I can honestly say that I love life. It's not always been easy, but as I look back, I can say I've learned a lot along the way. Currently, my trial is trying to remember that there is a time for everything in life - there is a season for everything. There are so many things I want to get done, but I need to remember that right now is my time to enjoy my children and my husband. I have lots of goals, while although worthwhile often take too much time and attention from my family. I am trying to find a balance of getting everything in that I feel that I should. But I have to remind myself that some things are more important than others and to include my children as part of those goals throughout the day. My family is the greatest joy of my life and continually learning how to be a better mom and wife is a constant goal of mine. I am so grateful for the Lord's gentle reminders that there will be time to accomplish what I need to throughout my life, each in it's own season.
"
We have seasons in our lives as well. Some are warm and pleasant. Others are not. Some of the days in our lives are as beautiful as pictures in a calendar. And yet there are days and circumstances that cause heartache and may bring into our lives deep feelings of despair, resentment, and bitterness.
...
Still, we will have to pass through all seasons—both pleasant and painful. But no matter the season, as followers of Jesus the Christ, we will rest our hope upon Him as we walk toward His light."
