that I stopped reading these awesome books when I started to feel like crap. I honestly can see the difference in myself when I am not in some sort of study on God's Word. My attitude changes in a pretty dramatic way, and I get short with the people I love the most. Especially with my husband. He is the last person I want to be fighting and arguing with. Which regardless of if I am in a "study" or not I should have a better attitude...but, let's be real...God gifted us women (some of us a little more) with PMS. And it seems that I tend to vere off my readings when it close to that dreaded "time of the month". So, my goal these next few months is to be on the lookout for the days when I don't want to do any reading and I have a poor attitude, and I am going to go out of my way...(well, this is a goal...no one's perfect...) to be in God's Word, to find something everyday to Praise my beautiful God for. Like today...for instance...(just for fun, not because I am pmsing...lol) I have and amazing husband and daughter.

I really do not know how I lived life without either of them before they came into my life. Seriously, yesterday, I was so spent, I was so tired from being sick and tired, I was tired of being around kids all day...and I really missed spending time with just me and my daughter....so we went SHOPPING!! And, I cannot tell you how much that filled my "quality time bank" with my little stinkyface. Not to mention Momma started getting stuff ready for her very first EASTER basket! Oh, I know she is only 8 months, but, it was so much fun...I got her the cutest little flower headband, no, really she looks like a flower. Some new yummy treats! Some organic baby food...well, and the CUTEST very first easter basket ever. Not to mention, she was a blast in the store. Sitting up like a big girl.
Seriously, isn't she really the cutest baby ever! Who couldn't love that face...and I am not just saying this because she is my baby...she really is adorable. Alright, now that it is almost 7am, I should probably start cleaning...stay tuned for my next blog on renovating furniture....yes. I don't know if that is really a word, but, that will be my new project...since we are moving, into a super cute place I am wanting to do some "shappy cheek" on the apartment and the sweet pile of "craps" that I have found on craigslist...well, they will become sweet piles of jewels when I am done...or I probably will be considered a hoarder...oh, gosh...until next time...(like in another three weeks when I get a day off.....)
