The sounds of silence

Yesterday afternoon after we all had a nice lunch of french toast and bacon, nap time began. Let me start by saying my 3 year old is getting to the point where naps don't always come.

In one room, my littlest one listening to quiet music and sleeping away. My hubby who would have skipped lunch to sleep, was in the family room on the couch with nothing but the birds chirping outside. My daughter was attempting to sleep with sounds of hymns and then toddler favorites. Then myself in the master bedroom with the door closed, a ceiling fan and a window fan to block out any noise. Within an hour everyone was asleep. Listening to whatever their hearts desired to help them sleep. Oh, weekends are great.

OOPS.

It has been way too long since my last post over a month and a half. My apologies. The house is going well. I love being a homeowner. I tend to clean more often than when we were renting.

Our bedroom is the first "makeover" room. We painted it "clear blue." We have brown furniture and bed linens. Looking good. Props off to my husband. It took him quite a few tries to get the ceiling fan installed. He even took a class at Home Depot. But needless to say, He did it. No help from anyone. YES!

I took a break from typing to take a nap while the kids were "napping." One slept for maybe 20 minutes and the other not at all. I wonder what the night has in store. Oh Lord please give me patience.

On a more deeper note, how do you forgive someone when the wrong wasn't against me but a principle I believe in? My heart has gone through ups and downs trying to find peace. But is that what God wants? For me to be at peace with this difference in principle?I am not too sure is this where I need to stand and be that one?
