So much happening in so little time.

So in continuation of my previous craft predictions, I am working on my artwork for the living room this week, it had been postponed for a week of rest last week due to running around like crazy the week before. I have to say that being an "almost" stay-at-home mom has it's work cut out for me because I haven't sat down to rest for a SECOND! But, in a postive retrospect of it all, I feel blessed and am pleased with the turn of events that have taken place in such a short time since February when I transitioned from full-time to part-time work:

I have learned to play basics of piano
I am now a youth pastor with my husband at our church
I am about to attend school for Graphic Design (that has a whole other story on its own!)
I am branching out and able to meet and invest more quality time with people that I never gotten the chance to before
I am gaining more accountability on my priorities in life and learning balance
I am receiving a chance to delve further into my craft passion-projects
I am able to have more time to work out and get better health for my body
I am given time to work on upkeeping my household better
I am learning to take time to work on my relationship with God more
And of course able to spend more time with my child!

So.. although I haven't completed or gotten close to exactly where I want to be quite yet on some of these venues, I am getting closer and I have achieved so much. I have been given so many blessings and am very thankful God has given me the opportunity to do this, but I have bathed it in prayer, so I do feel peaceful about this decision. Hopefully, once I start losing some weight and getting more fit I can work on our next child..motherhood has truly been a enjoyable experience.

Yes, I realize it will not be easy, but I have never slowed down anyway, so what's a new challenge?

This is more of a pondering of my own thoughts, but it is good to look at what I have done or am working on..goals are sooo important and give meaning to your life.

I would also like to brag on what God is doing in our church. It has been a wonderful experience just to partake in what he is doing. We got to give 105 families free food this last Wed, and I truly loved every bit of it...





when they said it is better to give than to receive, it is so true! We basically had a truckload of over 7,000 lbs of food to give away and were able to give more out after these families had left.


Not only that, but the money that was spent to provide this ended up being covered later by local businesses that wanted to participate!
I am glad for this journey and am excited for what's around the next bend.. Onward!

Welcome





Welc
ome to my babble blog! Here you will find: the random musings of a full-time stay-at-home mom and wife/part-time leasing specialist for three apartment communities, all-the-time crafter, whole-hearted worshipper, in-progress follower of Jesus Christ, and spontaneous hyper individual.

Because there are just so many facets of me..
