the Family Project

wow this review is coming WAY WAY WAY after the fact. I have read books in the past year but somehow my Tyndale books kept getting lost in the mess known as life.
*** received this book from Tyndale for free for the purpose of reviewing it and the thoughts expressed are mine :) ***

This book is one that when I requested it I didn't think it would pertain to me as much as it would be a great teaching tool ( since many of my readers know I work along side my husband in his role of student pastor). Which I think in retrospect my attitude probably adjudicated how I would feel at the end too- and hope to re-read it soon in respect to my life and relationships.

This book/ curriculum is built to help you see who you are in Gods eyes and your direct purpose in the family unit you have. I have struggled as my husband and I have been married longer to see us as a valid family unit with the all too often comments of " you will understand when you start a family". So I am going to take my five minutes of fame, my blog to stand on a soap box for other "families" like mine. When two become one on the wedding day they join together two families to become one family, so from day one you and your husband are family :) (this again is where I will remind you that I myself am in need of a review of this book on my own life).

I would highly recommend this book for any age of Sunday school class/ bible study group because I think it helps each person see the reminder of their importance in a family role as well as the boundaries they must set and adhere in your role.

till the next review

Life: Not The Mama

Image
I watched Dinosaurs as a kid, and actually do not remember much except I do remember the baby yelling, "Not the mama", which is about what I echo each time I am out and about with the children that I have nannied in my life. I am not a mama, yet but I do care for the children I teach, coach and care for as if they were my own. So every time I say no I am not the mama, I am saying- but their mamas trust me to infinity and beyond with their kids and I do not ever take that lightly. I was chatting with a fellow nanny today and we decided we will make a National Nanny Day 😂

I struggle with mothers day because it is rooted into me deep that I want to be a mama. I want to be a foster mama and be able to stand in the gap as other mamas are working on things. I want to be an adoptive mama and take care of sweet babies ( what ever their age may be) who do not have family. I want to be a secondary mama to any children who are struggling.

With this said, I also had some amazing moms …

Life: The Last Decade

Image
I am sitting in front of my computer and trying to process through what I have to say about the past decade. I have had a tearful start to the mornings of this past week as I have tried to do the same. 2017-2018 I have had a struggle with the coming of October 11. The best way to track a decade is start at the beginning.

2008 age 20
     I was a sophomore in college at Oklahoma Baptist University. My roommate and some of our suitemates blindfolded me ( which lead to me falling asleep) enroute to a place I had talked about so highly from when I was touring colleges- POPS 66 Soda Ranch! The thing is that these girls had never been there and it took WAYY longer than it should have to get there but it was soo much fun introducing them to POPS. That weekend I headed to San Antonio with my fiance to get our engagement photos. 

     I got married during my 20th year to the love of my life. We planned our entire wedding in 6 days after I caught the bouquet at his cousins wedding on January 3. …

Life: Word of 2018

Image
I don’t lean well. I don't sit well. I don't slow well.  I am a power through girl- things are going to get done, no matter what. 
BUT... this year (2018) has to look a little different.
2018 will bring 32 years for hubs (Jan 7)9 years of marriage (Jan 9)30 years of age ( Oct 11)OH YEAH! and a baby no later than January 15th. 
While it was hard to swallow not having a natural birth, we have a very breech baby and will be having a c-section on Jan 15th at the latest- you know because babies sometimes don't like being told when their birthdays will be and decide to bust down the water wall. So we shall see when BABY H will join our rankings within the next two weeks. 
BECAUSE of all of this...
I have considered a few different words to represent my goal in 2018. The first word that came to mind was slow- again if you know me, or have read any of my blogs = I don' t slow well, I am a get up and go girl. I think that there will have to be large doses of slow, especially in t…
