No Morning Like an Aliyy Morning…….


Just imagine your hunny waking you in a panic as the entire house had overslept about 45 minutes.  Don’t think 45 minutes is much……oh you have never experienced a morning with the Aliyy’s.  Oh goodness; Jamir doesn’t have any clean underwear.  I went into a true panic at this point.  Of course you can’t wash any when you are already late so what’s the next best thing?  Put him on a pair of his twin’s undies that’s one size smaller than his.  Get shirts ironed and by chance or an act of God open the dryer to discover this child has two pair in the dryer.  Thank you God….I knew you loved me.  So the girls are dressed grabbed a breakfast snack and daddy got them out and headed to school.  Now leaving me solo with two year old twins and I’m in need of a shower.  What exactly does it mean when you say; sit right here boys and watch TV while mommy takes a quick shower.   It means the following:

1.      Take the shoe laces out of your shoes
2.      Pull every noisy toy you are able to out of the toy box in the room and put them on the floor in the main living area
3.      Raid the snack cabinet because surely our breakfast wasn’t enough
4.      Attempt to finish big sister’s school project to be finished this afternoon because of course she and mommy aren’t able to do it alone
5.      Wrestle and may the sleepiest little guy cry first

So out the shower mommy has to clean up the living area because I can’t dare leave the house looking like I’ve been robbed.  Now to get my hair curled and complete the 15 minute process of getting the twins to potty, shoes on and jackets on.  Re-lace the shoes now while twins finishing up on the potty only for Jamir to emerge completely naked.  Oh no….now I have to redress a baby boy.  The moment a mommy has to walk away to take a deep breath to avoid over-reacting.  Go outside to warm up the van!!  Lol

Out the door we go and now our 45 minutes of too much sleep has set us an hour and a half behind schedule.  Tsss….Tsss….Tsss  But we enjoyed our drive as we always do; having my special moment with my baby boys looking for every tractor, motorcycle, semi-truck, dump truck and ambulance that you may past on the road.  I love these moments even when I’m super late and I’m proud of myself for not over-reacting this morning.  Lesson for the day: If I would have yelled or called my hubby crying (my normal reactions) it would not have changed my situation nor slowed down the clock so I maintained my pressure and basked in the moment.  I’m seeing my parental and emotional growth….it feels so good!!

Until next time.

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...
