You Become What You Think

Today's Bible Study at church talked about the decision of being positive about circumstances around you. Being positive does not come naturally, but being negative does! I liked the author's quote: (Wood, Cindi; The Frazzled Female)

"I realized that it was no easy thing to get rid of negative thinking. I frequently had to trash the negative thoughts. I can tell you this created plenty of room to store the positive ones. And if I didn't hurry and put the positive ones in the negative ones would rush back in to fill the space! Our minds cannot hold a void. Something has to be in there!"

What do you want your Something to be?! Well, I asked myself this question, and the answer is the Scriptures! The first verse that came to my mind was my blog's title verse found in Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things."

Matthew 12:34 says: "For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. Let's fill our hearts with true, noble, right, pure, lovely and admirable things :)

Blessing from The Lord

I know sometimes it could sound "too much" for some people, but when you have a precious life such as a child on your hands you can't do anything to help the overwhelming joy you feel inside your heart! So we talk about it, we facebook about it, we blog about it, we just want to share the God given blessing with those we love!

I thank God for many sisters-by-heart that walked or are walking in the same shoes I am because being a mama for the first time definitely brings some challenges and new adventures!

We just took Julia for her 6 month appointment, so here is some of her latest accomplishments:

-She is 14.1lb (6.395kg)

-27in long (68.58cm)

-2 bottom teeth

-some extra hair just behind the years - p e r f e c t for "pig tails"

-giggles, and uablusss

-winks

-eat cereal;

-eat bananas

-and only drinks mama's milk :), yes I'm breasfeeding since she was born;

-and just tonight she set by herself for the 1st time :)

Rafa and I are so proud of her, and it's really fun to get to know her little personality each day. We have many family members and friends overseas, so we hope this will give you a little bit of an idea of how our daughter is doing! Children are blessings from The Lord, and we are so thankful He chose us to be Julia's parents!!!

For a long time I have been wanting to post some of my "art", and now Rafa helped put a little video together so I can finally share it with you! I make custom baby onesies and shirts, Newborn-4T, I've been inspired by my 5 month old daughter, and art created by small designers.

It's been fun, since I have Julia to help test my creation, and that loves posing for pictures!

They make great shower gifts, and it's certainly unique. I named this little collection "in love with your baby" because it's a reflection of my love for my baby, always making sure I create something for her that's special, fun, beautiful, but most important made with love!

For orders, please contact me by e-mail.

Julia has now her 2 bottom teeth! She is improving sounds and giggles like "ghghghghrrrr" and as a proud mama I want to shat this shot we finally got today =)
