So my mom forwarded me this little snippet off of her friend Joyce's facebook page, and I honestly couldn't help but laugh, and think how awesome it is!
If more of us single women could keep this idea in mind, I am pretty sure that we would all be a little happier than we are now!I am personally going to send this to all my gals, and I'm going to print it up, make it really pretty, and stick it somewhere I can see it...EVERY DAY!
Let me know what you think!
To all the girls who are in a hurry to have a boyfriend or get married, a piece of Biblical advice:
"Ruth patiently waited for her mate Boaz." While you are waiting on YOUR Boaz, don't settle for any of his relatives: Broke-az, Po-az, Lyin-az, Cheating-az, Dumb-az, Drunk-az, Cheap-az, Lockedup-az, , Good-for-nothing-az, Lazy-az, and especially his third cousin Beatin-you-az.
Wait on your Boaz and make sure he respects Yo-az.
So while we wait for our Boaz's, let's make sure we are waiting patiently, for the right Boaz, shall we?
Let's not get caught up in all the imitation "I'm your MAN!-Pick ME!" jazz, when we know, deep down that we are waiting for something far better, and we deserve more than just having to settle.

A Heart like Mine?
Psalm 51:17
Today Pastor Dave talked in Ephesians, about our hearts. We are doing a series, reading through the book of Ephesians right now.
some things he said really struck me, as I sat there, in a sea of people, I wondered how many of them are actually obedient to God in their every day life?
That I have the ability to have a one-on-one true relationship with the God who created everything, including me, muscle by muscle, fiber by fiber, sinew by sinew, simply astounds me sometimes.
And I don't know why!
I KNOW who He is, what He is about, and yet, there are moments when all else falls away, and I simply stand in awe of Him.
He wants my heart, just as it is, doesn't require me to do better, change drastically, or pretend to be something I am not when I come to Him.
Pastor Dave said that obedience to God is us, relinquishing our control...giving up all that we are, not just some, but everything...so that God can take the driver's seat....
He loves me, just the way I am.
But He loves me to much to leave me that way.
The old hymn is in my head tonight, O What A Friend We Have In Jesus....thank God for that!
O my people, trust in him at all times. Pour out your HEART to him,for God is our refuge.
Psalm 62:8

Children's Hospital...Quite an event!
So, our trip to Children's hospital was more or less "uneventful" in my eyes as a mommy.
Essentially, I learned very little more in terms of what is wrong with my sweet son, where it's coming from, or even how to fix it. The fact that I have no choice BUT to sit back and watch as my son endures these seizure-mimicking episodes constantly every day is killing me. But, for now, they say there is nothing that can really be done.
So, our journey was short, a 24-hr. EEG, but I did take some pictures, because he just looks so darn cute in his little "hat".
This is our hospital room. We had a "lay bed" which is basically two mats on the floor so that we can sleep together and I can be close if he needs me, with blue 'bumpers' all around us so that the kiddos cannot escape easily.
This was our waiting room, we were here for several hours because they didn't have a regular room ready for us yet. So after the electrodes were put on and he had his hat finished, equipped with Thomas and Percy stickers galore, we sat down and began the test and watched Thomas. We all decided that his "hat" was the same as Sir Toppem's hat on Thomas, so he felt even more special!
The first of way more than several times in a 24 hour period. haha. My little conductor!
This was right after they got him all finished up, and began the test. He was hooked up to a lot of machines this boy. I tell you what...us and hospital visits...Geesh!
Me and him this was taken about 11:30 p.m. cuz neither one of us could sleep. The lights were on all night, and he got a second wind. Poor lil guy!
He was so brave, he did so great he hardly ever remembered he had the stuff on his head!
I was so surprised, but he is just a wonderful kiddo, and I'm so stinkin' lucky to have him as my son.
My brave lil conductor, I love you!
And as an additional note*The people that work at Children's hospitals, are just so special, they are so wonderful to the kiddos there, thank you for being so wonderful!*
