It's been busy and it's just going to get worse.

I just realized today that once I start my job I will not have a day off. Mon. - Thurs. I will have school. Fri. and Sat. I will be working. Sunday is always busy, we go to both services at church because Scott teaches the elementry school kids and I help out in the nursery, and we are back at the church on Sun. night because I lead small group. I really hope this will be worth it. Please pray for my poor children. I fear that they will feel they do not have a mother. And my husband may feel like a widower. That really breaks my heart.

I suppose we could give up the extra things at church even though I really don't want too. God, help us make the best decisions for our family!

I know, it's so hard. James and I just had this "discussion" a couple of days ago.

It seems like we spend so much time running, that we don't have any family time. I'm not sure what the balance is either. We think of giving up certain things at the church, but then we think, "Well, but I really feel like God called me to do this."

Then again, God also calls us to be moms and dads, maybe the most important jobs we have.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know you aren't the only one struggling through this. James and I are taking a good look at our family, and our lives, and praying about what we need to change in order to make more room for Christ, and each other.

I really believe that when we seek Christ with all our hearts, and what he would have for us, that He won't fail to lead us in the right direction, no matter what that is.

Thanks Kelly!

I know that is so true. Just sometimes when things seem to pile up and I don't know what is around the corner, I forget that God does. And I know He has my back! WHEN I make it through this next couple of years I'll have one heck of a testimony. After all you can't have a testimony without a test, right...
