Faithful Friday {week 2}

Ah! I almost forgot. I actually remembered earlier today but was unable to get on the computer right at that moment so I forgot - which happens frequently if my thoughts are delayed too long. I used to blame it on pregnancy but now I guess it shows that I'm still trying to get all those lost brain cells back, do they all return? Where do they vacation? *Quick side note: for all you other Blogger users out there, don't you just love how it autosaves while posting?! Like once a minute, for people like me who can {sometimes} type about 60wpm that's a lot of work saved. I'm excited about it, I could have used it a week or so ago when I unexpectedly lost my connection.* Anyways, back to Faithful Friday. I know I'm a little late in the day but I still have 31 minutes before it is Saturday and I'm sure I'll post my smart habits later in the day tomorrow so it all kinda works itself out in the end. As if you all are refreshing my page waiting in anticipation for the next new post. Ha!

My blog pal Kim over at Daily Blessings started Faithful Fridays and invited me to join along. I look at this as a good opportunity to change my perspective/outlook on things. Sometimes we or at least me anyway ~ can get caught up in all the drama life brings. The disappointments, struggles, challenges, heartache, etc. can be so overwhelming and swallow you whole if you aren't careful. So this is part of me being careful. At least once a week I will proclaim how God is faithful to me and his promises. I think it more often throughout the week and sometimes it comes through in my posts but there's something about putting it in writing. Once it's out there - it's out there and I can look back on these when I'm having a rough day and remember that God is God and he is good.

So today I am thankful that God has not only blessed me with a great husband and two beautiful children but that He continues to pour out his mercy & grace on me. There are days that I feel I can't do anything right - more often as my son gets older & wiser {read: sassier}. On those days, much like today, I know that it is only through him I'm able to take a deep breath, collect myself and press on. He gives me reminders through my husbands encouragement, my son's kisses & my daughter's sweet smile that I am not failing, but rather I'm still learning, that I'm doing my best and I'm doing a good job. I'll end this quick post with a couple of photos of said blessings. Thanks for visiting & hope to see you again soon.




Updated: So I ended up posting my Smart Habit Saturday tonight. Silly, I know. Oh and also, one thing about this constant saving stuff is I think it may post each time it saves. But at least you won't lose your work.
