I Dropped Off The Face Of The Earth

Not really, but I am going through an unusual season right now. My oldest daughter is graduating and I am trying to potty train my two year old, I am speaking at a homeschool conference on Endurance and I also just took a twentieth anniversary trip with my husband, all while planning a kitchen remodel and finishing up the school year. So, although I know there are many women out there as busy as I, it has been an easy choice with this much going on to read aloud to the four year old instead of updating my blog.

I am thinking alot about endurance as I prepare for this conference. A friend of mine who seemed like a really godly mother and wife, left her husband and children about a year ago. As I throw a ball to my little girl I can't imagine the absolute insanity that would have made her feel that her decision to leave her children was wise or justified.

Psalm 100 has been an inspiration to me as I daily seek to understand how to run the race of life, I think that  much about our purpose and position is clarified here.
Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands!
Serve the Lord with gladness
Come before His presence with singing.
Know that the Lord, He is God
It is He who has made us and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him and bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.

To sum it up, God is very good, and we are His people, so let's serve Him with singing and thanksgiving.
