NOT ME! Monday



Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can normally head over to http://www.mycharmingkids.net blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing each week. "I created Not Me! Monday for the purpose of confessing our shortcomings and imperfections to each other since, after all, we are all only human!" (MckMama's words) Every Monday, you can find more "Not Me! Monday" at her site.

McKMama has had a higher calling this week. As many of you know she has been spending endless hours by the side of her precious Stellan, who remains in the PICU having heart problems. Please continue to pray for this family. In honor of McKMama and her McKMuffin some fellow bloggers have decided to take care of the Not Me Monday for her. So hop over HERE to the Cline Family Blog to see what others have NOT been up to this week. ~Stellan Style


Although not many read this blog, I couldn't resist adding my part to NOT ME! Monday. I love reading all the other post's on monday's and have wanted to join in on this project. So.. Here we go...
My week NOT for Stellan...





I most certainly did NOT spend ALL week checking my computer for updates, messages, and pictures of sweet Stellan and the McKFamily, nope NOT ME!

I did NOT try to come up with clever ways to explain who the McKFamily is and how I know them so that everyone could lift them up in PRAYER, and tell everyone about how special this precious family is. Including my husband who though thinking I'm nuts.. did NOT begin asking me daily how Stellan was doing.

I did NOT join Twitter and begin following Jennifer just so I wouldn't have to wait to get to my computer to hear how things are going. Nope! NOT ME! and My phone was not attached to my hand all week so that I wouldn't miss a single Tweet update from McKMama!

I did NOT tell all that I know the story of Stellan and pleed for prayers, calling all to flood the throne of Heaven on behalf of Stellan. I did NOT join facebook groups, post pictures, dedicate my status to Stellan and spread the news to ALL my facebook and blog friends... and certainly did NOT begin following many new Bloggers to keep up with everything.

My heart did NOT break for this Family and no tears fell as I did NOT weep for this sweet mother who is such a blessing to others, and for this innocent little boy who is going through so much. The begging and pleeding were NOT to my Heavenly Father to spare this family from the grief and pain we've had to endure this past year. NOT ME!
Father, we continue to lift up this Family to You. Put your arms around precious little Stellan. Bring your amazing Peace and comfort to McKMama and PC and their MSC. Give Grace and Your Will Be Done...
"Now to HIM who is ABLE to do immeasurably MORE than we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Eph. 3:20-21"




Now... to lighten things up a bit I can't resist sharing the events that did NOT occur this morning as I tried to get this blog posted.....

I did NOT leave 2 young boys outside unattended...... with a tool table full of water... and a bucket of dirt...

To create a HUGE muddy MESS!...


Of course I then did NOT toss them both into the tub to get cleaned off....



And NOT put them both to bed for naps



So I could FINALLY finish this blog! ... Nope!, NOT ME!!


(And naturally I did NOT go from yelling at them, ...to laughing... to taking pictures of this dirty event! Certainly NOT wanting to capture these moments forever... )
