Does it ever feel like you're in a rut??? I sure feel like one lately. It is such a shame that so much of life is just a big built in routine that leaves no time for the things that truly matter. You have to get out of your box and take a step away from the routine and make the time for those things (or more importantly ~ people) that really matter. Where are the real treasures of life? Surely not the gold and silver that are stored up on this earth ~ those seem to not matter much especially in our current day with economic crisis. The true treasures are those that are not always tangible ~ the ones that are stored up in Heaven. The lessons that we teach our children, the time spent with a loved one, or more importantly a stranger, those times that we are furthering the work of our Lord and Savior ~ these are the true treasures of life! It is to unfortunate that life gets in the way of this. The life of routine, the rat race! So, as you have probably guessed that it what

So what does Godly living mean for a woman? That is the answer that I am searching for. Our last women's group we looked at 1 Peter 3:1-6. 2"as they observe your chaste and respectful behavior...4 but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God."

Until then I will turn my eyes to Him, (try to) sit back and let His plan unfold, and be content with whatever that p

I am completely new to this whole concept of Blogging. I have kept up to date with many others, so now it is my time to keep friends near and far up to date on whats going on in our family. Warning, I'm not sure how regular the posts will be :) I am wife to one and mother to three. I am learning what it means to be a Biblical Woman. I am in a season of life where I yearn to know what God says my role is as a help mate to my husband and a mother to my three beautiful girls. As I learn more, I am faced with more difficult decisions to put off the world and put on God's best. But as I have learned long before I was a believer, the right things are rarely the easiest. I look forward to whatever this may open up, and hope that everyone reading enjoys! Here's to the start of my blog!
