I met with some other moms at the park this morning. My friend Shelley and I were the first ones there. We started talking about our lives, daily activities, etc. Shelley is a mother of 4 (her youngest being 3 weeks younger than my youngest). We came to the conclusion that we rely on caffeine to make it through our days. She even joked that she sometimes gives some to her kids, which creates chaos in her house, which helps her to rely on God more. Of course she was half joking when she was telling me this, but in a way it's true. If we somehow (although I don't know how) to keep our houses perfectly clean, keep our kids totally in line, then we may start to think we can do it on our own, when it is only through God that keeps us going. He reminds us in the midst of our chaos that we need Him so much!

Amen to that!
Hello there... It's funny you are writing about clean houses. I just spent my morning cleaning and re-cleaning the same two rooms in my house and guess what... they are stil not clean! Oh Well. I spent some great time with my boys though.
On the subject of blogging from the last entry- I love to write and this has been a wonderful outlet for me. I think it also has given my family (especially extended) a look into my everyday life- which they don't ever see. This is where I am in life and in my own sanctification and I hope it encourages any one of the four people who read it!!! I am not sure about the internet security stuff though. I do know that if someone wanted to find out where I live, they only have to type in my name or my husband's and we are listed in different places- so I guess I am thinking that if some nut wanted info, it would already be available without my disclosure.
I love the fact that I can keep up with you and your sweet family- and I am so thankful you are a blogger!
