]]> Our lives… are kind of turned topsy-turvey right now. Getting ready for our impending move to the Philippines, selling our house with no idea where we will go once we do, pregnancy that is full of morning sickness and, if I am REALLY being honest, a little bit of fear and trepidation and many prayers that this sweet blessing will stay put and grow to a healthy full-term babe. Life is a whirl-wind.

Most days my house is too.

And my mood oftentimes matches the state of my house. And I fear that I’m not giving my children the opportunity to see God really shine through all of this.

Am I trampling their sweet spirits because of my down-trodden attitude?

Am I squelching their creativity because I’m having a bad day?

Am I using this opportunity to water and nurture through the crazy or am I letting the rust set in?

I am so aware that moments of life pass so fast. I am also painfully aware that there are many moments I choose to let opportunities of teachable moments slip through my fingertips, only to realize too late that I’ve missed the chance to let HIS glory shine through me.

May my eyes be open wide so as not to miss those moments.

How do you keep from feeling guilty when you desire to be home keeping your home and family and shy away from being so involved at church? I don’t mean regular church services or once in a while, revivals, etc. I have just been feeling very guilty lately about stepping back from a few things at church that tends to take time from my family. I have felt in the past that I have been so busy and unable to maintain my home to where it is sometimes difficult to have friends/family over due to an unorganized chaotic home. But yet, you want to be a good model for your children and let them see your involvement in working in the church. Where is the balance??
