Here We Go Again!

I just read my last entry. I actually thought it sounded pretty good. However, I didn't follow through with doing better at blogging. As you can see, it has been six months in between posts. I'll just try to do better from this point on. :) I plan on blogging during my daughter's naps or maybe at night after the kids are in bed. But this is important to me and I will make time for it. See you soon.

Better

This year I vow to do better. I need to forget about perfection and I need to give up my excuses as to why I can't and I just need to concentrate on doing better. What areas of my life do I want to do better in? Well, all of them. But I'm not going to drive myself crazy and check off a list every day to make sure I did something better. I'm just going to live my life with more purpose and try to put time into the things that matter. So what can I do better at? Big things like making sure I budget wisely so I can get nearer to my dream of home ownership. Our big family desperately needs more room. I can also do better at my walk with God, one of the very biggest things in my life. But if you saw how little time I put into it, you would not think it was a big area. I also need to do better at the small things. Better at putting the laundry away as soon as it is dry. Better at writing thank you notes. Better at grocery shopping. I'm not going to stress over these things because more stress would not create a better life for me or my family but by doing these things better, it will help me have a happier life. I won't condemn myself if all the laundry isn't put away one day but I know that when it is, I can find things better and I just feel better in an organized environment. I will also do my best to do better at blogging. Not because I think that I'm depriving anyone from listening to my great wisdom but because I have always wanted to be a writer and even if I'm the only one that reads this, I will be happy. As I sit here, I hear my ten year old son singing Skidamarink to his 5 month old sister because she is starting to get fussy. I love that boy with all my heart. He is such a good big brother. My little girl is pretty amazing as well as are all my children. So now, I'm going to do better and go spend time with these amazing little people that call me mom.

Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. Colossians 3:23-24
