Leaving a Legacy

I am striving to live a Spirit-filled life and bear much fruit. If there is one thing I want to do while I am still on this earth...it is to live and love by grace alone. I have spent too much of my saved life in worry and strife. Recently, I made a list of what I want to accomplish...I want to have happy, healthy, Christ-minded kids, a clean house ready for whomever may need it, keep my finances under control, have enough down time to plan whatever task or activity may be needed, a quality quiet time, be a supportive wife, attend a Women's Bible Study for continual growth, be an encouragement to others, be a helpful friend, be joyful and confident, be loving and kind-hearted, and be content in everything.

The past three years of my life have been spent homeschooling my two older children. I have learned a lot about sacrifice and that this life is not about me. I have learned that I need to depend on the Lord for my happiness and not my husband. I have learned that we cannot live by works...nothing we can do is good enough. Jesus makes us acceptable, not ourselves. My two younger ones have taught me how important it is to slow down and enjoy this life one day at a time...they grow up so fast. I am thankful that Jesus is the author and finisher of my faith and He will do it!!!
