Life...........

I am so tired! Life is wearing me out and I feel like I can't keep up! Something always seem to get me down and I feel like the trials never end. But...............I am going to grow in the Lord. I want to leave you with scripture for those out there that might be struggling just like me!

Dear brothers and sisters, whenever trouble comes your way, let it be an opportunity for joy. For when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be strong in character and ready for anything.
James 1:2-4

Thank you Lord that you deem me worthy for trials! Bring me to the place you want me to be!

God Bless!

Another School Year Done!

I can't believe it this school year is already over. Trevor still has some school to finish up at home, but he will be a junior in high school, Bryson is a third grader, and Morgan is a first grader. Where does the time go? It seems like not so long ago I met Chris and became an instant family with our oldest Trevor who was only 7 at the time. Now Trevor is like a grown man. It is the strangest thing to watch your kid drive away in his car all by himself! I had a hard time with him driving. Chris and his mom Amy seemed to take to it better that I did. He would ask me to go driving with him, but I was too chicken! He is a very responsible driver, but I guess I just wasn't ready for him to be so grown up! He has grown up so fast. He is a great big brother. Bryson is 8 and to think about how fast Trevor has grown up just makes my head spin! I know other mom's out there can relate to what I am feeling. Bryson is trying to push his limits. He wants more freedom, and we do give him more, but it is so hard to let go! He wants to stay up later and do more things. I tend to be a little overprotective with all the kids. Bryson is in baseball right now and will play soccer in the fall. Morgan is our little princess. She has all the boys wrapped around her finger. Her and Bryson fight quite often. They have gotten into some knock down drag out fights. But they do love each other. Morgan loves when Trevor comes over. She always runs to him and gives him a big hug. She loves to sing and dance, but only at home. She wants to do a tennis camp this year! Thank God! I didn't think she would ever break out of her shell. Chris and I told the kids that this summer they could have all of June off, but come July they would have to do some kind of refresher work so they don't lose what they learned over the school year. I am still working, much to my dismay! That's okay. I just keep praying that some day I can be a stay at home mom again and get involved in the kids schools and also maybe some much needed girlfriend time while they are at school during the school year. It would be nice to get involved in a couple of Bible studies. I hope to start blogging more often than I was and visiting more people on their blogs! God bless!
