HOW DO YOU........

Okay.... I am officially computer technologically "slow". I have found a template for this blog I have been trying and trying to add but for the life of me I can't get it to work. SOOOOO frustrating. Hopefully soon I will have that epiphany moment and you'll see the fruits of my labor. I had to make a Green Bay Packer cake today.... yeah... it hurt. It was made easier by our romp on them last week (tee hee hee). It was for a coworker.... so ya know. It was worth it. I have a really neat one I am challenging myself to do for Sunday. I'll post pics later. With all the chaos of cakes and life going on, it's great to know that God can still be heard through it all. Like a quiet whisper... he gently affirms, redirects, and shows his glory. My family. He speaks to me through them and I am so thankful for them. I can tell when he is telling me my focus is no longer on what he wants because he gently stears me the right way by having my son sweatly and lovingly "need" me to do things with and be with him, or have my husband make me slow down to rub his back aches away, or have him bring up a great bible discussion. I LOVE IT! It used to annoy me and I was totally oblivious to the sound of his voice, but I'm getting better at listening and submitting. Today I spent all day working on this cake, then it was nap time and Jaden was upset b/c he didn't get his "mommy and me" time. He didn't want to nap, but 2 hrs later I was ready. I kept telling him to go lay down and felt myself getting impatient....... then I heard it. It said, " I love you with all my heart mommy. I hope you make sweet dreams so when we wake up we can play." Yeah it was Jaden, but in the same moment it was God. Jaden really needed me, God was telling me I had spent too much time that day with my family on the back burner and it that it wouldn't hurt, even in nap time, to spend some quality time with Jaden. Daddy joined us and I tell you...... pillow talk is some of the best time to share as a family. That is just about the only time Jaden isn't in Character mode as "Anikan Skywalker", "Luke Skywalker", "Kitty Cat", "Optimus Prime". He is just Jaden. My precious baby boy who sees and interprets the world through such amazing eyes. Eyes I have long forgotten. It is uplifting and it truely touches my heart to "dream" outloud with him. His prayers are beautiful. I am so thankful God intrusted him to Joe and I. He makes me want to be a better wife, mom and person. Haaaa.... even now at 12:27 am..... Jaden just burst the living room door open walking like a robot half asleep saying he needed "booger help". After each attempt with the toilet paper he looks up at me sweetly and says, "Momma, I love you with all my heart." God's love is everywhere. I pray we all have the eyes and ears to see and hear it. God bless.
