My Blessings

So I am here alone today with my Memphy. Ok so not alone..but without Josh and Bodhi around it is quite dull around here!!!
I am just in awe of my little man. He is now 9 months old and full of spunk! He is crawling and standing up and saying all sorts of words! Ma ma was his first!! :)
We have just been cuddling and hanging out and I have just been praising God that he has blessed me with such a beautiful gift....and Three times!!! I have Two awesome boys ...Bodhi and Memphis.....and an incredible husband....who in all reality would move mountains for me if he could.
I am working on opening my own salon above the garage in my back yard soooo I can be home with my boys and still work when Josh gets home. Its such a big project...MONTHS and months of work. Josh has done nothing but support me through it...and even dug a four foot deep ditch all the way around our house by hand! This project has torn us apart on nights and has brought us closer on others. I don't know alot of guys who would work ten hour days to come home and help their wives build something they are passionate about. I know Josh could care less about hair and makeup...but he knows I live for it......I just love him so much.

I guess I am feeling quite blessed today. Which is an overall incredible feeling. Wishing I would walk around everyday feeling this way...but sometimes life clouds that up doesn't it?

Ok...sooo Memphis found me in the puter room..crawled all the way over here...smiled and then full over and bonked his head!!! He is so cute when he cries! Isn't that awful!!

I try to write my boys letters every once in awhile and tell them what they are doing at this age and what me and their Dad are doing..and whats going on in the world..How much we love them and then put them in the back of their baby books..so someday they can read them. I think this is one of those days for writing a few of those letters.

I have been chewing on this verse all week..and I will probably chew on it longer..cause I cant remember verses for the life of me..I have tried all my life!! (If anyone has any tricks let me know) But I know how to read..so I have been reading this over and over ..... Have a blessed day!!

But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.
He will be like a tree planted by the water, that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.
Jeremiah 17:7-8

Hi Melody,

I have a hard time memorizing verses too! But I figure the more I really learn what they mean...like looking up every word and really meditating on it, the more it sinks in.

I am studying John 15 - 18 right now. Jesus is the Vine and we are the branches. There is no way for us to produce fruit if we don't abide in Him.

Just continue to obey Him and the fruit will begin to blossom off your branches!

I love you! You are a wonderful wife to my son, fantastic mommy to my g-babies, and the sweetest daughter-n-law anyone could ask for. I thank God all the time for you!
