Wednesday

I have been busy cleanng the kids' rooms again. It seems like a never ending job. I dont know why I ever think these kids need more stuff. The other day I saw the cutest outfit for Eli and, Josh said, "does he really need more clothes?" I thought yah he really doesnt have much. Well I now know that he doesn't need more clothes after cleaning his room. I was trying to figure out when I could book a party for a friend. She wanted it to be on a weekend and I was looking through my calendar and I am almost completely booked from now until the end of October! Praise God right! I cannot believe I have that many bookings already. I would really like to have two - three parties a week but I know I have to work my way up and get the word out about my amazing company! My new goal is to not focus n the money but to focus on havin a fun girl's night for women to just relax and enjoy no kids! I am SUPER excited about life right now!! God is good!

Conference Call

I had the privilege to hear Michael Bernoff speak last night in a conference call. One thing he said that really stood out was you have to grow yourself before you can begin to grow your company. So I thought about this... What can I begin to grow in my life that can benefit my business. So I decided I am going to begin learning how to become a better public speaker. That is my first goal. After that who knows what, but that is first. I really want this business to work not really to make money, that would always be a benefit but I also want to use this company to help grow not only my current relationships but also to create new ones as well. This is the beginning of my journey and I can't wait to share it with all of you!

4 months old

Little Eli is now 4 months old. We started feeding him cereal this week. He LOVES it. He didn't eat it very well for me but of course when daddy fed it to him, he loved it. He is already starting to roll a little. He will get from his back to his belly and then get stuck and cry for help. I cannot believe how fast he is growin up already. Kenzie is an amazing big sister that loves her little brother. I have been faced with a challenge from God this week. My eyes were opened to how many prayer requests I see on facebook and other places throughout my day and I realized that I saw them and I saw the need but I hardly ever prayed right then are there for them. SO I talked with God yesterday while doing dishes and asked him, "Lord, send me something that you want me to pray for. Whether it's something global or someone or anything at all." So yesterday I get this text from an odd number. And it tells me about this young girl that had a horrible tragedy happen to her and she needed prayers. So I text the person back and asked who it was because I had recently lost all my numbers and I had no clue who it was. When they answered back I had no clue who they were. I didn't even know this girl. I facebooked both of them and not one of my friends were friends with them. I was shocked and realized that God just wants me to pray for every single thing. I do stay at home with the kids and that gives me plently of opportunities to pray throughout my day. I am really excited to see God work through me. I just pray I can listen to Him more often!!

The humble will see their God at work and be glad. Let all who seek God's help be encouraged!
Psalm 69:32

One month old already

Today my little man is one month old. I cannot believe how fast this month has gone already. It seems like just yesterday we were driving to the hospital to be induced. I am truly blessed beyond measures to have two healthy and beautiful children. Kenzie is the greatest daughter a mother could ask for. She brings so much joy to this family. I was so worried about how she was going to react to the changes that were going to happen when we brought Eli home. She has done so well already. I am sure there are meltdowns to come but she has made this transition go so smoothly thus far. Josh and I have a crazy life ahead of us and I know that God will bring us though all the tough times. March is here already and I am sure if I blink it will be gone just as fast. Wish I could keep Kenzie and Eli this young and innocent forever but since I can't I pray I raise them right in the Lord!

Blah

So today it is cold and rainy in Kentucky and it just adds to the drearyness in the Tinkler house. Last night we got the call that Grammy passed away. She was ready to go home. I don't know how Josh is taking it. I knew him and grandpops were close but I have never heard about him and grammy. Josh was quiet this morning he wasn't moppy or anything he just seemed tired. This is the first time we have had to deal with death since we have been married. We were dating when his grandpops died and unfortunatly I was on my back from Mexico when he received the news. I have no clue how Josh deals with death or if I am making a big deal about nothing. I just pray that God helps me comfort him in whatever way he needs comforting. God has truely blessed me with the greatest husband!!

It's monday

Is is yet another Monday but this Monday is like no other. God has truely blessed me this morning with the presence of His joy! We started potty training Kenzie last week and she is already doing amazing. Last night she pooped in the potty!!!! This morning right after she woke up she went in the big potty and then again at around 11:00! She still goes potty in her diaper quite a bit but I know it will be a slow process. I am not expecting her to be potty trained over night, especially since we are starting out so young! When I tell people we are starting to potty train they just give me this look like it is impossible but I know with God's help Kenzie will be potty trained before we know it. She is growing so fast, I am watching her out of the corner of my eye as she tries to put my shoes on her feet. She gets them on and then tries to stand up. She falls of course but the fact that she is actually putting shoes on her own feet is just amazing. I can't wait to see how Elisha is going to turn out. Speaking of little Eli, I get to hear his little heartbeat today. I am leaving in about an hour and I am just so excited to hear the little man pounding on my from the inside. He is going to be a rowdy one. He kicks all the time. Last night I was laying there in bed and he kicks his foot out and just sticks it there, those kicks are the most painful, but the most precious gift of pregnancy. I love feeling the presence of a little one inside, it just makes me more in awe of God's love for us and His limitless power. God is so amazing! Keep little Eli and myself in your prayers as we are finally in the third trimester. This is where it gets rough and patience grow thin. I am so ready to hold little Eli in my arms but God's time will come! God bless!

Half way through November already

I cannot believe November is half-way through and Thanksgiving is just next week. It seems like just yesterday it was nice enough to run around with shirts and shorts on but now we have to bundle up already. I am super excited about Thanksgiving this year. I am excited to see my family and for them all to see how much Kenzie has grown. I am excited to eat lots of food too. Being pregnant and having a big appetite is a major plus this time of year. I am also excited because Josh and I are going to venture out for the first time on black friday. We really need a tv and so we decided that we will go out on black friday and find us a new tv. Our anniversary is Tuesday and I have big plans for Josh and I. It is so hard to keep things from the person you tell everything to. Completely off subject, God has presented me with many questions this morning and we I am not sure if it is God really or Satan. I know that these questions will only strengthen my faith in God. I just want to be listening to the right Spirit instead of the wrong one. These questions I will have to face with Josh and God. I just know that whatever I decide in this kind of decision God will be pleased but I want to figure out exactly what God's Word says about the matter. Just pray for me these next few weeks and I begin to dig in deeper to God's Word. I am super excited to see where this study is going to lead me. I am so happy that God is giving me something to dive into and search for my own answer!

Can't wait for baby Eli to get here!!
