I realized recently that my life is somewhat like an amateur juggling act. There are all these different pieces that I juggle. And by juggle, I literally mean throw them in the air and hope they go where I want them to. Some days everything falls beautifully in place and all the pieces I'm juggling go right where I want them and my life is just like I envision it. Then just when I start to think I'm getting good at juggling there are other days, when everything comes crashing down. I'm humbled and I come to the conclusion that I'm really not a very good juggler. Then when I'm tempted to just leave the pieces on the ground, I'm reminded of grace and reminded that I don't have to do this juggling perfectly. I'm reminded and so very thankful I know the Ultimate Juggler, the one who keeps the universe in motion. Thankful that He has patience with me when my piece fall down and comes along side me and helps me pick the pieces up and try to juggle them again.
So, today even though I don't feel like being Mom, disciplining, cleaning the house or getting ready for school tomorrow and the list could go on... through the Lord's grace I'm attempting to keep the pieces in the air. I updated our blog with what we have been up to lately. Here's to picking up the pieces and trying to keep on keeping on even when I don't feel like it!
Philippians 3:12- 14 "Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."

Amen sista! I hear ya! Beautifully said.
Thank you for reminding me that I really do have someone whose on my side all of the time, and He's cheering me on even on my hard days.
BTW - LOVE the picture of the boys at the very top of your blog. They just look so handsome and so full of life!
