I have been feeling a bit like this lately and as I am running to God in these moments, he is convicting me of the ways that I need to change but also pouring His infinite and unconditional love over me! God is also working lots on helping me to just be me and to stop comparing myself with others and trying to live up to who they are, instead of who God made ME to be (that one might be a lifelong journey!). I'm not sure what I would do without God! I know that though my failures seem so big at times that He is an overcomer and in my weaknesses His power is made perfect.
I arrived at these thoughts tonight as I sat down to FINALLY catch up on my blog. Keeping up with this blog is NOT something I am good at! I want to be good at, I love posting and reliving fun moments that we experience with friends and family but I'm just not good at it! As I made chore charts for my kids the other day I decided that I probably need to make one for myself! Haha! I'm not kidding! I would definitely putting "keeping up with my blog" on it. :)
Well, I better start putting some pics up or I am going to finish night and once again feel discouraged but all that I did NOT get done!
SWEET KARA'S BIRTHDAY!
For Kara's 3rd Birthday I took her to get her first real haircut and get her ears pierced! It was SO fun, for both of us! :)
The finished product! She did so well and her hair looked so cute by the end! Our sweet lady from our church, Kerry, cut her hair and did a wonderful job!
Then off to get her ears pierced...
Boy was she excited as she held the earring options! I had to fight hard my urge to make her pick the earrings I wanted her to pick. In the end she picked the pink flowers because of course pink in her favorite color.
She cried a little bit but as soon I told her she could pick out a Hello Kitty headband the crying stopped! Funny how that works. :)
What a joy and a blessing this sweet girl is to my life! She makes me laugh every day, when I'm crying she asks why and he joy quickly brings a smile to my face and she loves to dance and every night before bed we have to sing songs about Jesus. :)
And, of course, she had a Hello Kitty birthday cake.
THE TWINS' 7th BIRTHDAY:
Trenton looks thrilled in this pic! Trenton and Jason are the hardest kids in the world to get good pics of where they are both smiling in the same pic. Seriously, this causes many motherly moments of frustration!
These two are so fun to be around! They truly live life to the fullest and rarely run out of energy. I cannot believe how fast they are growing up! Sometimes I just want to freeze them right where they are cause they are growing up too quickly! This is one of the reasons I hate behind on this blog...I want to capture every moment but life moves way to quickly to do that. I want to be able to look back and remember every detail. I love these two so much and find it such a joy to be able to raise twins. God is truly growing these boys into mighty men of God and I'm so proud of both of them!
Lots more posts to come in an attempt to catch up before Christmas!
