{Hold Me Still} #motivation #inspiration #latism #foreverjones

Why am I so invested in this whole blog thing?

Some days I don't even know what to write about! Most days I don't have super great pictures to go along with my words... other days... the words are just there... I never really know my reach or my impact... ahiii Connie so horribly "blah",  I know! Ha. Trust me I know EVERYTHING takes time and I am a very impatient person... but I think this whole Blogger Conference has me thinking. This whole Stay-@-Home-Momma thing, has me thinking.

Some days are good and others not.so.much. I need to not over think and relax. Some days it's hard... not to Over.think and to just relax.

I am working on my inspiration and motivation of words, space and life... 

What should I write? How should I write? Where is this all going to lead me to? Who knows. 

In the mean time...I keep busy and try not to seem so lost...if this is what I prayed for..why is it becoming so difficult.

I know I am Blessed...but I am still seeking and these feelings of "what-if" and doubt are stirring in my heart!

It's difficult.

But, I move forward!

Then I pray. I hear and I listen.

Dear Lord Hold Me Still...

And, He says to me;

Fill every, EVERY corner of your heart with Faith and Hope. Faith that I am here RIGHT NOW. Hope that I KNOW where I am leading you. I know it's hard to see right now. I know it's hard to envision it. And, I KNOW it's hard to stand right now but TRUST me, you and I have made the right choice. I know where I want you to go I know where I want you to be. I am holding you still... have peace. Be patient. Have faith...that I am holding you still... 

"DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOUR FUTURE DAUGHTER.....so I won't magnify the small things... I WILL ONLY GLORIFY THE FATHER...."

The perfect moment....

Be still... 

God is here. 



Also, tomorrow... is the beginning of the LATISM BLOGGER CONFERENCE here in Houston! I am praying that my business cards come in and that God can give me grace to do everything that is asked of me, to meet expectations and to learn everything that is afforded to me! I am very excited! And I can't wait to see what is in store for this Momma....

{Falling Off} Means getting back up again....

I was all like "YEAH! I'm gonna do this. This year I will be a Supa'Star Blogger and Blog everyday and post pictures every day!" then I was all like, "Yeah, I got to go back to work, I am super tired and I don't feel like posting today!" {Whoa!}

Ha.

Well, I have fallen off the whole 365 project for about a week or so but you know what, that's OK, there is no "Blogger-Police" who is gonna give me a huge Blogger-Ticket cause I have not been keeping up with my non-New Years Resolution list. If there is, don't tell him/her where I am! Ha.

There is beauty in falling flat on your face. {Yes, I said it. I am Human. I make mistakes but...} There is no affect or effect on others, only on yourself. And, you know what? All you can do is get back up again...literally dust yourself off and keep moving FORWARD. How sad would it be if I fell on my face and remained there? I mean. How heartbreaking for me. How disappointing for me. The best thing about starting a new year is being a new you. I am done with dwelling on things, situations, people, me, everything. I am moving on.

Well after that little heart wrenching moment, let me continue with this.

I have some small projects this week...

• I have Photoshop on my computer. I have never used it. {Now is when you can yell at me.} I need to learn how to use it. So, this week I will do as much research as need be to learn. 

• I am also on a mission to print pictures, book a Birthday session for Cami's {First Birthday portraits!} and get pictures framed. We shall see how that goes! 

• There is LOTS brewing in the Gomez household most of which I wish to keep to myself... {No, I am not pregnant...but we have been talking about Numero TRES a lot, but future...future... } I am just constantly praying for God to give us guidance and peace in all of our choices in 2012. 

• I have started to plan Cami's first birthday and praying about Ricardo's graduation party. Fun. Fun. 

I have gotten, I think, a lot of my chest in the last few weeks..mostly in talking to my Sister and my Hubby.... this weekend with my Sis-in-Law and a few good friends.. I think peace will be achievable in 2012. Finally.

Well Happy Monday to All!

Dirty Laundry.

I woke up at 5 am today. My son had a fever.{My "Momma least favorite moment" for today. I think it's a virus..his fever is accompanied by a clear runny nose and dry cough....we are in Houston..it could be allergies..} I got out of bed, took care  of him and then went on to try and start my day.

First couple of Momma duties:

#1 Get clothes out of the dryer.
#2 Get whites out of the washer and into the dryer.

As I was pulling out all of my clean and fluffy laundry, I realized how much I dislike folding baskets full of clean clothes. I don't mind gathering, sorting and washing. It's the once they are clean  and dry, getting them out of the dryer and into the basket to fold, hang and distribute part that really gets me.

This morning as I pulled my clothes out of the dryer I thought; why can't everything just be placed on hangers? Or better yet! {My "Momma ah-ha moment" of the day} Why can't the Folding Fairy come through at night and fold and put away all my clean clothes for me?! I'd like that better than 50 cents under my pillow for a loose tooth...any day... well...now probably not so much when I was 6. {Ha.}

I'm just sayin'

It's Momma Pet Peeve # 101~ Folding and putting away laundry! 

What's your pet peeve?

And, if you LOVE folding and putting clothes away...You are more than welcome to come over to Team Gomez's home and give Momma a HUGE helping hand! {Ha.}
