I thought today how life is ever changing and I used to think that I feared change. It is amazing how much I have grown and changed over the years. I'm so surprised where God has brought me. I would have NEVER pictured my life like this when I was in high school or even when Joey and I first got married.
Joey and I prayed and believed that this is what God wanted for our life and we stepped out in faith. Yes, we were frightened and unsure, but it felt right. The changes we have seen in Caleb are profound. He is just happy, plain and simple, he seems at peace. We are not rushed anymore and he is just so much more calm. He is happy to do what I assign him and he has not given me any trouble yet. I'm sure we will experience times when he pushes back, but it hasn't happened yet.
We have really been trying to get used to this new freedom. I've had a hard time getting on a schedule with simple things, like when do I grocery shop? We've gotten behind on groceries, laundry, housework, and showers, LOL...basically because we have been so focused to learning and school that the other is just not important.
Each day we have really tried to do a bible devotion/story first and prayer! I feel like our day just goes better if we take that time to set our eyes and thoughts on God. To be completely honest we haven't always had bible time as a family. We have always prayed together, but never a set devotion time. Now I feel that it is crucial and what we should have been doing all along. It is just amazing to see where God is leading our family.
I just hope people see that I am honest about our struggles. We are going through a transition, but we feel this is what God wants for our family. I see my children growing and learning together and being best friends.
