Leadership, Parades, and LACK of TIME!

Posted in Journal
What kind of example am I setting for my children about how to set priorities and organize my time?

I wonder....

I have confidence that God is bringing the right people and things into our lives at exactly the right time. 
We have been learning about what it means to be a godly leader.  One thing about a godly leader that really stood out to me was that for a godly leader, GOD is in control of the details.  Sometimes it seems like my whole life is DETAILS so hopefully GOD is in control of them all!

Part of our homeschool group is participating in a veteran's day parade next Saturday.  We spent most of last Saturday preparing the float and will be working again many days this week.  I'm glad we are able to be a part of this.  I think it is a good thing.  The time involved has been much more than I anticipated, taking away time from other things that I feel are more important.  It is difficult to know how to manage a situation like this.  I feel that ~TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING CAN BECOME A BAD THING.

We are finishing up our Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes.  The kids have really gotten involved with this and are praying for the children who will receive our boxes.  May God bless them and bring
the Light of the World to them.

I had a really wonderful visit with my friend Alicia yesterday afternoon.  God is really blessing her. She reminded me that we need to seek God about every thing (the details) in our lives
including what we are to present our kids as "school".
 She has helped me to gain a new perspective for myself and my family too.  Thank God for good friends!

be asking myself the same question as my family and I get tangled into so many things every year end.. and it is starting as early as this month. Too many things and such... too little time. What are my priorities, which ones will please God and give glory to Him? How does it reflect to my kids? Thanks for this post. It is a strong reminder to me.

God bless!
