Blog name change.

Welcome to my New Years blog! The name has changed from Kissing my family to a new title: His Flower Kingdom.... Yea I know I couldn’t think of anything else, but since I love flowers, I wanted to name it Flower Garden or Garden of Hope, but the name belongs to other blogs, so I couldn’t use that. I know that I should live my life and strive for the everlasting flower garden, which would be in heaven. Also our life should represent a beautiful, delicious smelling flower. Not a huge pile of garbage, stinky and attracting flies and worms.


I am hoping this new year to write and post pictures of flowers, of beauty, of ordinary things. To write about my girls, and post pictures of all that we do and how we enjoy Gods flower kingdom. We do live in His beautiful kingdom here on earth, some parts of it are neglected and not so beautiful as when God created it. But still even now there are so many beautiful spots on earth, if we only stop to look.

I live in a large city, so where ever I am in my city I look for nature: for flowers, for wild grass, for birds, for trees that bring such delightful shade. I enjoy fresh air and every time we can we go on a walk with my girl, I teach them to love nature too, and praise God the Creator for all the lovely things we see.

Here is a little friend that comes to visit us in our backyard.

A cute little fellow that comes to beg for nuts and bread. We also have birds visiting us as well, but they are too fast for me and my camera. In having a nice, large yard for the first year of our life’s, and being able to plant a garden last spring, I am waiting with impatience for this spring, to plant a new garden with more flowers, more vegetables, and more herb... oh I cant wait.

Here are my 3 little girls playing and hugging each other, the baby doesn’t really want all their love and attention, but she will stand it for a little while. They are my little flowers as well. Each child unique and special. In Gods kingdom I need to make sure they grow in His truth, love and learn all that I as a parent should teach them. Oh, God give me wisdom to teach them right.

I do hope this year I will have a lot of fun with my blog, and I hope you as my readers will enjoy visiting my little flower garden, filled with little girls, flowers, beautiful pictures and smiles.

Change.

A New Year is always a time for a change. I am getting bored with my blog. I cant find the time or the inspiration to post anything worth reading. So I decided to change the title of my blog.... Yes, I know that changing the title will not make the blog interesting, but I believe its worth a try... If I am bored with my blog, I can just imagine how bored others are in reading my blog...:) Hey, I don't take it personally, for me this is an exciting place to post picture of my little ones, to post my photos that I love taking, and to write a few words of inspiration or something else. I am not a great writer, and most of the time I am bad with grammar, and spelling, but knowing that this way I can learn to get better, and in this I believe. I believe that not everything written is worth reading, but sometimes its possible to find a jewel through the hay. In reading all kinds of blogs I find a lot of people are so talented, while others not so, but still have a lot of followers, who love to read everything that the person writes.

So for this New Years resolution, I would like to change my blog in little, subtle ways, and start bringing into it the things that I love. Hopefully the inspiration I have bubbling within me about the blog will really inspire me to write and post fun posts. I will hope and pray.... :) Now I just need to think of an interesting title for my blog.... :)

The busy bee..

Golden gate...

Golden gate bridge... isn't it just gorgeous?

What a busy few weeks I had. Work, family, relatives visiting from a different state, the baptism of my nephew and niece. Going to see wonderful places, and seeing the beautiful ocean... Getting up early in the mornings, and staying up late in the evenings. Registering and testing my 5 year old for kindergarten... Summer is almost over, how sad.

Now I hope the life will slow down a bit, and I can enjoy some of my blog friends...and the life you write about.:))

Life in general... is it always busy?

Every happening, great and small, is a parable whereby God speaks to us and the art of life is to the message. (Malcolm Muggeridge)

I have been kind of busy lately.. My nineteen year old sister is visiting me from Missouri, and there hasn't been much time for me to enjoy my blogger friends. :)) Well life goes on, work, housework, laundry, cooking, gardening, decorating, and going on little family trips.. enjoying the beautiful weather we are having. I have been so busy that at night I get insomnia, with all kinds of thoughts swirling in my head, waking me from my dreams.

Some days I still fight the avalanche of depression, the darkness, the sadness... especially if I have to work long hours. Not believing in taking the anti-depressants I fall to my knees with the heaviness of my load and petition God to help me. To heal me, to shine his light into my soul, to pour down his sweet love, to comfort me. He does. How wonderful to have this awesome God we can turn to, in our darkest hour. When our hearts are torn and bleeding.

Its amazing to be loved by our heavenly Father. I read somewhere that we as humans, usually compare the heavenly father to our human fathers. Its nice when we have great dads, but when we don't... we need to realize that God is love. He will never hurt us, but heal us. I am so thankful for being found by Him and to be his daughter. It would be amazing to see Him face to face. Will you be ready when He comes again?

Blog Hop!

I am joining in the fun of a Blog Hop... how interesting! Today is a beautiful day here in California, the sun is shining, the heat is rising. After putting my toddler and my infant to sleep for their afternoon naps, I am free to blog. Its a wonderful way in meeting new faraway friends, to read other peoples thoughts, and their insight. Some have funny stories, some more sad. I enjoy reading all of them. Some days I find a certain one that I like more which makes me want to be a follower.

A little about myself, I have 3 little girls, Ariana is almost 5, Odelia is 2, and Leona is almost 6 months. My dear hubby doesn't really appreciate the time I spend on my computer, but everything we do in life has to be balanced. I live here in California, where summers are hot, winters are cold, but we never get snow.

I like to write about things of everyday life, my family, my girls, my work, my struggles and my joy in walking with Jesus Christ as my saviour.

Happy 4Th of July for you all tomorrow, the day of Independence. I hope you are all having lots of fun.

Taking a short break.

Today when I woke up, the sun streaming through my blinds, I wanted to turn on the computer right away to check out the blog world, facebook, emails and things like that. I realized that I am addicted to the Internet, to the blog world. I love reading all the stories people write about. It amazes me how we can interact and get to know each other from different states, different countries, even different continents. I enjoy all the difference of writing style, all the different personalities that I can feel through the written word. So now you know my secret, I am addicted to the Internet.

So this morning when my 3 month old woke me up at 7am, with her little baby talk, I made myself and the baby presentable, then we did some Pilate's moves for my exercises, I read my bible, had some quiet time with Jesus. Took a little walk with the baby in my arms around my garden, enjoying the fresh, crisp smell of early morning. There was a bit of cool breeze from the delta, I imagined that I can even smell the salt from the ocean. Then I made myself a cup of my favorite coffee, and the little one was ready for her morning nap. My older girls woke up, and after giving them breakfast I was able to log in online. I know, I know I cant stay away the whole day!

I took a little break from the Internet world. I wonder how many other people feel addicted to it? If only we were addicted like this to the word of God, to His presence. Over the weekend I realized how life could be so unpredictable. A friend of ours who was a dear christian decided to leave his wife and his children and live a life of a single man. Makes me wonder what our world is coming to? God knows what is in every ones heart, sometimes we can hide it, or the evil things we do, or think. But eventually it will show it self.

'You will show me the way of life, in your presence there is fullness of joy, in your hand there are pleasures forever.' Psalm 16:11
'He brought me forth into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me. The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands..' Psalm 18:19-20
