Monday Musings~Ode to My Husband

"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart."
Psalm 37:4



Above is a picture of the flowers Scott brought home to me Friday night. He and Jack went to the store to get stuff to make burgers and Jackson excitedly brought these to me when they got home. This small gesture reminded me of what a great man I married. I remember back in the day when we were broken up and I had to "let go" of Scott. I didn't want to but knew I had to. Then, I came across this verse. I really didn't realize at the time that the desire of my heart was to be with Scott forever but the Lord did. I went about my life "delighting myself in the Lord" all the while letting go of Scott. Seven months later God brought us back together (it's a long but wonderful story to be told at a later time).

I bring that story up because the flowers reminded me that God blessed me with the desire of my heart: Scott. The most wonderful thing is that he is still what I desire. He is the love of my life and my heart longs for him. He is an incredible man who I am blessed to love and grow old with. I admire him and am proud to be his wife and the mother of his son. He never stops encouraging me even when I have a mental breakdown because I can't understand the research for my master's project. He will sit with me calmly explaining it to me until I understand. He challenges me to be a kinder person who worries less and enjoys each moment more (I'm still working on this one). He respects me and desires to fill my life, our life, with joy and happiness. He teaches our son everything from baseball to letter sounds and enjoys every second. He even teaches our son to love and respect women, especially his mommy. These are just a few of the MANY things I adore about my husband. Mostly, it is in the little things, like receiving flowers or Scott giving Jack a bath so I can have a break, that I see his love most!

So, I thank You, Lord, for giving me the desire of my heart. May I love, cherish, and appreciate every single moment I have with my good and perfect gift.

I love you through eternity, Scott!

Yeah, I love him too. I want a man just like him. Someone to explain my Masters research to me, someone to deal with my breakdowns, someone to not allow me to lose myself in him.
Where oh where is MY Scott???

Holy Holy

I can't stop singing, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty." Scott and I went to the "big" ultrasound today where we tested to see if our baby had Down's, one of the Trisomy disorders, or any neural tube defects. I must admit the palms were a little sweaty and the heart was racing a bit. As surreal as this pregnancy is, I don't want anything to be wrong with this precious life inside of me. Well, holy is right. The Lord is not just good; He is awesome! Our little baby instantly began moving and grooving for us showing off fingers and toes and a great heart beat! Even though I am on my third, watching the miracle of life on that screen NEVER gets old! It truly blows my mind every time I get to see our precious angels developing inside of me! The scan came out wonderfully. We got all positives on all the scans the doctor (who was absolutely INCREDIBLE) could do. Now we just wait for some blood work to confirm that everything is okay with our little boy. ...

A Welcome Blessing in a Surprise

"For you created me in my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm 139:13-14 A few weeks ago Scott and I got the surprise of our lives! I was home with the kids. Jack was napping while Grady and I were snuggling while I was feeding him his bottle. I had a strange feeling that something was up. I decided to take a pregnancy test not thinking the answer would be anything but negative. As the hour glass blinked on the screen, I continued to play with my baby. Then, the words appeared..."pregnant." What? No way! I think I had to look at the test a million times before I really believed what I was reading. How was this possible? I was holding my 4 month old for goodness sakes! I laughed out loud right then and there and praised God for His humor and His blessing. Scott didn't get home until late that night. I wrote, "Oops! We did it agai...

Tuesday Toddler Tales~A Mother's Worst Nightmare

I lost Jack. Don't worry, he has been found but for the longest I'd say 8 minutes of my life he was gone. I was at the mall with two girlfriends and their kiddos. We were all having lunch at the food court when I stepped away to get some ketchup. Jack stayed behind with his friends. I was gone for maybe a minute and a half or so. When I came back he was gone. His chair was pushed in and empty. I began to panic. One friend stayed behind with all the other kids while my other friend and I darted off in oposite directions. Others began to notice our panic and jumped in the search with us. I saw nothing in my direction, not even shoppers. I turned around and started the other way. I got to the carousel where I thought he'd be and he wasn't. At this point it took everything in my power not to faint. I felt like everything around me was spinning. I was so overwhelmed with where to look. I just kept running, frantically asking people if they saw a little blond-haired boy with ...
