Since the start of school last September, we have all learned so much. I tell you, it's only by God's strength that I get up (almost) every morning with the amount of energy I have to teach Eden and Lincoln, tend to my sweet Nyla, and prepare the house for Ben's return home from work. Is it a breeze? NO; but, I never expected it to be easy. I take every challenge that comes along and TRY to make the best of it so that God gets the glory. I WANT to be a great mother/teacher to my kids; I WANT to and SHOULD take care of our home well so that my husband looks forward to coming home. AND I want to do all of these CHEERFULLY!!! Only with God's help!!
It's so neat to be able to see that my kids ARE learning. What a reward!!! Eden is reading sight words and Lincoln knows how to spell his name. WOW!!! They are always ready to learn something new.
Our family took a trip to Belize this Christmas and we had a blast!! Ben and I were very nervous about the flights but everything went smoothly. It's incredible how 7 days can fly by so fast. It was so great to see my family!! One highlight of our trip was that my parents sent us to Caye Caulker for 2 nights while they kept all three kids. What a relaxing vacation that was. Ben and I had time to ourselves and it was nice that the only decision we had to make was where we were going to eat the next meal. Pretty nice! I'm grateful to my parents for that. Knowing that my kids were well taken care of allowed me to really relax.
So, it's 2012; a new year!! God has really been challenging me spiritually and emotionally. It's been worth it. My attitude is better each day and I'm learning to prioritize. I want to be a better christian, wife, mom, and friend. It's helped to start out my day reminding myself Matthew 6:33 and Lamentations 3:21-24.
