"Piles" of Me

Some days it feels as though there are piles of things to "do" all around me...ok maybe because there are piles of things to do...but the piles I am talking about are metaphorical "piles" or a list rather...




(some may be similar but I wanted to be specific)


Things To Do/Live By:

• teach my kids right from wrong
• teach my kids to follow God and Jesus
• be the best mother and wife I can be
• lead by example
• take time every day to just enjoy what God has given me
• not tell lies, even small ones
• be thankful, even in the middle of chaos
• say, "I love you" more than I criticize 
• to remove as much drama from our lives as possible, and not contribute to it
• be the best christian woman I can be
• do my very best to provide for little Sophia while she is making me her home
• educate Phillip (and Hannah) better than he (and she) could be educated at school
• go to church more
• not use foul language, even taking the Lord's name in vain
• to remember to do our couples devotional EVERY SINGLE NIGHT
• to not use generic prayers for meals just so we can eat faster
• to not try to fit in, but to stand out as my own person who does not change for anyone

There are more, but that's enough for now. I just want people to know ME. I would rather you hate me for who I am, then like me for who I am not. 

Taking a look around me, I see a world falling apart... but together with my wonderful husband- we are holding our family together and that is all that matters. 

I think that maybe putting this "pile" together in the blog, might help me to remember who I want to be for God, myself, my children and my husband.
