Sunday Mornings!

There is really NO other way to describe Sundays in our house except CRAZY! Every Sunday Jose is off to church for set up before any soul in our house is awake! That means, I have to get every one ready by myself! Usually, everyone wakes up at the same time (which makes it even crazier)! So, while I hold Moses in one arm with a bottle, I use the other arm to get Joseph's breakfast and the kids milk! After baby is finished with his bottle, he gets some TLC from the Rainforest Swing (his other mother)! I put Joseph down from the highchair so he can create chaos all over the bottom floor! (Oh yeah, and I yell at Joseph every 5 min. for stealing Moses' passy!) During this time I try to feed the older 2 and myself! When we are done eating, I put Joseph down for an early nap and pray Moses stays asleep long enough for me to take a shower and not go to church looking like a grease ball with BO! After I get my self somewhat put together, it's the kids turn! I pick out all the clothes, throw them over the balcony and YELL "KIDS HURRY UP! WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE! GET DRESSED NOW!!" I hurry downstairs and become a drill sergeant trying to get them to focus on changing their clothes. PJs eventually fly off and are scattered all around! I don't worry too much b/c I hate being late! I get the babies dressed and pack the diaper bag (which is seriously a 20 min. chore making sure I have EVERYTHING a 3 month old could possibly need in a 4 hour period of time!) I turn on the car to cool off, praying no one takes it, but think if someone does it's God's fault if he allows a thief to steal my van when I'm trying to go to church! (Quick side note: Did you know in Meck Co you can't leave your car on more than 5 min. or you can get a ticket?! We actually had a cop in our neighborhood give us a "warning" during the winter time!) FINALLY, we are ready to bolt, leaving our house in complete disarray! But hey, at least we make it to church on time to hear a great message! We just finished a great series called FAITHOLOGY discussing other religions! Very thought provoking! Click on the link then click watch if you want to see!

What are you capable of??

We just completed a great marriage series at church! Get the podcast if you missed it. Pastor Naeem (www.mosaicchurch.tv), quoted Rick Warren (pastor and the author of The Purpose Driven Life) saying "Given the right circumstances I am capable of doing anything." That statement resonated with my heart! How many times have I looked into others lives and said "I would NEVER do that." or "I can't believe they did that to their wife (or husband)," not knowing their circumstances. Judging from the outside is super easy! We are ALL human and fall short and because of our sinful nature we are capable of making bad choices that could have everlasting consequences! I think the moment we think we are "above" the unthinkable we become vulnerable to just that thing. I pray the Lord daily reminds me of my "humanness"!

Easter

Easter at Mosaic was very powerful yesterday! What a day to celebrate! Every year I'm reminded of how great and awesome JESUS is! But, to know that this sacrifice was made out of unexplainable LOVE for all of us is mind blowing! There is NO GREATER love!

"On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering abou this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, 'Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has RISEN!'" Luke 24:1-5
