Crazy love

Heavenly Father, thank You for your grace. Your forgiveness is SO good that I struggle with believing it at times. Thank you for rescuing me from myself and giving me Your Holy Spirit. Your love is better than life... This is just a mere glimpse into the book Crazy love by Francis Chan.

So I bought this book 2 new years ago!!! Brandon and I always read books as part of new years resolutions it seems! Shortly after I bought this book I found out I was pregnant. So for the next 9 months I pretty much just ate, slept and threw up! Then after that I had a new born so it's safe to say I never got around to reading it. B did and he loved it!! So I am reading it now. One chapter in and I already felt changes needed to be made!

I think part of having to waiting so long to have Hudson has made me more of a "clingy mom". I pretty much put a lot of my "wants" on the back burner because I just want to hold him, feed him or pretty much just watch him drool! Lol Kinley to, practice, game, school activity-I'm there! I just don't want to miss out. But Sunday night I decided I was having some me time. Filled our jacuzzi tub (that has not been used since before I was pregnant!) and grabbed this book and just relaxed for awhile- it was so nice!!! Made me realize I need to do the little things like that more often, makes me happy. And we all know: happy wife, happy life:) so that is another little resolution of mine is just to carve a little time out of the day for me:)

  1. I need to read this one! And I love the "Me" time idea! My "me" time is when I get to workout. It's just me and my treadmill - and believe it or not, I love it!

  2. I read that book 2 or 3 years ago. I think I forgot how good it was!! Probably something I should read again :)
