I am at a time in my life where I feel as if this is just where God wants me to be. Mark and I rely on each other for so much, love, support, parental guidance, house work, making money, friendship, etc. Right now in life we are making it...and by this I mean we are making our children happy, making them healthy, providing them with what they NEED, our bills are paid on time, we have food in our pantry, we don't go hungry. We don't have much, but it doesn't matter because we are happy. I am trying to teach my children (and my husband) the difference between NEED and WANT. There are definitely things we want...beach vacation, new clothes, new shoes, a newer family car, a pedicure :o), to not have to ask for help :o( financially...We laugh together, we live together, and we love together as a family. We have more than some families, but we have a lot less than others...in the terms of tangible items. I feel that we have everything we could ever need, hope for, pray for, and dream of! We are so blessed to have what we do...love, 4 beautiful, healthy daughters, my parents who would drop everything for us, aunts, uncles, siblings, that are all willing to help with the children, friends who are amazing!, but most of all a God that leads us where he wants us to be, shows us how to love, shows us how to parent, and leads us each and everyday in His way.

We don't make a lot of money, but we do with it what we should, our bills get paid, our children have food, and a roof over their heads; its just hard to accept that life isn't about a new car, steak for dinner, name brand clothing, having a perfectly manicured flower bed, etc. but rather life is about the happiness, love, and laughter that you can find in our house (on most days).

Numbers 6:24-26"The LORD bless you and keep you;the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace."

and He has given me peace.
