Life :)

Life is short, you guys. I feel like I just found out I was pregnant and now I am almost 9 months pregnant. My husband and I have been in California for 2 years, and I feel like we made that road trip from Texas a few months ago. If we're lucky, we might be making a road trip back to Texas (for good) sooner than we originally realized. 

Life just keeps on truckin' and sometimes I wonder if I am living each day to its fullest. I wonder if I am pleasing God with my actions. Do I sometimes fail? Heck yes, I do. I'm not about to say I am perfect, I am far from it. But, I try to learn from my previous actions. I'm trying to take each day as it comes and live life in the correct order. 

God first, Husband second, Kid(s) (hey, dogs count to me!) third. 

It is something I am constantly working on. I hope it is something you can work on, too. Life can get away from us rather quickly, and if we just go through the motions, we'll be on a path that we don't recognize. 

Don't let that happen. Don't be selfish, either. As much as we need to care for our children, remember to care for your spouse as well. Love him, be there for him, talk with him, be intimate with him. I'm not talking just about the bedroom, I'm saying be intimate and personal with him. 

I don't have everything figured out, but I know that my husband needs my love and affection, too. Am I going to mess things up and not give him as much attention as he deserves? I'm sure I will. But, I can constantly work on it. That's part of life, isn't it?

Spend quality time with your family. That includes God. It is just something I've learned through the years, and I'm sure I will continue to learn as time goes on. Have an intimate relationship with God. 

Hit up The Bible and start a reading plan. I really enjoy Joyce Meyer's devotional plans. Am I telling you what to do? No, I'm just telling you what I do; you can make your own decisions. I also like Thrive Moms, which sends you a weekly devotional, and Proverbs 31 Ministries, which can send you a daily devotional. These are just some resources I use, and if they work for you, Yay! If not, to each their own. :)

Remember, life is what you make it!
