To God be the Glory

In the hustle and bustle of this holiday season, I am reminded to stop and thank God for all that he has done in my life. This year it has been so evident that He has been working in my life. I know that He has been with me always, but I have not been able to see Him past myself! I am humbled by the grace that He has extended to me. I am honored to have the ability to ask for forgiveness, and to go before His throne giving glory to Him!

I pray that as this year comes to an end, and a new one starts, that we will all remember to give God the glory!! I am making a resolution to give thanks in every situation, and give God the glory no matter what the situation is!! I am wanting my girls to see me as an example of a strong christian woman, so that they will be strong when they grow up. I also want the girls to know that no matter what happens in life, God will be with them, and they will have Him to help them get thru the tough times!!

Merry Christmas to you all from our family to yours!!

Tis the Season

Times have been really hard lately, but of course it has to get better. The girls and I have been doing our thing, sticking to our routine, and finally i am realizing that Christmas is around the corner. We are headed to mom and dad's on Friday for christmas with them and then coming back here for Christmas eve and christmas morning. I am not enjoying the whole splitting up of holidays, as a mother, and someone who loves Christmas, I am not looking forward to christmas day. I guess though it is what we do with the time we have together. I have tried to keep all the traditions the same, and as usual there are not many more traditions that we could add this year. We have our Elf on a Shelf, We do the christmas eve gift of new pajamas, and reindeer food, cookies for santa, and all the other little things that make the holidays the holidays!

We have been dealing with the sickness for a while.
Emma has had : walking pneumonia, and Pink eye
Abbi: has been well!! who would have thought
Me: currently I have Strep throat, a kidney infection, and sinus infection

Yay for illness!! Luckily Emma has gotten over her stuff reatively quickly, but Me on the other hand, I am not feeling so hot! Hopefully by christmas santa will bring me good health.


Hopefully everyone else is having a great holiday season!!
