It's not about me.

I am not the writer in my family, I am the talker. So I am trying to talk less and write more.
Life as a follower of Jesus, a wife, a mom, a missionary, a home school teacher, and so much more truly makes it "not about me". Most of the time I am okay with that, but I will admit there are times when I wish it could be "about me".
My goal in having an online journal is to be transparent, to be honest, and encourage you to grow in your walk with Jesus, as we/I try to make it more about "Him" our Heavenly Father, and less about me/us.

Welcome

         Today I have begun to blog. I do not plan on advertising this fact that I am blogging just in case I fail to keep up.
         It has been one of those days where I have spent much of my day running. Janelle had volleyball practice, Jacob has cub scouts, and  we made a quick trip to the newest park in town. Along with every weekday, home school first thing this morning.
         Jack and son Josiah went to the Chiefs home game this evening and son Joel left this morning to head back  to Wisc..
         Your life may be just as busy as mine, a different kind of busy if you have real young ones at home. Or maybe you have an empty nest, yet life still seems busy. Where does the time go. When do I get to sit and ponder on the things of Jesus? Jesus was proud that Mary chose to sit at his feet and listen. Martha, like myself, was too busy getting things done.   
         The laundry, the dishes, the making of beds, picking up around the house, and meals all still need to be done in between the taxing. I am tired, I am ready for bed, and it is only 6:20 pm, I can't go to bed yet. And I still want my time with Jesus.
       So I will take my Bible with me, and as Jacob goes to Scouts I will sit in the car with Jesus, and ponder.
