My First Blogging Attempt

Soooo. . . I've been thinking and thinking about the possibility of trying to blog. . . how cool it would be to have a place that I could journal and my far away family could stay a little more connected. Well, here we go!! I'm pretty amazed that I've gotten this far, an account set up, background and title chosen, and even a picture posted. We shall see if it all sticks :)

The preacher is away at a conference in Kentucky so I'm holding down the fort this week with the kidos. I'm hoping to use the time to do some "spring cleaning," or rather "spring purging!" We did a little school today, but a lot of the day was spent going through the kids' clothes, getting rid of items that were too small or they no longer cared for. They are all growing SO QUICKLY, I can hardly keep up.

I helped the girls sort through some of their toys as well. . . Drew decided he was going to sort his LEGOS. Unfortunately he dumped all four drawers onto the ground with the goal of arranging them according to color. . . about half of them are still waiting to be put away. O the joy of itty - bitty LEGOS, polly pockets, and hair clips EVERYWHERE. Thankfully I have three more days to get everything put away!

Thank you Dear Father for the grace to get through today, for the rain, for my hubby's safe arrival to the conference. I was so very tired this morning and You sustained me! Forgive me for my short temper. Help me to be slow to speak and slow to become angry. Thank you for loving my children more than I ever could. . . You know what they need. PLEASE GIVE ME WISDOM as I seek to reflect Your Glory to them each day. In Jesus' name, Amen
