While the baby sleeps

It has been quite awhile since i have posted and i have been just itching ( literally i have a rash) to post lately. I am going to to type as fast as i can while Copelan sleeps. Who is Copelan!? Oh yes i have given birth to our beautiful baby boy since the last time i posted. He is almost 2 months old now. This is him the day he was born. I fell in love with him right away..

Copelan 1 day old

 After almost 2 months our life has been changed.  So much is different now and i am still trying to figure out a rhythm but its getting a little easier. Some days are harder than others though and I know the title of my blog is now more true than ever. Our life is crazy and beautiful and full of adventure.
 I find myself not having enough time in the day to get things done but also getting a ton of things done if that makes any sense. When he is sleeping I cram so much into that little time its crazy and the to do list in my head is slightly overwhelming. work, dishes, laundry, he needs a bath, i need a shower, exercise, spend some quiet time with the Lord, get dinner ready and so on....unfortunately the last 2 days i have neglected to exercise..How am I going to get back into my jeans if I don't exercise!!?? This is the thought that goes through my head all day..( my husband does help alot but being home all day i try to get a lot of these things done)
   I am learning to breath..what is important? As a new mom all of the things on my to do list seem so important and overwhelming if i don't do them but as a new mom I also know that i will go crazy if I don't sit and eat and spend time in the word. Its has been hard to figure this out and frankly some days i have to make myself get off the couch and get things done otherwise i will feel blah all day.
  God wants us to breath and to feel joy. I want to enjoy life, to enjoy my little family that God has blessed me with. 1 Thesalonians 5:16-18 says to rejoice always! pray without ceasing and give thanks in all circumstances,
Rejoice God has done good things in your life and is continuing to do things in you that you can't even see...
Psalm 62&63 talk about how God is our rock and our refuge and how we need to trust in him. They talk about waiting on God. Please read these two chapters for yourself.

Everyday is new and filled with new obstacles and things to get through but everyday is also filled with new joys and new things to laugh about.
I absolutely love being a mom and I love what God is doing in me and Josh as parents, as individuals and as husband and wife. Life is not easy but God is our rock than we can stand on. He will uphold us and give us what we need.
I have realized then when i put God first and spend time with him everything else will fall in place and work out. I will have a nice dinner made to eat with Josh, some laundry done ( not folded) no exercise but I ate breakfast and lunch :)  I will be satisfied and live everyday asking God to give me strength and with him I have the joy and peace I need to be a wife and a mom.
