Happy New Year Everyone!!
Tonight is not a very "partying" kind of night for us. Although we were invited to go out with some other couples we weren't able to to make it. Although Stefan said that next year he would go out together-just him and I. So maybe will we will plan it.
We did go to I HOP for dinner with my Mom, that was real nice.
Over the past week, we have been re organizing our whole house, getting rid of junk, reorganizing the bedrooms-spring cleaning in a sense. It feels great to get it done.
The Lord has been teaching me a lot about being content.
We live in a small house-only 3 bedrooms. This has not been easy for me and has taken a lot of work by the HS to help me not to complain. Having 3 bedrooms and 5 kids isn't real easy. Yet I am soo grateful that we have 2 acres of land-what a blessing!!
Hopefully one day, the Lord will provide a larger home for us-in His timing.
For now I am trying to wholeheartedly embrace the idea of consolidating and getting rid of stuff we just don't need. It's been teaching and stretching me to master organization and managing my home in a way that serves my family and others. "Not my cup of tea. Help!!" Though it must be practiced!
God is always after our hearts, huh?
This lesson has taken years but I am finally seeing growth, slowly, but thankfully I am growing!
So what a way to begin the new year!! My mind has been focused on trying to embrace what the Lord is teaching me!
I must keep one step ahead, if not a couple of steps ahead, of my family.
Planning and learning to be faithful with what God has given me whether spiritually or materially.
That is a major thing that I believe the Lord has been preparing for me to embrace and prioritize this year. I am excited to see more of how He is going to teach me.
~I praise the Lord that His mercy's are new every morning~
I pray that you will also experience and know the fullness of the Lord's love and grace in your lives ten fold this new year!!
Blessings everyone!!
