What I love about Halloween

I love dressing up my little man.

He always wants to be a Hero.

and he lets me make his costume.

He also has some really fun friends.

Who have really cute little sisters! ( Who don't like Halloween )

and he's buddies with Rocky.

Happy Halloween!

Change

I have a natural tendency to avoid change. At least any change that affects my emotional life. I don't mind changing up a room or my outfit. But if you ask me to step outside of my box ...WHOA!.... not gonna happen. At least not by choice.

Well you know Gods kinda funny about things you don't like to do. HE MAKES YOU DO IT ANYWAY.

When my husband and I first got married I was the girl that had a day planner for her day planner.

I now go day by day and change my plans half way through.

I like having my husband home every night for supper.

His new position now requires him to work till 9pm.

I needed to work full time to feel like I was contributing to the family.

I'm now a stay at home mommy. ( which I love )

This newest change with my husbands job is going to take lots of prayer and patience. We are taking each day hour by hour to try and see what works best for us. My children do not like having their daddy away at night but they are handling it well. I think in some ways they may be taking it better than I am.

I am grateful for my life, family, home and my husband.

Each day will bring me a new adventure and I plan on meeting it with a smile.

I AM.

This was the title of our youth group lesson tonight. We covered all the "I AM's" in the bible and then we discussed our own "I AM's".

I AM a

mother

wife

sister

daughter

boo boo kisser

cook

helpmate

homemaker

friend

babysitter

teacher

My list could go on and on.

We discussed different "I AM" statements that we make everyday. It never fails to amaze me that answers you will get from a group of teenagers. We need to remember that Jesus always said his "I AM's" with the complete knowledge that he was God's son. But do we always have the complete knowledge to hold up our "I AM" statements? That is my agenda this week to listen for the "I AM's" from God.
