Kisses...

Today it seems that all I long to do is kiss the necks of my sweetest, littlest ninjas. I've held each one at different times today so close to my chest where I can simply bow my head and be nuzzled in their necks, closing my eyes as I soaking in the scent of pure, sweet skin and feeling their softness. For minutes at a time I just kiss them while I'm there. Neither of them cared, but returned the love by lowing their heads on my shoulder and simply being still. Being still....not very common for babies, toddlers or any kid for that matter. And for those few moments my heart was in heaven as I whispered a prayer never to forget this time, their feel, these hugs...these kisses.
My mind switched to God and how He must see us. Since we are "made in His image", then I know if I adore holding my little one next to me and mercilessly showering them with kisses, so must He. No one was hurt needing a Mommy's kiss to make it better, and no one was forced into submission as I planted a kiss on them they were pretending not to want. Both of us wanted the love. I realize how neat it is that God wants to love on me even when I'm not going through a hard trial. He wants to shower me with love, but am I still enough? When He is loving on me, am I still enough to receive it? It leads me down a whole knew dimension on the verse "be still and know that I am God".
I don't know, maybe I'm just hormonal and seeing a kitten purr up to a crocodile right now would send me into a whirlwind of tears while finding a spiritual revelation in the moment. But I'd like to think not. So for what its worth, here it is...my two cents.

My Twenty Minute Ride Home

When I was growing up, I simply refused to show hormonal emotion. I even took pride in the fact I could watch Steele Magnolias and not shed a tear. This is no longer the case (and don't get me started on that darn movie...I bawl like a baby every time). This "release of emotion" all started back to when I first got married. The Cajun and I (like most people) had an interesting first few years of marriage. The man could not seem to learn how to read my mind, or the huge hints I would send out. Thus the tears.... Then things got worse after I birthed a 9lb human. Suddenly those stupid Hallmark commercials would just ruin me. And then I tried to potty train this ninja....and again....and the last time I tried, he got it. I'm not sure if you have ever tried to potty train a stubborn male being at a young age or not but its a type of hell on earth all on it's own. I can still hear myself yelling "JUST GO TO COLLEGE IN A DIAPER!!! I NO LONGER GIVE A FLYING FART IN...

Life in the Treehouse

I refer to our home as the Treehouse since it's a second story condo. It's technically 1560 sq feet of home which is larger than our first single-story house was. But when you get inside, it seems somewhat nestled in a tree due to all the large trees surrounding the front windows. I use to despise the Treehouse....it was the means to an end for me. Now I love it....I adore it actually. And I cringe of the day when we may have to leave it. There are so many memories in this place. My oldest ninja was three (almost four) when we moved in, and now there are not one but THREE ninjas. Our neighbors always (not exaggerating) greet our crew with a huge smile as they give the southern "hi" in our direction. I use to think it was because they are just so darn nice. But the other day as I was belting out the chorus to Angel of the Morning (in my best Dolly Pardon voice...not that she sung it) while unloading the washing machine that is right near the front door, I realized, th...

Eat Cake. Be Brave. Book Review!

Hey y'all, I was blessed to get my hands on an early copy of this book to read and review. I have never in my life done a book review....I've only ever done book reports, and I stunk it up with those. So hopefully, I can do this review justice. Please know that this is my personal opinion of what I gained from reading this book. I am not getting paid to do this. I promise you, I will be completely honest, and completely myself. In the fashion of being honest, here is what you need to know about my reading preferences. I of course, love reading the Bible (although some books I need either Cliff's Notes to understand or something like Leviticus for Dummies), I soar through fiction (especially Christian fiction), gently jog through autobiographies and come to a dead halt when it comes to spiritual/self help books. I just do. I have so many I have yet to finish. I think it's because they make me think deep and hard about my life, and if you know me, I'm good at ma...
