Catch up!

Wow! I'm way behind in the blogging world! Oh, wait..... I'm way behind in the real world too! Seems to be a prevailing theme in my life! Behind in laundry, cleaning in general, fashion (what's that again?), cooking (ha!), getting to bed (it's after midnight right now), and pretty much everything else I could think of! I think I've decided that I can continue blogging, but that I cannot ready others blogs. It only serves the purpose of reminding me how good other mothers are at things and how ill-prepared I am to be a Godly teacher to my children. I'm just not a teacher at heart and those things do not come to me naturally. I don't naturally make teaching moments out of everyday tasks, situations, etc. I don't know all the catchy songs for clean-up time, being patient (thanks Ash!), and learning the days of the week (Nat).
I don't have the cutest clothes for my kids, I don't get the cutest pics taken of my kids, I don't make gingerbread houses with them (seen two blogs in the last 10 minutes with pics of theirs), I don't even get pics of my kids in the blogs! Maybe these are things that will begin to come more naturally to me as the boys get older (have to keep reminding myself they are only 1 and 2). I want to be an example to them and not just someone who tells them what they should be doing. This means I need to have my life in order. I don't have the answers, except that I need to be spending more time with God. He has the answers and He's not hiding them from me....if I spent time looking for them I know He would reveal them to me.
