An awesome GOD moment

Ever have one of those God AHA! moments, where you know the situation in front of you was only planned by God and no human could have timed it any better on their own? Yup, I had a moment like that yesterday!

A few months ago my cousin messaged me and asked what size clothes my boys were in. She had two Christmas outfits that were a 2 and a 4 and wanted to know if I wanted them. Not knowing what they looked like I said yes and completely forgot about the conversation.

Things have been 'tight' lately and I've been trying to cut back on what I buy that I dont need to buy. Christmas outfits was one of those 'cut backs' I figured I had enough cute clothes I could figure something out for pictures without spending a fortune on new outfits. Yesterday I was having a rough day' and was thinking about skipping Christmas cards this year. (I would wait until the baby was born and do a birth announcement/christmas card in one)

Yesterday afternoon I went outside and saw there was a package on the steps.... didn't come with the mail at normal time so fed ex must have brought it..... Inside was two Christmas outfits.... complete with dress shirt, sweater vest and pants.... as well as two little cars, a box of crayons and a coupon for a free photo book.

Can I just say, God is amazing how He times things. I didn't expect this package and truthfully, I forgot about the clothes coming.

So, what I'm trying to say, don't stop doing what you feel God wants you to do. You never know what a blessing you will be to someone else. I know I felt blessed because of her simple actions. You never know how much of a blessing you can be on someone unless you try.

A month.

Isn't it funny how long a month can feel when you are anticipating something, like the birth of a child? Now, a few months from now I"ll look back and wonder where the time has gone once my little one is 3 or more months old. Right now, however, a month feels so long.

Instead of viewing it as 30 painfully long days, I'll chose to view it with joy. Instead of complaining how uncomfortable I am each and every day (and its getting worse!) I'll choose to focus on what is right in front of me.

1. I have three amazing children who love my attention. So, I will get down on the floor (may not get back up) and play with them.

2. I will enjoy the independence my children each have (some more than others) to do little tasks. Once baby comes I'll be pretty much connected to this new little life for a few months.

3. I will enjoy working with Sophia's homework, doing crafts with her, and spending as much time as possible with her when she is home from school.

4. I will enjoy a few dates with my husband (almost) kid free.

There is a whole lot of 'yuck' in the world that can drag you down. The world we live in can be a very depressing place. But you can choose not to let it drag you down! You can start each day and say no to those yucky thoughts and make the most of the days.

Instead of me viewing the last month of this pregnancy in a bad way, I can choose to rejoice in the baby growing in my womb, the little life that he/she will become. Am I uncomfortable, absolutely! Will I let that rob my joy, no way.
