Oh my goodness. The "shoulds" are killing me today. I should put away the laundry. I should be spending more time playing with Steven. I should call this person and that person and this other person... I should spend Steven's nap time resting. I should spend Steven's nap time working. I should call our insurance agent about our life insurance. I should go to the grocery store. I should wait til Stony gets home so I don't have to take the boys... I should go see Stony. I should make my parents dinner since they have been driving for 16 hours. I should make our dinner. I should actully make dinner for tomorrow too since I will be at work all day. I should. I should. I should.
Good grief!! I should sounds like evil words intended to keep me down. None of the "shoulds" are bad things. Just things that I am trying to decided if I should do or not. I just finished my devotional this afternoon. Her "step out instructions": For the rest of the day, try to filter every word, decision, and activity with your kids through the grid of being like Jesus--and nothing else.
Sigh. That's good. That is what I am going to do. No more shoulds. Only Jesus, me, and my kids. Thank you, Jesus.
About Me
- Stony and Brit
- We got married in the fall of 2007. God blessed us with a house to buy in the summer of 2008. We live close to our families whom we love very much. We have 2 wild boys, Deacon and Steven; both who teach us more about ourselves and about God then we could have ever imagined. And we have 2 dogs--Butter and Sadie. We know we are so blessed and loved; we try to keep that at the forefront of our minds as we go about our daily lives.
