WOW! It's been forever since I last posted.. Mainly because my life has been crazy.. We have moved more then a few times, had a few more kiddos and been thrown some curveballs along the way :).
I started the blog when we were up in Michigan and anticipating the birth of our first child.Crazy to think that my little soon to be baby will be 5 years old tomorrow!! Time flies, and goes by so past especially when I have been busy the past five years trying to raise these little humans, not lose sight of my husband, and trying to stairstep my way to a corner office in Corporate America.
I have learned a lot over the past five years the main point being that although I want to control EVERYTHING there is a higher power in charge and I should give my glory to God in all that he throws my way. The past month a curve ball was thrown that I would have never anticipated but with that curveball comes time to reflect, renew, and regroup on the priorities of my life. I have spent the past few weeks soaking up every minute with my kiddos, enjoying dialogue and quality time with my husband, and spending time on my faith.
Greg purchased this devotional for me awhile back but in the midst of life's craziness it got put in the normal stack of books on the nightstand. As I was spending time "organizing" I found the devotional and in this devotional was a parenting sermon that I had gotten off the internet from Brad McCoy. It's amazing sometimes how God leads us to where he wants us to be and wants us to see at the right time. The devotional is "One Thousand Gifts" by Ann Voskamp and its about finding everyday graces. I'm on day 4 and loving it thus far. The Brad McCoy sermon is one of my favorite ones, not only does it speak to the parenting aspect but also speaks to Colt putting his trust in God when things didn't go his way. Something that I desperately needed to read as I reflect on my 3 babies getting older and wanting them to grow up to be good Christian people but also reflecting on the trust we have to put in God.
Life is constantly changing and with 3 little ones under 5 we are moving 100 mph everyday all day long :).I'm excited to start my passion for blogging again and hope you come along the journey with me.
