C'est la Vie: Thursday Night Again?!?

Wasn't it just Sunday night and I was complaining about what a long week I had ahead of me? Surely I can't be sitting on the cusp of another weekend? But here it is. Thursday night. Tomorrow will go by in a blink, just like every other day this week did. Who am I kidding? Just like every other day of my life since having kids!

Maybe this week I'll learn to stop complaining and just enjoy. On nights like this (a cool breeze wafting through the window and plans for fun with friends on the horizon) it seems particularly possible to sit back, relax, and enjoy this ride of life. But catch me on Monday morning trying to fly out the door with two kids in tow and I'm singing a different tune. Life is like that. It's fast. It's hectic. It's exhausting.

But it's also wonderful. It's funny. It's exciting. It's what I'm made for! Thank God for moments when when I can take a deep breath and just be thankful. Thankful that I'm a mom. Thankful for my husband, my home, my friends, my Savior. 'Cause Monday morning is coming fast... and I don't want to miss a thing.

Take a moment to be thankful. If it would make you feel good, write down five things and hang them up on your mirror in the bathroom or above the kitchen sink.

Mom Spot: Progressive Pioneer

Here is another blog I've come across in recent weeks. She has gorgeous pictures and her post yesterday was truly fantastic.

"Maine is pretty rainy in the spring.  And I lived in Oregon for awhile and it defines rainy.  So, a little rain rarely puts me in a gray mood.  In fact, this rainy, rainy spring we've been having here in Utah has actually made me feel quite cheerful!  Each rainy day has felt like something of a celebration."

Psalm 16

This Psalm has been blessing me. I pray it will bless you too. Thanks to BibleGateway.com for making it so easy to share these beautiful words with you.16 Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
2 I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from you.” 3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,
in whom is all my delight. 4 The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply;
their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out
or take their names on my lips. 5 The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;
you hold my lot.
6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance. 7 I bless the Lord who gives me counsel;
in the night also my heart instructs me.
8 I have set the Lord always before me;
because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my
