Today, as I layed on the couch beside Reese and listened to her 'talk' to me, I realized how much I enjoy her! She seriously never sits still, but today, we layed on the couch for about 15 minutes just talking. I know the Lord had His hand all in that to make me stop and enjoy the little things! So many times I get caught up in routine: eat, sleep, change diaper, eat, hope she stays asleep, change diaper, over and over again. When it's 3am I need to try to remember that this is not going to last forever, enjoy the time that I'm rocking her, no matter what time of the day or night it is.
Last night, Hollie, Kerri, and I attended a ladies bible study + fellowship and I was so encouraged from what I heard. Mrs. Rhonda (if you don't know her, she has 6 kids and such a wise lady!)is teaching a series on parenting and has so much to offer. The Lord really spoke through her and straight to me. Thank goodness Reese is little and I'm learning this now. There were moms, new and old, there to listen to what God placed on Mrs. Rhonda's heart and I know each one of them were blessed by what they heard. Hollie summed it up so well in her blog. We can't wait for the next one - already have it marked on my calendar.
Lately, the Lord has really been trying to speak to me and seriously, I've been ignoring Him. I knew exactly what He was trying to do, but I didn't want to admit that I needed to do it. I won't go into everything, but after hearing part of the lesson last night on listening to the Lord's voice and obeying, the Lord really broke me. Today, I obeyed Him and did exactly what I was supposed to do. I felt a complete weight lift off of my shoulders and it felt so good. I need to listen more and obey when the Lord is prompting my heart.
I'll leave you with a few of my favorite pictures from today:
