Family

If I'm honest my life is nothing like I thought it would be when I was a child. If I had it my way I would have been married with 3-5 kids by now. I'd be a stay at home mom who homeschooled them all and travelled the world with my husband.  Yet somehow the Lord chose otherwise. I'm 31 work 2 part time jobs and barely get a breather, not that as a mom I'd get one either, but still. 

This week part of my teaching lesson is on families and I just want to rip it up but I have chosen instead to try and be joyful for my sweet parents who show up every day. I'm reminded that while I might not have my own little family I am blessed with 3 good friends who let me be a part of their children's lives. I know that the Lord is still at work in me and uses me in ways I couldn't have imagined to bless others, that doesn't mean the longing disappears but today I am thankful for fellowship with friends whether bike rides, cooking or just bein listening ears to one another people are this weeks blessing!
