Hiatus Over

I admit that I haven't been very anxious about sharing my life with the world on this blog for a while. And while feeling this way, I just got busy with life -searching for a house, moving in with my parents, being pregnant with number four, and now becoming homeowners for the second time tomorrow.

I also admit that I can be very moody - and that's putting it nicely - when I'm pregnant. Hormones and I do not get along, I'm ready for them to be locked up until I'm 50 and can handle them without a house full of kids.

Amidst all of our moves and life changes, I am having a difficult time raising our boys, one in particular. I know that we signed up for this and I am so thankful for friends and family helping and encouraging us. I am just so so so ready for things to settle down.

I know I have not been the most loving wife, mother, daughter or sister in the past few months. I'm praying that God will be gracious and forgive my disobedience and pride and shower me with mercy and use my rags for His glory.

So now I will begin again -

Courtney, I am praying for you! I cannot imagine the crazy life you lead, but know you can handle it, and can tell that you are raising healthy happy kids by your beautiful pictures! Give yourself a break now and then, and I am glad to see you will be blogging again =)I HOPE to see you again sometime soon!!!

i am totally with you this. with 4 boys, there are totally days when i just don't know what to do with them, how to discipline them and how to teach them Gods' love for them and others. i fear that i fail everyday. i'm sure you will thrive with the new baby and a new found love for your kiddos. with family nearby, all will be well. hang in there and take it one day at a time!

thanks for the encouragement Janelle, I often wonder how you do it, esp. with homeschooling. I'm considering that myself. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who struggles with raising boys.
hope you're enjoying/enjoyed your time in the states!
