September 23,2013

Welcome Autumn! I can't believe it's been a year since I started this blog! I've come to realize something.... it's difficult finding time to do this when I'm homeschooling and providing child care! I had great intentions but too high expectations. So, I've resolved to just blogging when I can. Yes.... it took me a year to admit this. Even if no one is actually reading this, it's is quite cathartic to jot all of my thoughts down where there is a potential audience to share with. My thoughts that I would like to jot down this day, are simply thinking about my Savior. I'm thinking about how some of my friends are struggling with some really tough crap right now. I'm thinking about how chilly it is out side and my kids home-school assignments. I'm feeling peace realizing how quiet it is, because I have little ones outside playing as I watch and a couple babies sleeping like angels. Feeling blessed that even though I don't have a perfect life according my standards, it's just the way God has laid it out for now, and I'm excited about the next day when I grow just a little bit more in my walk with my Creator and Savior. I'm thinking about going to see the film 'Unstoppable' with my family tonight and meeting dear friends at Steak n' Shake before we head to the theater and watch together. I have hopes that it will change lives, answer questions (even some I have), and move hearts. Even as I sit here typing this, I'm now returning to my friends who are going through "crap", and wishing there was something I could do to help them get through, when all I can offer is prayer. I know that what satan throws at us... God uses for His glory. I pray that my friends know and accept that God has His reasons for allowing things to happen and it will, as long as they hold onto their faith no matter how bad it seems to be, come to rest in the perfect place that God has already established.  I'm thinking that it would be great if I win that year supply of K-cups from Keurig! .......Priorities Amy.
