Life is Crazy…Life is fun…Life is Easy…Life is Hard. These are all things I have figured out and that make life perfect. You never know what day is going to be the day that changes your life, and in the same sense every day changes your life. Every choice you make leads you down a path, but is it the same path no matter what choice you make? In the short answer yes, God has everyones life planned out from the moment you are born until the second you die, but He gives you choices through out your life to make it the best you can. I spent a large part of my life worrying about what people thought about me, and how to please everyone. It tooks awhile for me to realize that I don’t need to please everyone. God is the only one that I have to answer to in the end, so if I spend my life worrying about people here I’m not putting my energy into pleasing Him. I married a wonderful man and have wonderful children. Sometimes I know I don’t give them the time and attention they deserve because of my own selfishness. It kills me because I can see how fast they are growing up. The other night a saw a cup of flowers the kids had picked in the yard, and it brought tears to my eyes, because one day those won’t be flowers they pick for mommy they’ll just be weeds in the yard. I dread that moment. I dread when the “I love yous” are few and far between. I know it has to happen I just need to make the best of the time I am given, and when I face judgement I don’t want God to look at me and ask “Why did you waste the precious gifts I gave you?” Today is a new day. I’m going to give my family the time and attention they deserve. I’m going to give my husband the love and respect that he needs to be a good man. I’m going to take the time to spend with my children just playing and having fun. I’m going to laugh as much as possible and do my best to make a difference in the world. Even if it’s just with my children, because they will become adults and make their mark on the world. I guess I have learned that my children are my greatest mark.
That’s awesome Jenny and so inspiring to others!! This new leaf you guys have turned over, I believe, will change your lives and your relationships forever. Your most important job on earth is your family. Never forget that. If you succeed there, you’ve succeeded in life. Don’t withhold God from yours or their lives. From Him all good things flow. God honors all those who put Him first. Welcome to, the blessed life.
Know that we love you guys and are always here for you. This is an awesome journey huh!!!!
