Prayer Journal

I thought this was too cute not to post!  It isn't a great photo b/c it was taken with a phone. I'm so glad Murphy is so good with Boston!

After reading this story I have decided I really want to start a prayer journal.  I am usually terrible about following through on ideas like this.  But I have been surprised at how I have followed through with this whole blog journey. When I started this blog I never realized what a new perspective it would add to my life or the amazing people and stories I would learn about.  I am almost obsessed with reading about others and their life stories and I want people to know about ours. 

There are so many people in need of prayers and it is so easy to say "I am praying for you".  I am ashamed to say that I haven't been praying nearly enough lately.  I have so many friends and family going through difficult times right now and I feel that if I started this prayer journal it would make me accountable and pray more.  I also want Boston to have something to go back and read one day if something were to ever happen to me.  I want Boston to know who his Mommy really is and to know my heart. The only way to do this is to lead by example. I want to raise him to be a Godly man and love the Lord. I want him to know how much I love him and what I wish for him and his future.  I don't want him to ever doubt my love for him or that he has given me a purpose on this earth.

Another reason I love blogging, knowing that he can go back and read all my entries and learn about himself and his family.  I will keep you updated on how the journaling is going, and I ask that you keep me accountable, my blogger friends, so that I follow through with this important task!   It seems so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life and forget to count my blessings and thank the Lord for them all.

On another note, we took Boston to the Dr yesterday and he has another double ear infection (his 3rd one since Sept 8th!)  We got another round of antibiotics and are going to be checked again at his 9 month check up in a couple of weeks.  I really hope we get this cleared up because I would rather him not have to have tubes.  My fear is that this will somehow affect his hearing and development. I know it is a completely routine procedure but it still makes me nervous thinking about it. I am ready for him to be healthy!  Him being sick also makes me feel bad.  I have been more than exhausted lately and may need to make a trip to the Dr myself.  All I want to do is sleep!  I'm sure that they would just tell me to eat better and get some exercise but who has time for that?!?!
