Remembering Darian ~

I have learned so much from this little six year old boy. The strength and determination he had were simply amazing. The way I see life has changed because of him. I am more thankful for each day than I was. I look at my children differently with a more understanding compassionate heart. When I need strength I think about Darian and the strength that he had. When I need more faith I think about his mother Abby and how her faith impacted so many and brought some to Jesus. I realized because of Darian and his family's example that I need to give of myself whole heartedly to others, loving them like Jesus loves. There example has blessed me so much. I know that little boy will be so missed. Darian's family, friends and church family surrounded him with tons of love. I know many hearts are sad today.

Darian you are going to be very missed. All that to say, my heart rejoices knowing you are completely happy with God right now. No more pain, no more sadness. You had to go through so much this past year. You now get to rest. Even though I am sad, I also at the same time am happy you can be yourself again.

His celebration of life is today. I wish I could be there to show how much he ministered to me. And how much I love his family.

I Changed My Mind ~

Okay I have decided to come back and stick with this blog as well as the other one I have. Why? Because I want to talk about mommy things. Like kids are disgusting! My new best friends are clorox disinfecting wipes. Ever since Josh started potty training my eyes have been opened to transferring potty from the small potty to the big one, washing hands, how boys go to the bathroom, what boys are facinated with (oh brother). If I didn't have my wipes I would shut down and pretend like nothing was wrong in the bathroom. Until my husband comes home and finds our house is full of yucky germs. Ah______________

Now can you see why I don't want to blog about this stuff on my website. lol! If no one reads this anymore that will be fine. I just have to vent about life here. If anything encourages others than that's a bonus. = )

Now on to laundry, disinfecting, dishes, organizing, fixing, monitoring (kids), and the list continues on.
