We Made It!
Another long day but we did make it in before midnight. No Cinderella here folks! I am sitting here with CJ in my arms about to go lay her down. I will fill in the meat of the day soon. Prayer changes things, people, and situations so just do it folks!

Worn Out
Something that I rarely admit is being tired. I am a self-classified hyper active individual. I am like the Energizer Bunny I literally keep going, and going, and going as much as I can. Lately I have been hitting the wall which is very unusual. Between work, commutes, church, and keeping up with CJ my body seems to wear a lot more than usual.
No matter how worn out I may be at the end of the work day, I try to give CJ 100%. Today i was able to spend a few precious moments with her. After I picked her up from the babysitter we had some time to kill before Mommy would be out of work. Daddy decided that he and CJ would ride around Perth Amboy and Hopelawn to see houses. I must confess that their were some nice houses along our journey. Once we arrived at Mommy's job Daddy hung out with CJ for a bit in the back seat. of course those moments were filled will laughter and all smiles.
That was it for them though because Daddy had to drive back up north to go to work this evening. What a waste of time. When Daddy got back to pick CJ up she was sleeping so he knew the next contact would be him transporting her from the carrier to the crib. Not only are Daddy and Mommy worn out at the end of our long day but CJ is worn out too. At times I wish that CJ's day did not have to be so long but we have to go with the flow right now.
It is getting late. CJ has been sleep. Mommy has left me stranded so now I sit and watch the last few picks of the NFL draft. (Aside: I am very upset and want to make sure I have this in print. Denver made a stupid decision in picking Tim Tebow. You just got Brady Quinn and have Kyle Orton. Why would you select him so high? ) I am going to get to bed soon but not before I remind you of why we pray. We do it because we know prayer changes, people, and situations!

One Moment In Time
April 20, 2010 was another one of those days that Daddy did not see much of C.J. He woke her up and dressed her as usual, but by the time he arrived home, it was time for her evening bath. She was read to and prayed with and then Mommy put her to bed.
Now Mommy should know by now that C.J. usually wants to spend a few moments with her Daddy. So C.J. did what she normally does to get Daddy's attention...she began to make lots and lots of noise. Of course Daddy went to get her and then he sat and watched a few moments of the Celtics versus Heat game together with his Princess. It was not long before C.J. was fighting her sleep then her head rested on Daddy's chest. Very shortly after that, she was sound asleep.
It was one moment in time but it was so special. My Princess refused to go to sleep without resting a bit with her Daddy at the end of a long day. This moment meant a lot and I pray it is the foundations of many more to come. So C.J. has already prayed, Daddy will pray, you all keep praying too. Prayer changes things, people, and situations!

Hurry Up Daddy!
Today will be a little different from most posts. I will give you an update of an occurrence that happened this evening and call it a night. Tonight Daddy was going to cook but when he was trying to figure out what to create he realized that we did not have enough of the ingredients to make magic happen. Mommy figured that because we needed so much we should head to the diner to grab a bite to eat. No problem, Daddy always enjoys breakfast for dinner.
So we get to the diner, and as usual, C.J. sits next to Daddy. Usually no problem, but tonight she was very demanding. We brought along some snacks for C.J. so we were not eating in her face. The problem was that she was eating the snack as fast as she could. Now we know she can not say, "Daddy may I have another one please?" yet. Instead she decides to kick my arm when she is ready. However, Daddy was so into his meal he really did not respond as fast as C.J. wanted him to so she let out a demanding yell to gain Daddy's attention. It was so demanding that I needed to look over as if to say, "Who in the heck are you talking to like that?" As soon as I blinked I gave her what she wanted. I know you may say that I am soft but that is my girl.
So we came back home. C.J. was bathed, read to, and is now sleeping soundly in her crib. So now I am finishing up some work and then off to bed. Keep praying too. God is moving...I can feel him! I proclaim to you all that prayer changes things, people and situations. I am a witness!

C.J. Is A Mess
When children are born you generally know that your life will never be the same. Your life will now be governed by diaper changes, feedings, responding to cries, and many other miscellaneous tasks that come with the territory.
At first C.J. did'nt make much of a mess. She pooped...we cleaned it, and that was it. She spit up...we wiped it, and that was it. Now C.J. is getting older and much messier. Once I arrived home from work today, I found her looking a mess. Mommy just sat and shook her head. She had veggies here, veggies there, C.J. even had veggies in her hair! All because she likes to grab the bowl when she is eating. Soon she will have her coordination good enough to where she can feed herself. I figure that will be another level of messiness waiting to happen.
In life these days C.J. revives your spirits. When I came home today I was exhausted. Work was long, I was losing my voice...I could have laid down and went to sleep easily. (That is after I finished watching the Lakers win, of course) However, I reach the top of the stairs, and see C.J.'s face (even when it is messy) or hear her voice. I do not care how tired I am, I perk up quickly and a burst of energy runs through me, just enough to keep up with my little homegirl. We roll, we scoot, we laugh, and we fuss. The biggest thing we do is LOVE! I love that girl and she loves me.
She was such a mess Mommy decided to bathe her and get her ready for bed. I just gave her a kiss good night, and of course she wanted to see what was on the computer. She is really into the lights I think but I will feed her appetite for technology. I will also continue to feed her appetite for a well-balanced life. That means she will be in bed getting the proper rest her body needs to be fully functional on a daily basis. A regimen I pray she carries with her throughout life. In my profession, I too often see, students who forget that the body needs rest to function at 100%.
So now as Sunday is quickly approaching an end, I solicit your prayers. As the song says, "I can feel the presence of the Lord and I'm gonna get my blessing right NOW!" Pray that I allow the Lord to move in my life the way he wants to, with no pushing back. We all know, and I BELIEVE without a doubt, that prayer changes, things, people, and situations. Sometimes all in one, be blessed!
