hola?

Tonight, Mason asked Darren to come up and tuck him in and Darren was busy getting the trash together and kinda ignoring him (cant blame him because Mason drags it on and on). Mason yells down, "Don't you speak my language?"

Has he been watching Oprah or something?

10 things I love in honor of LOVE day-

I challenge you to take a few minutes---don't think about it too much--and put 10 things you love---besides the obvious-- on your blog!! or respond in my comments.

1. Ear Wax - I have a love hate relationship with it
2. Diet Coke--It's my drug of choice.
3. When the Lord shows me later (sometimes years later) why He did what He did---know what I mean??
4. Oreos--I can't buy them because I don't share!!
5. Finishing a book and wish it didn't finish!!
6. Darren rubbing my back!! Love it and wish he could follow me around all day doing it.
7. A bargain--any time, any where, any thing
8. When my kids say words wrong and say it that way all the time and don't know or care that they are saying it wrong. For example Mason says Teeter Tots for Tater tots.
9. My toe nails painted - bonus to have a pedicure
10. Naptime - for the kids but occasionally even me!!

Hearts at home

Hey friends. I am thinking about attending the Hearts at Home conference and wondered if any of you have attended and what speakers you would suggest?!

worry vs concern

I am reading a book called " Having a Mary Heart in A Martha World". The book is based on the Mary and Martha story in the bible. This chart I thought was important and wanted to share.


Concern
+Involves a legitimate threat
+Is specific (one thing)
+Addresses the problem
+Solves problems
+Looks to God for answer

Worry
+Is often unfounded
+Is generalized (many things)
+Obsesses about the problem
+Creates more problems
+Looks to self or others for answers

Mason Drive in movie night
