All I can think about right now is my absolute favorite song: "Who Can Satisfy?"
We sung it in church this morning and these are the lyrics:

Who can satisfy my soul, but you?
Who on earth can comfort me
And love me like You do?
Who could ever be more faithful and true?
I will trust in You, I will trust in You, my God!

There is a fountain
Who is the King
Victorious Warrior and Lord of everything
My rock, my shelter, my very own
Blessed Redeemer, who reigns upon the throne

If you can get your hands on this song, it is absolutely amazing! You can't help but to lift up your hands in praise and worship to our King when you sing it.

Grandma Jane, Sandy, Ginger and myself took the kids to "Imagine It!" museum in downtown Atlanta last week. We had a good time, so I wanted to post some pictures of the kids. The museum is like a huge playroom on steroids. It's really cool for kids and moms, too!

Days like today make me so grateful for good health. I often take good health for granted, but God reminds me of how blessed our family really is. This morning Ivey woke up complaining of a stomach ache and I just thought that maybe she just needed to eat some breakfast. I don't have much compassion on stomach aches because my mom never did with my sister and I. Unless we were actually vomiting or close to death, we went to school or whatever else we were involved in. So until, I see my child actually throwing up, I don't pay much attention to their complaints. AND... after having three kids there is A LOT of complaining so I often just don't listen unless one of them is in great distress. Well, I was pulling in to the parking space at the gym and Ivey threw up all over herself in her car seat. Oh, well. So much for the rest of the day!! She threw up a couple of more times after that but now she's feeling much better. She's pretty much back to normal which is wonderful. I just wonder how it makes God feel to hear me complain. I really don't have anything to complain about. I have a wonderful family, good health and many more blessings. But, even if I didn't have those things I still wouldn't have anything to complain about! The Bible says that we have peace that passeths all understanding and a joy that is pretty much unexplainable. I didn't say "happiness", I said joy. Thank you, Lord, for loving me and dying for me. Thank you for loving me and calling me your own even when I complain about absolutely everything that doesn't even matter. And thank you for not waiting until I'm in complete distress before you decide to listen. Even though, that
is when I learn the most about you. I love You!!!

There's not much going on here. We've had a pretty routine Monday...I went to work out this morning, came home and played with the kids, did laundry, took the kids outside and, of course, we had nap time! It has been such a beautiful day today and the temperature is absolutely perfect! I love to go outside everyday and check on my flowers. I've planted quite a few flowers in the front and I can't wait until they're all blooming. For some reason, having a yard with lots of flowers lifts my spirit. Speaking of lifting my spirits, this week is one of my favorite weeks of the year. This week is Mother's Day, my birthday AND my anniversary. This year I'm turning 29!! Only one more year to go before hitting the big 3-0! Chris and I are celebrating our 6th anniversary and I can't wait for the next 6! School is winding down so Morgan doesn't have much homework which is a huge stress relief for me and him! Chris and I will be getting ready to go visit Matt and Georgianna next week and then we'll be at the beach for a week. My absolute favorite place to be is at the beach. I can't wait! This time of year is so much fun!

Well, my 16-year old niece told me that if I'm going to have a website it needs to have more "pizzazz." I'm not sure what her idea of "pizzazz" is...but I'll do my best. I'm posting a picture of my new tattoo. I can't believe I actually went through with it, but I did and I'm so glad I got it. The tattoo is three flowers. Each one is the birth flower for each of my children. Starting from the left is Morgan's birth flower, a calendula. In the middle is Ivey's birth flower, an aster. On the right is Gavin's birth flower, an iris. So am I the coolest aunt or what?!

Is it really May 4th already? I can't believe how the time just flies by. I don't really have any great spiritual insight today...just feeling like regular 'ole me. I do have kind of a funny story though. I have really been praying about being more disciplined in my quiet times. I got up early Tuesday morning to have some time to myself to read the Bible and pray and wouldn't you guess...I had no more sat down and started praying before I heard Gavin crying! I just kept praying because I knew that Satan didn't want to spend time in the Word. Anyways, I had gone all day yesterday without having a quiet time and, honestly, hadn't really thought much about it. I was getting ready for bed last night and wanted to watch TV in bed before going to sleep. I was searching and searching for the remote control in our bedroom and couldn't find it anywhere!!! I even had Chris helping me look forward and we never could find it. So, I decided that I should probably spend some time reading the Bible and praying anyway! I read in the Bible and studied a little bit and then went to turn off the light. After I got back in bed, I reached down to grab the covers and I grabbed the remote control! In the dark!! I just laughed to myself - God really does have quite a sense of humor.
