Dear God,
Please give me the strength to fulfill the dreams and goals You have placed in my heart.

What a powerful prayer. Some of you sent me emails and commented on my last post, and unfortunately I don't have any updates right now, but I ran across this devotion today and just thought it was worth sharing. Whatever the outcome is, these words and this prayer are very applicable. In every situation, in every decision...

There will always be a sacrifice of something when we desire to move forward in an area of our lives. Goals are exciting. Possibility of change is alluring. Sacrifice is hard, but worth it in the big picture of our lives.

We all have decisions to make, some large, some small. Sometimes everything falls into place, and sometimes it doesn't. If you have peace in your heart I believe you are where you are supposed to be. But if you feel like there is something pulling you in another direction, then there is probably something more out there that you are missing.

Something to think about!

LOVE


I am loving this stage w/ Abbie. Loving it. Maybe it's because she's been sleeping through the night for a few months now, and she's not fighting naps like she used to, and she is sleeping in, for her anyways. Man, I guess I didn't realize how unhappy the whole sleep thing was making me - but it is wonderful when you don't have to go to bed and wonder what time you are going to be woken up in the middle of the night. So anyways, I love this age. Even just a few weeks ago, I was feeling the terrible twos come on, and fast. But now, it seems she has reverted back to her sweet self. She still has a mind of her own, but she listens better and is not so adamant about getting her way. It's like she understands more, or something like that.


As for Wes and I, well, we might be making some important decisions soon. I'll share more later, but for now, let me just say I'm excited about what the year might bring.


Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!
