This face pretty much sums up the past month around our house! We have been so busy with different things. We had an AWESOME conference at our church called The Real Me. It was designed for women and teen girls, and it was just what the great Physician ordered in this mommy's heart. We've had lots to do around the house, and the weather has been so pleasant that we've done lots outside too. Birthday plans have been in the making as well. Our sweet little boy will be one year in 2 weeks... I can hardly believe it. And he is so active that I don't think I even sat down all week... let alone finished a meal. He's into everything... cabinets, toilets, flower pots, closets, eating toilet paper, eating anything actually that he can fit in his mouth. He pulled a leaf off of a flower the other day and tried to eat it. Needless to say, it's been a little crazy around here. A good crazy though.
As I was saying about the conference, it was great. In preparation for it and in attending it, God really began to work on my heart. I have really been trying to change my attitude lately and some bad habits, like way too much television. My cynical tendencies became a little too friendly, and I have really wanted to be more compassionate and open. So, I put my words into actions this week, and it has truly made a difference. I have had the best week. I have been tempted, but I have not been defeated! Though there have been trials, my perspective has made all the difference. Music really is better than tv too. I don't know if it was just a capping of my week or what, but I felt like I was about to be in heaven this morning at church too. I have longed for that feeling for a while. It's amazing how what I put into it leads to what I get out of it. Why do I not do this all of the time?! My energy level has about tripled, and that excites me! I feel like I'm getting to the top of the mountain finally after adjusting to motherhood, staying at home, some big changes in my hubby's life, and learning to let go of things. So if you find yourself lonely, hurt, confused, exhausted, running in circles, lifeless... keep on keeping on!! God will deliver you, and you are so precious to Him. He loves you dearly and will not give up on you.
To another great week,
