Everybody has those days

There is a song I love by Jessa Anderson called Everybody has those days.

Everybody DOES have "those" days! Last Saturday when I couldn't sleep I posted a blog and it was quite negative and here I'm wanting to write a blog that's positive because I'm having a very good day.
So last Saturday was just one of "those" days. Thankful for good and bad days - the bad days make me learn a little I'll admit.

Sometimes when I look back I see exactly why I things happen the way they did. I might think there is a problem at the time but God knows what he's doing. His timing and plan is perfect. I'm so thankful for where I am "right now".

I've decided to start Weight Watchers next week and my mother in law Jill is going to do it as well. Josh might even do it too. I sometimes regret paying for MWL but we did and I just have to get over that. I was hoping we were going to feel more encouragement from them but that wasn't the case. I did WW before so I know I can do it. I'll miss going to the meetings but right now it's easier to afford just doing it online. There is a WW app I can use for my phone so that should help as well. I've always got my phone.

Right now I'm cleaning for one person in Bailey every week, one family every other Tuesday, and one family every week. Then starting in August I'll be cleaning for a family every other Friday. I'm so blessed to be cleaning for such wonderful, caring, and sweet people. It's great being able to create my own schedule so that I can be with the girls. It's perfect of a nursing baby who doesn't take a bottle as well. I can clean for 3 hours and come home and feed her. If I were working somewhere I definitely would not have the flexible schedule plus I don't have to worry about a boss. =)
The people I clean for have said "Love you too Amanda" or "You're the best" or "You are appreciated very much by my family"    LOVE LOVE LOVE what I do.

God is Great!

Part 2 ... Had to take a nursing break ;)

So today has been a great day. While I was driving to clean I drove past The Knights of Columbus Hall where we had our Wedding Reception. I knew it was in Conklin but I didn't remember what road it was on. I drove a different way to the house so when I saw it I got a HUGE smile on my face. That was a great day and I'm glad we had our reception there.

It's great when little things like that bring back great memories. I love when that happens.

I also wanted to say that I am super thankful for my mother in law Jill. I don't take the time to mention enough how blessed I am to have her as my mother in law. I know for a fact no one has a mother in law like mine. She is the best Grammy my girlies could have. My girlies have the best Grandparents in the world.
She watches them anytime we need someone and while I clean. I've also been eating lunch there after cleaning. I could go on and on and really never be able to express how much she means to us. I'm not always the best at expressing my feelings in person so if I can type it and she can read it - maybe that'll help. I know she reads my blogs. ;)  I can talk to her about anything and she has given me the best advice sometimes. She tells me what I need to hear and at the right moments. I've become a better person with her help. I've become a better Christian with her help. Very blessed to have her in our lives. She has fibromyalgia and hurts everyday but she still tries her hardest to make sure her family is happy. Can't imagine life without her and I'm praying she's with us for many many many many more years.


I'm really going to try my hardest to not worry about what I think people think of me, or what they may be thinking. I know there are lots of people who love me and if they don't then I don't need to worry about them. There are some people I'd love to talk to more often but if they don't ever contact me then I guess they are just not meant to be a part of my life.

Most people know I'm a big worrier and think too much so there will still be those days that I think negatively but I know God has a great plan for our lives and he will provide for our every need.


Heard this song today - PERFECT!!

Lift my life up - by Unspoken

You brought me this far
So why would I question you now
You have provided 
So why would I start to doubt
I've never been stranded
Abandoned or left here to fight alone
So I'm giving you control

I lift my life, lift my life up
I give it all in surrender
I lift my heart, lift my heart up
You can have it forever
All my dreams, all my plans
Lord I leave it in your hands
I lift my life, lift my life up
Have your way in me
Have your way in me
If peace is a river
Then let it sweep over me
I'm under fire
I know it's refining me
When I hear you calling out
I follow now wherever the road may go
I know you're leading me home

I lift my life, lift my life up
I give it all in surrender
I lift my heart, lift my heart up
You can have it forever
All my dreams, all my plans
Lord I leave it in your hands
I lift my life, lift my life up
Have your way in me
Have your way in me

Take my life and let it be all for you
Take my life and let it be all for you

I lift my life, lift my life up
I give it all in surrender
I lift my heart, lift my heart up
You can have it forever

I lift my life, lift my life up
I give it all in surrender
I lift my heart, lift my heart up
You can have it forever

All my dreams, all my plans
Lord I leave it in your hands
I lift my life, lift my life up
Have your way with me
Have your way with me

Take my life and let it be all for you
