is there anything sexual about a ice cream cone? i didn't think so either.

I grew up a pretty scared little kid. Not of everyone. Mostly men. I had some unfortunate things happen to me, in my life that no one should have to go through…which I have since been healed of…none the less, I remember growing up being afraid….and having a hard time trusting. I eventually went to college where it was brought to my attention that about 75% of my girlfriends had walked through the same “tainted” past as a child…which both relieved me and sickened me.

God was so gracious to me bringing these people into my life because it was them that helped to bring the proper healing that I needed in my life. And that it was…I walked away in freedom.

However…

…When I was pregnant, I was watching one of those “to catch a predator” shows. And I remember crying because it was brought to my attention throughout the show that it isn’t just little girls anymore that these creepo’s are after. I remember crying and holding by belly and just apologizing to by unborn boys for bringing them into such a sick and perverted world. After I gathered myself together…I realized that I just needed to pray over them a lot…especially over their minds. That God keep their minds and little bodies protected from these sicko’s….

I think about how different the world is even now from when I was in highschool…and I’m only 31. I cant imagine what it will be in 10 more yrs.

I know it’s getting bad when they can sexualize a dairy queen commercial….or a Pictionary commercial. Ya know…Pictionary, the game…what’s sexual about that? Isn’t that the thing that is supposed to be bringing families together on a Friday Family Game Night?

And we wonder where we are headed….
Thanx for the venting post.

halloween....a tricky "holiday" for me.

I love to see the kids get dressed up....

those blue eyes....

i knew that i would eventually get a child with a temperment like mine..i just never imagined i would get him with big blue eyes. He is the one who physically loves on me the most..but also challenges me in every way. if he is told no...not only does he still do it...but he does it looking at you and smiling....hoping that those big blue eyes will make you forget everything you have said to him. and

unfortunately..he has succeeded at times.

i dont want him to be 5!

i didn't realize that when my first born turned 5 that i would be in such rebellion. i just want him to stop getting older...that's all.

i feel like he is almost not a kid anymore but instead a little man. some of the things he says kill me. he's very intellectual. the other day he told us that we needed to stop and get him some pizza cause God told him to have pizza. he explained that he wasn't ACTUALLY spoken to...but in his heart he was.

i know that every parent thinks that their kid says the funniest things...and is the most clever...but mine really is.

"what? we have to be out of this room by 10? vacation's over already?"

these are my beach bums...

this was the year for vacation with my family.we go to ocean city every other year with my parents and sister and her hub. it was a much needed vacation....and certainly not long enough. i wouldn't say that it was as relaxing as i would have liked it to be...but the day i had 2 babies at once...i knew my days of "relaxing" were put to a halt. and that's okay...my day will come when i go back to bon-bon's and "the stories."
