The Better Part: I'm ba-a-ack!

I'm ba-a-ack!

After a long hiatus, sabatical, whatever...I'm back. I miss my blog! It is therapy for me of the best kind...FREE! Since I last posted much has happened...My husband completed his degree Accounting from South and is beginning a new job, my oldest child has completed Kindergarten and is in 1st grade, we have successfully surrived the terrificly-terrible two's with Andrew and his first ER visit, we sold our house and moved, and we have another precious boy (baby Will 5 mos.) !

All this and it feels like I just sat down here yesterday. I told a friend this during Christmas, "I feel like this Holiday Season is a marathon. When I finally get to a checkpoint, everyone has already left and there's not even any water out! Just a sign that says: NEXT CHECKPOINT 5 MILES! So on I run...when I get there...the party's over, nobody cheering on the sides, & no water!"

So here I am, my holiday season officially ended after my oldest son's January birthday. Then we got a break and a chance to catch up with our lives. Catch up I have and now I'm back. Things have changed, new scenery, new little person in my life, but I'm still me...I'm just me with 3 boys instead of 2.

My blog may be changing a little, only fitting since I have too. Hope you find some rest here at this checkpoint and catch up with us as you read.

and this is my blog, The Better Part!

I’m looking for encouragement everyday. I think we all are! So here’s my offering to you: encouragement in wholeheartedly pursuing your unique calling and purpose that comes out of a vibrant relationship with Jesus. Women who are loving others out of this kind of life in Christ are changing the world! Sharing our stories connects us. That connection is like deep calling to deep and iron sharpening iron.

So many of us miss opportunities to extend the love of Christ by missing moments of our ordinary days that are the real and better part. Jesus encourages us to forget about fussing over things that do not matter and take hold of what cannot be taken away, and that thing that cannot be taken is a vibrant, thriving, authentic life in Him. So let’s live fully alive and purposed in all of life!

Luke 10:41,42 "...you’re fussing far too much and getting yourself worked up over nothing. One thing only is essential, and Mary has chosen it—it’s the main course, and won’t be taken from her.”
