Jan. 2, 2009 - I'm still around...

I haven't fallen off of the earth!! Have I been completely deserted, I mean it's been months since I've been blogging. I miss it but life has been busy. It always is in the fall. Holidays, an anniversary and 5 kiddos and a hubby with a bday. Not to mention jumping back into school, co-op, choir, gymnastics, royal rangers and missionettes! It's been a whirlwind. I'm not saying that is a good thing. Believe me, I'd rather be home. It is a struggle to draw the line with what to do and what not to do. The kids have individual desires and things they love, My hubby and I have things that are meaningful to us, bible studies and small group meetings. I just try to focus on what God wants me to be doing and looking for things that are really meaningful.

I have been growing closer to our Lord and he has been teaching me and opening my eyes and it' s been hard to come out of my comfort zone sometimes, it's been hard to be disturbed from my normal thinking but it is sooo good to feel God pulling me closer to him as I desire more and more to be closer to Him! I could say a million things about that and yet no words do it justice.

We are all doing well at the Moffittzoo. School has been going great this year. I'm telling ya....I love My Fathers World. It's simplicity is a delight. Elizabeth is reading more and more and Joey has begun short a and u words...yay!! He has caught on well.

Emma and Jake (3 and 22 months) are sometimes hard to manage. Emma is a fire-y little thing. Jake is my snugglebug but he has a bit of a tude these days. We are all on a screwed up schedule....such is life. I'm trying.

Hey, it's a new year, right?!?!?!

I have several resolutions. My schedule is always one. I  want to lose weight as does most of the world, sigh. I want to read through the Old Testament and most important I want hear God and obey. I want to read His word and obey, like James 1:22 says: Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.

So let me know I'm not alone in blogger world and my deepest apologies for all of those times you hit my link and saw September.....something.

Happy New Year!!

Amy,
Wow it is so good to hear from you!! I hope you had a great Christmas. I do most of my blogging late at night or early in the moring! It is my out. LOL I enjoyed reading your post catching up so to speak. I know what you mean about God wanting us out of our comfort zones! We are moving because my husband has been called to be a worship pastor at a church in a neighboring city. He is part time right now and they are hoping to bring him on full time by May.
Thanks for keeping in touch.
