So I came to the conclusion that I LOVE BEING MOMMY!  I love everything about it!  I love my kids so much and I love helping them to become what God has destined them to be.  

Right now this is who I am.  It took me awhile to be OK with this.  I was constantly searching out who I wanted to be instead of just following what God has me being.

I'm a "stay at home working mom".  I love it!  At times I miss the social interaction but having my sweet Harmony with me at home and having the freedom to go to all Joel's school activities has been a blessing.

This year I am going to really embrace who I am and who God is creating me to be.  I can only imagine what God has in store for 2012.  Each year has had its ups and downs.  It's how life is, BUT WITH GOD I know that He has great things in mind.  I have been blown away by His faithfulness and love.  I am thankful for what God has given me.  He has given me far more than what I could imagine.  

You know the phrase "Let go and let God."  Who doesn't?  So why not do it!  I bet you'll totally be amazed at what happens.  It doesn't mean you won't have hardships because you will.  We live in a fallen world and life is going to throw things at you.  
But in those times God can give you peace... if you let Him.  

I love my husband and the example he leads.  He knows that God has him right where He wants him.  He knows this because he is a praying man that is constantly in God's word.  He knows God's voice and is obedient to it.  I have struggled with this.  I always feel like there is something more.  Which there is... but it's all in God's timing.  Wow!  I can relax now.  I am so glad that I don't have to have it all figured out!  

No... we don't have a big house and tons of money but we have our needs met and a life full of God's goodness.  We are truly grateful.  God did not call us to serve ourselves but to serve others and "us" is not just meaning Ryan and I but ALL OF US.  You are created to impact the people around you.  Look where you are now and see who God has in your life.  Ask God what your purpose is.  How are you to help, serve, influence, empower, direct, lead, and love people?

"You, my brothers, were called to be free.  But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love.  The entire law is summed up in a single command:  "Love Your neighbor as yourself."  Galatians 5:13 & 14 NIV
