This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine....

Wow. So, do you see how bad I am at posting anything to a blog? My posts are almost non existant. Good thing I don't have peeps waiting to read something brilliant or funny on here like so many other bloggers do. :) So the last couple of months have been....eh. My marriage is falling apart, my gallbladder is giving me problems, my son is behind in his homeschooling and my puppy just died. BUT, aside from all of those sad miserable things.....GOD is good and is still in control and everything will be A-okay. That's the awesome thing about being a born again, washed in the blood Christian. Jesus has my back. So now on to the positive things...Spring is almost here, which means our garden will get started, Easter, Chickens, and our new puppy. I'm sure there are other good positive things to mention, but these are the things that my Littles are the most excited about. (forgive me if my sentences and paragraphs run together or if I ramble. I assume no one is reading this but me. Just putting thoughts to paper, so to speak). Gardening should be interesting. I am extremely new to it, as in- never planted anything before in my life. It should be a good learning experience for me and for the Beans. Raising chickens is also going to be a first for us, but I think it will teach Bean #1 and Bean #2 responsibility(and we will get delicious fresh eggs out of the deal, eventually. :)). The older I get the more I wish I knew how to do so that I could teach my children at their young ages. I want to learn to sew (by hand and with a machine), I want to knit and to crocet....I just want to DO. I feel as though the last couple of years have just been spent lazing around. I've stayed in a kind of funk for some time and I believe it's time to shake it off and start living the life that Jesus expects me to live. I need to be spreading the gospel, living his word, teaching my children to live his word, and at the same time spend as much positive influencing time with them as possible so that I can "get to them" before the world does. Matthew 5:16 "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
