Time Flies

Time Flies

What a cliche. What a truth.  Been over two months since  I last wrote. Day to day it’s hard to see a change in life. but boy when you get about 60 or 90 days down the road, it’s then that you see a change.

Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it isn’t great, but it’s inevitable.  You’ll probably hear me talk a bunch about change, I resist it so much.  I need to learn to embrace it.

This summer we have not done anything fun at all really. Been quite uneventful as far as fun stuff.

Been a lot of changes on the family side.  I feel closer to my family now than I ever have. Not just on my side, but on my husbands as well.

Been going through some things with my kids, but I am getting an even clearer glimpse of God’s deep unconditional love for me through the trials and happenings of my kids.

My thoughts tonight are random. I have so much I want to pour out. So much deeper I want to go.

My uncle is back home after being moved away for 36ish years.

Switched from iPhone to Android. Literally I bounce between what was I thinking to oh this is neat. haha

My mom is facing some serious medical issues, we’ll know more in November. I am praying. Praying that the results are not what they seem.

My kids are going through growing phases, teenager stuff, pre-teen stuff. Just ugh.

Still having to make hard decisions where business is concerned.

My family and I are still trying to find a church home. I love church, I believe in it. I know some people have been burned and put out with church, but I really wish they would give it a go. God’s word says Let’s not give up meeting together as some are in the habit of doing. I am not giving up.

No matter what I face, God is good and His love and mercy is new everyday.

So what’s new with you?

 

 

What is a father

A father isn’t someone whose fathered a child, it’s a man that puts himself last no matter what the cost.

It’s a man that lovingly disciplines his child no matter how much it hurts his heart to do so.

It’s a man that gives his time to teach them the things of this life or pour into their child’s hobby when it’s the only extra time he had but he gave it away.

It’s the man who gets up to work whether sick or well to make sure his family is taken care of.

It’s the man who gets up to go to work putting on shoes that are long overdue for replacing, but he carries on in them anyway because his child’s feet are constantly growing and he’d rather see them in shoes that fit properly.

It’s the man who doesn’t take the last helping of food, but looks at his family to make sure they’ve had enough.

It’s the man who stops to listen to what their child says even when he’s deep into a television show or game.

It’s a man that leads his family on his knees by seeking the ONE who created them all.

It’s a man who teaches the most by actions and not words.

Any man can spend a night of fun and passion fulfilling his needs and desires, but it takes a real man to spend the rest of his life fulfilling the needs and desires of his family.
