How I Almost Died at Old Navy....

Well....this past Sunday, I ran to Old Navy after apartment ministry to use a 30% off coupon that a friend of mine had let me have . I was so excited about my coupon that I didn't mind that everyone in the DFW area also had this coupon, and were all at the same Old Navy.

Anyways, there I am, checking out with one lady ahead of me and many behind, when I started to feel like I might be about to faint. Now, I am not a common fainter, but I was pretty sure that I would soon be hitting the ground. I started getting super hot, and I just knew that this was not normal over heating.

So...I get to the front of the line, and while the Old Navy worker is checking me out, I realize that if I don't act fast, I am going to hit the ground. So, I announce to him that I need to sit down, and I asked him if he had any water. Needless to say, I am being humbled at this point too.

The guy quickly advises me he'll go get me a water, but I'll need to give him $.75 cents. Of course, my life would be worth $.75 cents. Wanting to live more than I wanted to save a dollar, I gave him the money, and just sat on a bench while people watched the big pregnant lady.

Finally, the guy comes back, and let's me know that there is no water. I had to laugh that they were out of waters. I called Lee to see if he could come get me, but his phone was off. (And unfortunate for him, he would pay for it later)

To make my long story, short.....Praise Jesus...the fainting moment passed. So...I grabbed my 30% off new shirt and drove home. And I still plan to be a faithful shopper of Old Navy.

Luke is napping....

Mothering is one of those jobs that before you were there, you use to kindly say that it is a "full time" job, but you really didn't think so.....! Or at least maybe I didn't. I am sorry and I have repented. Mothering is a full time job! There is always something, and if it is not something that is happening that second, it is something that should be happening to help improve your child's welfare.
Do not get me wrong, I love Luke, and I am joyfully looking forward to Abel. And sickly, I want a big family. But that doesn't mean, I am not exhausted. That being said I wanted to share what the Lord has been showing me lately.

Galatians 5:1-It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery." Amen! The Lord has been kindly showing me how worrying about other's opinions and worrying about all the details of life is an unnecessary yoke. That the Lord is easy and light. The Lord has been showing me recently just to be. He will take care of the rest. I just need to be in Him, and He will do the rest. Trust Him. How peaceful!

I am grateful for this quiet moment to blog, and give God all the glory for peace. He is truly the only life giving outlet for it.
