Keeping Baby Safe

As a new mother I have realized the importance of keeping your child safe and guarded from all harm. You find yourself wondering if someone is out to get them, are all the doors locked, did they wander off to the other aisle and someone got them, etc, etc. I have also found that this is very normal for new parents. I assumed it would subside as the months went by. Well, it has a little, but just recently I heard something that makes me wonder again!!!! Late Night Talk Show host David Letterman has recently been in the news because someone who worked on his home decided they would kidnap his 16 month old child (same age as my daughter) and the child's nanny. This made me reflect and wonder. Here is a wealthy celebrity with all the money and protection he could afford and yet even still his little one insn't safe. We really need to be careful and make sure we protect these babies. I guess the only way to feel totally sure is to daily pray for that hedge of protection around our little ones. Keep them close and be careful who we allow into their little lives.

Friends, Fellowship and San Antonio

Well, it has been a few days and no posts. I know that this blog thing is new to me and I can't seem to stay on top of it yet. I guess it doesn't matter. This is my deal and I don't have anyone to answer to, right? We took a family trip to San Antonio Texas for my husand to lead music in a vesper service at Max Lucado's home church Oak Hills Church . Let me tell you the people at this church love the Lord and love each other. There was so much happiness and true Spirit around these people. I was touched at the realness that eminated from this group of people. There is such a love that is very evident and overflowing. It touched me to my soul and made me want to be a better person. I know that is is the Lord's light shining through them. Max's wife is such a gem. She prayed over us one night and the Holy Spirit was shining like a beacon from her soul. What a beautiful woman, inside and out. I met a lady named Cheryl that had to be the most gracious hostess ever. She was prepared for whatever request we had. I am displaying these feelings with such affection to say with all the love from my heart... "THANK YOU". Thanks to the church staff for taking care of us. Thanks to the Lucado's for inviting us, Thanks to the Green's for dinner and fellowship, and mostly thanks to the Lord for allowing me to meet the friendliest people in America! (by my vote- and here, it's the only one that matters.) My husband Mark has a great summary of Max's service on his blog

Got a question?

Get an answer at this most amazing website. I have found a place that truly knows it all. Try it out, for free!

I know I will award them with an amazing recipe (isn't that very "housewife" of me!) Have fun and be careful.

What's in a Title

Wondering why I would choose such a common title? The answer is twofold. I love TV and I love the show. That is the obvious. Secondly, I am a stay at home mom a.k.a housewife and most of the time I am deseperately seeking something. Time, energy, patience, organization, affirmation. But mainly I seek to be a super mom and amazing wife. I know in my life this and all other things will not surface unless I am desperate in my pursual of a relationship with Christ. There you have it. Understand now? Now I have included you all in this new blog thing. We'll see how it lasts. It has been strongly encouraged by my dear blogging husband who totally believes in it. Check him out at marklee.typepad.com. So this is pretty fun and maybe it will last if not- who cares! So you now have a little insight into me and my life. Who knows maybe we can strive to be better together?
