Learning

I am a stay at home mom. I am fortunate/blessed/lucky whatever way you see it. And I see it that way too. But also I get run down. I get tired. But probably most of all unappreciated. If you work out of the home you can get a raise or something along those lines. SAHMs don't get that. Which most days is fine by me. But then there are those days you feel like you killed it. And nobody seems to notice. . .

 

But someone does notice. God notices. More and more lately I have to remind myself of this. I do it for our Lord. He makes me able to stay home. Somehow when numbers on paper don't seem like they're gonna work then they do. 

Today, I choose to clean, mow, weed whip, grocery shop, change a diaper, launder that endless pile of laundry because I can. I can do it for God. 

1 Corithians 10:31

"So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."

The Why

I am not sure what or why I am doing this blog yet. I just know I need to do it. For God, for me. I want to speak/type truth. I want to have an outlet for my yearning heart. A place where I can put my thoughts and even prayers where others can read them. Not because I think that my thoughts are great. But, because my struggles are real and I have them. My daily grind is tiring. Why not have an outlet for me? Possibly others as well.

When I am frustrated I need to find Jesus. When my kids are on my last nerve I need to find Jesus. When the dishes need done or floors to be swept or dinner cooked, and kids need a referee I need Jesus.

I am not a writer by nature so grammar will be horrendous. Spelling may be off and heck I WILL use saw/seen in the wrong place. But this is me. 100% through and through. Oh and most of the time I won't proof read because if I get the chance to type I will just click publish. Who knows when I will remember to do it if I don't then;)

My life is busy, Jess and I are raising 3 kids. We are raising kids to follow God. We have to direct them and help them flourish. Life is real good. But I struggle daily with different things. And those things will come through for you to read.

Word of God speak, let it pour down like rain.

The thoughts/words that come to each post will be genuine and real. I will speak honest truth in what I am feeling. If I can't be honest then it won't be up here.

And because this verse really hit home for me. I'll leave it at this;

"Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven--for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little"
