Church

It was so great going to church as a family again. I hope I never take it for granted. The kids did great in their classes, church was amazing. I need to stop looking in the mirrors of this world that have labeled me and I need to quit labeling myself! I am God's daughter. Through my weakness He is strong and then glorified. He WILL bring forth his purposes for me. I just have to keep my eyes on Him and help point others eyes in the same direction. I am so filled with joy from God at this stage in my life. I always want to remember this joy so that when the enemy attacks I'll know that I am walking where He is leading. There is nowhere I'd rather be. Tim went to meet Scott to take down the swing set at Scott's sister's house for the kiddos. Lily came over and we all went on a walk down the street to see them. That evening we watched football and spent time as a family. Great day.

New year

It's the beginning of a new year and of course I have a New Years resolution or should I say " word" or "phrase." It is to ENJOY the blessings God has given me. The first and best blessing that comes to my mind is my family. Today Classical Conversations(CC) started back. The encouragement I get from those women is great. God has us right where He wants us. Willow showed off her ladybugs for her presentation. I thought Zoe was going to cry to go with Mrs. Peaches but instead she ran down the hall yelling,"I love school!" The old me would have gotten upset for her running down the hall. But the 2013 Brittany wants to be thankful for those sweet moments knowing that God is confirming homeschooling in my mind over and over again. When we got home Willow got mad at me because I told her it was time to take a nap. She told me she was gonna give me a cold and then tried to cough on me!! It was all I could not to laugh...don't know where she gets this stuff. My sweet Ty fell asleep on me while we all watched Lady and the Tramp. Part of my new " Enjoying my blessings," I breathed him in knowing how quickly this time is flying by. I had just given him a bath so he smelled like heaven with fluffy hair. I ended the night with little girls jumping bed to bed and a little arm around my neck from Ty bear. Wow... What a blessed life to enjoy this year. Thank you Jesus.

This blog

I wanted to start this blog for many reasons. The first is for me to help keep track of These wild and precious days. It's so easy for the days and weeks to pass me by. I want to take the time at the end of the day to remember all the funny, sweet, and sometimes difficult times. I want that when we are all older we will look back at this blog and laugh like crazy. This will also be a great way for family to get to read all the stories for themselves when I forget to tell them. This life I live truly is a good one, God's blessings have overflown and I want to share it with everyone.
