This something that has come up in the last couple of days. No matter who says I cant do something when I feel God is telling me to do it. I wont listen, I dont care what people think about how I worship and praise God and what is acceptable and not acceptable. If God says worship me this way or I feel the need to get a little lively then I will. I want to praise and honor God with everything that is with in me, not just become part of the church pew or seats. We say we are different from regular churches or traditional churches, but we still condem in nicer more loving ways.
God whatever you want me to be, I'll be for you and no one else but you.

Can you Juggle?
I have asked my self this question in the last couple of weeks. I feel like I am juggling everything in my life. My kids, husband, friends, church, house hold chores, and entertainment. I am sure that there are many things I can name that I feel are on that list. I am forced to learn how to be a juggler. I must manage my time, money, and talents. It must be effective when I do it. I must do it with all my heart. I find my self wanting to do more with church and helping others. Its hard when you havent learned the best way to time management. Sometimes I think that God does want us to learn to take care of families with all our hearts first before we can be effective in leading and helping others. If we cant take care of our families or learn to love them for who they are then how can we be the most effective in helping others see the love of God in us. So I have been trying to master the love of my family, which I think means my husband and kids. Then outside that is the other part of the family. So i have to master being the best wife and mother before I can be anything else. I was told by someone that I have been mean lately. It hurt me because I dont think that at all. Its just I am soly focused on taking care of my husband and kids and I am learning how to be the most effective with that. So its hard to focuse on anything else right now, because I feel that is where God has brought me this last past year.
So how well are you juggling your life circumstances?

All Natural Birth Experience!
WOW! That's all I can say for having experienced my second living child all Naturalllllllll. Having one son who is now 4 and then suffering 2 miscarriages both under extreme stressful situations and never having a D&C for those 2. And feeling every painful moment of those miscarriages which pretty much was labor pains.
I was almost 38 weeks along with this one. I was getting so big and miserable and never got any sleep. I had been sick for a couple of weeks with coughes, congestion, runny noses, and eye gunk. I was so ready for this child to come and for us to meet him for the first time. But nothing was happening, not even one contraction. Definately getting fustrated and more and more tired. I had been like 2 CM for 5 weeks. I was just so ready.

Well I read that eating Pineapple was a good way to start labor because it softens your cervix but it only works when you are pretty much ready to go. So i bought a big pineapple and ate it, it did give me some contractions but not labor, so I ate more pineapple the next day.
When I woke up on January 31st I had a pretty good contraction at 6am but no more followed for several minuites, probably like 30 to 40 min. As the day went on I went to Chick fil a like usual and then I walked around the mall once. I started to feel really tired and drained and just had no more energy. So I went home and by 11 am I started having the contractions about 15 min apart. Then a couple hours later it was like 10 min apart. They started to get more and more severe. But I knew that I didnt want to go in too early and sit all day in the hospital and wait and wait and wait. So I messaged my husband and let him know that they werent ending. I cleaned the house and did some chores, all the while contracting. Finally about 2:40pm I told my husband that I wanted him to come home because they werent stoping. So my parents came and picked up my older son(they lived 30 min away) So in the mean time from waitng till my husband came home, my dad getting my son, and us driving to the hospital it was like about 5:50pm. I walked from the car to the labor unit and was in extreme pain. The contractions had gotten so severe that I wanted to have meds. My mind was siked out but the pain and I just wanted to die. Well little did I know when the nurse checked me in the triage labor unit So was shocked to find that I was fully ready to deliver at any moment. The head was there and I was ready. Seemed like they all went into adrenaline mode and started rushing around and trying to get a room and such. When I was in the room It was 6 pm. They tried to start an IV like 4 times and finally got it on the 5 try. But by that time it was too late to get any meds at all. So when the Dr came in I was ready to push. To say the least there was no time to build up my pushing and I had to push with all I had from the get go. Craziness I tell ya. With in 5 hard pushes and feeling like I was in the world series or the super bowl fixing to make the winning touchdown or run. Everyone was encouraging and cheering me on. I grunted and probably made a couple of screams and finally the baby head was out, his sholders felt hugh and I didnt think I could push him out. But I did and he was 7 lb 7 ounces. Baby Boy. Ryder Francisco Garcia finally entered the world. It was over! and thank God the contractions were gone.
I have been told by my former marine husband that Pain is weakness leaving the body, but after that I just felt plain week. everyone thinks I am awesome but all I felt was tired and just wanted to sleep. But I did have the control over my body. So if you need meds, get them. If you think you want to do it natural then try it but leave the option for meds.
God made our bodys so awesome and that I can hardly believe that he lived inside me for Nine months. It just seems unbelieveable. God is good.
