I sat here and pondered on what I would write about today. I'm watching the girls run, play, and try to act like me? There is no fighting! YEAH! I hear the girls talking amongst themselves, "Okay girls what are we going to learn today" says Breanna , "Do you need to use the restroom, Raylee?" asks Gracie, "Mom , Can we help you?".
I can't help but be so proud of how they are growing into respectful, helpful little girls. It has been an uphill battle on hoping that by my example I could instill such values as they are starting to show now. I knew from the time my girls were born, that I was so blessed and had a job so important in raising them. I thank God everyday!
The most common and most important discipleship relationship is that of parent and child. It is a nurturing, training, teaching, and discipling relationship. Since the contact between parent and child is so close, teaching is unavoidable. The child will be like the parent in many ways. "Like father, like son" is not just a catchy saying - it is the reality of life on earth. The parent has a responsibilty before God and others to disciple and teach their children successfully.
I'm going to be working on myself daily, to insure that I am setting the right example. I'm going to remember to change what isn't working and look for methods that do. Most important I'm going to love my children unconditionally and continue to pray for guidance. :)

We are gearing up for a great school year at home.
Today the girls made books titled "About Me". On the inside we included facts about them and they drew a picture of themselves. While I was helping Gracie with writing her name, Raylee managed to get a hold of the glitter. Needless to say we had glitter everywhere. Oh what a colorful day!
I guess thats better than the egg incident we had a few weeks ago. Apparently Raylee wanted some eggs. She removed a small pan from the cabinet and eggs from the fridge. Sat down in the middle of the floor and proceeded to attempt to fix eggs. When I walked around the corner all I saw was egg yolk everywhere and I do mean everywhere you could walk! She was covered from head to toe! I do wish I had got a picture, but I was to busy running to the shower with her. LoL :) I would love to hear stories from other mothers. I'm sure you have a few! :) Have a great Day! *Blessings

Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
Proverbs 6:6
So what can we learn from the ant?
The ant is a very hard working, wise species. They know they need to store enough food for the winter. Even at the risk of us coming along and stepping on them!
Ants work hard to build and defend their nest. The worker ants begin their jobs almost immediately; to enlarge their nest, gather food and care for the other eggs. If an ant does this by instinct, how much more should we who have brains and souls prepare for the future? Yet the animals seem to have a much better handle on saving than most humans.
God's word says that the foolish servant spent everything he had, and that the wise servant went out and multiplied what he had been given. The servant was even considered foolish who "hid" what had been entrusted to him, because he did not have an increase.
