What i get to wake up too
Three years ago….

5Am Club
My older sister Jessica, such a dear sweet thing, she's the kind of gal that when she is convicted about something in her life, she wants everyone else connected to feel the stab of conviction as well. ..good on ya mate! (I love ya Jess) She read this book, sorry i dont remember the name and i'm to lazy to stand up walk into the living room and look. The jist of the book is becoming the woman that God wants us to be as Mothers and wives. Starting with waking up at the butt crack of dawn so we can start out day with our Lord, praying and reading the word. Which is so very important as a wife and especially a Mother, that we squeeze that time in. I am in a different category of parent hood than Jessica at this moment. Let me tell you all a little about my dear sweet older sister for those of you who have not had the privilege of making her acquaintance. She is older than me by 3 years, if you know how old i am then you will know how old she is. She has been married to Brian for 10 years or is it 11..hehe i cant remember. She is a mother to FIVE beautiful children whom i adore. Kallista - 10 Korban - 8 Kaydence - 3 Khloe - 2 Kohen - 9months Sorry jess if i butchered all the spellings of their names, i never can remember the middle 2 Not only is she a wonderful mother to them, but she home schools them as well, has a dog, 2 cats 2 horses,fish and multiple chickens...oh and a garden! SUPER MOM So now that you know a little history on her you can understand how we are a little bit different in the stages of mothering. I on the other hand only have 3 kids, i send my kids to public school ( im surprised my family even speaks to me) i think i might have her beat on the animal part, soon to be more (hehe) i cant let the secret out yet, not until it is complete, but hopefully we will be added some new pets to our growing family farm. So anyways.... Jessica read this book, got convicted about not waking up early so decides to give it to me to read...so i feel guilty...Nice huh? what are sisters for Its a good thing though, i already was starting to feel the tug that i needed to be doing this, especially since Lennon will be starting Kindergarten in one week and i need to be getting up, and spending time with God before i send those kids off to school. I'm in it TWO days, but so far so good This morning i got up at 5:40am...i did yard work today so i was really tired, so i snuck in a little nap...i don't think they discouraged naps The differance between sister and me is that she still gets up 3 or more times to nurse a fatty mcgee boy...and me well i have no excuse so if she gets up at 6 or even 7 i think thats huge... When adia was little and i was pregnant with lennon, Rudy would kiss me goodbye at 8am when he left for work...adia and i would be sleeping... and when he got home at 2pm we were usually right were he left us, not that we stayed in bed all day, but at least to 11am, but by 2pm we needed a nap....i think i might have slept half my childrens lives away. This is such a good change for me...THANK you jessica for sharing i appreciate it... Ya want me to call you in the morning at 5:30am???? Here is to many more early mornings in the Korv household
I hope he reads this
This post might seem a bit repetitive,
I know i have wrote on the subject before
but i feel i cannot stress it enough, So bare with me.
A girl spends the majority of her
first years dreaming, longing, wishing, praying
and counting down
the days till she finds her 'Prince Charming'
There are those times we 'Think' we found 'Him' but in fact we found
the 'devil' instead
and if it were not for amazing parents and sisters,
might have ended up
spending the rest of our lives living with
the consequences of making the wrong choice. and
knowing that you married the wrong man.
Isn't God good that He saves us from that if we would only
listen.
How Very Good God is to ME!!!!
I was talking with my husband the other day, about how not every guy is as sweet and caring as he is... He wondered why all the girls he dated never seemed to 'see' that attribute in him I told him, God blinded their eyes...cause He knew they were not the 'ONE' for him... But I was! sweet beautiful ME I know this may seem silly to most of you, but i really believe this to be true.
We are soul mates, through and through
He has helped me to grow,
and without me, he would not be where he is today
We may not always see eye to eye
Or understand one another
But my love for him goes deep
Deeper than i thought possible
Does everyone feel like we do?
I Wonder?
Time will make it only grow stronger
Be still my beating heart…
Forever my love, will i always be yours…Forever
will my heart be connected, entwined …forever
I will love you, always I will need you, Myself i give to you.
Still unable,
every time i catch a glimpse of a photo of my dear sweet brother
the tears fall….i can’t stop
i feel like i wasted time,
lost out
i feel robbed.
i know without a shadow of a doubt
he’s in heaven with Jesus,
but it doesn’t stop me
from shedding the tears
feeling the pain
mourning my loss
Thank you Jesus for every day
i have with the ones i love…
i will never take for granted every
precious moment i spend
with my children, husband,
mother, father, sisters, brothers
friends.
