A blend of love...: September 2010 already!!

HAPPY ALMOST SEPTEMBER!!!

So blogging never really tops my list of things to do with my time, but I really want to do a better job about sharing my life, Brixton's life and what God is doing in each of them with any and everyone. So bare with me as I try to do a better job of posting amazing adventures of our walks with the Lord.

The Lord has truly blessed my life in so many ways. I am surrounded by amazing people and involved with great fellowship. (www.thedtc.org) God

has really been laying a lot of things on my heart lately, and I've been praying to keep remembering that the Lord is my refuge and my strength. My hope must always be in him and nothing more or less. His timing and plan is always b

etter then any one that I can come up with.

Proverbs 30:5

Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those

who take refuge in him.

No matter what God is completely flawless. How great to server such a strong and faithful God.

Brixton and I monkeying around! He brings me such joy. I thank God daily for him. He truly refines me as a mother and woman of Christ.

POTTY TRAINING!!!

Brixton, my mom and I have begun the insane task

of potty training. I am trying so very hard to be patient in the whole thing, and it has been working thus far. He gets so excited when he goes in the "big pot" and gets to flush everything down the toilet. He is still working on actually telling us when he needs to go to the bathroom, and it sure is a blast when he has underpants on and forgets to say he has to go. I've started cleaning up messes more often now. Never having a child other then Brixton, and I've only potty trained a cat in the past, I have no idea what the best thing to do is. My son is so patient with me during this process as well. I can't believe he is growing up so fast!! I will probably throw a party when he is no longer in diapers with all the money I will save :) I'll keep you all posted when that even is taking place ha ha.

PART-TIME!

With a lot of prayer and patiently waiting, I have gone part time at the salon. (www.bellasalonsandspas.com) There were a few reasons I was praying over and seeking the Lord on in this area of my life. I didn't want to make the decision based on an selfish desires or laziness. I really began to have a desire to home school Brixton since December 09/January 10 as well as the quality of time he and I were abl

e to spend together. It finally came to a reality this month. It has been such a blessing. Although I probably won't start a lot of the preschool work until he turns 3 (December 19th... it's so crazy how close it is!!), I have been able to spend more time loving the women of my bible study as well as Brixton. I've been organizing and getting a place thought out for school time vs play time and it is a great feeling to get rid of so much stuff!

God truly is so good, and Brixton and I are in it together. I pray f

or him to be raised in a Godly home with a mother who fears the Lord. I pray for guidance in parenting and can't wait to embark on the path the Lord sets at our feet.
