Mommy vs Employee

Days I'm reminded that only God's strength allow the job(s) to get done.  Well let us began with my morning.....I rise and began to follow the normal routine of preparing clothes, toothpaste on toothbrush and so forth.  Twins rise and I discover that one of them has a horrible looking rash all over is tummy and chest, upon further search it is also on his back.  Yes, I'm known to panic so I yell for Samah and his calm demeanor seemed to help me a little.  Of course the entire time I'm thinking I don't have anyone to keep him, I have a meeting today and a meeting to prepare for.  What is a MOMMY to do......stay home with her baby.  What is an EMPLOYEE to do.......go to work and preform the necessary tasks.  Jaire didn't seem bothered so I gave him benadryl and took him to daycare.  I explained to his teacher to phone me if he seemed the least bit bothered.  Of course I'm at work but really worried about my baby boy so I texted his teacher periodically to check on him. 

Well......he made it until 3:30pm when I received the call that he won't calm down and seems to have a fever.  Okay.....MOMMY mode, it's time to retrieve my baby.  Of course the pediatrician's walk in hours end at 4:00pm so I head to Urgent Care.  Good news.......he's okay it will just take some time for him to be back to himself.  Phew!!

Now, home to cook dinner and finish the tasks I was unable to complete at work.  EMPLOYEE in full effect and it is complete.  I'm ready for my next meeting tomorrow.  YES!!

"Maya" is what I hear.  Jamir is up and has puked all over himself and his bed.  He requires another bath that dad is giving him but mommy has puke clean-up duty.  MOMMY mode is back.

1:30 am and I hear my laundry still going yet everyone else is resting well.  I love my hats they each have their own fulfillment but some days I'm reminded that I only have one head so I must allow God's strength to perform while I'm merely a vessel.  Good Night All!!

The Mess of Forgiveness should be The Peace of Forgave

As I sit here and think on one of the hardest aspects of being human I stand in aww of the amazing God that we serve.   Imagine an existence that God deemed a lie could never be forgiven or a fallen child of the kingdom will never have the ability to redeem our hearts and return?   Are you thinking WOW, just as I did as this thought surfaced in my mind?   Well in this I had a new respect for the word forgiveness and the clarity of it being an action word just as love is.   Bet you never thought of that, huh??   Lol Sometime ago I dedicated myself to study the act of forgiveness and create a heart after God’s own heart.   I imagined myself in a place of transition: walking through an opened door in an ALL white garment with one leg that hadn’t stepped in yet with black pants and shoe on (that one leg).   I realized this spoke literally to the place I was in my life; wanting so badly to continue to live for God and grow in my spiritual walk y...

Stand without Wavering

As I sit at the computer and ponder on the upcoming transitions my life will be taking and attempting to mentally plan what I can; I immediately got a headache thinking of all I wish I could have done or what others reminded me I should have done.   In the mist of this planning I turned my speaker up on my desktop and what’s playing on Pandora, William Murphy’s Its Working.    See sometimes it is easy to know the word and even quote it but is it in your spirit?   I have been struggling with a variety of things lately causing me a great deal of stress and even minor health setbacks but today I am reminded that all things will work out for those that love the Lord and are called according to his purpose, I’m standing on his word.   In that I feel the tug at my spirit the words, “standing on his word”.   When we stand it means that we are not moving or wavering.   There is a great deal of faith required in order for us to stand without wav...

Growth is the Best Option

Have you ever experienced moments that prove your growth and it still startles you?   I have been having such moments rather often lately and I can only giggle at myself.   I have prayed often that God will elevate my maturity in him as well as in the world.   On many occasions we are hurt, experience conflict or even hurt others because of our lack of maturity spiritually as well as emotionally.   I remember reaching a period in my personal life a couple years ago that I made a choice to seek God, praying that my heart will be renewed and my mind will be more understanding in God.   That I would not have such emotional unrealistic responses to things that I did not like or made me uncomfortable especially with regards to my personal relationships.   I asked to be emotionally intimate with my husband so that we may communicate on a different level to help us both grow both together as a couple, as parents and as individuals.   For me to also be emoti...
