Life is hard sometimes. But I've come to learn and believe that God will never give us more than we can bear. Through this blog, I'm going to share the "golden nuggets" of my family.

What are "golden nuggets," you ask? Well, I once had a discipler that would make me share something good or encouraging that God has shown me in His word or done for me during the week. Think of it as a treasure hunter sifting for gold from the sand.

As a teen, my life seemed to be filled with many troubles, but when I took the time to search for those golden nuggets, I came to realize that they weren't that hard to find.

Mom

My mom is so cool! We usually try to get together once a week because I want her to know her grandchildren and I want to hang out with her too. We would usually go to the local Starbucks or IHOP. Anyway, this week, I wasn't able to because I was too busy. So, when she called one morning and I told her that I wasn't going to be able to hang out with her, instead of saying "See you next week" like she normally would, she asked me, "what do you want from IHOP?" and even better, "what do the kids want?"

Wow! What an unexpected blessing. She knew exactly what I wanted and had the eggs cooked just how I like it. It's funny how even though I have kids of my own, that she still takes care of me ...AND my kids in various ways! I will say it again, my mom is the coolest!

GOLDEN NUGGET: Learning to appreciate my mom, despite my terrible, teen years.

New Addition

Today was my first formal ultrasound for Baby #4. This is one of my favorite and one of my least favorite parts of being pregnant. Favorite because I get my first real glimpse of the baby and we love finding out if we're having a boy or a girl (hey, we like being surprised early, okay?) and it's one of my least favorites because after drinking about four cups of water, I have to hold it in for about 45 minutes to an hour tops.

Anyway, to make a long story short, we got to see all the vitals. The baby looks fine and we're going to go over the results on Tuesday, my next pre-natal appointment. By the way, we are having a Boy!

GOLDEN NUGGET: God-willing, we will have another precious addition to our family early September or beginning of October. It makes all these "hardships" that I'm going through worth it.

Opposites

My mom was gone for a couple of weeks. She was in the Philippines for her brother's funeral. Even though I told her not to worry about it, she brought back some "pasalubongs" (presents) for them. Here's what she brought back for the girls.

Zokey totally loved this outfit! She kept saying, "Is coot. (It's cute.)"


Now, Buggy Bug was another story. Look at those tears! You almost feel sorry for her, right?


This was literally two minutes after I told her she could take the outfit off.

GOLDEN NUGGET: My life became much more interesting when God blessed me with children.
