Cory went with my dad on the annual trip this year. I think they had a good time...it took them longer than usual to catch their limit, but dad says... A wise man once said "A bad day fishing is better than a good day at work" and boy was he wise.
Here is the crew...Cory acting like he can fish :) Ryan caught one!
Hey Kara, I was reading your thoughts about having a hard time right now. I am doing this women's bible study on Wednesday night and we are reading the book, You Matter More Than You Think, it is written by Dr. Leslie Parrott. She is a great author and I am really enjoying the read. I think you should try it out, you would be amazed at the difference you make in many peoples lives daily.
Kara- first of all I want to say that you do like a million things that matter, I do not even know how you find to do all of the things that you do. I think that it has something to do with how organized you are and I wish I had a lot more of that in me.
When I was reading your comments I was thinking to myself that I have the same feelings for different reasons. Being a working mother of three small boys is just so overwhelming sometimes. I really struggle with what is more important and I pray all the time the God would show me how to manage my time more efficiently so that I have more time for Him. I feel terrible that I am not doing the things I need to do with my boys, that I do not have all of those little taken for granted moments because I am not around enough. Even the small things like doing laundry and cooking do not get done like they should. So I am always thinking to myself "Am I setting a bad example of what a mothers role really is?" I do not want my children to have that picture of a mother. Trust me, I never go to bed with the house picked up and ready for my day tomorrow. What does that feel like anyway? :)
Okay, now that I have rambled on forever I better go back diaper bags, get clothes out for tomorrw, make sure the back pack is ready etc.
Man- I really do feel better now that I got some of that off of my chest. Thanks for listening.
