Balance & Peace

So how do you juggle homeschool, church, Bible study, meal planning and prep for a large family, having time to spend with the husband and kids, quiet time with God, and quality time to myself? I don't. So how do I balance my craziness in life and be at peace about it? I DON'T! I definitely do not have it all together. And I really never feel like it but lately I have started putting God at the start of my day. Makes me think of Matthew 6:33-34 " But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." So what does that mean to me or to you or any other busy person on this planet. Get what you can get done today. There are some things that can wait. Deep cleaning the house can wait until the next day. Instead of checking your facebook before you ever get out of bed, read a devotional on your phone and pray before your feet hit the floor. Remember life does not have to be something that is dreadful. You should enjoy your life. Make the best of it. There are just some things that are not that important that can not wait. If you ever begin to feel overwhelmed take a step back, breathe, look at the blessings life has brought you and be thankful. Remember that you are only in this season for a short time. Laugh, Love, Hug, and Smile a lot!  Anyway, that is enough of my soap box. Hubby and I are about to embark on a whole new journey in our lives. We have gone through and have done a lot in the short time that we have been married but this, is new, fun, exciting and scary all at the same time. We are going to join the homeowners club! YAY! So we love FL so much and hubbs likes his job we are going to plant some roots and maybe stay here for a while. GREAT NEWS!!! Had a little bit of a scare and thought we were going to be relocating to a place that is well... not so warm but a lot of praying and advice from our elders we decided that staying here for a few more years would be the best for our little family. This way hubbs can get a few more years in at his job, we are still close to some family and for the family we are not close to well who wouldn't want to come to Florida to visit. I mean honestly! =D Well that is my blog for the day. Thanks for reading it and keeping up with my posts!
