Ahhh... good advice.

I just had to write this down. Tonight I was finally reading in that book a friend gave me several months ago (you know, the one's your friends give you and you never read.). How astonishing that she was actually right and I really do need this book! :)
Here is just a part of what I needed to read tonight....

"If I choose to, I can learn to be content with the life God has given me, whether I have a little or a lot to live it with. What keeps me from being content is not what God is or isn't supplying. The real problem is that I,(Valerie), will not adjust my expectations to life's limitations- I want more than I can have, ask for more than I need, strive for more than I can do, and expect more than God has promised." (page 11, Seasons of a Mothers Heart, by Sally Clarkson)

OK read that last line again and let that sink in.........real deep.

Donate to our adoption!


I write on the most varied, and well... sometimes quite odd topics. I am a mom to three, soon to be four amazing kiddos. I am the wife of the only man in the world who can melt me, frustrate me, teach me, mold me, lead me, romance me and drive me a bit crazy. God has saved me from myself, my sins, and my hellbound road, and for that I am forever grateful. I love my King, my kids, my Sweetheart, and the life that Christ has led me to. I am passionate about my faith, healthy living, frugality, adoption, purity, children, and homeschooling, as well as a host of other things. These things do not define me but definitely hold my interest in a conversation! These are also some of the things that I speak about here.
