With the title of our blog "The Watson Family and Blessings" I thought I would share with you not only our most precious blessing, Emma, but also our love for Jesus who is THE provider of all of our wonderful blessings.  Without him we would be nothing and have nothing!  Many years ago, I read a devotional in the "Purpose Driven Life" which has truly stuck in my mind ever since.  It seems to comfort me through any obstacles, stress and hard times.  This devotional goes through my head almost every day and always makes me feel better about whatever I may be "worrying" about at the time.  It taught me that whatever the "Problem", Whatever the "Stress", Whatever the "Worry" .....it doesnt matter.  Nothing that matters here on earth will matter at all when we enter eternity!!  So why worry about it here.  Everything will pass and will be perfect in heaven.  Life's problems are so insignificant.  It also reminds me everyday not to focus on the materialstic and earthly things.  These things will not travel with us when we leave earth.  These things are not important, so why focus your life on what you have or dont have?  Instead, focus your life on how you can live for God and strive for eternity.

Segments from Chapter 6 in the Purpose Driven Life

"Life is a Temporary Assignment"

Life is a temporary assignment. Earth is only a “temporary residence” for us. The things of the earth will pass away but heaven will last forever. Our perspective on life determines what we do with our life - what we do with your time, our talents, our money, everything we have. Warren gives us 3 perspectives for a purpose driven life: 1. Life is a test  2. Life is a trust.  3. Life is a temporary assignment.  In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. This is the warm-up act, the dress rehearsal, the tryout, the practice, the preperation for the next.  God wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity. We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that out, life isn't going to make sense. Life is a series of problems: Either you are in one now, you're just coming out of one, or you're getting ready to go into another one.  The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort; God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy. We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that's not the goal of life. The goal is to grow in character, in Christ likeness. Realizing that life on earth is just a temporary assignment should radically alter your values.

"Friends, this world is not your home, so dont make yourselves cozy in it.  Dont indulge your ego at the expense of your soul" 1 Peter 2:11
"This world is not our home, we are looking forward to our everlasting home in heaven" Jeremiah 29:11

Wow, how time is flying!  I am now 3 and a half months and weigh 10 pounds 11 ounces!  I am still as cute as ever and have had a very busy past few weeks!  I had my first trip to Charleston to meet my friends McRae and Thomas! I loved Charleston and loved the beach! I also took a trip to Destin for my Great-Grandfathers 88th birthday party!  While in Destin I went swimming for the first time.  Daddy took me in the pool and I absolutely loved it!!  I think Im going to be a little fish one day!

I am sleeping sooo well!!!  I have just started going to sleep at 8 or 8:30 and I am sleeping all night until my mommy and daddy come to get me at 7:00 in the morning.  I am usually already awake, I just lay in my crib until they come get me and I am ALL SMILES!!  I am such a morning person (I take after my mom, not my dad, in this way). I get soo excited to see them in the morning!

My favorite thing to do now is to watch Baby Einstein or my Praise Baby DVDs.  I smile, kick around, cackle and "sing along" for a good 45 minutes! I LOVE IT!!!

I LOVE to talk!!  I will hold a "coo-versation" with you for minutes upon minutes!! I am just a little chatty cathy!  I am also a little inch worm.  My parents put me to sleep, swaddled from under the arms and down, in the center of the crib with my head in one direction.  The next morning somehow I have inched my way to the other end of the crib and with my head in the opposite direction!  I have a feeling I am am going to be a mover when I begin to crawl!

I started school last week.  I go to Daycare 3 days a week and I am having a lot of fun, even though I really miss my parents and they really miss me.  But my teachers are really really nice and I have met lots of friends in my class.  And then on Tuesdays and Thursdays I play with mommy all day.  We go on walks, meet daddy for lunch, watch Baby Einstein, play with big brother Charlie and have the best time!!!

This past weekend I stayed with my Bebe and Pop and had such fun weekend!!!  Then on Sunday we went over to G's new house in Montgomery to help her move in!  I am very excited to have ALL FOUR of my grandparents in Montgomery now!!!  Plus Aunt Mal and Uncle John and Uncle Mason!  Aunt Mal likes to sneeze really loud and make me laugh, she is really funny!!  I also get to see Aunt Smith, Uncle Jonathan and Baby Beevers this weekend at my baptism!!  And I CAN NOT wait to find out if I am going to have a boy or girl cousin in just a few weeks!!!

Here are some cute pictures of me from the past few weeks!!!
