CHRISTMAS BREAK!

This is the 2nd of my 14 days off and it has been glorious! I have been spending time with my family and cleaning my house, both much needed things. Being a full time employee (in the ministry), a full time mother, and a full time wife is....challenging...to say the least. The Lord has been teaching me many things about setting attainable goals, not perfection, and serving Him with what you have, time included. I LOVE my little Elli and am so blessed to have her in my life, but I had no idea what a task of being a mother was. It is an awesome task, but one definitely learned as I (we) seek to raise her to serve and love God.

Thank you Lord for your blessings of family, friends, fellowship, and faith.

Trying to Keep up!

I now understand why it is so hard to keep up with friends, well anyways. Children lovingly need a ton of your time. I never really realized that until now. Eliana is a very good baby but even though she will play by herself most of the day, she wants to be with me or around me lots which in turn deters me from accomplishing much while I AM at home. It truly is a lovely thing to distract me from my duties, but I can't seem to make the time to keep in touch like I would like. I used to be pretty good at it, I thought, until now.... Oh, Well! As Steve Piggot would say. You Live, Learn, and Adjust!
