Busy, busy, busy...

It is Friday and the end of a very long week. Sometimes I don't know what I did with all the time, but if I really think about it I can come up with some things that I did or just know that I spent alot of time chasing my toddler around. I really do enjoy having a full life. I don't think I would like it if I didn't have the things I do to keep me entertained and going every day. I never thought being a stay-at-home mom would keep me so busy though. But when you add all the other things we are involved in these days it does add up to alot. Being a wife and mother and keeping up with a house and even just one child right now is a much bigger chore than I first imagined. Then add our church activites: Sunday school teacher, youth ministry, praise team, leading the moms ministry, small groups, children's ministry team, and just trying to be social and get to know as many people as possible. Wow, that is a pretty long list right there. Then add that I am still a Pampered Chef Consultant part-time. I have had to cut back on my business a little right now as I prepare for a new baby in a few months, but I still want to remain active in that too. Even though all these things can seem to pile up and at times might be tiring, I love it all. I would not do anything different right now. I have some energy at this stage in my pregnancy, and I am excited for the future. I enjoy all the things I do and I can keep it somewhat flexible when life gets overwhelming. One thing that is helping right now is that my husband's ministry is going so well. I invest alot of emotion into being his support and when things are going well it helps our lives so much. We are not dealing with any big criticisms lately, and God willing, things will keep moving in the positive direction that they are now. Lord, please continue blessing us and help me to enjoy my life and do things that honor you always! Amen.
