Happy Birthday Matt
It's my brother's birthday today...he's 38 years old! 38 years worth of laughs from this only brother of mine. Growing up with Matt was always an adventure. My Mom would always say how very "tired" he would make her. He still makes her "tired"...haha. He has a unique way of making everything funny no matter how you look at it. He is creative, smart, witty and quite the jokester. He's a sign-maker; he makes fabulous signs and earns a living for his family by doing this, while staying home to be with their son Matthew. I am so proud of the man Matt has become. He is a fabulous husband and father and he has been the best brother a sister could ask for. Happy Birthday Matt - was hoping to get you a coonskin hat for your big day...it's never too late, right? Have a terrific day!
It's a Wonderful Life
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.
Colossians 3:23
This verse is sticking with me today for some reason. Maybe because I don't always know for sure what my "calling" is in this world. I know I was made to be a Mom and a Wife. As for anything else, I'm not sure. I quit my job last week. It just didn't work out for me there. I didn't feel connected, didn't feel like I belonged. The staff, they were wonderful people but something was missing from my perspective. I was plugging along there, doing my job, doing what I was supposed to be doing but just wasn't happy. I was not going to be a dancer and for some reason I felt like if I wasn't going to dance, then I should not be there. There were other reasons of course but they don't need explaining. So, here I am again...back home, where I know is where I belong. So I will concentrate on this verse from Colossians and I will work at the following things with my WHOLE heart to make my "stay at home Mom" career work. It is what I was made to do!
*BUDGET
*HOUSEHOLD CHORES
*GIRLS SCHEDULES
*HOME ORGANIZATION
Thank you Lord for blessing me with such a wonderful life and forgive me if I don't always realize it.
