Man has it been busy lately! If you
have been following along, I apologize for the infrequency of posts
as of late, but as can be expected, life can be a bit busy....funny
thing is life is busier than the kids! Like I mentioned a few posts
ago, we just sold our house and are in the middle of boxes upon boxes
of stuff. Its funny how everybody says when they move, “I didn't
realize I had so much stuff!” and while we have culled a whole
bunch of stuff in the past few years, we still have a ton of stuff.
How many times can I stuff the word
“stuff “in a paragraph?
In the mean time the sun is shining and
the birds are starting to sing, which is a welcome change. I am
really liking this working from home gig.
When I started this blog, I had no idea
where it was going to go or what I was going to write about, only
that I wanted to share the adventures of two parents raising seven
kids on a single income. But while a certain amount of financial
discipline and managing time on the fly is involved, I think that our
biggest secret to it all is being fully reliant on God....or
F.R.O.G.(ing) as I sometimes put it.
The other big secret is to take is to
take things day by day. You can spend a lot of time trying to plan
for the future, and while I am a big advocate of thinking in the
bigger picture (I myself think in five and ten year plans) you run
the risk of losing the gift of the present moment when you stay too
focused on what things may come.
Its been a while since I referenced
scripture in one of my posts, but I have been reflecting on Matthew
6: 25-34 lately.
Especially Verse 34, “so do not worry
about tomorrow, tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today's
trouble is enough for today.
Better yet:
