Taking The Time To Be Thankful ~

I am thankful that the God of the Angel Armies, the Majesty of heaven and earth watches over me and my family everyday. He takes a loving interest in me and give me a wonderful, meaningful opportunity to spend time with Him throughout the day. I love my Heavenly Father.

My husband who is our rock, an awesome father, my best-friend, a God chaser, an amazing musician, very attractive especially when he was riding his Harley or 65 Mustang! lol. I am so in love with him.

Hannah and Josh give me so much joy everyday. They are gifts from God that I never want to take for granted. They are so loving and so forgiving. I wish I had more patience to have another one.

The blessings of the basics. With the economy the way it is right now I am just praising the Lord for our jobs, our home, food and water, clothing.

Our neighborhood. I love so many of our neighbors.

Our parents. They have been so supportive of us and so loving to our children. There is just nothing like family

We live in a place where we aren't close to our parents, but we have met some wonderful members of our church who have loved our kids as if they were their own. I am truly grate-full to have friends like them who we trust with our children.

My favorite book that I cherish more than any other is my Bible. I want to know it inside and out. I want to know God so well that scripture will just flow out of me. If everything else is taken away, I know I will have Him right beside me. So I am thankful God has blessed us with His word.

We just had Thanksgiving dinner with my parents and it was wonderful. My son's birthday is also today and we will be celebrating it soon as well. When I stop to think about all the things I am thankful for I realize that I am abundantly blessed. I hope you will have the time and stop to cherish the wonderful blessings in your life.

Happy Thanksgiving~

Aren't They The Cutest Ever!!

My kids. So special.

Bein' A Mom ~

This is a song I wrote about my experience of being a mom. I dedicate these lyrics to all the wonderful moms out there that give so much of themselves for their children. We feel happiness, joy, sadness, anger, worry, anxiety, fear, exhaustion, depression, excitement, adventure and more each and every day with our kids. You are not alone in this. Let's stick together Moms!

Bein' A Mom
c2008 word and music by Lara Marriott
(bluezy feel)

Bein' a mom
takes a way my confidence
just like my kids I know
I struggle with some tantrums
Each day presents a new set
of frustrations
cuz' when I look around I see
that my chores are neverending
am I cut out to be.......

Bein' a mom
I'm constantly on night alert
If anyone needs me I'm there
to meet all they want
my sleep has become replaced
by a cup of caffeine
and when they finally get to sleep
there is nothing more for me to give
am I cut out to be a mom?

Chorus
I get angry!
I get scared!
I get this overwhelming feelin'
in my head!
God give me the strength
to love them
These days will pass by quickly
You have placed these kids right with me
I know I need You, I need Your help!!

Bein' a mom
there is a privilege
that's only saved for me
at six in the morning
I get to cuddle closely to them
and it fills me up
I am the first they ask for
when they are scared or they are hurt
a million times they will
forgive me and forget, yet, het, het ____

Bein' a mom, Yeah, yeah
Bein' a mom, A nah, nah
Bein' a mom, Ohohoh
Bein' a mom, Hmmm
Hmmm__________I'm thankful
