I've got a feeling..

Well, I've had this feeling for a while now. A feeling like there's something I'm meant to be doing, but the timing isn't right yet and I have no clue what it is. I'm so anxious to jump right into this thing that I know nothing about though! I think this is part of the uncontainable joy and excitement that lands upon me at times that I have no explanation for.

Until then, I'll carry these verses in my heart as I pray (and beg) that God shows me what I'm supposed to be doing.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Joyful noise!

My heart is full and threatening to burst with joy once again this morning. There's no real, tangible reason for this though. It's a wonderful feeling - not having my joy hanging on something wordly, something that is meaningless in the long run!

I've been having mini-revivals in my car every morning for the last two days. (Perhaps this has been the spout for this faucet running with joy?) Both days, something in the lyrics has been almost taking my breath away, catching in my throat and in my heart. A verse (found multiple times) in the Bible comes to mind - "He who has ears to hear, let him hear!". I am hearing! And I am grateful!

We're gonna sing like the saved
A joyful noise we will make
You put this joy in our hearts
We're gonna dance like the saved

- from Sing Like the Saved by David Crowder Band

YOU put this joy in my heart, God!

I made a few setting changes to my blog so i'm just testing this out to see if a new post really, truly appears! Ready, set, GO!

Praise Him!

I will dance
I will sing
To be mad
For my King
Nothing Lord
Is hindering
This passion in my soul

- from the song Undignified by The David Crowder Band.

Ever feel like you have so much passion, joy, and energy in your soul and you are desperate for an outlet for it all? I feel like that today. I'd like to run through a field on the top of a mountain, loudly singing this song!

Today is...

... World Fist Bump Day!

Gimme some knuckles!

Don't drink the bath water!

Aren't I on a roll getting two blog posts in on one day?

My boy has already learned to fake me out. Last night during bath time, he kept picking up one of the bath cups and going in for a drink of bath water. I'd say, "Yuck! Don't drink the bath water!". But, the kid kept doing it! After a few times, I got up to move the cup from his mouth and again tell him that was gross, but ya know what? The cup was empty!!! He continued faking me out by letting the water dribble down his chin occassionaly, likely so as to throw me off guard by putting a cup with water up to his lips.

Brown Eyes not so Brown..

Well, this week E has been battling the dreaded pink eye. Luckily, it hasn't spread to anyone else, but the poor kid looks so sad when he looks up at you with those goobery, pink eyes. We've been using the prescription eye drops since Sunday, but it's slow going clearing up. The problem though may be due to the extremely difficult task of getting stinging drops of medicine into a 2-year old's eyes.. Though bribery is encouraging him to cooperate, it's still a natural reflex to close your eyes when you see something coming at them!

Here's hoping for a bright and clear holiday weekend, with no pink except for the frosting on the cake! (Yes, I may be baking a cake because I just got the COOLEST giant cupcake shaped baking pan and I reaaaally want to try it out!)
