What a week and a crazy season in our lives. We are busy trying to get through school and all the activities of two teenagers. Whoever says home schoolers are not socialized has never been to my house! And I am sure most of yours! : )
I mentioned before that I am slowly reading through Ann Voskamp's book "1000 Gifts." I have to be in a place with no distractions and really get into what I am reading. This last week I had that chance and one quote that really got me was "Here me say Thank-You! Live a life of yes to Christ and no to worry."
All my life I have been someone who worries. Ugh! I hate that about myself but it is true. I have developed a bad habit of going right to worry.
So, by counting my gifts, I am trying to see joy everywhere. I am choosing to see the gifts and to live in the moment. Be where I am...
