I'm back...

Okay, I know, I have not blogged in awhile. I have been getting some flak on that, so...

The first 2 kws of summer we were doing swimming lessons. My children now jump off the diving board and swim in the deep w/out floaties. It is awesome and they love it.
Through this I have also discovered some personality traits in my children that have become more noticable.
Elizabeth is very focused and if she wants to learn something she will do it until she gets it right. For instance, she wanted to learn to dive. So while we were at my mom's house (they have a pool) she asked Pappy to show her. She kept trying over and over until she did it. She learned within about 5-10 minutes. Determination.
Thomas is very laid back. If he wants to try something he will try but if he can't get it after a couple of times, he would rather move on to something else. He doesn't get frustrated just kind of "Oh well, I guess that's not my thing".
This last week we had VBS, Sunday - Wednesday night. 2 hours long! I was with the 2 year olds. I love them! I could tell by Tuesday night they were tired.
This Thursday we leave for Colorado! We are going to Winter Park (HGTV's Dream House was there last year or the year before). We will be doing lots of things and having lots of fun. The kids are really excited.
I am still researching and writing my book. Not working on it as much as I would like or need but have really been praying about taking charge of that.
I know some people may be thinking "you writing a book - hahaha". But I know that is what He has called me to do. My spirit is very stirred up about the topic I am first writing on. And the Lord has already given me several more. I just have to make myself focus and not let the distractions of life (the devil doesn't want me to write this book) get in the way and charge in!
We, especially as Christians, need to stop sitting back and waiting for God to do for us. He has told us throughout the Word that we have to work for our faith to take hold. We are given the choice of what road we will take. He has a plan, but you have to choose to follow His plan or the one the devil would rather you take.
I love you all and God bless!
