Yuckyness

Yuckyness- do you ever have it? That feeling after you've compared yourself to someone else? Or been envious of something some has or does? I struggle with it. I never did til I was in my late 20's. That yucky feeling. It isn't a fun one and it's one I really try to get rid of pretty fast because if I let it stick around, it later turns to bitterness, complaining, and unhappiness.    My best go to is a list of verses that I have in the subject- because let's be honest- Gods word is the only cure. It's the only cure for any yucky sin that one struggles with.  

  Jason and I bought these handy little note card holders a while back and I've been filling  them with verses that I can carry with me in my purse. When I am struggling in the car or in the store or anywhere- I just grab it out and look up the verses that speak right to my issue!

 I resuntly was reading verses that said envy and bitterness can literally ROT the soul! It's serious business people! For sure something to address and take care of.  

Here is a verse that's been really great for me right now!

"No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but He will also provide to way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." 1 cor. 10:13 

  Praise The Lord for that! He will provide a way out of my temptation to envy or be bitter! I truely believe it's through his word and prayer!

    The other conclusion that I have come to is this: there is always gonna be someone better at things than you, prettier than you, skinnier than you, richer than you, more artistic than you( and in my case that is everyone - bwhahah), nicer than you, more liked than you, funnier than you, more giving than you, someone who had way better budgeting skills, ect, ect, and ect! And basically that's what makes us all so unique and allows us all to offer our own amazing talents !  I just wanna be the best me that I can be and that's enough :) Its good to be me❤️

I want candy

 Our house is stocked with candy right now- and though most of you think this is a bad thing- I think it is quite wonderful. I totally believe in a little bribing with my kids and it's pretty amazing what they will do for a snack sized snickers bar;) 

Thankfully, I don't have a major sweet tooth - so the candy is safe for continued bribing, probably til Christmas! I may have to hide it from Jason though! 

 Pey chose to be a cat for the 4th time . Logan is a zombie football prayer "all star" from one of his favorite games.

The Nazarene church had a little carnival- Pey was able to have some teenage gals fix her mom's lame cat face;) We loved the final product. So cute!

Logan may go as his uncle MJ next year :) 

 Happy November all!

Sleep- where art thou

Sleep  - precious sleep. It's a thing that I haven't had much of the last 6 years. The funny thing about sleep is, it's one thing your body just doesn't get use to. It's  not like running or dieting- where you can train yourself to do or not do something . You need sleep and it's a huge factor in your - *cough* MY day.  This last week had been bad, and last night was the worst . 

  I found this quote a while back on Pintrest and I just love it and it helps me get through those nights and the days after. 

   "You are my favorite reason to lose sleep over." 

 So as my daughter calls my name at night, my hubbies alarm goes off at 3:50 am for work, and my little guy wakes up to go potty and turns the bathroom light on which then blares in my room- I think of this and try and pray for my attitude . They really are so worth it.  And more reminders to be thankful - right?;) 

 Here is a little from our week so far:

And this really cool quote that fits in my life right now!

A little bit of my heritage

I finally found them!! These precious little homemade scripture signs that my grandmother made so long ago. I grew up reading these all along her laundryroom closet. Little did I know how precious these were to her and would one day be to me. My Grandma June could sit and share her life with just about anyone and it would most likely start with coming to Christ in her 20's and finish off with her telling you how she built and designed her home that she currently lives in, so that it has a big open space for a big round table- just so she can host bible studies 2 times a week. The lady just adores gods word and knows the power it has to change lives. And she loves teaching it!

  As an adult, I have learned to cherish his word, just as my grandma and parents have shown me my whole life. 

 I'm so thrilled to put these up in my home and have my kids grow up reading them everyday. What a precious godly heritage to have been passed on.

My grandma and grandpa Sousek- probably very close to the age they were married

FALL-ing all over.

   As my last post said, we have been busy. But a very good and fun kind of busy! Logan was able to join the youth tackle football team this year. So we have been traveling every Saturday to watch our little man play. He learned so much and will actually be receiving an award tonight! His team voted him "Most Improved." He is gonna be so pumped!

 Logan has worn his jersey to school 3 days this week because he is in mourning that the season is over. Little love. 

   Peyton decided to take Ballet this year. It is crazy what one year difference can make for a kid. She makes it through her entire school day and can finally add some activity after school as well! (still has to go to bed pretty early:) ) This has really been fun for Peyton. She is looking forward to Basketball in November.

Both kids had field trips to the Pumpkin Patch. I was able to tag a long with both of them. It is so neat to watch them interact with their classmates. Fun seeing them be the sweet little people that they are!

 Jason spoiled me and got me my new favoritest new sweatshirt. So far our Broncos are doing very well this season. Always fun being a Bronco:) Especially with Peyton Manning as our lead man!

My cleaning business is plenty busy but not so busy that I can't be home with my littles after school everyday and make time to go on field trips. I really feel my calling is being a wife and mom and adding anything else is always extra. So thank for the life the Lord has given me.
