Parks and Ducks:)






We had the BEST day the other day! We went up to Eureka park around 8am and kelsey rode her bike and i pushed kailyn in the stroller and at times kailyn pushed too! anyway 2 miles of riding/walking and 2 different stops at parks along the way.
My thought process...
So i have been so blessed to be able to see a Christian Counselor and she has given me scripture and led me in such a way to have direction w/ the girls and just my everyday walk. she had me think of Janson as Christ, Me as the chuch and God put us together so when we come together we make Disciples...Such a great analogy. That is exactly what Jesus did...He comes together w/ the Church to make disciples while on earth...so for me to see that God has the same plan for me was amazing...wierd b/c something i knew in my head but not in my heart. Titus 2 talks about the role of a wife/mother and how God desires us to be a helpmate...yes that sounds feminist in our modern world but God wants us daily to make a plan. That is what Jesus did every moment. He did not wake up and just go on a whim...He planned out what he was going to do w/ his disciples...So this is the advice my counselor gave me...Every morning wake up and after my quiet time journal what is my role as a wife today? what is my role as a mom today? she also told me that Jesus only had so many years to disciple and that is the same w/ Janson and I. I am only home w/ them for a VERY short time before they go off to school and then my time is more limited. She showed me just how IMPORTANT my job is as a mother and role at home. It is so EASY for me to forget that. The world is so good at telling me that more money is better and success is found in our job...well in all actuallity success is found right here at home. She also showed me how important it is for me while i am at home to teach the girls and show the girls how i encourage/support Janson...how they daily see how we are TOGETHER on everything...So my point in all this is how greatful I am that God has revealed just how important my role is and Satan SO wants to tell me otherwise...So this morning was GREAT b/c everything i did was planned out and God so blessed that time. we walked/talked looked at every bug/insect and God gave me this time to point it all back to him.
at first i did feel a little odd about seeing a Christian counselor b/c sounds like something was wrong...but in all actuallity something is always wrong...we are living on earth! we are sinful and need daily help until Christ comes...So God humbled me and showed me my pride very fast in any insecurity that i had:)
anyways just wanted to share what has been on my heart and just how encouraged i have been in daiy asking Today what is my role as a wife/mother...and then seeking it out:)

Stacy, what a great post. Thanks for passing on what you learned I will put it to good use! The mantra "well it could be worse" is what kept me from getting help for a while. Until I saw how bad it really was, haha and good it could be... Thank you Jesus! Love you girl! Angi
