sometimes

Sometimes......

*my kids don't eat or like the meals I make for them
*I only clean when I know company is coming over {read I can make a vacuum last 11 years by not using it that much}
* I don't give my kids a bath every night
* I eat ice cream 2 times in one day
* I don't get up early enough to read my BIBLE
*my kids have epic fits
*there is not enough caffeine to deal with the day
*look forward to nap time WAY TOO MUCH
*I am excited if I get a shower
* I let my kids watch way too much TV
*I let my kids play independantly and use their imagination
* my house looks like a disaster
*my kids wake up early to pray for friends
* I let my kids play in the dirt
*my kids are compassionate towards their siblings
* my kids love loving on friends
* my kids invite neighbors to play and have dinner at our house
* I wave the white flag and feed my kids chicken nuggets and macaroni and cheese
* I watch way to much reality TV
* I love to watch my kids giggle and come up with silly dances
*my husband is a better house keeper than me
*I like cooking for my family even if they are picky because of choice or allergies

Sometimes I am not perfect but sometimes I get a glimpse of who my children  will be by the grace of God!  Sometimes I get a glimpse of what God has in store for me. And its AWESOME! Despite my lack in some areas. Sometimes......

We go to the west side {off campus} of town to the Somalian population and do a day time VBS and lunch for these kids for an entire week.

We walked through stations, preparing our hearts for this season of Lent. It was a perfect activity for our family to do together. In the Lenten study package was The Names of God Bible reading challenge . I am really thrilled to focus in on the Names of God for this season. Preparing my heart for the Easter season. So today, the sanctuary needed cleaned. All the stations needed put back in the closets and offices that they were borrowed from. Little ...
