I haven't been able to post anything for a while now because I was busy preparing for having and then caring for my new baby. He was born June 10th weighing 7lb. My children keep me so busy I never have time for the computer any more. I have some weight loss goals and am breastfeeding the infant and my toddler, who just hasn't been ready to wean and I don't have the heart to force him. I am working to create a gospel centered home for these precious spirits that God has entrusted me with.
Earlier this week I was on Facebook on my phone just quickly between activities, and some of the things I was reading suddenly felt like gossip to me. I realized this particular aspect was distinctly not good for my spirit. But there was something the day before that gave me a great idea and an opportunity to help someone in need that I wouldn't otherwise have known they were in need. I continue to find myself torn between the good and bad aspects but that is the way it is with the use of any technology these days.
My husband was working two jobs for about the past year and a couple weeks after the baby came we were able to afford for him to quit one of them. This is a huge blessing for the whole family. Now he can be a greater support for me in my responsibilities around the house, and he can be more involved with the children. We are starting to set weekly goals together in family council each Sunday. We will have spiritual goals for ourselves and the family, fitness and health goals, and household maintenance goals.
It feels so good to make my family the priority they should be in my life.
