Exhaling


 Feeling ...Showing....
Back to Full Blog  

 
Time..man surely feels like so much time has past..but it's only been about 3 weeks since the kids are out of school...we' ve been busy as bees lately..which is good..just can't believe that I'm actually keeping up with it all...lol..
 
Joining the gym has been great...I actually got in the pool one day with the kids..I'm not much into the water these past years..but decided to try it out..one of the days they were having a water aerobics class and I got my butt in there and joined in...it was really fun..even though I was like totally slow in the cross pool activity..lol..I'm serious..there were ladies like 20 yrs my age flying across..and here was my old slow butt way behind lol lol...but I didn't give up...now with the rest..I managed to keep up with...Smile..and the exercise equipment inside I'm surely taking use of...my 15 yr old and I both..and let me tell ya..my muscles hurt big time...but hey..no pain no gain huh...like I said before...I actually lost about 5 lbs..woohoo...now its to keep it off..ummm..lol..
 
Oh and father's day was really good...no big shindig...we all went to church together and then out to eat some yummy pizza...which I must say I was so proud..I ate my salad first then only 2 slices yippeee...lol lol...then together shopping...Then comes today....which turns out to be an even better day....I mean I never laughed so much in my life...again we were all together and just so full of joking around...we made each other laugh so hard that our bellies hurt...and not to mention..I have like the weakest bladder you ever seen..so I had to check that once or twice lol lol..my 15 yr old has been saying quite often that this is the best summer..so much better than last year...it makes my heart happy to hear him happy..and all my guys..And you know it's not that we are doing anything really spectacular..just spending more time together...heck I've even joined in on the video games..which is surely a sight to see..just a fussing at that TV...at them lil characters lollol..
 
Only one thing...my eldest ....I miss him...First summer he doesn't come home...job is on campus..better job than the summer one here..but still my heart misses him...But..I am so proud of him!!!...I think this weekend we will make a trip to see him....
 
OOO yeah...I have to tell about church yesterday...Our Agape singers sang the song "How Great Is Our God"...and that song just touches my soul...I was so proud to be able to do the sign language to it...My hubby told me that he could see how much I was moved by it...it showed in me as I signed it...but at one point I looked out and I saw a couple sitting in the front..and the female had her hands up in the air...she was singing and praying with all her heart...it made my heart fill up even more...I just knew they must be visiting with their family...that they were not Catholics...for I've never seen anyone else do that in our church...Even after the song was finish she kept her hands up in praise...and I noticed a man behind my hubby just starring...I felt sorry for that man...for he was missing something that she seemed to have...Smile....
 
On that note...I'll bid you all a great week...and remember How Great our God truly is!!!!!!
 
Now some beautiful and wise songs....

Both songs are wonderful. Don't Blink makes me tear up everytime because it has so much truth how we all just fly through life and not ever take time to slow down and before you know it, it's all gone. I have started in small ways of living more for the day then the future and at times the hosuework goes undone but who cares. If we are having fun as a family isn't that more important then the pillows being a certain way on the couch or even on the couch at all.

SammyJo I adore Chris Tomlin's music! His version of Amazing Grace is my favorite and it really touches me everytime I hear it.

Bear HUgs!

You have a big heart Sammy Jo...lovely posting. And, yes that poor man was not seeing the light, was he? Thanks for sharing, it seems we have kids all about the same age. My oldest,my son will be a sophmore in college next year and my middle daughter is starting as a freshman this fall, and my youngest is 15, and I still cherish every day now as "taxi mom", 'cause I surely will miss it.

luv ya,
n.
