Move Over Boys....Mama's Moving In

Yep, I'm invading my three son's space. With three sons and one husband, I am seriously outnumbered...and love it! Boys are FUN, but different. We learn and "compliment" (no - adapt is a better word) each other. DH (dear husband) is in the middle of a major bathroom home improvement project. In the master bathroom (which is mainly MY space with room for MY things), the shower has been pulled out and a new one is being installed. With any home improvement project, there are delays. So I am getting a lesson in patience.

But meanwhile, this means that all five us share the bathroom which has always been "the boys bathroom". It is getting a complete makeover. I thought it was cute, moving their Old Spice Body Wash and Suave Men's Hair Shampoo over to make room for my Aura Spa Aromatherapy Calming Lavender Sage Shampoo and Conditioner. Until the first morning when it was on the floor - sideways - cast off without respect or care.....For years I have tried to keep their stuff organized. In a nice basket, under the sink, in cute organizing containers. To no avail. EVERYTHING they need is laid out on the small sink. I finally convinced one son to put his stuff in something since everyone else was using it. He gets a disposable Hardee's cup and puts everything in it and leaves it on the counter. Not my idea of "nice".

But we are all adapting at sharing this special time together. Since there is no room to be orderly, we have all our stuff together: Spiderman face mask for the bathtub, the infamous Hardees organizer, my pink razor and sweet and smooth shaving cream, lavender shampoo and conditioner, pouffes, body wash etc. Old Spice Body Wash, Ax Body Spray...you name it, it is in there. So goes...life with boys.

    It's so funny how they "organize" compared to us girls! That's just too funny--everything stuffed in a Hardee's cup!:)

    Hope your renovations are completed soon!!

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him.  Obeying God doesn’t have to be unattainable or impossible, but can be a joyful, beautiful journey as we go by step and follow Him.
