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.

What a day!

    Today is one of those rare days. Janelle and I are the only ones home! I appreciate days like today because they don't happen often. When one family member is missing the chemistry in the home changes.
   This is a good thing! Today Janelle and I will have a fun girls day out. We spent the morning hacking Jack's facebook, soon we will go out to town, have lunch, Janelle wants a hair cut and then off to finish her Life guarding course.
   That gives me the afternoon of just me!!!! What shall I do?? First things first, I will do what every mother would do..clean the house. Then some quiet time of reading, maybe even on the front porch. OH YA!
   Once again my back has been giving me some problems, I am wondering if my Lord is trying to tell me to make some changes in my life. I am not able to do the things I have always done, like rota til the garden, or carry a laundry basket upstairs. Some of these seem to be no brainers but some are the everyday chores of a mom. My pride gets the best of me during these times. I am a "I can do it myself" kind of person. I don't like asking for help. Pride. Pray with me as I learn to follow Jesus and learn to let go.
