Past few days I've been doing a lot of thinking and praying about my family. Growing our family and possibly relocating. Our hopes are to try for another baby end of 2014 - praying for a little girl hehehe! But of course she'll "need" her own room.....like how I said NEED! That is where my talks with God have been coming in. Does she really need her own room? Do I really need this? Need that? Get my drift?! We recently paid off a chunk of debt and working on a few more things. Hopefully we can relocate to a bigger home with a backyard and more space. Yesterday Alex and I took a look at possibly renting a house and WOW! Not what we expected. We saw hundreds, more than what we pay in mortgage and not even that nice. We went from EXCITED to DEFEATED! Thinking why would we give up our nice condo, affordable payment for a run down high rent place? Quickly the enemy was putting these bad thoughts into my mind, I tried to brush them off while exercising but it just wasn't working. Finally Alex was like STOP! Let's Pray! As we were praying I could still feel the bad spirit on me, mind was racing and I just couldn't grasp what Alex was saying. We get back to our routine, he was pushing me in my squats, I kept laughing and then finally he said: Every Rep is Every Dollar Saved! You want to expand our family? Then push it! You want to pay off the debt, stop buying. You want a bigger home then you'll get it! Before I knew I was crying and my last set was done! Now talk about punching FEAR IN THE FACE! Gotta love a man that encourages his wife!
Of course God wasn't done with me! In between our sets we were setting new goals, revising our current ones and set out a 6 month plan. I decided to check my IG and BAM! God hits me again with this beautiful photo from our shoot:
I immediately starting bawling and came to my knees! Here I was being selfish and wanting more more more and in front of me was what exactly what I NEED! I have a beautiful son, supportive hubby and the three of us make our HOME A HOME!
Immediately I felt that bad spirit leave my heart and I was given peace from Gods comforting words and a push from Alex.
It's perfectly OK to have goals and want more - but through it all I just need to appreciate what I do have. Continue to count my blessing and enjoy my life every single day. Make those memories, stick to our budget and let God take control.
So, as I sit here on my deck I'm thankful for His new mercies. I'm blessed to be given another day of life. Have peace in my heart and YES LADIES INAM SORE from my workout yesterday! LOL!
Alex: Thank You for pushing me, yelling at me and reminding me of our beautiful life.
Max: Soon you'll have a brother or sister but I want you to know the true meaning of life. Not about material things. Simply knowing Gods love and His plan for your beautiful life.
Thank You & God Bless ❤
