Getting back on...

Its been a long time since I have shared anything on this blog and I think that I am ready again. I have had quite a year. Since I last wrote I have moved into a new home and had my third child, a little boy. Life comes at you fast, quoted from the commercial, is a very true statement. I am feeling that I can't quite keep up with it sometimes. I think back to last year at this time and if I knew then all I know now I am not sure that I would have had the strength to do all that needed to be done. That is the good and encouraging thing about God actually He knows whats coming and if we rely on him he will give us the strength needed to make it. Now sometimes he does this in obscure ways, humbling us to bring us to his feet to remember that we need him and only him to get us through the day. I hear in church on Sunday that the reason there is so much stress in life is because of the preconceived ideas we place on situations. For example I want my kids to behave just so when we go to church and so I place a high amount of stress on the situation thinking there is only one way they should behave. What if instead of being stresses about the situation I trust that God will lead me and show me how to deal with the situation when it arises. Am I lacking a certain trust factor? Well its good to be back and I will do better this year at writing my thoughts.
