"Yes, we did produce a near-perfect republic. But will they keep it? Or will they, in the enjoyment of plenty, lose the memory of freedom? Material abundance without character is the path of destruction"-Thomas Jefferson

I have decided

that I can do this:
(from Kitchen Fun With My Three Sons-an amazing blog chock full of goodies like this!)

or this:
(from The Inspired Room, yet another amazing decorating blog that I'm obsessed with..)

or this:
(homeschooling Reagan)

But I CANNOT do all three. And I don't think God expects me to. What I do think God expects me to do is stop growling and frowning at my child all the time, stop berating her, START letting her be a kid, let go of the expectations that I have for myself and the failures that those expectations bring and just simply do what it is God is leading me to do.

  1. So true, Leah. We can't do it "all". The important thing is to do what God has called us to.
