Sweet kiss & no diligence.

I didn't get in the bed until late last night and as I was laying there almost asleep I felt this sweet little kiss on my forehead. It kinda startled me, but when I opened my eyes there was my sweet little girl saying "I love you momma". I immediately turned over to my other side and let her get into my nook and there she got snuggy wuggy with me and fell asleep. I thought at that moment how blessed I was to have her in my life and that I always hope I remember that moment. I know there will come a day when she will be too big to do that but I hope she will always know that I love her and am there for whatever type of comfort she needs.

I'm going to try something new. In my MOPS Bible study that I go to we have been studying about the Proverbs 31 woman. Yesterday we talked about being diligent in whatever tasks we may have for the day. I realized that although by definition I am not the "lazy" woman, I did come to realize that I am a person who likes to start a project but may not always finish it due to other things that I start on. As I write, I have winter clothes or clothes that don't fit anymore of the kids that I cleaned out of their drawers just sitting around waiting for them to be boxed up. What am I waiting on..for them to just automatically jump in the boxes themselves? Why haven't I finished what I started? I am bad about getting the laundry started but not finishing it to the end because I absolutely hate to fold clothes. Maybe because that's what was one of mine and my sister's chores growing up. I don't mind sorting, washing and drying the clothes, but when it comes to having to fold them..I would rather make a mountain. And then of course I end up having a huge mess and have to sit for awhile and do nothing but fold clothes. You would think that I would get the hint..I'm a slow learner. My hubby says.."Why don't you just fold them when they come out of the dryer?" Of course I have an answer but in reality it is just an excuse. I have other things to be doing then stop and fold those hot clothes. Those are only two examples of my lack of diligence, but I am going to try and be more diligent in the tasks that I start. More diligent so that I can actually finish what I started. And most importantly because it will honor the Lord. Now, I know I won't be great at it to start with but we all know that we have to start with baby steps when making a change. AND I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!!
