Just Serve!

Lately I have been working on serving without expecting anything in return. I really really am a selfish person...

The other day, my neighbor was telling me how he had so many tomatoes and how he didn't know how to can them. So I said that I would can his while I was canning mine. In the middle of canning all these tomatoes, while sauce spattered all over my kitchen, while sweat dripped from my head from the intense heat of the kitchen, and while trying to can it all before the children waked, I found myself saying "I can't believe I told him I would do this! IF HE ONLY KNEW WHAT THIS ENTAILS!"

The other night I really wanted my husband to give me some extra special attention. It was one of those days and I felt like I needed some "sweet lovin". I just wanted him to spend his whole evening doing what I wanted. I fell asleep very annoyed because the night didn't go as I planned.

The other day was laundry day and I had a schedule of stuff to get done. My mind was only on what needed to get done. When the kids began to holler and run all over the place, I snapped and told them to sit on their shapes (duct taped shapes on the kitchen floor) until I could think. Not realizing that they just needed some mom time.


These are just some of the selfish moments of my life and that I reflect on. I am challenged to die every day and see my need for a savior!

Daily

I know it's been a long long time since I've posted and I really do desire to post more. I honestly haven't made it a priority as of late. Ever since I picked up my girls from NY, we've been on a schedule that has been working well for us but sadly, blogging hasn't been on it. So I shall make a goal. To blog 5 times each week. Please keep me accountable!

And for the record, I love not having facebook :)
