accountability.....

I have been thinking a lot lately how I depend on coffee. I look forward to sleeping sometimes because I know that it will only be 8 hours until I get to enjoy that sip again. It is like my cigarette. I am drawn to having conversation with my husband which then makes me feel like I can conquer the world. I am able to get a million things done afterwards because of the energy it gives me. And I think it also causes me to sit and just be me. In other words coffee has become my god. I feel as though I can't live with out it. I look to it for confidence, strength and energy. It is the first thing I go to when I wake up and probably the last thing I think about. So after talking about this with a friend of mine today I have decided to do something about it. I am going to seek first His kingdom. I am not going to have a cup of coffee until I have have met with my one true God. I want to desire Him before anything else. I want to have Him know the real me. I want to depend completely on Him and nothing else! So sistas please help keep me accountable in this.

  2. Good for you Amber - I think it is awesome that you've noticed something you need to change and are working towards that. It is so easy to depend on tangible things to get us through our life, instead of God, isn't it?!

Okay Dallas when you hit the ball you need to run to 1st base, 2nd base, and then home.....no mom! I don't want to go home!Reese was outside singing today while she was on the swing. And she says to me. "Mom, the sun is coming out because I am singing....I am wakin it up!" Keep singing girl, keep singing!Dallas: Look mom his doesn't have twin wheels! (translation:training wheels)Dallas: When I am a daddy....I want one of those baby Norahs.So sweet!Reese: Mom I like these things...What things? Reese: These Rat-tat-too-ies Do you mean Tattoos?Reese: Yah! TattoosDallas was holding Norah and this is what he said....Norah pooped. She pooped 3 times....Oooo....she pooped 10 times mom!!Reese was going to the bathroom and when she was done she looked (as all kids do) and said "oooo, look mom. I ate carrots!"Reese has been wanting her ears pierced. She spent that night at Ambers house and asked her if she could do it. Amber told her that it would hurt and after she did one ear she would have to do the second ear. She said "how bout you do the second ear first"We been telling the kids that Norah can't have anything to eat because she is to little. Dallas walks in the hospital and get up to look at Norah and says: "I want to see if she has a mouth"In the morning when the kids wake up they come and crawl in bed with us. I was laying on my side talking with Reese. She looked at me and said "Mom...your boobs are hugging" I just laughed. She then said "they love each other" The thoughts of a 5 ....and just in case you were wondering. I was wearing a tank top ;)Mom....when I am a mom I will have two kids and then we will have lots of kids at our house!!(And what do we have now...I am thinking)Dallas looked at my blog and the picture of the "barefoot and pregnant""mommy that's you!"Boy do I love that kid ;)My room is usually a mess. Of course I have all the "good" excuses as to why :) Well my surprise when I got home from work was a nice clean room with a made bed.When Reese came and got me this morning she said "Mom your room is Amazing!"

the things they say...

Reese: Hey mom look! She walks just fine and doesn't even need a cane! (we were at costco and she said this about an elderly lady...nice!)
