Life is good today!

I tried to drink my coffee warm almost 10 times this morning and that's no exaggeration. I never did finish it but I did find it in the microwave at 2:14pm! This week has been so busy for me between housework and the fall festival at church...to top off my exhaustion JohnDavid's been into lots of "fun" things this week, such as a HOT PINK SHARPIE on our KHAKI couch! In case you're wondering, alcohol, fingernail polish remover, and toothpaste with baking soda will ALMOST get it out when scrubbed to death. 😁 But you know what? I wouldn't trade a single moment of this life of mine for anything. Some days are long as a mom, but the years are short. Soon the sight of our little boy pushing this lawnmower will be a faint memory. 
So, for now, I soak up the numerous kisses that follow a spanking because he knows he has done wrong and he wants to make it better, I soak up the snuggles and giggles and fascination with bugs, I soak up the fact that he's wants "mama" all day and to nurse so much, and I soak up every line of Nemo (we've watched it for over a year now, literally) because tomorrow he'll be a bit more grown.

On the road again...

I feel like JohnDavid and I have become nomads. From Georgia to Texas to South Carolina and now to Arkansas all in about 5 weeks time span! One thing I've noticed in all these places (and I'm certain Arkansas will be the same) is that people are the same no matter where you go. People are people. People are looking for happiness everywhere. The people in South Carolina aren't much different than the people in South Alabama. Every one of us has a story. Every one of us has problems. And thankfully, there is ONE solution for us all. JESUS. Jesus is the ONLY One who can satisfy all of us. Do you know Him? I'd love to share Him with you if you don't.
