Not Guilt...Appreciation

I was supposed to be going to bed an hour and a half ago. I started reading other blogs of prayer requests on MckMama's blog. I read, cried, prayed, read, cried, prayed, and cried some more. I read about families losing homes and jobs, mommies and daddies losing babies, and loved ones dealing with illness. When I started reading the blogs, I felt kind of guilty because I have a home, a job, two healthy babies, and healthy family.

I realize that I am not immune to any painful event, and that quite honestly, one is due to come my way any time now. Though I will never meet some of these people who share their blogs with me, I feel called by my Lord to pray for these people.

I will pray for these people and take the time to tell God "thank you" for all of my blessings.
I will take the time to hold my babies a little tighter and a little longer than I did yesterday. I will enjoy my early morning feedings with Logann. I will spend time with my husband laughing and enjoying him, because I can. I will go to work and go about my day happy, and without anxiety...praying that someone else can do the same one day. I will appreciate what my Lord has given me to enjoy today. I will not waste today because of "bad moods" and "stress." I AM BLESSED! I will appreciate what I have!

16 Days

I have 16 days until I return to work. I have to admit, I am a little stressed. I am not quite sure how I am going to get up in the middle of the night with the baby, get up in the morning and get 2 children ready, get myself ready, get the children where they need to be, and get to work on time. The good news is this...

I go back for one week (count it...5days), then I have Spring Break for a week! Then I come back for 5 more weeks and then I am out for the summer! By the time I have it all figured out, I will be out of school. I think I can handle it though! I am really trying not to think about it too much. The guilt kills me.

I have been blessed to be able to stay home with my baby for 3 months. I am so blessed to be a mommy!
