Visitations

Ugh, I really shouldn't say this but I Hate visitations for my foster babies. I worry too much I guess. The little baby I am taking care of has a heart monitor on today and I am worried about crazy mom. As I write this, God is saying, "Do not worry about anything, Pray about Everything". That is a great reminder because I will be the first to admit, I have a problem with worry. I am a constant stress ball inside and then I wonder why my Autoimmune disease flares up. LOL
Well that is my confession of the day... haha but I seriously need to ask God to take me to the point of not worrying. I can not do it, he has to help me to that point. Also, I do get a lot more done with work and house stuff when I have a break from the baby so that is something positive to look at. My day started out at 5 am today and I feel pretty good so far. My BBF, coffee, hasn't left my side and we are getting things done together. I love days that are productive and I feel like I accomplish many items on my TO DO list.
My reminder for today:
⁶ Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. ⁷ Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

A relaxing day for me

Today I had a pretty mellow morning...Yesterday was all about poop, children and animal craziness. But today I am tired. The 4 month old woke up almost every hour last night so I had a hard time getting up today. My 3 year old foster child woke me up at 7am. I dream of being the kind of  mommy that gets up before her family and makes a gorgeous breakfast and looks gorgeous herself but LOL. It is just one of my many goals. The baby had a home visit with his mom so they picked him up at 9:30am. I pulled a bin of toys out that I had put up for a few months for my 3 year old to play with and kept him busy while I worked and cleaned. Then I set things aside for a little and played toys, puzzles and did activitiy books with him.  This week I have so many appointments with the foster children that today is my catch up day. I love doing foster care but it sure keeps me busy. I have 3 older children, 20,17 and 15 so somedays I think what the heck am I doing! Then I remember that God said to take care of the fatherless and that is what I was once. I had a bio dad, then a step dad, and now I have a real Father. Thank you Jesus for that reminder and that gives me strengh to be the kind of mommy that these children need today.  One day at a time.

 James 1: 27 Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.
