As I walked past my daughter's bedroom, a familiar tune played in her room. I put Eliana down to sleep with soft Christian music. When the cd player part of the boombox broke, I was relegated to using a cassette tape. So as I walked past her room tonight, I heard a tune that brought back a whole flood of memories. Memories that make me miss the home I grew up in, miss my Mom, miss how simple things were. I had to remind myself that in 30 years from now (if my Lord hasn't returned) I will be looking back on this time with those same memories. Memories of my children as little ones. Can I cry now?
Have a good cry! I've been thinking a lot about time and that verse came to mind, (Matt. 6:34) "Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." It reminded that I need to take today and use it to it's fullest and to treasure my kids today, taking every opportunity to drink them in and not be angry if they write on the walls etc. but to be the best Mom I can be for them. I find it easier said than done but I'm trying. I am thinking about you today. God has plans, wonderful plans . . . He even knows about your broken CD player. I love it that He is in the details.
I have this blog mostly because of my sister-in-law, Yvonne. She has had her blog forever...well, in blog history. This blog's purpose, I would say is to keep my family and friends up-to-date on the latest pictures and experiences of our lives. With this digital age, there are so many pictures, that sometimes they get lost on disks and the computer. This helps to keep them where they belong, in the memories of those we love.
I am passionate about God, my husband Paul, my daughters Sammie and Eliana and worship music; especially vineyard, passion and other comparable music. I love singing and playing the piano which I basically taught myself with the help of my immensely talented husband, my sister-in-law, Yvonne (who is also extremely talented) and the Lord. I like listening to Joyce Meyer and watching sappy movies that make me cry.
If you were to hang around me long enough, you would find that I am not picky, I am very easy going and I pretty much go with the flow. I require just a few things to make my life enjoyable: an occasional trip to the salon, time with my girlfriends and snuggles by my husband.
My husband is Amazing! I had to find him in another country because there were no good ones here for me. I also am completely convinced that God picked out one specific man for me and he was in Canada. Paul is romantic, always thinking of how he can please me and very passionate about God. He is a true family man, wanting rather to spend time at home with us than go out with his friends. My husband does not compromise with his faith. He lives his life by the bible and the leading of the Holy Spirit. I am thankful for Paul and I hope I say it enough to him. We have been married since Jan. 1993
My First Daughter
Samantha was born August 17, 2001. She is very energetic, imaginative, intelligent and social. Sammie is homeschooled and doing extremely well, reading about a book each day. Sammie plays very well by herself because she was an only child for almost 5 years. She loves to sing and is practicing harmonizing with Paul and myself. When Sammie grows up, she wants to be an animal groomer. I hope that whatever she does, Sammie will seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
My Second Daughter
Eliana was born June 4, 2006. She is definitely her own person! She is very determined and loves to make us laugh. She is strong willed and very inquisitive. From the time Eliana was very young, she has been the comedian in the family (just like her Daddy). I enjoy tremendously having Eliana.
My First Son
Nicolas was born February 13, 2009. He is laid back, a true 3rd born child. Nico smiles easily, even strangers can get him to smile, which always makes the elder ladies in the store very happy.
