Embracing Life


Adorable, isn't he? He's 3 months old in this picture. It feels like yesterday he was just born. He has grown so much so fast. He is starting into the stage where he recognizes Brian and I. When he sees or hears us you will see him start to look around the room and smile as soon as he sees us. It's amazing how their little minds work at this age. Micah amazes me everyday by how much he does. He cooes and cooes at us and tries to talk and it's the coolest thing. I always thought it was neat how they try to communicate with adults when it was someone else's kids. But to watch and listen to little Micah try to do it, it just makes it so much more awesome.
Up until this past week, I felt so helpless when it came to Micah, I felt like I was missing everything. Then I was reading my daily devotional and God sent me a sign. Something that told me I needed to start putting my faith in him. I needed to really start relying on him like I always say that I do. I think deep down we all say we put all of our faith in him but we always keep something of our own to ourselves. Something that we think we can control but we just end of messing it up. That is what I was doing and when I was reading his word something shook me up enough to make me realize it. I wasnt putting God or my family first, I was too worried about trying to pay the bills and make ends meet.
That day was when I decided I was going to put myself back on track. I needed to put all my faith in him and not just some of it. So with Brian going through work conditioning and me working all the time, we had no one to watch little Micah. So we made the decision for me to cut back to Part-Time while Brian is trying to get back to work. So now I get to spend a majority of everyday with my family and I love it. I get to have my time with God and have my time with them. I actually get to see little Micah grow and learn new things. And I am learning to put ALL my faith and ALL my life in God. He is the only one worth putting everything on the line. He put everything he had on the line for me, so why shouldn't I do the same for him?
