Okay, so I may not be the most interesting read and I may not say anything that you don't already know but this diary is mainly for myself. I enjoy sharing it with others, particularly my close friends so they know what's happening in my world, but its still mainly for me. I love to type out my thoughts. Its a great break from my otherwise hectic day. And I love reading over old entries and seeing how much life has changed. So enjoy the read but try not to be too critical.

My Short-comings
May 15, 2007 - 1:34 p.m.

I'm on a mission, you might say, to get a few things straightened out in my life. The first is my house-cleaning abilities. I have allowed the house (primarily the laundry) to get out of hand recently. So beginning yesterday, whatever time was not spent taking care of the girls was spent straightening and cleaning. I took a friend's and Paul's advice and worked one room at a time. Though I did not get near the entire house done, I did get quite a bit accomplished. Today will be more of the same. And with it being rainy outside, it will be that much easier to get things done around the house.

Another thing that I struggle with is waking up with Paul. Getting up with the alarm means a great deal to Paul so I am determined, through prayer & God's help, to get up with him from now on. With Morgan beginning Kindergarten in the Fall, it is quite necessary, anyway. Though I feel a bit sleepy first thing in the morning, I have gotten so much more accomplished by getting up earlier.

The last thing that I am working on is my heart. I took a good look inside this past week and God showed where I was lacking in many areas as a wife, mother, friend and as a Christian. I will not go into detail about my downfalls or struggles as that is between the Lord and I but it is something that I am trying to work on through God. I do not want to appear before Him and be found lacking. I want to be used by God and I cannot be if I am not growing.

So, there it is. I have a lot that I need to do but I am very thankful that God is patient with me and forgiving of my short-comings. It excites me to know that God is working in my heart and life. I need to get back to the house cleaning and take care of Morgan who is in the bath at the moment so I will go for now. Enjoy your week!
