Failure



He said to me, "My grace is enough for you, because my power is made perfect in weakness." So I'll gladly spend my time in weakness so that Christ's power can rest on me. 
2 Corinthians 12:9


Through my failure, God is always glorified.
When I feel my lowest, God is the first name that comes into my head.
Through my weakness, I am still strong because of Christ's love that has been poured into my heart. (Rom. 5:5)

While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

When I didn't yet accept Christ into my heart.. He still died for me, He still loved me and He still wanted me. So when I feel like I am completely failing at everything I am doing, Jesus Christ is still Lord! He will always remain the same; today, yesterday, tomorrow. 

 I may fail but Christ never changes. That's the power in my life. No matter where life takes me, I know my God is always the same and I can always count on Him to be there and put all my pieces back together. 
This life isn't about getting approval from anyone around us. It's about making sure we are keeping the commandments, doing what Christ is leading us to do and glorifying His name, always.

Great are you, Lord. 
All things are possible. 
Nothing compares to the love of God. 
With just One Name we can dismiss the enemy! 
God is good; always.

Day One of Homeschooling

Image
  We did it!  Our first day of homeschool is complete. I woke up early and made the kiddos French toast and cut up some fruit. Excuse me, Luke cut you some fruit as you can see in our new vlog post! Luke woke up at 6 and I tried to get him back to sleep but that was clearly a fail as he left the room ten minutes after I did. We ate breakfast and Jack was still asleep. I thought for sure he would sleep late and we could start school without him.  😂 He woke up shortly after and then we were all on the same page by then. We took our pictures outside (Jack was not having it). And then our day began!  The kids were so excited to see their little gifts and the homeschool area all set up. We started our morning with a read aloud. We read Ten Apples up on Top since our topic is apples this quarter. The kids all got a composition book that we will use for the morning read alouds. They can draw or write whatever comes to mind as I read to them. It was cute to see what they al...

Where Have I Allowed Myself To Go?

Wow!  I haven't written forever and I pray I can get back to writing more because what that did for me was incredible. That was my quiet time where I could draw away from all the worries in life and just focus on God and what He has done for me.  This past year or so has been such a struggle for me. Marriage is HARD! I always knew it would be hard but not this hard! It got even harder when I drew away from God. I thought I could do this on my own when obviously this is a precious gift from God and why would I ever think I could do this on my own. I've struggled so much with balancing everything in my life. I've also struggled throughout this pregnancy. I have never been so emotional in my life. I feel like I lost all control over everything that was in order in my life. And I know the exact reason why. It has nothing to do with pregnancy or hormones. It has to do with my faith. I never denied to anyone or myself that I'm not struggling with my faith. I know for a...

Who Are We?

Image
I listened to a sermon on the 4th and I have been trying to put all my thoughts together to write a post about it because it was so meaningful for me. It helped me realize a lot about myself and my faith. I am still trying to get all my ducks in a row for that post but I just wanted to give a little bit of encouragement. It seems like most sermons preached lately are about this craziness but out of that craziness there is a lot to learn! In Exodus 13-16 we read about how Pharaoh finally let the Israelites out of Egypt. All the Isrealites wanted was to be let go and what was one of the first things they did when they got out of Egypt? They complained. They started complaining about how they 'missed' things from Egypt.  Exodus 16:3 says   The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the  Lord ’s hand in Egypt!  There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food  we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assem...
