Meditation;
We talked about the word meditation in Sunday School on Sunday. The Bible says we are to meditate on the the Word day and night. The word there literally means murmur. To say it outloud to yourself continually.
I was challenged by this. It was a God-thing for me somehow. So for me this week I am meditating on Colossians 3:23 "Whatever you do work at it with all your heart working as to the Lord not unto men."
This for me...means
Changing Diapers
Cleaning up kid messes.
Cooking Meals.
Online time.
Dealing with lemons.
Bedtime for kids.
EVERYTHING.
Its a scarey proposition somehow...but when I'm focused that way...its amazing how much more peaceful I feel, and how much smoother my house runs.

Got the rest of my blood-work back. I'm anemic. I've never been anemic when none-pregnant (well except for immediately after Rainee was born due to sever hemoraghing) As a result I will be going on iron. Does anybody have a recommendation for a good brand? Pregnancy I've always used the prescription stuff. I like the way it reacts with my body, keeps my body fluid. (for lack of groser details) I may just call my doctor and see if she can order it for me.....
Rainee's pulmo called yesterday so we have an apointment for her February 18th. *cheers* I thought we'd have to wait much longer then that.
Rob had his "v" consultation. And will be going in for the procedure the 13th of February (I think thats the date) Its right this time. Some day we may be called to adopt again. But I feel 100% at peace about not having another pregnancy.
Does anyone know anything about glucosamine? My father is taking it and has essentially "cured" his arthritis. I'm developing arthritis in my hip (thanks to pregnancys) and am considering it......
Hmmm this is just one long health blog LOL.
Kids are watching Cool Runnings and laughing hysterically. Zeria was delighted when I turned it on. "Its all black people!" she said cheering. "I like black people." she says with all seriousness. "I hope so seeings you are black." I said trying not to giggle. "I like white people too mom." she reassured me. *snicker* I responded "I like all colors of people, even purple people."
She got quiet for a minute. "Mom are there purple people???"
sniggers madly. Bad me.
Today I had a first.
I had to tell my kids No more school for a bit. Oy they are addicted to the Disney books. And after 2 doctors apointments, grocery shopping and Cosco in one busy day I just couldn't read with them anymore. Never thought I'd be telling them no to school.
Oh yes...Jeremiah had his check-up today. He's 15 pounds even. (at 2 months of age) Dr. W came in and the nurse said "He's here for his 2 month check." Dr. W looks at Jeremiah and says "You mean his 4 month don't you?" HE's just a big boy. LOL
Poor kiddo survived his 4 shots and seems to be doing well not even cranky. *cheers*
And that's life around here....
Have a great night all.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, working as to the Lord not to men." Colossians 3:23
