Time Management

I've always thought I didn't have enough time in the day.  Back when I only had 3 children, I said I couldn't find the time in the day to read my bible.  I had a friend from church who use to tell me I should be reading my bible daily and I made excuses, I'm too busy with my kids and the house.  I always found time to watch TV or cruise the web though!

I realize now looking back it was a time management issue.  I didn't organize my day in a way to utilize my time wisely and it was also a priority issue.  It wasn't a priority to read my bible.  Now I have 6 children, run a daycare with 5 children three and under all day, and go to school full time online.  I get the joy of hanging out with my kids all day, playing with them and teaching them.  I have found the spare moments in my day to do my school, usually nap time and bedtime.  In the last 2 days, I have read 1 & 2 Kings, which is 47 chapters.  I still manage to get about 6-7 hours of sleep every night!

 I'm excited for my husband, Chris, to join me in this adventure of starting school.  Chris will be starting school in the next month and then we will be sitting up together after the kids are in bed working on homework!  I have realized I need to make reading my bible a priority and it only took like 5 years!        

Our Princess is 2

The last 2 years have flown by!  I can't believe our little princess is 2.  I remember when she was born and I still couldn't believe we had a girl!  She has changed so much!  She has a got a personality on her! She is rambunctious, silly, needy for mommy's attention and just so much fun!  She is all over the place, there is no keeping up with her! Most of my pictures I take of her are smeared cause she likes to run all over the place!

 

 

This was her 1st birthday last year!

 

She finally started to get hair!

Give It All To Him

It's been a while since I've posted.  I've been real busy with my family and school or "LIFE". 

It's amazing how busy life can get.  We all have so much going on that takes priority.  Sometimes I think it is too much to juggle.  I'm waiting for the day I drop all the balls.  I think in our society today, we feel like we aren't complete unless we do everything.  I am really trying to give it all to God.  As much as I try to do everything myself, I end up making a big mess.  But when we trust God and give it all to Him, He leads us on our path.  Throughout history, we can see in the Bible where God just wants us to trust Him with our needs.  We had trouble with that then and we still struggle with that today.  I love reading through the Bible seeing all that He has done for us.  Miracle after miracle he performed for the Israelites and they still turned from Him and worshipped other gods.  These other gods did nothing for them and when they got in over their heads, they would cry out to God to save them.  It blows my mind, why they would ever worship anything else, but God.  These other idols did nothing for them, and they have seen what God does for them.  I am learning so much studying the old testament.  Humans screwed up then and we still do now. 

It's hard to give it all to Him, but I know I can't do it without Him!   
I came across this video that our church made a while ago, and it just shows how we are suppose to give all our struggles to God.  He's here for ALL OF US!!
