It's May Already???

I am so amazed at how quickly time flies! I always think I have all this time to get the things done I want to do...but by the time I have finished what I need to do... the day, or week, or month are gone!! I often wonder how things get so hectic.

I sometimes wish I knew how to slow the clock down a little...my children are growing up so fast! I don't want to miss a minute of what they are doing, learning, experiencing, or of watching how God is growing them and maturing them! I have so much fun with each of them... they are all so wonderfully unique and I know God has amazing plans for them. I feel so blessed that God has let me be an important part in this stage of His plan for each of them.

May is here and going fast..I know that I needed a reminder to cherish every minute! I don't want to get caught up in the stress and chaos and miss the beauty of another school year ending and another chapter in all our lives closing! I am going to take time to draw on the sidewalks with chalk, get a milkshake with my teens, and read funny stories to my little boy, and go on quiet walks with my husband! I hope you will too! We can't slow time down...but we can sure spend more of it playing and laughing!

Loving God, loving life!

I Love Spring !!

I love this time of year when everything feels fresh and new. I can't believe how long it has been since I typed on this blog!!!

I just wanted to get on today and remind anyone who might read this that God is sooo good! I am reminded so much this time of year of the hope He gives! When you think of the ugly bulb you put in the ground that sprouts into the most beautiful, delicate flower it has to take your breath away that God is doing that in us also!!! He takes the ugly away and leaves the good and beautiful part there! I know that so many of the things he is doing in my life that seem so hard are to prepare and grow me!!

I thought we could all use a reminder!

God Bless!
