First Day of School- First Grade 2014-2015

Image
By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!

My little girl is not so little any more!   This almost 7 year old is in first grade, she is reading, doing her homework on the bus, and about to loose her two front teeth!  She enjoys playing with her brother, pink, Frozen, singing, church, playing with hair, and playing outside.   She always shows JOY and she always knows when to pray for others.  

I know she loves school and she loves getting older but I am having a hard time seeing her grow up and mature so quickly.   Yes, this will be one of those mushy gooshy mom posts.   I write these posts because I know one day she will enjoy reading about my thoughts and hearing me SAY I LOVE YOU SELAH!!  

We walked into her school to meet her teacher and immediately I wanted to run away and say no summer can't be over yet.   I need more time with my daughter!  Yet, my fear and selfishness was put to the wayside when I saw her excitement to meet her teacher and to go back to school.  You see I only want to protect you from this world, a world where their is pain and hurt.   I know God is telling me to let go and trust him so that is what I do each an every day.   I pray each day for you sweetie!  I pray you will continue to grow deeper in love with Jesus and I pray that you will experience HIS love each and every day.  One of the things I have realized this year is to not take for granted any minute- to stay off my phone or computer and really enjoy every minute with my children- LORD keep holding me to that!  

Dear Selah,

You have been one of the best surprises ever!   Daddy and I didn't even know you were in mommy's belly for a few weeks.   Once we found out though our hearts fell in love with you!   

The day you arrived was scary but thrilling because being a parent is the best privilege but also one of the scariest things at the same time.  

As you went from infant to toddler to preschooler to now first grader it is clear to see God has given you many gifts.   He has made you easy to get along with, He has given you a heart of compassion, He has given you a desire to sing and worship Him,   He has given you boldness to tell people about Him!  He has made you beautiful inside and out!  

I know you were fearfully and wonderfully made and I know you were made on purpose for a purpose with a purpose!   

So little first grader my prayer is that I protect you and keep you away from junk of this world.  I pray you would feel safe every day of your life and I pray that our relationship would continue to grow.   I pray for wisdom and knowledge for each and every situation you face, always ask yourself what would Jesus do in this situation before worrying about what the world does!  

Selah this year you will make a difference in your school but also our church and family!   We love you and we need you! 

To a wonderful first grade year!   

Love you more and more,

Mommy

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...

Win some Sweet Andy's Cookies

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
A big thank you to Andy who sent me some amazing cookies to try to conduct my review.  :)  All opinions expressed are 100 % mine and I was not paid for this review.   About Sweet Andy's Cookies: The “Thank You” Cookie In 2009, Andrew (Sweet Andy) found himself in a position like so many others at that time in our past; the economy was quickly spiraling downward and he had left his job in the financial services industry. Although Andy had an MBA in Banking and Finance and had even written a book entitled, “A Guide to Taking Control of Your Investments”, he found himself to be disenchanted with the financial industry and left to pursue “other work.”  The “other work” that Andrew pursued was with the Church and did not provide financial support for the family.  During this time Andy and his wife, Lissa, struggled to find other forms of income. They did what they could for themselves and their five children but often it was not enough. But there were...
