Great Weekend;)

This weekend was amazing! But before I talk about that let me tell you that the two weeks before it were horrible. This field time has been a bit different; R wasn't able to take his phone, so no communication for those 2 weeks, well technically 10 days. But that was hard, not even when he was deployed did we go that long without talking. Thankfully he got out early on Friday, and we had the weekend to enjoy. Friday was family time at the house and Cheddar’s, so yummy!!!

Saturday, we got invited to a friend’s house to watch the Mayweather vs. Cotto fight :) I usually talk trash about Mayweather, but I think he actually fought the fight this time. We were going for Cotto, but were still glad it was a good fight.

 Sunday we skipped out on Church, but still had a great family time. We got a sitter for Lil Man, and took Monkey to the moves and saw, The Avengers!!! What a great movie, so many awesome parts, but I won't spoiled it for yall. But I totally recommend it. The Hulk was hilarious. Best part for me was that it was a good family film, aside from the action, there was not much language or sexual context. So worth the money we paid, and we are frugal. We usually wait till dollar movie theater, redbox, or netflix to watch movies:)

But as much I as I wasn't looking forward to it, Monday came:( And R had to head back out, this time it’s going to be for a bit longer, but I’m thankful that I communicated my thoughts and feelings to him. He is so sweet; he even left me a msg on my phone. I think that I’ve heard it 5 times and its only Wednesday. LOL

      I feel so blessed with God's amazing blessings, a wonderful husband, and two great kids. Lately I just sit and count my blessings. House, food, clothes, car, family, friends, and I could keep going. Praise the Lord for all that He does in my life. I pray that if you haven't accepted Him into your life, you take a step to get close to Him. Best decision I’ve ever made. :)

1 I waited patiently for the Lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry. 2 He drew me up from the pit of destruction,  out of the miry bog,  and set my feet upon a rock,  making my steps secure.
3 He put a new song in my mouth,  a song of praise to our God.  Many will see and fear,  and put their trust in the Lord.  Psalm 40:1–3   

Sanctus Real - Lead Me

I really like this video, it speaks to me, and I feel so blessed that each day my husband becomes more and more of a godly man, leading us in God's Word. :)

What's in your eye?

The other day I posted this scripture at the end of one of my posts,"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" Matthew 7:3(NIV) It made me think, how often do I judge people on there actions, words, attitude, lives...ect? But do I ever truly look at my actions, words, attitude, life...ect? How are the things I do and say glorify God? Are they glorifying Him?  I know I'm not perfect, I know we live in a fallen world, and because of that, sin will always be there to tempt me. But what am I doing to guard my heart from it? It's always so easy to point out my hubby's flaws, especially when we're arguing. But how does that help the situation? Even if 95% of the fault lands on him, what about that 5% that lands on me. And trust me on most occasions the fault is mostly on my side, but I don't always want to admit it, LOL. Anyways, I'm still responsible only for my actions. For me this is a hard concept because I hate admitting when I'm wrong. I mean come on, who really ever likes to admit there flaws or admit when they are wrong? I know I don't. But this verse is telling me, that instead of worrying about someone elses faults, I need to look inward at myself. I guess what I'm trying to share is let's look at how we can work on our selves, and not on how we can change others. I can only change one person in this world, ME. And even then, I can't do it on my own, I need the Holy Spirit in me to help me change. This is something that won't come naturally to me, it's something that I will have to work on, on a daily basis. But I know it is something that will Glorify my Lord. And that there is something worth working on:) I challenge you that next time you see that speck of dust in someones eye, you first look at yourself before pointing it out to them.
