Taking it One Week... or Day... at a Time

I have a new way of living this year... one week at a time and so far it's been the best fall ever. I always get a bit overwhelmed once fall gets here each year. For many good reasons... school starts, Halloween is big at our house, Benjamin's birthday, our anniversary, Wright's birthday and then two days later Noel's Birthday. All of these events happen within three weeks , my sister-in- law also has a October birthday so that will add to all the fun! I just go through it all and am so glad when it's all over. HOWEVER, this is the year of change and I believe it's going great so far.

birthday party from years past...notice little princess leias and luke skywalkers

In August our church asked me to help with a large event that is happening this Sunday. I prayed a long time about it and decided that although it's two weeks after my brother's wedding and lots... lots... lots... of work that God was asking me to say yes. So I did say yes and promised my husband that I would make this work for our family not take it all out on my family because mommy has taken on too much. We'll God has been good... I am actually not stressed this week, I am taking it one day at a time while making time for my family and trying to have fun with what I am doing. The week isn't over yet but I am saying positive and know God is going to bless our family in the process. Time to go I have to cut balloon string!
