Week 23:

This blessing took place the week of March 2nd -8th
 

The blessing I had prepared to do this week never actually happened. I was hoping and praying things would work out the way I planned, but unfortunately they didn't. Now I'm sitting here replaying the week to see if I blessed anyone along the way. I'm desperately hoping I did, I haven't missed a week yet…
 

Then it hits me I did do acts of kindness throughout the week. Nothing big just simple gestures, little things; but in life isn't it the little things that matter most?


I try really hard now to make sure I keep our house in order. This is important to my husband and our little family, we likes things a certain way.  My husband  especially takes pride in the things he owns and he wants them to be taken care of, a trait I hope Eli will grow up to have as well. I try harder to make sure the bed is made every morning, the dishes are washed and put away, and Eli's toys get put up every night. I realize for some, this seems like I should do these things anyway because I'm a woman, and that's my job. HA! Being a working mom these simple things have become much harder to do. Plus it's not really in my nature to be super neat. I'm not a dirty person, but I must admit I am a messy one. I would rather go to bed than pick up toys or wash dishes. In the mornings, I barely have enough time to get ready and get to work on time, let alone stop to make the bed. However, I try to make time for these little things, because they are important to my husband, and if they are important to him then they need to be important to me.
 

I realize my husband isn't a stranger and that these simple acts aren't big gestures, but I do think these little blessings are appreciated. God blessed me with a wonderful husband. He provides for our family not only financially, but spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. He's always willing to sacrifice his time to spend time as a family. Even after a long day at work he still rushes home to see and spend time with me and Eli. Oscar is a wonderful father to Eli; he takes time to invest in our son and in his future. If these little blessings mean less stress for my husband, then they are worth every minute.
 

Oscar thank you for being such a good man to me and to Eli, we are blessed to have you as the head of our household. I love you forever & always.

Week 8:

This week my blog is all about something that is very near and dear to my heart. For those of you who don't know I have a younger cousin and younger brother who both have autism. My cousin Aaron lives in Odessa, Texas, and has recently graduated High School. For most graduates this is a very exciting time, they start college, move away from home, and get an apartment. However, for Aaron things are much different. Aaron can't go to college, or live on his own, because of the autism Aaron needs to stay home with his family. He needs to have someone watch over him and help him with day to day living. Without school there isn’t anywhere Aaron can go during the day, because of this my aunt retired and stays home with Aaron.   For many years my aunt and uncle have prayed God would provide some type of resource, a place where young adults like Aaron could go to continue learning new things. God always finds a way to meet our needs.   This week my blessing is simple I ...

Week 33:

This blessing took place the week of May 11 th – 17 th . I was beyond blessed this week. I was given an opportunity to go home for few days. I flew out on Thursday, May 15 th . Anytime I fly home I have a layover in Dallas. This usually allows for me to get breakfast or lunch. This being a typical layover I stopped to get some breakfast at McDonalds. Instead of getting my usual, just a breakfast burrito and a drink I felt the need to get the meal. It includes 2 burritos, a hash brown, and a drink. After getting my meal and arriving at my gate. The girl sitting next to me asked where she could find McDonalds. I told her she would need to take the skylink to get there, but she probably wouldn't have time to go and come back before boarding.   I told her I had an extra burrito that she could have if she wanted it. She asked if I was serious, I smiled and said, "Yes, I seriously have an extra burrito and you can have it". I went on to tell her I never get the meal b...

Week 14:

I have a bad habit of being hard on myself. I constantly make jokes about not being good enough. It wasn't until recently when a good friend of mine told me I don't give myself enough credit. She's absolutely right, and I guarantee I'm not alone in this. I know some of you reading this do the same thing. You belittle yourself, or you try and justify you quarks. For example you might make a similar comment, "I'm socially awkward, but the people who love me look past this…" Or "I'm not really sure why people read my blog, I'm not a writer." I could list example after example of not measuring up to the "world's standards", but you know what I've learned? Those standards don't matter; they really don't, because my worth comes from a higher authority. It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualifications come from God. – 2 Corinthians 3:5 Here's the deal when God looks ...
