I like to look back over the past week and see how I did as a mommy and a wife. So, my plan is to always do this every Monday.
I can tell a difference this past week from any other week. I was so focused on God and the two jobs that He gave me to do and so thankful that I didn't waste any more time before I made it my focus.
I was a better mommy. I was a better wife. It was easy and rewarding and the week went so very smooth!! Even waking up everyday at 5:30 to spend an hour with God was easy. I'll be honest and admit that I had the thought to turn the alarm off and stay in bed every morning, but I got up anyway. That is the very reason for all of my changes this past week. If I didn't spend that time in worship and in the Word, my week would have been like any other. I would have tried to focus on being a good mom and wife, but I would have failed on my own. I am amazed with how quickly God works. The little miracles are all around me. I feel like they are my reward for being obedient, as if God is saying "keep it up, this is only the beginning of what I will do" I am in awe!!!
This week we made christmas cutout cookies and decorated them, drove around and looked at christmas lights, went to the dollar store and the boys got to spend $5 buying christmas presents for the family (which they LOVED!!!), then they wrapped them all by themselves. Even though some of that made a big mess or was a waste of wrapping paper and tape, I was able to really focus on them and enjoy the moment!
