Pray for sweet Daisy. My friend Brooke told me about Stephanie, Daisy's mama. Her sister is law is friends with Stephanie. Daisy was stung by a scorpion a few days ago and is slowly getting better each day. Pray that God continues to fully heal her.
I can't imagine watching my baby go through something so devastating. I choose to trust Jesus with my children, but it's so easy when they are healthy and strong. I am so incredibly thankful for their health.
As a mom I worry, worry, worry about my kids so much. "Mommy guilt" is a cute and funny name for something that completely paralyzes you with fear. I say I trust Jesus, but do I? How would I react in crisis? I know with my mind that no matter what I do I will never make all of the right choices. Even when I DO make the right choices, something can still happen. My children aren't my possessions they are a gift that has been given to me. All that I can do is the best I can, pray for them everyday, and then trust Jesus. He is more than enough when I am so much less and I just need to keep reminding myself of this.
On a completely different, totally surfacey, but still super fun note...
I bought Finley some new shoes today! See Kai Run, one of my favorite brands, is on Zulily, one of my favorite discount sites. I got Finley the pink version of her favorite yellow shoes and some purple ones for the Fall. So fun!
Today is the last day to enter the adorable giveaway from Yellow Finch Design. Don't forget to enter, if you haven't already.
This weekend my husband and I are going away for the night, alone. I'm so excited to spend some time with my husband and just relax. Ahhhhhh. Thank you so much to my amazing mom and mother in law!
Ahhh I bought Bixby the same pair, and the yellow peep toes and a purple pair for winter! So happy to see them pop up on Zulily!

ReplyDeletecute goodies for finley! xo

Oh, how awful. I'll be praying.
ReplyDeleteAll of the things the you mentioned about trusting in Jesus are things I've had to think about a lot lately. I feel like there has been far too much tragedy in our lives lately, and I'm so afraid I won't be able to handle it if anything happened to my immediate family. I know it's all about faith, but right now, as I grieve over my cousin's tragic, sensless death, I have a hard time putting my faith in anything. On the flip side, if I didn't trust in the Lord and have that faith, I think this would be so much harder.
Thanks so much for posting the link to A Little Along the Way, praying for that sweet Daisy!
ReplyDeleteFound your blog on Flowerchild Dwelling and so glad I did!
I'm so guilty of the worry that comes with being a mama, I have two little girls and try my hardest every day to just trust Jesus with everything that He has given me.

It's so painful to see that picture. Our daughter Ever was hospitalized at one month old for eight days with RSV and almost ventilated. Hooked up to everything, poked and prodded, couldn't move. I'll pray.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! That's horrible! I just prayed for that precious little girl! Please keep us updated!
ReplyDeleteYep: watch me copy-paste your own words on your own blog (keep reading... I´m not a friek, I swear): "I say I trust Jesus, but do I? How would I react in crisis? I know with my mind that no matter what I do I will never make all of the right choices. Even when I DO make the right choices, something can still happen. My children aren't my possessions they are a gift that has been given to me. All that I can do is the best I can, pray for them everyday, and then trust Jesus. He is more than enough when I am so much less and I just need to keep reminding myself of this." So, it´s me again. I just had to do that because your words spoke SO loudly to me. I live with these thoughts (though probably thought in spanish) everyday. I have always tried to do things right with my beautiful children, and no matter how hard I tried, I almost lost my son. My brave boy, and our heartbreaking experience is what brought me closer to God, even though I still have "trust-issues". I know this too will mend. thankyou for your words.
