This is an amazing post about our priorities as Christians, wives and mothers. Very convicting!

Sorry I haven’t been posting much. We’ve been finding ways to get out of the heat this summer.

We found a great area that is only 3 hours away to try out camping. (Last year we decided that we should adopt camping as a family hobby. This is only our second attempt at it and we’ve gone with a group of friends each time.)

We had a great time.

The kids had a great time playing with their friends. They decided to build a bridge across a small ditch. After working for 1 1/2 days on it—it was actually sturdy enough for 6 of them to all stand on it wihtout it failing!

Here’s a picture:

We also caught a beautiful butterfly in our tent!

I love being out in God’s creation and enjoying the beauty he created.

I found this wonderful resource online from www.reviveourhearts.com.

It is a challenge for wives for the next 30 days to do the following:

• You can’t say anything negative about your husband …to your husband…or to anyone else, about your husband.

• Say something that you admire or appreciate about your husband…to your
  husband…and to someone else, about your husband!

Here is a pdf file that you can download daily encouragement and ideas to keep you going.

I thought this would be fun and a good way to start the new year! I am doing it and I hope you will too!
