His Love

It's only Monday and this week has already been hard!!

Our kids argue...ALOT!!! They are both growing up :(  They have issues with friends, issues with school work and the list goes on. I know the teenage years are going to be a blast!!

Sometimes it brings out the worst in us as parents and that makes my heart hurt!! As I was driving in to work this morning a thought crossed my mind. As hard as it has been lately, I wouldn't trade my kids for anything in this world. They are priceless treasures entrusted to us by our Lord. Sometimes I think He has a lot more faith in me than I deserve.

It makes me think how I must break His heart daily with my words and actions. I am not a perfect child of God but He loves me anyway. I will never be perfect and neither will my kids but He loves us anyway!! I am so thankful for His amazing grace!! I don't deserve it but He gives it freely. I pray I can give grace to my kids like He has given to me.

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:7-10

Random update

I've neglected my blog for a while now so I thought I would do a random list of updates.....

• Eric has been in Richmond this week for in-service and thankfully will be home today. He had an upper GI done last Thursday and found out he has an ulcer! Thankfully, he is on medicine and seems to be feeling much better.

• I'm staying very busy with  my family, work and Origami Owl(my other job). The Lord is blessing my Origami Owl business and I was promoted to Team Leader this month!!

• Caleb is playing Upward basketball again this year. Basketball is his favorite sport to play!! He is doing great and scored 10 points and had 2 assists, 2 rebounds and 3 steals in his last game!!

• Emily started "Cheernastics" last week and LOVES it!!!! She is so excited and says she needs "private lessons so she can get her back handspring faster". LOL She is 100% girl and keeps us on our toes!

We are BUSY, BUSY, BUSY!!  Hopefully I can be better at updating in the future.
