I am elated that today is Friday!

Whoop Whoop
Now, lets take a moment to laugh!

Seriously though, or is this just me?

Haha, I am so privileged to say that I have done this. =)

Sorry random stranger, whoever you are.

Now this just cracks me up.

Who else is so excited that next Thursday is the first day of Spring?!
We are! But who am I kidding, I live In CO where it could snow mid May and no one would be surprised. Lol

Happy Friday friends.
Have a beautiful weekend

learning not to worry

As a mom I find myself worrying a lot more than I used to, and I'm sure you other mama's out there can relate. I never want my child to deal with heartbreak, physical pain, emotional trials or anything else. I want her to be happy all her days. Now, if I am being realistic I know that will never happen. I know that in this world I have experienced difficulties and Katie will too. All I can do is be the best mommy she needs and pray every single day that I can somehow meet those demands.
Being a good mommy to her is very important to me.
Jesus is revealing to me more and more that I don't need to spend my time stressing over what may be or what could be and instead focus on the now, what is and what I can do in the future. Any worries or stress I find piling up on me, He is more then willing to take. He already offered. 

Matthew 11:28-30
He promised to give us rest.
I find peace in that because I know how stressed I can become when I start to think about the future and not daydream. Life can be rough and tough sometimes but it can be absolutely beautiful too. From one mom to another, when you find yourself worrying about tomorrow stop and pray. Pray to have clarity of thought, be diligent in your plan making and patience to deal with what's ahead and then give the rest to Him.
And He will give us rest in return.

best snuggles ever

Update
I am still being pruned daily but I can say proudly that I am not having as many selfish, rude thoughts as I had been in the past. Jesus is teaching me more every day on how to be grateful and kind hearted. It excites me because I know I can help teach these things to Katie better when He is teaching me. =)
If you missed my last post about what was new between God and I read about it here.

Once again, How can I pray for you this week?

High five, we've made it to Wednesday! 

Weekend Recap: Sweet freedom!

This weekend started off pretty crazy. Friday night in and of itself was a disaster, anything and everything was unorganized and chaotic. It was a late night and just didn't go according to plan. So, we wont even open that can of worms, but one thing I will say about Friday night happened around 2am. So, while some of you may call us crazy we indeed still co sleep with out 16month old! Ahhhh! We're nuttso! Got it, moving on. Anyways, it was around 2am and Troy woke me up by saying "Megan, Megan, what is she doing?" my eyes pop open to find Katie just sitting straight up in the middle of the bed. I didn't know if anything wrong was really happening so I just grabbed her and laid back down. She was completely out. Like fully asleep and had been this entire time. Troy proceeded to tell me that she was crawling over his back and that he only woke up because he finally realized Katie was up to something, and it was not normal. So, all that that to say, if Troy hadn't have woken up we could have possibly woken up to a crying baby just laying on the floor. She could have been perfectly fine or she could have been hurt. Either way I wouldn't have been to thrilled and I doubt she would be either.  Now we venture into how to get Katie to start sleeping in a crib or make some way that she cant escape our bed. Plus lots of other things factor into this but, that's for another post. On toward Saturday!

Saturday
My Sister-in-law and her family came up for a weekend visit to run some errands and let cousins be cousins! My niece is 6 years old so she is all about helping with the "baby" and being the biggest cousin around. Katie had a blast playing with Lily and we were able to gather everyone excluding daddy to go out for a Target run. I was dying to get Katie some new shirts for Spring and they had the cutest ones on sale. I had to snatch em up!  After an hour of letting the girls run around the store Katie and I headed back home to put her down for a nap. After she woke up we spent a few minutes at the park only for the sky to grow dark and the sunshine to disappear.  We hit up a local BBQ spot for dinner with the grandparents and then plowed into bed around 10! 

You  may be wondering where dad was this whole time right?  Well,that's where the title sweet freedom comes in play. Troy was gone doing work all day Saturday until 9pm. I am so thrilled to say it will be the last Saturday in awhile that he had to be gone. I was starting to miss him so much on the weekends and Katie Belle was too. She is so fond of her
 "dat-ee". =)

(Losing an hour of sleep, really?)

Sunday

Church went great and Katie did an excellent job.  Lily came to help out in the nursery and to play with Katie. I think Troy and I had more fun with all the toys and gadgets then the kids did. ;) true parents huh. 

A  family friends mother had her 91st! Surprise birthday party at CB & Potts and we slammed some food and played pool and shuffleboard to celebrate. It was a grand time and Katie had lots of little friends to play with.  

(Cousin Lily went home.) Later we strolled on over to this huge park that is pretty close by and let Katie run free with a soccer ball.  Troy has started coaching again this season so Katie is getting a good taste of what "yawkie" is like. Ok side note, she calls socks "yawkies" because I have been calling them sockies. So you know, Soccer would make sense to be "yawkie" no? Look at how much fun she had.







How was your weekend?

Funny Friday

Who is ready for a nice, good laugh?
Here we go!

 I am a sucker for some
dry, stupid-funny humor. Ecards, jokes, movies you name it.
Troy took me to see the Lego movie on Valentines day and it was knee slapping funny! You guys have to go see it and make sure you keep an ear out for those hidden jokes and giggles =)
Dry humor her we come!

               These are all from Pinterest, feel free to follow me there at Megan Boyer.

As part of this Funny Friday category I want to add in some real life humor from my week.

Sharing something humorous that has happened around me personally.
To be honest, I can't think of anything hugely funny that has happened this week besides a few cute funny moments with my girl. 

They may make you giggle but I hope they at least make you smile like they did me.

So, yesterday after Katie had woken up from her afternoon nap (she didn't know I was standing at the foot of the bed) she proceeded to stretch and talk to herself calmly.
"Yeah.....(yawn)...yeah"
I popped my head up so she could see me and said "yeah!"
She stares straight at me and says "No".
Haha, it made my day.

This girl is my world.
She turned 16 months old on Wednesday.

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend filled with fun and laughter.
See y'all on Monday.

The bearing of fruit and pruning of branches

John 15:2

He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit,

while every branch that does bear fruit He prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.


Pruning of Branches...
During these last two weeks I have felt God nudging my heart.
Picking and pruning and leaving me with some serious thoughts to ponder.
If I am being honest, lately I find myself falling into this funk of an attitude. It's not that I'm being mean, rude, obnoxious or anything else... out loud anyways.
That's right, more times then not these rude comments are in my head.

Now, these thoughts are nothing to the extreme but...they are extreme to God and I know they are not of me, nor who I am in Christ.
Silly thoughts like "why do I have to..." or "maybe if you'd just..."
Selfishness...
I know.
God has been showing me though that when these thoughts are merely in my head they are soon to creep into my heart and spirit, they may even start slipping off my tongue.
I don't want any of that.
& that is where bearing fruit comes into play.


Bearing Fruit
Thank you Jesus! That you are always with us and working on us to help us grow.

I mean are we blessed or what?
This past Sunday at Church I was graced with being able to hear my Bishop of the IPHC, which my Church falls under, give a sermon about the
 Holy Spirit.
He asked the congregation a question that rocked my socks off.
"Who is the most important person in the world?" he asked us.
He explained how some people he asked on other occasions would say George Clooney, or Jesus! You're in Church, Jesus is always the right answer right?
Nope.
NOT Jesus folks..
Dun.Dun.Dun.
Want to know why?
Answer: Jesus is no longer on the earth!
He left us the Holy Spirit to guide and be with us until His return.
How stinking cool is that.

I am so thankful for the Holy Spirit and how he be a gentle whisper to our spirit and say "Hey,I love you. Check your heart, be calm in my presence and I will guide you." Just like the verse Psalms 46:10.
Amen to that.
I feel those branches falling off and while day to day it can be hard in certain situations to stay calm,cool and collected I know I can because of Him who gives me strength.
Pruning can be hard but I want to bear fruit for Him and His glory so it is well worth it. When I find myself being tempted to think or say something in my thoughts that I know is wrong I stop and Pray. It has been helping me a lot more than trying to take a deep breath and count to 10. One thing that is super cool about God, He knows when I am going to come to him frustrated at someone or something and he already has the extra grace I need. I just need to be ready to receive it.
He never fails us.
I will keep you updated on this pruning job.
I should be sprouting new branches every day.
=)

Prayer
Something I desperately want to offer my readers is someone to pray for them so, please leave a comment or email me with what I can be praying for this week.

Email info is in my bio.

Happy Hump Day!

A fresh start

I know it has been a good long while since I last posted and I could spit out every good excuse in the book but, I wont.
I want to turn over a new leaf and start blogging consistently. Katie (baby Belle. For any new readers, her middle name is Annabelle a.k.a where Belle comes from)is going to be 16 months old this Wednesday and I just feel the importance of documenting this journey. No joke, everyday she is waking up doing or saying new things. I want to catch it all.

I have a plan for this blogging journey that is just a structure block to help me get adjusted.  

Monday: Weekend Recap.

Wednesday: Devotionals(whats new with me and God. How can I pray for you?)

Friday: Funny Friday! 

Fingers crossed that I will stick to this.

I feel empowered and ready to open this new chapter. I hope you will join me and enjoy the ride.

Welcome to this life of mine. =)

Weekend Recap

Friday night was quite the surprise because Troy and I were able to go on a date! That's right folks, a date. =)

Grandma Kathy watched Katie while we went to C.B & Potts for dinner. I highly recommend going if you've never been. It was delicious and considering I'm married to a P.E. teacher, I liked the fact that different sports were on all the large flat screens.
We came home around 8:30pm and Katie was more then happy to have us back.
We put her down for bed and popped in the movie Captain Phillips.
Beyond good ladies and gentlemen.
Saturday morning it was snowing once again here in CO (per the norm) and it was freezing cold. My sweet hubby went and got us some yummy Starbucks. Call me crazy because even on a ice cold Colorado day I want to enjoy an ice cold caramel Frapp with extra caramel in the cup and on top thank you very much. ;)
And that's exactly what I did. Proudly.
Troy is also the Athletic Director at his school so he has to attend A LOT of social events and games outside of normal school hours.
His Saturdays have been booked most of January-now, and we are missing him tons.
So, we spent Saturday as a mommy daughter day and hung out inside. A warm bath, a movie or two and some food. That's our motto.
Sunday we went to Church and heard an awesome sermon from a guest speaker, Bishop of the IPHC, Larry H.
His talk was on the Holy Spirit and how our Church's need more of Him! I couldn't agree more. It was a great talk but, more of that on Wednesday.
We grabbed a quick lunch with some friends and I took Katie home for a nap finally around 1 o'clock.
Later that night Troy whipped us up some homemade pizza (Which BTW he is the King of) and we watched the Oscars.
Time to start this week off right!
Hurray! I actually posted something.
=)
This fresh start feels good.
