Thank You God for Laundry, Cleaning and Cooking!

My life right now consists of a whole lot of cooking, cleaning, feeding, changing diapers, doing laundry, working from my home etc etc. Tasks that most people would consider to be stuff that we do just because we have to and not neccesarily because we want to...  I could look at everything from that point of view (and believe me, sometimes I do!!!) and feel overwhelmed, swamped and bored, but I could also do what a good friend told me years ago when I was whining about some dull task; see the positive in everything! So, I'm trying to do just that and thank God that I get to do all these things;

Thank you God that I get to go grocery shopping - means that I have money to shop with!

Thank you God that I get to do laundry - means that I have a family!

Thank you God that I get to clean my house - means I actually have a home!

Thank you God that I can work from home - means I have a job!

Thank you God for diapers that need to be changed, little handprints on windows and feedings that need to be done - means you have given me the opportunity to stay home with my two little ones!

And seriously - who would not be thankful to see this little happy face everyday???

He Will Never Leave!

Today as I was driving from one errend to another this song started playing on the radio and I found myself bawling in the car... You know, sometimes life can be a little hard and challenging, but as I sat there singing this song, I was reminded what the Lord has said. He never promised that everything would be easy or served on a silver platter, some circumstances are hard. BUT He DID promise that whatever life throws at us, and whatever pain we go through, He will always be there to carry us through, and He will never leave!



I mean, my daughter Josefina has diabetes, a disease that she will have all her life if not a miracle occurs. But even though we have to monitor her blood sugar levels all the time, wake up in the middle of the night to see that she's all right doesn't mean that I have stopped believing in miracles! And even though relatives pass away in illnessess doesn't mean that God has stopped performing the impossible. My God is a miracle worker! He heals, delivers, raises up and restores what is broken! I will never back down from beleiving! I will never stop praying for my daughter's miracle - it's coming! My God is the Creator God and He can do anything! And He will never leave you or forsake you!

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
Phil 4:4
