Let's talk about God

So even with today being super long and I am tired.... I promise I could not make this up! Tonight I was able to come home and cook the kids dinner and spend some time with them. You really never know what will happen during the evenings. I had one go to bed at 7:15 p.m. (On his own) I had a little one who really wanted to play with my hair then another who wanted to talk about God.... I let them start playing with my hair and Miss A starts her story about God and Jesus. 

Miss A-God has white panties on and was caring the cross. He had nails on his feet and hands. Then he had blood then stayed on the cross forever. But he closed his eyes and said something. 

Me- Are you talking about Jesus?

Miss- A- Yeah he stayed on the cross then he got a life and was able to open his eyes. Then he walked to God. But God was wearing his own panties. 

As I am trying not to laugh Miss Z says "well I really hope his panties were pink because white is not okay." Kid logic is my favorite! If you need free entertainment come spend an evening with me and my kids!! Thank you for reading! I hope everyone had a wonderful Wednesday! 

Living my life to the fullest!

A few weeks ago I was talking to a friend and she made the comment "What doesn't Kelsey do?" The more I thought about it I realized that I’m not afraid to try something at least once. (Well within reason) My parents have always told me to live my life to the fullest, don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone, and make sure you are happy with who you are. 

There have been times that I wasn't happy with where I was in my life. I have made poor decisions and I have push people out of my life. I have learned that everything I have been through (Good and Bad) has made me who I am. 

I have learned that I want to live my life through God's will! When it comes to the end of my life I want to be able to look back and say, "I lived!" Recently I have been asked, ”you have so much life to live, so why adopt now?” I want to adopt now because I have so much life to live. I have heard a song a few times on the radio, but yesterday when I heard it, I truly listened.  It’s called “I lived” by OneRepublic.

The line “I hope you fall in love and it hurts so bad” means so much to me. I never realized that falling in love would hurt so bad but be worth ever once of pain. My kiddos that I am adopting mean everything to me. I plan on raising them to trust God, take chances and to be able to say, “I did it all.” I want to teach them that thing will happen in life but that doesn’t mean you stop living your life.

For some of you who do not know I have epilepsy. This has placed some trials in my life but it also opened my eyes. I want to be able to own every second that this world can give me. I know that I have a calling to love and cherish these kiddos. The best thing I can tell people is, “Believe and Trust.” I believe in our Lord and Savoir and trust that he has the best plan possible for my life. I encourage everyone to do the same.

Don’t be afraid to try new things or open up your heart. Like I said in the beginning of this post I haven’t always made the best choices but I wasn’t afraid to try new things.

Here are a few fun random things I have tried:

·      I have help raised a baby calf

·      Been a lifeguard

·      Gave voice lessons

·      Made an album

·      Volunteered at Pets&People

·      Auditioned for a movie

·      Won an ax throwing completion

·      Foster children

These are just a few fun things on my list that I can tell my kids “I did it all.” I would love to hear things that are on your list! Please share in the comments!
