Learning for Fun

Today is going a bit better, yesterday afternoon I got my motivation back when I thought about my house looking like this before I brought the baby home.  I realized that it was going to look way worse after the baby came home, so I better step it up now.

 

I also just gave up with one of my girls (who shall remain unnamed).  We called Dad and he talked to her, and I prayed, and in about 10 min she decided to go ahead and do what I had been trying to get her to do for 2 hours.  I am glad I am not in this by myself.

 

Hannah and I also got to go out last night for a "date."  It is so rare to spend time with just her, it was so fun.  She is so animated, and sometimes I miss her personality amid the chaos.  A good reminder to try to take time out for each of them every day.

A Bible Verse

Now we have this treasure in clay jars, so that this extraordinary power may be from God and not from us. We are pressured in every way but not crushed; we are perplexed but not in despair; we are persecuted but not abandoned; we are struck down but not destroyed. We always carry the death of Jesus in our body, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. II Corinthians 4:7-10
