Well, what can I say, I've been busy being a Momma and sometimes it's hard to find the time to sit down and breathe. But it's a good kind of busy. ;)
One of my best friends in the entire world (whom I love dearly because of her random thought pattern and because of her love for the Lord) and I were talking the other day about all the changes going on in my life. At least it SEEMS like there are a lot of changes going on. *laughing* Anyway, we were talking about the way we made decisions when we were very young adults and how it's affected us now. You reap what you sow sort of thing...
This one has been hitting me kind of hard lately as I am definitely dealing with things now that are a direct consequence from decisions I made when I was younger. There's something to be said for making the RIGHT decision instead of the EASY decision. I know when I was younger I often made the easy decision seem like the right one. My Dad has always told me that the right decision is usually the hardest one. I made a decision when I was younger that definitely was the easy one. But most certainly not the right one.
So now, I have to accept that I was just so very wrong. And I can tell all of you that choosing the "easy" path now will for sure come back to bite you in the end.
I have a sign hanging in my kitchen that says "Why is there never time to do it right but always time to do it twice?"
Point taken.
I'm at a really wonderful place in life. I have 6 beautiful children. A husband who I am very much in love with and loves me back just as much. We have a wonderful home blessed with a wonderful job.....the list could go on.
However, I still have to pull my pride up off the floor and hike up my humility, raise my chin and say "Yes, Lord, I heard you".
This time I won't make the "easy for me" decision. This time, it won't be about me at all. And while I know the road will be long and possibly hard, the reward - in the end- will be worth it. And the seeds sown will grow.... :)

Wonderful thoughts, my Sweet One!!! I love you very much!!
It's things like this that make your Dad very proud! I love you! More.
Hey! I just wanted to say that this was amazing to read! All the stories, pictures, and funny moments filled my heart. I understood every single moment that was serious, and I loved every joke. I am so glad that I have been with you all my life! (That reminds me of a song that goes: All my life, you've stood by me) I hope that we can set up my own account soon, because then I can blog, post pictures, etc and love it! This will really help my journey to become an author when I am old enough. Love you mom!
