Where did the time go?

So i was watching Tanner bowl today and I was overcome with so many emotions.  I remember holding him for the first time, hearing him coo for the first time, first words, first steps...so many first.  Tanner and I have had a special bond from the first hug. And as I sat there looking at my true love I couldn't help but wonder if we would always be this close.  While I was pondering Tanner came up ... hugged me and said "i love you mommy." In that moment i finally understood what live for the moment and remember the little things means.  My Nanny used to tell me that all the time.  Now i totally get it. Don't worry about tomorrow it will take care if itself without any help from me or you!!  :)

Sometimes enough is enough

I have so many friends going through so many horrible things!! I have wives being abandoned left and right by those who shall not be named... there are babies sick and in hospitals ... friends losing their homes..
Friends in spiritual crisis...

I don't even know how to begin to pray. I feel sad and down myself. I am missing my family. I am feeling lost and adrift in a sea of the unknown ...

But ... I know Who holds tomorrow and I know He knows me. HE knows my heart so its okay that I don't know what to pray he knows my heart!

He knows my name... he sees each tear that falls and he hears me when I call!!

"Lately I have been winning battles left and right... but they don't see me when I'm wounded in the fight... and they don't know then I go running home when I fall down... they don't know who picks me up when no one is around... I close my eyes and cry for just awhile I know.. because deep inside this armour... this Warrior is a child."

After careful consideration

I have thought about this off and on all day. And after careful consideration I have decided... I like the movie Sharknado more than the movie Overboard with Goldie Hawn.   For those of you who know me you know what a big decision this was for me.

Walls, pain and lies!

Well girls lets talk it over. Do you have walls around your heart. If you have said or done the following you probably do:

1) You push people away before they can do the same to you.

2) You have said, "I will never be loved."

3) "I don't deserve him anyway."

Let's start with those 3. Even if you have been hurt you cant judge everyone else by another persons actions.
A) its not fair to them
B) it limits you
C) it sets you up for failure

Now is Momma saying don't protect your heart? No you have to go into all situations with eyes wide open. But also go in with a Heart Wide Open.

Now you may feel that you have never been loved. Well that is not true! God loves you and if you let others in you will be loved. 

Now, when I say love I am not talking about romantic love. You may have not met Mr. Right just yet to have had that experience but it doesn't mean you won't! You have to also realize "movie romance" and "real life romance" are 2 separate entities!

Now that final statement ... I don't deserve him anyway ... honey what you don't realize is you are a child of the King! You are a princess and yes you deserve to be treated like one.

One of my favorite sayings and very applicable to this conversation is, "A woman's heart should be so lost in God that a man has to seek Him to find her!"

So.. we can talk more later but for now think on what Momma is saying ... have a good day!  Love Y'all!!

Jack and the Monkey grass

When Last I left you my mom had found me! We rode home together and I sat in her lap and slept the whole way. We made a stop at the big tall mans moms house.

Well there was this crazy grass... it look like it was going to be so much fun to play in!! So I ran into it... apparently mommy didn't like for me to run from her... and I was so little I didn't know my name was Jack yet... but then the worst happened... I got lost in the monkey grass!

I couldn't find my way out... so I started whining and crying for my mom!! And that was when she save me! She pick me up and snuggled me up and carried me into the house.

At this point I thought I was an only puppy... but I was about to learn the truth... until next time be kind to your animals ...this is Jack the dog signing off!

Jack and Tracee~ Puppy Love!

Hi. My name is Jack.  It hasn't always been Jack.  It was Spot for the 1st 6 weeks of my life because I only had one spot. I know, my breeders where really original, huh?? HA!  I am a Dalmatian you see. This is the first memory of my mom one that I will always remember.

I was in a box with my sister Lucy. Lucy is who they were there to see. She was a beautiful girl with blue eyes.  But then I saw her, I knew, She was my mom.  The big tall man called her Tracee.  I started hopping up and down in the box.  She laughed at me and handed my sister to the big tall man and said, "Awe, he is a little Jack in the box!!" She picked me up and I just knew I did not want her to put me down so I kissed her nose.

She hugged me and she never put me down.  We were life long friends for 14 years... but I am getting ahead of the story.  I will tell you more later.  For now I have to go check on my charges and make sure all is well.

Here we go

Girls.  . A little something i have learned ... if you have to call the guy and pursue the guy and when you do talk to him its one or two word answers ....

HE IS JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU! !!

Let it go!! If heand only wants to be alone and kiss... if he doesnt introduce you to friends after a couple months....

HE IS JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU! !!

Just a note from your friendly blogmomma...
