Blessed Sunday......



This was what I had planned to start yesterday but  a good book got in the way.  So today I am writing the post I hope to continue every Sunday. 

So many times I get stuck in the what is wrong with my life way of thinking and as the Bible says we are to focus on what is true and what is lovely.....I know I paraphrased and didn't supply the scripture...but it is in there :)  This weekly post is to focus on what is blessed in my life.  I am doing this every day in my journal but I doubt you would be interested in a daily entry on the Krabel family (however, we are quite entertaining!).

Most importantly, I am blessed with an amazing husband.  I am loved unconditionally, Praise the Lord.  It is probably hard to believe, but I have A LOT of flaws!! We have been together for 14 years now, married for 13 1/2, and I don't know what I would have done without him.  He has been there through the loss of  two grandmothers, the loss of my mom and her battle with cancer, the unexpected death of my dad, the loss of my brother and his battle with cancer, as well as all the emotions that come with those.  He has dealt with lots of my hormone roller coasters due to being a woman and being pregnant  a lot those first years of marriage! He is a great Dad!! and although I know he would have enjoyed a son, he would not trade a single one of his girls to have one.  Consequently, my girls have bailed hay, buried a dead cow, watched the birth of a calf, bottle feed some baby calves, and a host of other things that being part of a farm family has brought.  Madi especially loves the sale barn and spending the day working with her Dad.   

Yes friends,  I am blessed.  Thank you Jesus for seeing what I needed and giving me what I wanted....a wonderful husband..... I love you Doug!!!

Currently

I saw this on another blog and thought it would be a fun way to start my adventure in blogging and give a spring board for what to write about.....

Currently I am LOVING that I still have almost a week off of work.  I love being home and relaxing with my family.  We have watched a lot of Duck Dynasty which we had never seen until I bought Doug the first season DVD for Christmas, I have read a few books (yes, a few already), and I am loving not having to wake up to an alarm clock and not being stressed if I wake up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep.   I am thinking I need to accomplish some more productive feats though before returning to work next Wednesday. 

Technology wise I have come a long way and I must say I am hooked.  Today while waiting for Doug at the doctor (stitches in knee removed, then other doctor for virus)  I was using my Kindle Fire and texting on my smart phone....who would have thought that I would ever be so connected!  I still need Katie to help me with this blog, and I have decided that I soooo want an IPHONE.

Random Act of Kindness (RAK)?  I love when I see those sticky notes on mirrors reminding me that Jesus Loves Me, or that I am beautiful......I want to do that for someone else.  Completely goofy but it makes my day :)
