SO I really wanted to my first post to be about the kids... updates on what they are up to, how they are doing and pictures BUT I decided since this is on my mind here it is! Life with four kids is AMAZING!!! I love everything about it! There are goods and there are bads but around every corner is a smile, a giggle, a big embrace of all sorts and lots of slobbery kisses!! I would not trade my 4 crazy beautiful blessings for anything! And as great as it is.... it can also be very crazy and stressful!! Maintaining and balancing it all can get overwhelming at times! People CONSTANTLY tell me..." I don't know how you do it", "I envy you", Your my hero", "I can barely handle two let alone 4" and so on and so on..... I am not perfect in any way and certainly don't have any super Mom powers!! And the truth is without the Lord I couldn't do any of it! Having God's grace and His constant love in me gets me through everyday. It makes me a better wife, a better Mom, a better friend and better person! My relationship with Him is my #1 and putting Him in that position and giving all my life to Him makes it all work! He is in control! And having Him, the Holy Spirit, in me helps me bear the fruit of the spirit and makes all things around me such beauty! I have so many things to be thankful for and what better way to show my gratitude then with my faithfulness & obedience in the Lord and by bearing His fruit all around me! (Thanks ES!)
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."
{Galatians 2: 22-23}
