this day

I must admit I am daily amazed by my children. Somehow they can always make me laugh hysterically when I think I'm at the end of my rope. The kids simultaneously tackled me. All four of them...I went down pretty quickly. I don't quite know how they coordinated the event. It was so much fun. They tackled me and tickled me and I was laughing so hard. I'm not ticklish, but it was so funny having the four of them laughing as they went "tickle tickle tickle" to me!

This day has been a day of beginnings. I joined a woman's bible study at my church. We're going through this book called "becoming a woman of contentment". I have been in dire need of that. I am so sick of Christian women cliche's or overall fakeness when it comes to women and faith. I mean, lets be honest...many women wear masks and pretend that everything is great when they're at church, in order to seem at peace and like they're content in their circumstances. I definitely believe there is a time for mourning. I believe that it is not anti Christ to have sadness and stress and pain. It is important to experience the emotions, and lean on your sisters in Christ. I do however, also believe, it is critically important to never lose site of our foundation of hope. Life is NOT meaningless. Christ is the basis behind our every things. And the hope in times of need.

I talked to Mike today. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful man. He was giving me such heavenly peace. He reminded me of how much God is in control and how He is our fate decider. I thank God that I married to a man that I can share my faith with. I don't know how women do it when they don't share that. I love being able to pray with Mike and go through my faith struggles with Mike. I told him today that I really admire him. I have never known a man to take his role in life with such significance. He strives so hard to be a good leader for his men, a good husband, and a good example for our children. I am so grateful. God is so good. He is so thoughtful when He picks our mates. He has never said that our lives will not be hard. But I have been blessed that He decided to give me a partner that is my soul mate in every way.
