Lessons I'm Learning

Lessons i'm learning (in no particular order)...


  • Being mature and disciplined is hard work and isn't fun, but allows you to do so much more of what is truly important!
  • Diaper sprayers are soooo worth it when it comes to cloth diapering 
  • Doing a little laundry everyday helps it not to get quite as overwhelming
  • 8 months olds can grab and spill something before you even get it set down
  • It doesn't really matter if the schedule changes every day as long as your family gets time together and has what they need
  • The story of Jonah in the Bible is much more than just for a kids' Sunday school class...good life lessons!
  • Watching your man in all his strength and masculinity, compassionately caring for your baby is every wife/mom's dream come true!  
  • Keep things in perspective
  • When you have 5 classes worth of lesson plans to prepare, it's okay to only be ready for the next day and maybe only a few minutes ahead of the kids...most of the time they won't ever even know
  • There is no better sound than the giggle of a baby
  • When given the opportunity, middle school kids can have very deep and meaningful conversations
  • Living life in community with other imperfect people is really messy and difficult but absolutely essential and totally worth it!  I'm thankful for a church family that does life and ministry this way
  • I've always known this, but never cease to be amazed at how true this is...I have been redeemed by a loving Savior and am BLESSED beyond belief!!

I'd love to hear any of your lessons...
