A case of the Monday's... with a little hope

It's definitely Monday... just finished a whole post and went to add pics... blogger malfunctioned and never even saved it... AWESOME.
Here's a recap... simple and to the point... even though my other post was a lot more in depth and learned more.. I have to get my day started and will just do the bullets and post more about stuff later

-- Morning sickness seems to finally be subsiding... win!
-- Ceiling is leaking again.. fail!
Will def be posting more about this later

-- Finally pulled out my sewing machine and made Kaylee this cute dress.. from a pillow case... win!

And lastly, after a very stressful morning (by 8 am hubs was already on the verge of a heart attack) I opened my devotional for some time with God to read this:
"Life-giving Power
"This is my comfort in my affliction, for Your word has given me life." -Psalm 119:50

Sometimes life is difficult. We face many challenges and disappointments that we may find hard to accept. But fortunately we have a heavenly Father who cares deeply for us in every way. He has given us His Word to guide us and give us the wisdom to withstand any situation that life brings. We only have to open the Book of Life to find comfort that allows us to be all that God wants us to be for our benefit and His glory."

Isn't it amazing that He always knows exactly what we need to read and when it needs to happen. I emailed this to my hubs at work in hopes it would help lighten his day a little. I plan to refer back to this through out the day when I start to get frustrated.

It's Monday... and mine was off to a pretty rocky place but I am thankful for a God who sends comforts when I need them. Life is difficult and I am hoping I can stay light in spirit and positive through my difficult day.

Here's to hoping the same for you and hoping this was what you needed to read today too..

What's YOUR Song Link-Up 35!

I swear I was going to blog everyday this week.... of course that didn't happen though!

Man one of these days I will figure out a schedule for my life that really works..

Maybe in a few weeks when I hit my second trimester

and don't spend the majority of my life laying down or barfing.

Seriously though... I am so sick of being sick

I can see the light though...

I am just over  12 weeks...

and with Kaylee when I hit my second trimester I was a lot better

so cross your fingers friends!!

Along with the whole pregnancy thing...

I have been having the craziest cracked out dreams lately

no doubt it's pregnancy

because I had some crazy ones with Kaylee too

It's getting kind of insane though.

And they are the kind of dreams that like... never stop

where you wake up..

and go back to sleep

and they pick right back up

Last nights I don't entirely remember

except that it was really hard on me

and I woke up very freaked out at one point in the night

but the cool thing was... when I went back to sleep

"Held" by Natalie Grant started playing in my dreams like a CD on repeat

This is the chorus:

"This is what it means to be held

How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life

And you survive

This is what it is to be loved and to know

That the promise was that when everything fell

We'd be held"

So as you can guess.... this is the song I decided to link up for Goodnight Moon's Link-Up.

I had a different song planned out... a lot more fun and upbeat

But this morning when I woke up and thought about this song

I knew I had to post it!

Because He is holding me... always.

In my dreams, in my nightmares, in my everyday life,

in my trials, in my good days, and in my bad

I am held.

And that is so reassuring.

You can listen to my song here

And be sure to head on over to Amber's page at Goodnight Moon to check out the other songs people linked up

Have a Blessed Day
