Please read, comment, and enjoy. Note: Some entries will be backdated so you guys have the full scope of what this little family has already been through.hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/pawsandpacifiers/878663Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder. When things aren't working out as you wish, be patient. Stop trying to move ahead of God. His timing is perfect. We all at certain times in our lives find ourselves broken. True strength is found in picking up the...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/pawsandpacifiers/878662How time flies. It has been months since I have written here, and almost a year since I have written in Broken Chains. There hasn't been a huge reason, save that I simply felt there was not much to say. There was, of course. People like me always have something to say. But I have been lacking the...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/pawsandpacifiers/850814Seek ye first his kingdom and righteousness and all these things will be added unto you. -Matthew 6:33 Always be in prayer for loved ones who have not accepted Christ as their savior Today I will do what others won't, so tomorrow I can accomplish what others can't. -Jerry Rice Because we are all...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/pawsandpacifiers/850813Ayla turned two on December 13, 2014. Who said she could grow up on me? I'm still looking to see where my infant went. Maybe she's under the bed...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/pawsandpacifiers/850812I'm already failing in my goal to write something every day, but that's okay. I'll aim for every week. Happy new year all of you! It's good to be back here again. Life has been rather hectic and interesting, and I'll talk about it if I have the energy. All is well with Ayla though, so no worries...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/pawsandpacifiers/841988Wow, was my last entry really only eleven days ago? It feels like it's been ages since I've taken a seat to write here. Another separation approaches; Ayla goes to visit the "father" on Sunday and will be there through the 6th of November. So, not quite as long as the last visit, but still no...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/pawsandpacifiers/839932I came across this Youtube video through an email I received from Circle of Moms. It brought tears to my eyes and I think you should all watch and listen to it. The message is beautiful, the singer is gorgeous and the truth is that children can see the world ten times clearer than many adults...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/pawsandpacifiers/839802Seek ye first his kingdom and righteousness and all these things will be added unto you. -Matthew 6:33 Always be in prayer for loved ones who have not accepted Christ as their savior Today I will do what others won't, so tomorrow I can accomplish what others can't. -Jerry Rice Because we are all...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/pawsandpacifiers/839800I've had the best birthday, even without mom being here. Ayla and I went out for breakfast, where I had waffles smothered in whipped cream, strawberries and bananas, a side of ham, a side of sausage, a glass of orange juice and a hot chocolate with extra whipped cream. Ayla promptly ate all my...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/pawsandpacifiers/834322Anger takes too much energy to maintain. If my attorney gives in to what's being demanded simply to "get it over with", God will take up the slack. He might not be able to change anything legally, but he can move events and circumstances in a way that could. I don't know if karma is really a...
