I know I am always blogging about my kids. Really...they are my life. Today it has hit me just how big of a responsibility my life is. I am leading two little girls through the foundational years of thier lives. Im not really scared....Im more honored that the Lord has blessed me so much. Sometimes I think things like "I wish I had been more successful with my career at family video" or "I wish I had time to just sit and read/write/sing" or "I wish I was more thrifty/artistic" because really all I do is feed the girls, change the girls, bathe the girls, clean, cook, clean, breath, clean and sleep (if I am lucky)....oh and clean. But honestly? I love that my life is what it is right now. I am so blessed to be able to stay home with them. Yes, sometimes we suffer a little bit financially because I have opted to stay at home, but isnt that worth something? If I can raise my girls to be honest, whole hearted, caring people who love the Lord...I think that is completely worth the time, effort, and lack of financial glory : ) I am doing the ultimate volunteer work right now. I am a mentor, teacher, guide, comfort, and friend. There will be time for other things later. BUT for now I will just fold clothes or teach Jubilee the alphabet....stay up in the wee hours of the morning trying to get Justice to sleep. Get up after an hour of sleep and make my hubby lunch. AND I will be thankful for it all.

Amen! Love your heart, Jean! It is so worth it. No one ever gets to the end of their life and says, "Oh I wish I had worked more or made more money." You will never regret being right where the Lord has you. Love you! And hope you do get some more sleep soon :)
